Natural Antibiotics
Some foods (not herbs!) are the best antibiotics in the world
Better than any man-made antibiotics
Common misconceptions
The following misconceptions are so ingrained in people's thinking. Yet that does not make them true:
●
Germs cause disease.
● The only treatment for any type of
infection is chemical antibiotics.
●
Food has nothing to do with our health. When we get sick we have to take
medication.
● Medicinal benefits are
found only in exotic, expensive and bitter herbal
supplement imported from far away land.
But are these ideas true?
It is not
germs that cause disease, it is the body's weakness
|
It is important to remember that the mere
introduction of germs into the living organism does not ensure
their multiplication or the production of disease. The condition
of the organism itself has much influence on the result. Pasteur
has certainly made a hasty generalization in declaring that the
only condition which determines an epidemic is the greater or
less abundance of germs.

Consider the following example:
Many times two people eat the same contaminated food. One of them gets
sick, the other does not. Why? This is because the body's immunity level is
the determining factor in illness and not "the mere introduction of
germs into the body" as John Shaw Billings explained.
Illness
and immunity in eastern medicine
Below you will find a different and provocative look at illness and its
relation to the body's immunity. This explains why some people get sick
and others do not when the same germs enter their bodies.
Two opposite but
complementary forces
There are two forces in the universe. These two forces are opposite but
complementary. The force of expansion often referred to in the far east
as YIN, and the force of contraction often referred to as YANG. These
two complementary forces produce everything in this world. Think of a
beating heart. Heart beats are actually nothing more that an oscillation
between the two forces of contraction (yang) and expansion (yin). So are
our breathing lungs. Even when we walk, our movement is due to the
synchronized contraction and expansion of our varied muscles.
Some foods
propagate an infection and others stop it
Sodium is contractive YANG, and potassium is expansive YIN.
Yang elements,
being contractive, prevent and constrain bacteria from multiplying,
while yin elements, being expansive, promote and enhance bacterial
multiplication. Foods that are rich in yang minerals, kill bacteria and
stop an infection while foods that are rich in yin minerals, increase
the infection. This is a simple scientific example of eastern medicine
and how food is best medicine.
My experience with my own diet and with thousands of patients that
sought dietary consultations has shown time and time again that
foods that are rich in yang minerals are the best antibiotics in the world. Better that any
chemical antibiotics man ever invented.
With the right selection of foods many bacterial, viral and fungal infections (tuberculosis,
gonorrhea,
typhoid,
herpes,
Chlamydia,
hepatitis B, C,
Lyme disease, etc.) can be
cured easily without the use of chemical antibiotics.
It does not have to be exotic, expensive or
taste bitter
to be a natural antibiotic
Most, if not all, literature
talking about natural antibiotics list the following as some examples of natural
antibiotics:
Raw Garlic, Echinacea, Goldenseal, Oregon grape Root, Barberry Root
Bark, Wild Indigo, Eucalyptus, Bee Products, etc.
This is because it is
ingrained in people’s thinking that medicinal benefits are found only in
exotic, often expensive and often bitter herbs imported from far
away lands.
This is far
from the truth. We are talking here about the laws of nature and about
foods that are of the yang type, especially vegetables that one can find
in the grocery next door, inexpensive and tastes good.
Compare conventional
and natural antibiotics
● Many microbes are resilient. These
microbes quickly develop resistance to chemical drugs. This is not
possible with this remarkable natural antibiotics phenomenon. Foods
that are rich in yang minerals prevent microbe multiplication; a natural antibiotic.
In fact, the best in the world! Microbes that cause infections cannot
develop resistance to this remarkable natural phenomenon.
Note that
foods that are rich in yin minerals actually propagate an infection
because they are YIN and enhance microbe multiplication. Try eating
lettuce when you have diarrhea. Lettuce is a YIN vegetable and diarrhea
is a YIN illness. That is why lettuce, a YIN food, will make diarrhea, a
YIN illness, worse.
●
Most traditional treatments for
infections require expensive laboratory tests to first determine the
type of microbe causing the illness.
This is followed by other expensive
tests to determine what type of chemical drug is most effective against
the identified microbe. Sometimes, laboratory tests fail to identify the
disease-causing microbe and the illness goes untreated and the patient
is then told that his
symptoms are only psychosomatic. With this natural
antibiotic treatment, lab tests are not necessary. These foods will
naturally eliminate any and all infections whether caused by bacteria,
virus, faunae (fungus), parasite, worm or any other type of
disease-causing microbe.
● Many chemical antibiotics can usually
eliminate bacteria, fungus and parasites. But they can do nothing to
viruses. The right foods can naturally and safely eliminate all harmful
organisms including viruses. That is why many illnesses that are
considered incurable by western medicine such as
HIV AIDS,
hepatitis
A B C, herpes,
polio and many others can be completely cured with
the right selection of foods.
●
Chemical antibiotics have serious side
effects. Among them is that they kill all bacteria including healthful
intestinal flora. The selected healthy foods especially the right
vegetables eliminate only harmful microbes without damaging the
delicate balance of the intestinal flora.
●
Natural foods that eliminate infections are inexpensive and available
everywhere. Because they are harmless, they are available without a
prescription, unlike chemical antibiotics drugs.
Why has not this information been made available to the public? You ask.
These alternative treatments are not likely to be celebrated. Though they are effective, they are inexpensive, simple and intuitive, so there is no incentive for any drug company or medical establishment to sponsor or finance publicizing their effectiveness.
