Natural alternative Antibiotics

Some foods (not herbs!) are the best antibiotics in the world

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 bacterial 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 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.

John Shaw Billings

Consider the following example:

Many times two people eat 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 above.

Below you will find a different and provocative look at illness and its relation to the body's immunity. It explains why some people get sick and others do not when the same germs enter their bodies.

Two opposite but complementary forces

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.

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.

● 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.

These alternative treatments are not likely to be celebrated. Though they are effective, they are inexpensive, 100% safe, simple and intuitive, so there is no incentive for any drug company or medical establishment to sponsor or finance publicizing their effectiveness.
