NaturalNews) Eventually antibiotics are going to be seen as one of the worst

things to ever come out of pharmaceutical science because in the end, they have

made us only weaker in the face of ever increasingly strong super bugs that are

resistant to all the antibiotics doctors have at their disposal. When we look at

how deep the rabbit hole goes with antibiotics, we will get sick in our souls.

Antibiotics have fulfilled their anti–biotic anti-life role leaving a long trail

of death and suffering in the wake of their use.

 

Diseases include measles, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, pneumonia,

influenza, whooping cough, diphtheria and polio. All were in decline for several

decades before the introduction of antibiotics or vaccines - Dr. Lawrence

Wilson.

 

Antibiotics do not kill yeast. Many women find after taking antibiotics, they

get vaginal yeast infections (because their normal bacterial balance has been

lost). Antibiotics bring on fungal and yeast infections thus will eventually be

seen as a major cause of cancer since more and more oncologists are seeing yeast

and fungal infections as an integral part of cancer and its cause. With upwards

of 40 percent of all cancers thought to be involved with and caused by

infections, the subject of antibiotics and the need for something safer, more

effective and life serving is imperative.

 

It may be some time before we really enter the predicted " post antibiotic era "

in which common infections are frequently untreatable - Dr. Marc Lipsitch et al.

(Harvard School of Public Health).

 

Antibiotics kill all bacteria in the body, including the ones we need.

 

An antibiotic is a substance produced by certain bacteria or fungi that kills

other cells or interferes with their growth. In nature, these substances help

some microbes survive by limiting the multiplication of other microbes that

share the same environment. Antibiotics that attack pathogenic (disease-causing)

microbes without severely harming normal body cells are useful as drugs but

there does not seem to be any from the pharmaceutical companies that do not do

damage. Dr. Lisa Landymore-Lin wrote all about this in her book Poisonous

Prescriptions asking, 'Do Antibiotics Cause Asthma and Diabetes?' We are now

beginning to question the role of antibiotics as a cause of cancer since they do

lead to pathogen overgrowth especially in the area of yeast and fungi. Chris

Woollams writes, " It is estimated that 70 per cent of the British population

have a yeast infection. The primary cause of this is our love of antibiotics.

Swollen glands? Take antibiotics. Tonsillitis? Take

antibiotics. "

 

Two studies in the recent past have shown an association between the use of

antibiotics with higher incidence of breast cancer.

 

In one study the increased risk was small, and the importance of the link has

been played down by UK breast-cancer experts, but the findings add weight to

recent studies that have found links between antibiotics and other diseases. In

the past few years, heavy antibiotic use has been linked to the inflammatory

bowel disorder, Crohn's disease, and to children developing allergies such as

Hay fever and asthma. And as we shall see below, antibiotics play a hidden role

in autism and other neurological diseases.

 

The Journal of the American Medical Association has reported a study on 10,000

women in which women who took over 500 days of antibiotics in a 17 year period

(dubbed 25 plus doses) had twice the risk of breast cancer as those that took

none at all. Even women taking just one had a statistical risk increase to 1.5

times.

 

The consequences of resistance in some bacteria can be measured as increases in

the term and magnitude of morbidity, higher rates of mortality, and greater

costs of hospitalization for patients infected with resistant bacteria - Dr.

Marc Lipsitch et al.

 

Broad-spectrum antibiotics are undiscriminating: in addition to " bad bacteria, "

they also kill healthy bacteria which normally live in the intestines and the

vagina, and which are a necessary part of the indigenous flora to keep the body

healthy. When the " good " bacteria are killed with antibiotics, then yeast, which

is part of the normal flora of the body, can begin to overgrow because the

antibiotics have altered the body's healthy terrain (internal ecological

balance) allowing the yeast to hyperproliferate and cause many far-reaching,

toxic symptoms.

