Popular Kitchen Remedy Puts Antibiotic To Shame

Fighting
infection with conventional antibiotics is becoming a hopeless affair.
The CDC recently warned these drugs are useless in combatting deadly
“super germs.” So what can one do? Your kitchen holds the key.
Every
day in this country, all day long, patients and doctors reach for
conventional antibiotics when opportunistic infections present
themselves. The fact that most infections are self-limiting (the body
has an immune system, we often forget), and that antibacterial
antibiotics are often administered for viral infections, against which
they are useless and even infection-promoting, is rarely if ever
acknowledged. There is also the problem that antibiotics themselves
drive the growth of antibiotic resistant subpopulations of bacteria,
effectively creating “super germs” in the process. This effect can
adversely alter the microbial substrate for our health for months,
years, and perhaps for our entire lifetime (and our progeny’s
lifetimes).
