Infekcije izazvane Eserihijom koli

Postoji nekoliko vrsta infekcija koje mogu biti izazvane Eserihija koli /Escherichia coli/  bakterijom, ali najcesce su urinarne infekcije i infekcije probavnog trakta, pa cemo o tim infekcijama malo vise pisati.

Infekcije mokracnih puteva izazvane Eserihijom koli

Uropatogenicna Eserihija coli (UPEC) je uzrocnik oko devedeset posto svih urinarnih infekcija. Postoji nekoliko nacina na koje ova bakterija dospijeva u ljudski urinarni trakt. Uglavnom infekcija dolazi iz fekalija tj. naseg izmeta. Zenska populacija  ima kraci ureter nego muska i zbog toga ova bakterija se mnogo brze i lakse siri kod zena nego kod muskaraca. Iz naseg licnog iskustva, pacijenti su zene i djevojcice u vise of 90% slucajeva.

Jedan od uzrocnika  infekcija kod beba djevojcica uglavnom je neredovno mjenjanje pelena i pogresan nacin brisanja, ili pranja djecije guze. Djete uvijek treba prati i brisati od stomaka prema ledjima, a nikad obrnuto. Vazno je da se sprijeci dodir stolice sa ureterom i vaginom.
Uzrok moze biti i diranje intimnih dijelova tijela prljavim rukama. Kod odraslih Eserihija coli se moze prenijeti i seksualnim putem pogotovo ako se upraznjava analni seks.
U rijetkim slucajevima muskarac moze da ima Eserihiju u prostati i putem sperme moze da je prenese partnerki.  (napomena: Postoje tvrdnje da urinarne infekcije nisu prenosive i da nije moguce prenjeti infekciju od jednog partnera drugome putem seksualnog odnosa. Nasa iskustva govore suprotno.)

Moderna medicina ima djelimican uspijeh u lijecenju urinarnih infekcija izazvanih Eserihija coli bakterijom. Zbog otpornosti na okolinu i lijekove i njene sposobnosti da mutira, doktori prepisuju sve jace antibiotike koji uglavnom uniste i dobre bakterije, a kod zena i vaginalnu floru, gdje se zbog toga javlja izvanredna podloga za razvoj nove infekcije.

Poznati su mi slucajevi bezuspjesnih pokusaja lijecenja Eserihije antibioticima cak preko 5 godina. Nije mali broj pacijenata koji se bore sa ovom bakterijom dvije, ili vise godina.

Doktor Enes Hasanagic iz Sarajeva posvetio je vecinu svog naucnog rada izucavajuci Eserihiju i trazeci neantibiotske prirodne tretmane protiv infekcija ovom bakterijom.  Njegove “E-Kapi” i cajevi pomogle su stotinama pacijenata koji su bezuzspjesno pokusavali da izlijece urinarne infekcije antibioticima.

.

Infekcije probavnog trakta izazvane Eserihijom koli:

Ovakva vrsta infekcije dobija se vecinom konzumiranjem pokvarene hrane, inficiranog povrca i voca, zagadjenog i nedovoljno pecenog ili kuvanog mesa, neprokuvanog mlijeka ili vode zagadjene fekalijama.

Najpoznatija vrsta Eserihije O157:H7 moze da izazove takozvani HUS i dovede cak i do smrti.

Poznat je, ne tako davni slucaj, zagadjenja polja spinata u Americi. 2006 godine Eserihija O157:H7 dovela je do prave epidemije i uzrokovala povlacenje spinata sa trzista, kako u Americi, tako i u Kanadi. Ova vrsta Eserihija bakterije moze da bude kobna za starije, djecu, ili osobe sa vec narusenim imunitetom organizma. Zdrave odrasle osobe mogu da prodju bez vecih posljedica koje se manifestuju samo proljevom. Antibiotici ne pomazu kod ove vrste infekcije, vec mogu da  izazovu jos vece i gore posljedice.

Za tretiranje ove vrste infekcije u nekim zemljama se testira i primjenjuje takozvana “Phage Terapija” koja je za sada odobrena samo u bivsoj SSSR republici Gruziji, i Poljskoj (za Poljsku ovaj podatak nije utvrdjen)

Neke druge. rijedje infekcije izazvane Eserihijom koli

Poznati su slucajevi meningitisa izazvanog Eserihijom koli. U rijetkim slucajevima Eserihija moze da izazove i druge bolseti kao sto su upala pluca i neka septicka oboljenja. Ranije je vec pomenuto da prostata kod muskaraca moze biti inficirana ovom bakterijom.

The essence of Healing

Aromatherapy is the practice of applying unstable plant oils like the so called “essential oils”, for psychosomatic and corporeal comfort.

Essential oils, the unadulterated extract of a plant, have been discovered to contribute to both psychosomatic and bodily profits when used properly and carefully. There are commonly over 90 different variations of essential oils. Details for these oils can be found mainly in Internet. Frequently, aromatherapy is consisted of Hydrosols, CO2s and Absolutes. The famous term “essential oils” is used as a blanket to indicate the absolutes and CO2s, although these 3 substances are distilled in completely different ways.

Additionally to the essential oils, aromatherapy stimulates the usage of other modern natural components like the liquid wax of jojoba, the hydrosols; some vegetable oils (cold pressed), many herbs, sea salts, milk powders, clays and muds, and exfoliant sugars.

Products that are consisted of man-made elements are applied in holistic aromatherapy. It is significant to remark that fragrance oils also acknowledged as perfume oils (although habitually listed as “fragrance” on the component tag), are not the identical to the essential oils. The difference is in their qualities. Essential oils provide many therapeutic profits, while the man-made perfume and fragrance oils do not have such qualities, because they contain chemicals.