 

But modern medicine so far continues to believe that antibiotics have played an

important role in staving off bacterial infections since Alexander Fleming first

discovered them in 1927. Many doctors are finally beginning to see that the

effectiveness of these so-called miracle drugs has waned as some of the very

bacteria they are meant to control have been mutating into new forms that don't

respond to treatment. Many medical experts blame this phenomenon on both the

misuse and overuse of antibiotics in recent years in both human medicine and in

agriculture.

 

According to several studies, obstetricians and gynecologists write 2,645,000

antibiotic prescriptions every week. Internists prescribe 1,416,000 per week.

This works out to 211,172,000 prescriptions annually in the United States, just

for these two specialties. Pediatricians prescribe over $500 million worth of

antibiotics annually just for one condition, ear infections. Yet topical

povidone iodine (PVP-I) is as effective as topical ciprofloxacin, with a

superior advantage of having no in vitro drug resistance and the added benefit

of reduced cost of treatment.

 

According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical

Association, taking properly prescribed medical drugs was listed as the third

leading cause of death in the U.S. Antibiotics

were listed in this category because antibiotics can be deadly.

 

A 17-year-old St Margaret's College student in New Zealand has exposed multiple

antibiotic-resistant bugs in fresh chicken sold in supermarkets? Jane Millar's

discovery of a range of resistant bacteria in chickens that could compromise

antibiotic treatment in humans is an important finding that the bacteria have

developed resistance to antibiotics not used in the poultry industry but

important for treating serious infections in humans.

 

We can create resistance to medically important antibiotics by using antibiotics

that are presumably safe in agriculture - Jane Millar.

 

Jane bought six fresh chickens - free-range, barn-raised and organic – from a

supermarket. She took samples from each bird and grew bug colonies, which she

used to test different antibiotics. Apramycin is an antibiotic used sparingly by

the New Zealand poultry industry to treat infections. The bacteria of two

chickens tested resistant to apramycin. They also proved resistant to another

two antibiotics from the same family - gentamicin and tobramycin - used for

serious human infections. Gentamicin is not used by the poultry industry;

tobramycin is restricted to human use only.

 

A recent risk assessment study commissioned by the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) has estimated that about 8,000-10,000 persons in the U.S.

each year acquire fluoroquinolone-resistant Campylobacter infections from

chicken and attempt to treat those infections with a fluoroquinolone.

 

Every day, new strains of bacteria, fungi, and other pathogenic microorganisms

are becoming resistant to the antibiotics that once dispatched them with extreme

prejudice.

 

" We know that antimicrobial resistance will follow antimicrobial use as sure as

night follows day, " said Dr. John A. Jernigan, deputy chief of prevention and

response from the Center of Disease Control. " It's just a biological

phenomenon. " It turns out that the indiscriminate killing of harmless microbes

damages the body in complex ways we are only beginning to understand. Powerful

antibiotics introduced into the complex environment in our intestines cause

mayhem, much like a series of bombs tossed into a market square. Antibiotic

resistance is a widespread problem, and one that the U.S. Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention calls " one of the world's most pressing public health

problems. "

 

One of the deadliest germs is a staph bacteria called M.R.S.A., short for

methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which lives harmlessly on the skin

but causes havoc when it enters the body. Patients who do survive M.R.S.A. often

spend months in the hospital and endure several operations to cut out infected

tissue. Hospitalizations associated with a drug-resistant form of a

Staphylococcus bacterium doubled over six years in the U.S. to nearly 280,000

cases in 2005. The death toll rose from 4,700 in 1999 to about 6,600 in 2005. It

estimated that 94,000 Americans suffered invasive MRSA infections in 2005 and

that about 19,000 died.

 

One out of every 20 patients contracts an infection during a hospital stay in

the US. Hospital infections kill an estimated 103,000 people in the United

States a year, as many as AIDS, breast cancer and auto accidents combined. The

vast majority of lethal cases occur in hospitals and nursing homes, where open

wounds and punctures provide the opportunistic staph a ready path to the

bloodstream and organs. The dangers of infection are worsening as many hospital

infections can no longer be cured with common antibiotics.

