GUIDE TO NATURAL ANTIBIOTICS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Chaitow discusses the current antibiotic crisis in terms of the damage done to friendly bacteria, the damage to our immune systems and the ecological damage caused by the overprescription of antibiotics. Antibiotic resistant bacteria (Superbugs) are proliferating, and it is time to consider alternative ways of fighting infection. These include herbs like Echinacea, vitamins and minerals, yoghurt and friendly bacteria, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, fasting, other ways of immune enhancement, lifestyle factors, detoxification and various mind-body factors. Stressors that have a damaging effect on friendly intestinal bacteria include medicines, drugs, stress, a high fat and high sugar diet, smoking, excess alcohol, environmental pollutants, radiation (including X-rays) and immune deficiencies. The book tells you what to do if you have to take antibiotics - this includes supplementing with the friendly bacteria like Bifidobacterium Bifidum, Lactobacillus Longum, Bifidobacterium Longum, Lactobacillus Bulgaricus and Streptococcus Thermophilus. This is a practical and helpful guide to all who are concerned about maintaining optimal health. The book concludes with 12 pages of references and a thorough index.
A jewel in a haystack -- a rare and precious find!

I've read only the first few chapters, but so far it's the best I've seen in alternative treatments for antibiotics. A must read for anyone who wants to get away from conventional medicine, has allergies or negative reactions to the current treatments like I have, or just wants to try something different.
