1. Natural antibiotics to the rescue
Germs are everywhere. While some exposure is necessary to build up our immune resistance, it is
important to avoid dangerous bacteria that could cause potentially fatal diseases.
Antibiotics as we know them originated in 1928 when Sir Alexander Fleming discovered their power
in the mold of Penicillium notatum. Capitalism got in on the act by way of pharmaceutical companies
harnessing this and mass producing antibiotics. The challenge developed where these drugs were
used too much, and now they are unable to deal effectively with the bacterial strains that are
around today.

2. Nature provides a number of
natural options to keep bacteria at
bay
In fact, most of us have many of the ingredients in our kitchens that will combat bacteria naturally.
Another bonus is that many of these ingredients are tasty, so there is no convincing needed to use
them to keep healthy.
• Manuka honey is delicious and has an extremely powerful effect on bacteria
This food hails from our Australian and New Zealand friends. The honey is devastating against flesh-
eating bacteria and other pathogens. Even better news is that bacteria cannot build up a resistance
against the honey as is the case with many conventional drugs.
• In South America, an herb called Pau D'Arco is found, and it contains the active ingredient,
lapachol. Lapachol is effective in fighting against fungi, viruses and bacteria. Early research
is suggesting that this herb contains cancer-fighting properties. The Indians of this region
used the herb to strengthen their immune systems and treat life-threatening diseases. Most
people drink this as a tea.
• Colloidal silver has incredible antibacterial properties that have been known to man for close
to a century. Clinical studies have proven the efficacy of this mineral in combating viruses,
fungi and bacteria. This is in spite of the FDA's attempts to discredit the effectiveness of
colloidal silver. Too many people have achieved incredible results with regards to
treating infections, sores, wounds and various bacterial diseases such as MRSA.
• Perhaps the most tasty of all natural remedies is our friend, garlic. This herb is used to add
flavor to many dishes, and garlic is also a powerful antibiotic. It has been used
successfully for literally thousands of years to deal effectively with black plague, flu,
Helicobactor pylori, MRSA, pneumonia and even earache. Current research has also shown
that garlic contains powerful antioxidants, which destroy free radicals and bacteria in the
blood, thereby strengthening and protecting the immune system. Use it in food to protect
yourself from many ailments, including fungal infections such as candida.
Staying healthy is easy with these powerful natural foods.