 

More than half the time, doctors and other caregivers break the most fundamental

rule of hygiene by

failing to clean their hands before treating a patient.

 

" Recently there has been an alarming epidemic caused by community-associated

(CA)-MRSA strains, which can cause severe infections that can result in

necrotizing fasciitis or even death in otherwise healthy adults outside of

healthcare settings, " is the word coming from the National Institute of Allergy

and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) research team, headed by Dr. Michael Otto.

 

Necrotizing fasciitis is the so-called flesh-eating disease that can destroy

healthy tissue and even kill patients. The team found that some strains on MRSA

secrete a compound called phenol-soluble modulin or PSM. It attracts immune

system cells called neutrophils, the researchers found, and then blows them up

in a process called lysis. Neutrophils are key immune cells involved in clearing

bacterial infections, so destroying them would allow the bacteria to thrive

almost unmolested.

" In the United States, CA-MRSA is now the cause of the majority of infections

that result in trips to the emergency room. It is unclear what makes CA-MRSA

strains more successful in causing human disease compared with their

hospital-associated counterparts, " they add.

 

When the peaceful activities of a normal microbial population are disrupted,

malevolent bacteria may take full advantage of the opportunity to strike. The

intestinal infection C. difficile colitis, now rampaging through hospitals

around the world, is one of the worst such complication of antibiotic use.

 

Clostridium difficile was first recognized as a hospital microbe in 1978. By

1996, it had increased to 31 cases per 100,000 people discharged from U.S.

hospitals. In 2003, the most recent year for complete statistics, prevalence had

risen to 61 per 100,000. C. diff is part of the natural flora, or bacteria, in

the colon. " We're seeing all of the warning signs that this is the next MRSA, "

said former New York Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey, founder of the Committee to

Reduce Infection Deaths, a Manhattan-based nonprofit. " It spreads like wildfire

in hospitals. "

 

Clostridium difficile is a spore-forming toxin-producing bacterium that is

overtaking peoples' large intestines from which it mounts an attack on the

bloodstream. Like MRSA, Clostridium difficile has become multi-drug-resistant.

Although once a bacterium that mostly affected elderly, hospitalized patients, a

bolder strain is crippling the robust. In emergency efforts to save some

patients' lives surgeons remove the entire large intestine to prevent

overwhelming infection.

 

One case had been treated by a dermatologist for an ingrown hair on his back and

prescribed an antibiotic. He took only a few pills, but quickly became ill.

Based on what his doctors told him, the short course of antibiotics proved

sufficient to destroy virtually all the natural bacteria in his intestine -

except C. diff, which was freed to ravage his colon.

 

Frequently, stethoscopes, blood-pressure monitors and other equipment are

contaminated with live bacteria. Yet doctors and nurses almost never clean the

stethoscope before listening to a patient's chest.

 

" It strikes precisely those hospitals which are more 'high-tech', and handle

more serious illnesses. Applying more disinfectant is not the answer; some

strains of germs have actually been found thriving in bottles of hospital

disinfectant! The more antibacterial chemical 'weapons' are being used, the more

bacteria are becoming resistant to them, " writes Dr. Carl Wieland.

 

Health-care officials are increasingly concerned about emerging new forms of

drug-resistant Tuberculosis (TB). According to the WHO, outbreaks of

drug-resistant tuberculosis are showing up all over the world and threaten to

touch off a worldwide epidemic of virtually incurable tuberculosis. An October

1997 survey by the WHO, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and

the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease estimates that 50

million people are infected with a strain of TB that is drug-resistant. Many of

those are said to carry multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis, incurable by two or

more of the standard drugs.

 

New DNA technology has found hundreds of previously unrecognized species in the

traditional stomping grounds of the mouth and intestine, and traces of bacteria

even in tissues previously thought to be sterile.

