According to Wikipedia, typhoid fever, also known simply as typhoid, is a common worldwide bacterial disease transmitted by the ingestion of food or water contaminated with the faeces of an infected person, which contains the bacterium Salmonella enterica enterica, s typhi.
The bacteria that cause typhoid fever, spread through contaminated food, drink, or water. If you eat or drink something that is contaminated, the bacteria enter your body. They travel into your intestines, and then into your bloodstream, where they can get to your lymph nodes, gallbladder, liver, spleen, and other parts of your body. A few people can become carriers of S. typhi and continue to release the bacteria in their stools for years, spreading the disease. Typhoid fever is common in developing countries, but fewer than 400 cases are reported in the U.S. each year. Most cases in the U.S. are brought in from other countries where typhoid fever is common.

TREATING TYPHOID FEVER QUICKLY WITH NATURAL REMEDIES
Natural ways to treat typhoid infection and other bacterial infections are hard to find these days. Here is our list of the most effective natural remedies to treat typhoid fever and infection at home.
Caution! In case of high fever and other severe symptoms of typhoid infection, consult a medical practitioner immediately.
1. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
On the first day of typhoid or stomach bug symptoms, mix ½ teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a shot of water. If this is too unpalatable for you, then add a dash of honey to taste (natural low-heat-treated honey is best). Have this water and apple cider vinegar shot every 15 minutes for 1 hour or 2 hours if the symptoms are severe. You will need toilet a close by as the vinegar will make you urinate a lot. Continue this apple cider and vinegar shot before all meals for 5 days. It shouldn’t be necessary to do every 15 minutes again as the solution is potent and seems to really speed up killing bugs.
2. GARLIC
Peel raw garlic and suck. Eat something beforehand even a raw carrot or apple. If you don’t lacerate the garlic clove it won’t sting your mouth. Just suck it like a lolly for 20 minutes or so. Garlic is a natural antibiotic and it will suck up mucous and kill bacteria. If you dare, swallow the garlic whole at the end of the 20 minutes. If the clove is large, cut it into small pieces. Yes you will smell a little and it will feel funny in your stomach but it works. Continue with several pieces of raw garlic a day for a few days.
