Natural Antibiotics: More Effective than Pharmaceutical Antibiotics

Antibiotics were introduced about two decades ago to fight bacteria. It turned out that the bacteria evolved during the same period and have become resistant to most of the antibiotics. It means that in some cases, more than double the amount of antibiotics is needed to fight a bacterial infection. Natural Antibiotics, found in herbal plants and our bodies, are the most effective bacterial fighters. We disturbed the bacterial balance through the overuse of the antibiotics to such an extend that many bacterial infections can’t be treated anymore. We need to make use of Natural Antibiotics to win the war against bacteria.

Skin

The human skin produces bacterial fighting proteins. We disturb the balance of microorganisms on the skin through the use of antibiotic creams. It affects the body’s ability to fight the bacteria and can even lead to more skin infections. In most cases, you only need to wash the wound with an anti-bacterial soap. There are times that the body’s immune system is not strong enough and an oral antibiotic is then needed to assist the body.

Immune System

The human body has the most Natural Antibiotics. We have live bacteria in our intestines to help with digestion and keep the body healthy. These bacteria also fight invading bacteria, but they are destroyed when we take antibiotics. We then have to take other products to restore the balance. We should therefore avoid the use of antibiotics and build our immune system instead. We can make use of supplements such as Vitamin C, Echinacea and Zinc to boost the immune system.