 

Lessons from Autism

 

Medical scientists at Arizona State University tell us that antibiotic use is

known to almost completely inhibit excretion of mercury in rats due to

alteration of gut flora. Thus, higher use of oral antibiotics in the children

with autism may have reduced their ability to excrete mercury. Higher usage of

oral antibiotics in infancy may also partially explain the high incidence of

chronic gastrointestinal problems in individuals with autism.

 

Many physicians are unaware of lasting adverse effects caused by routinely

prescribed medications such as antibiotics. Antibiotic therapy for minor colds

and runny noses is a common practice. People routinely receive multiple courses

of broad-spectrum antibiotics throughout life or are injected with long-acting

corticosteroid medicine for joint or muscle pain. Once established, sub-clinical

colonization with yeast in the body may persist unrecognized for many years.

Antibiotics, such as tetracycline, can greatly increase yeast in the colon after

only a few days.

 

The extensive use of antibiotics will make the condition of Candida much worse

because it reduces heavy metal excretion, which is a food source for the yeast

like organism and also killing the beneficial bacteria at the same time.

 

Normally, candida albicans lives peacefully in our intestines and elsewhere, in

harmony with other flora that keep the yeast in check. Take an antibiotic and

all this changes. By suppressing the normal flora, candida takes over and

problems begin. In its mild form, the result is diarrhea or a yeast infection.

Dr. Elmer Cranton says that, " Yeast overgrowth is partly iatrogenic (caused by

the medical profession) and can be caused by antibiotics and cortisone

medications. A diet high in sugar also promotes overgrowth of yeast. A highly

refined diet common in industrialized nations not only promotes growth of yeast,

but is also deficient in many of the essential vitamins and minerals needed by

the immune system. Chemical colorings, flavorings, preservatives, stabilizers,

emulsifiers, etc., add more

stress on the immune system. "

 

Children with autism had significantly (2.1-fold) higher levels of mercury in

their baby teeth but similar levels of lead and similar levels of zinc. Children

with autism also had significantly higher usage of oral antibiotics during their

first 12 to 36 months of life. Reporting in the July 11, 2007 issue of the

Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers say the use of

antibiotics as prevention boosts risks for drug resistance while doing nothing

to shield kids from future urinary tract infections (UTIs). Giving antibiotics

to prevent recurrent urinary tract infections in small children not only will

not help but will hurt these children. Prior use of antibiotics to prevent

infection did boost the likelihood of developing a drug-resistant infection by

nearly 7.5 times. Indeed, 61 percent of recurrent urinary tract infections were

caused by a pathogen with antibiotic resistance, the researchers pointed out.

 

In a 2005 study, the antibiotic Augmentin TM has been implicated in the

formation of autism. The study strongly suggests the possibility of ammonia

poisoning as a result of young children taking Augmentin. Augmentin has been

given to children since the late 1980's for bacterial infections.

 

Many physicians seem to be unaware that birth control pills comprised of the

hormones estrogen and progesterone can also make the body more susceptible to

fungal infections. If antibiotics are prescribed, it acts as a double whammy to

ensuring a fungal infection will take hold by diminishing the protective

bacteria in the intestines. Many pregnant women seek medical treatment for minor

problems and are indiscriminately given antibiotics and this begins a long

decline into problems that are complicated at each turn by OBGYN doctors at

birth and by pediatricians who just love to poison children with the toxic

chemicals found in vaccines. In many places in the world they still give mercury

shots at birth.

 

Microforms poison us with their waste products.

 

The waste products are acetylaldehyde, uric acid, alloxin, alcohols, lactic

acid, etc.

 

Antibiotics may be to blame for hundreds of children developing autism after

having the controversial MMR jab. More than two-thirds of youngsters with the

condition received four or more antibiotics in their first year, a British

survey has revealed. It is thought the drugs weakened their immune systems,

leaving them unable to withstand the impact of the triple jab. Allopathic

medicine has been stubborn and slow to look at its abusive use of antibiotics.

