One of the best websites for very complete information on cholera is:http://www.who.int/topics/cholera/en/ The World Health Organization (WHO) maintains excellent data on the status of many health conditions which are not as common in North America and northern European countries. Cholera affects the gastro-intestinal system (and immune systems) and produces severe bloody diarrhea and nausea due to the toxins caused by a particular variety of bacteria. In my opinion the best natural remedies would be prevention by supporting and strenghtening the immune system (pro/prebiotics, castor oil packs, restful sleep, proper nutrition and healthy food choices, etc.) In the naturopathic world, it is not so much the "bug" as it is the terrain. So, maintaining a good terrain can go a long way to maintaining health. Realistically, some of these types of preventative measures may not be a priority if one is simply trying to survive. After the fact, an appropriate homeopathic remedy such as Camphor, Cuprum (copper) or Veratrum may be helpful. There are many choices for homeopathic remedies, so the experience of a trained health care professional would be beneficial. http://www.countrydoc.com Dr. Karen Benton, Naturopathic Physician
