If you’re anything like me, you’ll be in and out of the pharmacy for cough lozenges and medicine or constantly pandering your Doctor for a prescription of antibiotics. Now I know that antibiotics are just no good for me. In the longterm I am doing myself no favours against more serious infections that will eventually require antibiotics. Let’s face it, if my immune system has become so used to them that the tablets no longer work on me, what can I do if I become seriously ill? That’s a thought that gave me pause, and it was after a particularly nasty run of colds, flu and throat infections that I decided to think about the other changes I can make that will help to prevent myself from becoming ill. The solution I came up with was to rearm my immune system by changing my diet. When I told my Mum about my plans she straight away suggested Echinacea because that’s her favourite remedy and my Gran used to swear by it too. Keep it in the family! And why not? Echinacea has been used for centuries to treat any number of infections. Besides coughs and colds, you can also try it on open wounds, diphtheria, blood poisoning, and other illnesses that are bacteria related. You can find Echinacea in the health shop and in the pharmacy and it’s available in capsule form. Top tip – Echinacea is so effective it has even been used to rid the body of staphylococcus aureus, which causes the deadly MRSA virus. After I had expressed interest in Echinacea, my Mother then handed me a jar of Manuka honey. This stuff is great. You can apply it direct to your skin, or eat it. Applied topically to the skin it can even treat MRSA and flesh eating bacteria, and because of the organic, natural and varying nature of honey, any bacteria treated with Manuka honey will not build up a resistance. It is refreshing that honey is such a useful antidote to pharmaceutical antibiotics.

6 Potent Natural Antibiotics: No Prescription Required

What can you do to fight off the full range of coughs, colds and other infections when you have a housefull of young children, or you commute daily with hundreds of other immune depressed commuters, or yousimply come into contact with lots of people on a daily basis? If you’re anything like me, you’ll be in and outof the pharmacy for cough lozenges and medicine or constantly pandering your Doctor for a prescriptionof antibiotics.

Now I know that antibiotics are just no good for me. In the long­term I am doing myself no favours againstmore serious infections that will eventually require antibiotics. Let’s face it, if my immune system hasbecome so used to them that the tablets no longer work on me, what can I do if I become seriously ill?That’s a thought that gave me pause, and it was after a particularly nasty run of colds, flu and throatinfections that I decided to think about the other changes I can make that will help to prevent myself frombecoming ill.

The solution I came up with was to re­arm my immune system by changing my diet. When I told my Mumabout my plans she straight away suggested Echinacea because that’s her favourite remedy and myGran used to swear by it too. Keep it in the family! And why not? Echinacea has been used for centuries totreat any number of infections. Besides coughs and colds, you can also try it on open wounds, diphtheria,blood poisoning, and other illnesses that are bacteria related. You can find Echinacea in the health shopand in the pharmacy and it’s available in capsule form. Top tip – Echinacea is so effective it has evenbeen used to rid the body of staphylococcus aureus, which causes the deadly MRSA virus.

After I had expressed interest in Echinacea, my Mother then handed me a jar of Manuka honey. Thisstuff is great. You can apply it direct to your skin, or eat it. Applied topically to the skin it can even treatMRSA and flesh eating bacteria, and because of the organic, natural and varying nature of honey, anybacteria treated with Manuka honey will not build up a resistance. It is refreshing that honey is such auseful antidote to pharmaceutical antibiotics.

Honey is super special precisely because it depends on its environment. Different bees have differentaccess to a varying store of pollen according to the availability and the varieties of flowers grown in theirgeneral vicinity. If you can find local honey it will consist of pollen from the plants and flowers in your areaand this will ensure you have a natural immunity to your local environment. Honey can be used to treatskin and eye infections simply by applying the honey directly to the problem area.

Another solution to antibiotics from the store cupboard is Oregano Oil. Described by those health writersin the know as ‘the King of natural antibiotics’, Oregano Oil is extremely effective. What’s the secret? Wellthe key antimicrobial ingredient in Oregano Oil is carvacrol which is thought to kill approximately 96% of allpneumococcus bacteria and 92% of all Neisseria, as well as staphylococcus bacteria (the one that causesfood poisoning).

Some of these bacteria are pretty deadly. The Neisseria strain for example is responsible for diseasessuch as gonorrhoea or meningitis, so Oregano Oil is truly awesome as it can attack and defeat thoseinfections and yet it doesn’t touch the beneficial bacteria that your body needs. Other infections thatOregano Oil can be used for include strep throat, scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, toxic shock syndrome,cystitis, wound infections, and anorexia. Oil of oregano is both antiviral and antifungal so you need it inyour bathroom cabinet right now. Make sure that you buy a variety that has at least 70 percent carvacrolcontent if you want it to be effective.

One of my favourites however, is a supplement called Transfer Factors which truly provides the ultimatein immune system support. The National Institute of Health’s online service, Medline, has published over1,200 scientific abstracts on the immune benefits of Transfer Factors. Depending on the brand name youuse, Independent studies report an unprecedented 437% immune boost in Natural Killer cell activity withquality transfer factor supplements.

Transfer factor messenger molecules can be found within the bodies of mammals and birds and areusually extracted from cow colostrum and chicken egg yolks. Colostrum is the first liquid that a motherproduces when she gives birth. When the new born baby mammal breast feeds they do not get milk firstoff, but colostrum which contains many immune building blocks. The really good news is that transfer

Page 3: 6 Potent Natural Antibiotics: No Prescription Required

factors aren’t species specific therefore that means that humans can benefit from the super­resilientimmune system wisdom of animals.

Transfer Factors help immune cells identify threats faster and more effectively. So the next time you feelover tired, run down or feel a cold or flu coming on take a few transfer factors any time of the day or nightwith or without food and you will probably avoid coming down with the cold or flu that is ‘going around’.

Garlic is a natural antibiotic and antiviral agent that has been in use since time began. It has a particularhistory as a method for warding off plague. Garlic contains the minerals potassium and germanium, aswell as sulphur compounds that boost the immune system – specifically allicin. As garlic is very high innatural antioxidants it destroys any free radicals that come near the immune system. Obviously garlic isreadily available so make good use of it by adding it to your cooking. It’s great in soups, stews, with pastaand stir fries. You can of course eat it raw or you can steep it in a tea. You can also consider eating morein the way of chives, onions, leeks and shallots as many researchers think these have similar properties togarlic.

Finally, consider converting to green tea. Green tea is ridiculously beneficial for health because it isweighed down with antioxidants and nutrients and of course these have a powerful effect on the body. Youneed a good supply of antioxidants and nutrients because they improve brain function while at the sametime encouraging fat loss, and lowering the risk of tumors. One active ingredient in green tea isepigallocatechin gallate (otherwise known as EGCG), which is especially effective against some strains oforal bacteria so swish it around in your mouth to get the benefits.

There are numerous other natural antibiotics for you to try, so have a look also at olive leaf extract, cloves,turmeric, lemons, and Colloidal silver and say goodbye to all those annoying coughs and sneezes thatconsistently grind you down.
