Amoeba

 Naegleria Infection – An Overview

Naegleria infection is a rare but usually fatal brain infection caused by an amoeba (Naegleria fowleri) commonly found in freshwater lakes, rivers, and hot springs.

Infection typically occurs when contaminated water enters the body through the nose during swimming or water sports. The amoeba then travels to the brain, causing severe inflammation and damage.

One of the earliest signs may be a change in the sense of smell or taste, followed by rapidly worsening symptoms.

Symptoms of Naegleria Infection

• Fever

• Sudden, severe headache

• Stiff neck

• Sensitivity to light

• Nausea and vomiting

• Confusion or disorientation

• Loss of balance

• Excessive sleepiness

• Seizures

• Hallucinations

Cholera

Cholera is a serious bacterial disease that usually causes severe diarrhea and dehydration. The disease is typically spread through contaminated water. In severe cases, immediate treatment is necessary because death can occur within hours. This can happen even if you were healthy before you caught it.

Common symptoms of cholera include:

sudden onset of diarrhea

nausea

vomiting

mild to severe dehydration

Colitis

Overview

Colitis is the inflammation of the inner lining of the colon (large intestine).
It can be caused by several factors including infections, inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, ischemia (reduced blood supply), allergic reactions, or microscopic colitis.

This condition may range from mild discomfort to severe, life-threatening complications if left untreated.

Symptoms of Colitis

• Fever and chills

• Fatigue and weakness

• Dehydration

• Eye inflammation

• Joint swelling and pain

• Canker sores in the mouth

• Skin inflammation or rashes

• Presence of mucus in the stool

• Bloody stool

Effects if Untreated

• Severe abdominal pain and cramping

• Persistent diarrhea leading to nutritional deficiencies

• Weight loss and weakness

• Risk of colon ulcers and bleeding

• Increased chance of colon perforation (life-threatening)

• Greater risk of colon cancer in long-standing cases

• Negative impact on daily life, emotional health, and social activities

Dengue Fever

Dengue Fever Overview

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection spread by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. It may present as mild flu-like illness, severe infection, or even no symptoms. In some cases, it can develop into dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome, which are potentially life-threatening.

Symptoms of Dengue

• High fever (up to 105°F / 40°C)

• Severe headache

• Pain behind the eyes

• Muscle, joint, and bone pain (“breakbone fever”)

• Rash over most of the body

• Mild bleeding (nose or gums)

• Easy bruising

Effects of Dengue

• Dehydration due to high fever and reduced fluid intake

• Severe weakness and fatigue lasting weeks after recovery

• Drop in platelet count, leading to increased risk of bleeding

• Liver and organ complications in severe cases

• Shock or multi-organ failure in dengue hemorrhagic fever or shock syndrome

Treatment of Dengue

There is no specific antiviral treatment for dengue. Management focuses on supportive care:

• Rest and adequate hydration

• Use of paracetamol for fever and pain (avoid aspirin or ibuprofen, as they increase bleeding risk)

• Monitoring platelet count and vital signs

• Hospitalization in severe cases with intravenous fluids and close observation

Homeopathic Treatment (Spaks Homeopathy Approach)

Homeopathy aims to relieve symptoms, boost immunity, and support faster recovery. Commonly used remedies include:

• Eupatorium Perfoliatum – for intense bone and muscle pains (“breakbone” sensation)

• Belladonna – for high fever with headache and flushed face

• Bryonia Alba – for body pains worse from movement, with thirst

• Gelsemium – for weakness, dizziness, and heavy eyelids

• Arsenicum Album – for restlessness, anxiety, and burning pains with exhaustion

.Diphtheria

Diphtheria – A Serious Infection (Spaks Homeopathy Overview)

Diphtheria is a serious bacterial infection that usually affects the mucous membranes of the nose and throat. The most typical sign is the formation of a thick, grayish membrane at the back of the throat, which may block the airway and make breathing very difficult.

 Symptoms

• Mild fever, weakness, and general malaise

• Swelling of the neck glands

• Swelling of soft tissues in the neck, giving a “bull neck” appearance

• Nasal discharge

• Rapid heartbeat (fast pulse)

• A thick gray membrane covering the throat and tonsils

• Sore throat with hoarseness of voice

• Difficulty in breathing or rapid breathing

 At Spaks Homeopathy, treatment is not limited to symptoms alone. We focus on the root cause, the patient’s constitution, and immunity. Homeopathic medicines help in controlling infection, easing breathing, and strengthening natural defense—all without side effects.

Ebola

Ebola Virus Disease (EVD)

Overview

Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), previously called Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever, is a severe and often fatal viral infection affecting humans and nonhuman primates. It belongs to the Filoviridae family, genus Ebolavirus.

The disease spreads mainly through direct contact with blood, body fluids, or tissues of infected individuals or animals. Outbreaks have historically occurred in parts of Africa, with high fatality rates due to rapid progression of illness.

Symptoms

The incubation period (time from infection to symptoms) ranges from 2 to 21 days, most commonly 8–10 days.

Early Symptoms:

• Fever

• Severe headache

• Muscle and joint pain

• Weakness and fatigue

• Loss of appetite

Progressive Symptoms:

• Diarrhea

• Vomiting

• Abdominal pain

• Rash

• Red eyes

• Chest pain, cough, sore throat

• Bleeding (internal and external, e.g., gums, stool, under skin)

Effects of Ebola

• Severe dehydration from vomiting and diarrhea

• Multi-organ failure (liver, kidney, heart)

• Hemorrhage (internal and external bleeding)

• Septic shock and death if untreated

• Psychological effects on survivors (anxiety, PTSD, weakness)

• High mortality rate in outbreaks

Homeopathic Treatment (Spaks Homeopathy)

While Ebola is a medical emergency requiring intensive hospital care, homeopathy can play a supportive role in improving symptom relief, recovery, and immunity. Remedies are chosen according to symptom patterns:

 Arsenicum Album – For extreme weakness, restlessness, diarrhea, and vomiting with anxiety.
 Crotalus Horridus – For hemorrhagic conditions, bleeding, and septic states.
 Carbo Vegetabilis – For collapse states with cold skin, weak pulse, and breathlessness.
 China Officinalis (Cinchona) – For weakness from fluid loss (diarrhea, vomiting, bleeding).
 Mercurius Solubilis – For high fever with mouth ulcers, sore throat, and bleeding gums.
