Duncan from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, asked:
Hi Julie,
I’m an American graduate student studying in Brazil and I’ve been throwing up for the past few hours.
Do you think there’s anything seriously wrong with me?
I know it’s probably food poisoning but I also know there are other scary bugs down here like Malaria and Typhoid.
Can you please scan me and see what’s causing this?
What can I do to feel better?
Thanks.
Duncan
Hi Duncan,
You poor baby!
In order to figure out the cause of your nausea and vomiting, I energetically connected to you in Brazil and saw what looked like a hologram of you in my mind’s eye. It was as if I was looking at an X-ray, MRI or CT scan of your body.
You are correct in assuming you have food poisoning. In fact, you do have a robust case of food poisoning.
According to the Mayo Clinic, “Food poisoning is caused by eating contaminated food.” The Clinic goes on to say, “Infectious organisms — including bacteria, viruses and parasites — or their toxins are the most common causes of food poisoning.”
As you have most likely already discovered, symptoms caused by food poisoning include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Watery or bloody diarrhea
- Abdominal pain and cramps
- Fever
Go see a doctor if you experience:
- Frequent episodes of vomiting and inability to keep liquids down
- Bloody vomit or stools
- Diarrhea for more than three days
- Extreme pain or severe abdominal cramping
- An oral temperature higher than 100.4 F (38 C)
- Signs or symptoms of dehydration — excessive thirst, dry mouth, little or no urination, severe weakness, dizziness, or lightheadedness
- Neurological symptoms such as blurry vision, muscle weakness and tingling in the arms
In the meantime, get someone to go to a health food store and buy some activated charcoal capsules for you. Take them as directed. They’ll bind to the bugs making you sick and help you expel them.
In addition, some people have had great success with combining apple cider vinegar (if possible, get the organic kind with the Mother) and the charcoal capsules. Here’s more information on this remedy.
I’ll work on you from here to energetically help force the toxins from your system and soothe your tender stomach.
The good news is, although you’re feeling terrible right now, you’ll make a complete recovery and be back to normal very soon.