It's the same with vaccines, the holy grail of medicine. But with

last-line-of-defence antibiotics failing on increasingly drug-resistant

superbugs and young children's systems being destroyed by them you would think

they would wake up and find some alternatives.

 

Antibiotics are mostly derived from fungi and are therefore classified as

mycotoxins. Mycotoxins Are Poisons.

 

Iodine - a Pillar Against Infections

 

Iodine offers a serious and potent replacement for much of the antibiotics that

are literally destroying people's lives and can be used safely with children.

Parents, who chose not to dose their kids with dangerous vaccines will be glad

to know that iodine can be very effective against a host of viral infections

that medical officials insist threaten children.

 

Though it kills 90 percent of bacteria on the skin within 90 seconds, its use as

an antibiotic has been ignored. Iodine exhibits activity against bacteria,

molds, yeasts, protozoa, and many viruses; indeed, of all antiseptic

preparations suitable for direct use on humans and animals and upon tissues,

only iodine is capable of killing all classes of pathogens: gram-positive and

gram-negative bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, yeasts, viruses and protozoa. Most

bacteria are killed within 15 to 30 seconds of contact.

 

Iodine is by far the best antibiotic, antiviral and antiseptic of all time - Dr.

David Derry

 

Dr. Derry says that iodine is effective " for standard pathogens such as

Staphylococcus, but also iodine has the broadest range of action, fewest side

effects and no development of bacterial resistance. " There is a world of

difference between using an antibiotic – anti-life substance – and an

antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal substance like iodine, which is life

serving because it is a basic and most necessary nutritional substance.

 

Iodine kills single celled organisms by combining with the amino acids tyrosine

or histidine when they are exposed to the extra-cellular environment. All single

cells showing tyrosine on their outer cell membranes are killed instantly by a

simple chemical reaction with iodine that denatures proteins. Nature and

evolution have given us an important mechanism to control pathogenic life forms

and we should use it and trust it to protect us in ways that antibiotics can't.

 

" My husband Ron had a small infection at the base of the nail. This very quickly

turned nasty and our doctor agreed it looked like gout. Three weeks later Ron

heard back from his Doctor who was in a mad panic saying Ron had septicemia. On

seeing the surgeon that same day the surgeon wanted to go in and cut the finger

open end for end and look at the finger and that she would probably have to take

it off anyway. Finally the Nascent Iodine we ordered arrived (my husband was

refusing to take antibiotics) He started on quite a hefty dose of 15 drops while

continuing to apply magnesium chloride transdermally. "

 

" Two days after starting the iodine there was feeling starting to regenerate and

pain again in the finger and Ron thought it looked less discolored. Then the

following day the swelling had started to go down and the normal healthy

pinkness was returning at the base of the finger. Over a period of days it has

progressively improved with no other treatment than the iodine and magnesium

chloride. We also then made a poultice with a mixture of comfrey, honey and

garlic for a few days, then the Nascent Iodine dripped into a goldenseal

ointment. "

 

Magnesium chloride is the only form of magnesium known to have anti-infectious

properties. When it comes to fighting infections, iodine and magnesium chloride

are a dynamic duo that should not be overlooked by allopathic or naturopathic

physicians or by anyone else. I talked a few months ago to a missionary in

Africa who was using iodine (in the atomic or detoxified form) to successfully

treat malaria. My own children have recently had bad coughs and it is iodine,

not dangerous over-the-counter cough medicines I reach for.

 

The feeling of security for a parent comes from administering substances like

iodine (Nascent and other forms) and magnesium chloride (natural forms) to their

children. Yes in dire emergency we would still use an antibiotic when fever is

high and all else has failed but until that kind of critical point, iodine,

backed up by magnesium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and even clay, is our main

line of defense against a full range of pathogens.

 

Determining what is an appropriate use of an antibiotic is a judgment call in

which cultural, social, psychological, and economic factors play at least as

great a role as clinical and epidemiological considerations - Dr. Marc Lipsitch

et al.

