The Best Natural Antibiotics
Submitted by

Sir Alexander Fleming discovered the antibacterial power of the
mold Penicillium notatum in 1928. Even though it was a natural
healing agent effective in destroying Staphylococcus aureus and
other noxious bacteria, the pharmaceutical industry got hold of
nature’s bounty and it became — along with multiple other Big
Pharma inventions — the nightmare of modern antibiotics, causing
as many problems for mankind as they were supposed to help.
Because of the overuse of antibiotics, super-bugs have developed
that are resistant to all but the most powerful drugs, whose
side effects are often dangerous.
In nature’s infinite wisdom, several other highly effective substances exist with antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties, all able to protect the human body safely and with deep healing powers. You don’t have to go much farther than the refrigerator or your pantry cupboard to find safe, delicious foods and herbs to eradicate the most virulent bacteria and viruses.
Garlic
Garlic has been used worldwide for thousands of years for
medicinal purposes. This wonder plant treats everything from a
simple earache to pneumonia, MRSA, Helicobacter pylori, the flu
and even the black plague. Contemporary research has confirmed
that garlic possesses numerous antioxidants that kill bacteria
and free radicals in the blood protecting the immune system and
making it stronger. Garlic’s active ingredient allicin can also
attack and destroy a variety of viruses — unlike
modern antibiotics – as well as fugal infections, such as
candida. Taking garlic supplements as a prophylactic may help to
protect against various pathogens and prevent the onset of
disease.
Echinacea
Echinacea has been used for hundreds of years to strengthen the
immune system and fight a variety of infections. Traditionally,
echinacea was used to treat open wounds, diptheria, cellulitis,
blood poisoning, syphilitic lesions and other bacterial-related
diseases. Although it’s mostly used today for fighting colds and
flu, this potent herb possesses the ability to destroy the most
virulent bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus which causes
deadly MRSA.
Colloidal Silver
The germicidal and antibacterial properties of colloidal silver
were discovered almost a century ago. Numerous clinical cases
and anecdotal evidence provides us with the knowledge of the
power of colloidal silver to kill bacteria, fungal infections
and viruses. Even though the FDA has tried to discredit the
efficacy of this important healing substance, the effects of
colloidal silver in the treatment of bacterial diseases such as
MRSA, topical wounds, sores and infections speaks for itself.
Pau D’Arco
Pau d’Arco is an herb native to South America whose active
ingredient lapachol, has been found to relieve a wide range of
infections include those initiated by bacteria, viruses and
fungus. Studies suggest that Pau d’arco may also have
cancer-fighting properties, although more research is needed.
Pau d’arco was used by the Indians of South America to
strengthen the immune system and fight life-threatening
diseases. It’s best consumed as a tea or decoction.
Manuka Honey
The most delicious and deadly agent that works to kill bacteria
is Manuka honey, which comes from Australia and New Zealand.
Researchers have discovered that Manuka honey applied topically
can kill a wide range of pathogens, including MRSA and
flesh-eating bacteria. Scientists were pleased by the fact that
the treated bacteria didn’t build up any resistance, rendering
the honey ineffective.