The healing abilities of aromatherapy were famous to the people even since the time of the ancient civilizations. Then, they didn’t call it “aromatherapy”, but the methods were similar to those we know today. There are many cases in which the practice of this method healed many people, scars, unwanted skin diseases and many others.

Today, the word “aromatherapy” can be rarely met in a product description. However, in the common case, appropriate products for aromatherapy are marked in a specific way. People always have had a great interest in the usage of aromatherapy because of its health and well-being benefits.

History of Aromatherapy

In short, aromatherapy is the use of unstable plant oils, together with essential oils, for mental and bodily health. Although the term aromatherapy was not used until the 20th Century, the fundamentals of aromatherapy trace back their history thousands of years ago. The usage of essential oils itself, traces back its history with around one thousand years.

The Chinese may have been one of the earliest civilizations to apply sweet-smelling vegetation to improve their health. These practices included burning incense to be of assistance in creating the desired harmony and stability.

Later, the Egyptians discovered an elementary cleansing piece of equipment, which made the raw extraction of cedar wood oil possible. Moreover, it’s considered by a number of people that Persia and India have maybe also invented crude refinement equipment, but almost no data remained till today.

Oils of clove, cinnamon, cedar wood, myrrh and nutmeg were used by the Egyptians to mummify the dead. When a burial place had been unbolt in the early years of the 20th century, traces of the aromatic plants were exposed with undamaged parts of the corpse. The smell, although feeble, was still sensible. Even though the cedar wood, used by the Egyptians was extracted by a crude refinement procedure, the other oils the Egyptians used were mainly infused oils.

The Egyptians applied infused oils and herbal medication for spiritual, therapeutic, aromatic and makeup usage. It is considered that the Egyptians created the word “perfume”, from “per fumum”, which means “through the smoke” in Latin. During that time, the men of Egypt used fragrance as frequently as the women did. An attention-grabbing technique that the men applied to perfume themselves was to put a decent cone of aromas on their skulls. Then it slowly melted and covered them with pleasant perfumes.

The Greeks erudite an immense knowledge from the Egyptians, but the Greek folklore in fact takes the gift and information of aromatherapy from the legends about their gods. The Greeks in addition, acknowledged the therapeutic and sweet-smelling benefits of the plants. For instance Hippocrates, usually considered as the “father of medicine” accomplished fumigations for both fragrant and therapeutic profits.

A Greek perfume- maker, named Megallus invented a perfume called”megaleion”. The ingredients of this Megaleion admitted myrrh in a base of fatty-oil and were used for quite a few purposes- its fragrance, anti- excitatory assets on the surface of the skin and also for healing many aches and diseases.

Consequently, the Romans built upon the information gathered from the Egyptians and Greeks. There was a book named “De Materia Medica”, written by Discorides. It illustrated the qualities of around 500 plants. It is also known that Discorides studied the refinement processes of the plants used in aromatherapy (although then they didn’t call it aromatherapy). However, during that period, the refinement process focused on extracting sweet-smelling floral waters. The essential oils weren’t used in that period.

However, a main event for the refining of essential oils came with the development of a corkscrew cooling cylinder in the 11th century. Avicenna, who was a Persian scientist, discovered a corkscrew tube which made possible for the plant to vapor and steam for more effective cooling down than prior distillers, which used a straight cooling cylinder. The contribution of Avicenna advantages in acquiring better focus on essential oils and their profits.

During the 12th century, Hildegard (an Abbess of Germany) developed and purified lavender for its therapeutic qualities. During the 13th century, was established the pharmaceutical manufacturing. This scientific discovery gave confidence to the development of essential oils extraction.

Within the 14th century, literary millions of people died, because of the Black Death hit. Aromatherapy was applied comprehensively to assist fighting this awful destroyer. It is even considered that some perfumers, who avoided the plague, succeeded because of their steady contact with the natural fragrances.

In the 15th century, more plants were refined to produce essential oils together with frankincense, rose, juniper, rosemary and sage. An enlargement in the quantity of books on aromatic plants and their possessions also begins later on in the century. Paracelcus, an alchemist, therapeutic doctor of medicine and radical philosopher is accredited with inventing the word Essence and his scientific studies fundamentally challenged the character of alchemy and he centered upon using vegetation as remedy.

Within the 16th century, one could start obtaining oils at an “apothecary,” and lots of more essential oils were brought in. In the 16th and 17th centuries, aromatherapy was accepted and being considered as a form of art, and it was to a greater extent defined clearly as its own sphere.

Through the period of the 19th century, perfumery still proceeded to be a successful manufacturing. Women would have their jewel maker create them an extraordinary bottle to hold their precious aroma. The 19th century also was significant technically as major ingredients of essential oils became inaccessible.

Throughout the 20th century, the awareness of sorting out the components of essential oils was used to produce artificial substances and drugs. It had been considered that by sorting out the main elements and then using the components separately or in artificial variety, would be advantageous in therapeutic and economical attitude. These innovations assisted leading to the “contemporary medicine” and artificial aromas. This in reality destabilized the usage of essential oils for therapeutic and sweet-smelling advantages.

Through the time of the beginning of the 20th century, a French scientist, named René-Maurice Gattefossé became interested in the putting into practice the aromatherapy for its medicinal usage. Up to that time, he emphasized on the fragrant usage of essential oils and aromatherapy, but his attention in their therapeutic usage developed after a mishap finely tuned his interest. In the process of working, he burned his limb quite badly. By impulse, he plunged his burned upper limb into the nearest fluid that appeared to be a huge container of lavender essential oil. The burn he underwent was healed rapidly and didn’t leave any scars.

Since the late 20th century and on into the 21st century, there is an increasing rebirth to make the most of more the natural products admitting aromatherapy with essential oils for healing, makeup and perfuming advantages.