 

The way to combat antibiotic resistance is not bigger, better, stronger

antibiotics but, rather, no antibiotics at all. Instead, other molecular weapons

are available with the ability to disable bad germs without bothering good ones.

Iodine is the ideal broad spectrum antibiotic that is not an antibiotic - it is

not against life. Not against human life that is but you can hear the little

pathogens screaming as high enough levels of iodine fan out through the system.

Meaning all the viruses, bacteria, yeasts and molds that are threatening us are

threatened with instant death when iodine is used orally to fight infection.

It's hard to make a mistake with iodine but with pharmaceutical antibiotics we

are playing at the crap table hoping our choice of which one to use works

against the pathogen that is actually threatening a person.

 

Infection depresses levels of vitamins B6 and C.

 

" The right dose of Vitamin C will stop every infection in its tracks without

needing to use antibiotics " - Dr. Gary Gordon.

 

Another reason to avoid antibiotics, except in the most dire emergencies, is

that they interfere with the absorption of many vitamins and minerals, leading

to their deficiencies. Deficiencies in these nutrients can set the stage for

increased susceptibility to more infections.

 

Following is a list of the Drug/Substance and the Nutrients which are depleted

by that substance:

 

* Antibiotics - (Nutrients Depleted) Vitamin A, B-12, C, E, K, Biotin, Calcium,

Iron, Magnesium, Potassium

 

* Chelators - Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Zinc

 

* Anticonvulsants - Vitamin B-2, B-12, C, F, K, Folic Acid, Calcium, Magnesium

 

* Antidiabetics (Oral) - Vitamin B-2, B-12, C, D, Folic Acid

 

* Antihistamines - Vitamin C

 

* Aspirin - Calcium, Folic Acid, Iron, Potassium, C, B Complex

 

" When I was finally discharged from hospital, I still had a strain of supergerm

colonizing my body. Nothing had been able to get rid of it, after months in

hospital. However, I was told that all I had to do on going home was to 'get

outdoors a lot, occasionally even roll in the dirt, and wait.' In less than two

weeks of this advice, the supergerms were gone. Why? The reason is that

supergerms are actually defective in other ways, as explained. Therefore, when

they are forced to compete with the ordinary bacteria which normally thrive on

our skin, they do not have a chance. They thrive in hospital because all the

antibiotics and antiseptics being used there keep wiping out the ordinary

bacteria which would normally out compete, wipe out and otherwise keep in check

these 'superwimps,' " wrote Dr. Carl Wieland

 

Interestingly enough Dr. Weston Price, who studied the diets and health of many

primitive societies during the early 20th century, found that many primitive

people would eat food that has been dipped in water dissolved with clay – in

order to prevent upset stomachs from food poisoning. Two types of clay are today

commonly sold for consumption as health supplements – bentonite and

montmorillonite. These have been variously called " living clay " , " healing clay "

or just " edible clays " . Clay is highly absorptive. It readily absorbs toxins,

heavy metals, bacteria, virus and fungi. But because clay itself is not absorbed

by the body, whatever it absorbs is passed out in the stools.

 

Mutating Viruses

 

Did you know that a nutritional deficiency can cause a virus to mutate to a more

virulent form? That is the news from the United States Department of Agriculture

(USDA) who are reporting that a human virus, normally harmless in laboratory

mice, mutated into a heart-damaging pathogen when the animals were raised on a

diet devoid of the essential element selenium. And, once mutated, the virus

continued to damage hearts - even in mice that got ample selenium in their feed.

 

The importance of this is not limited to nutritionally-deprived populations, say

researchers with the University of North Carolina and Agricultural Research

Service of the government, who collaborated on the studies. In theory, one

selenium-deficient person or animal could produce a new family of virus mutants

that could cross species and spread worldwide, causing disease even in well

nourished people.

 

The USDA is now officially on record that nutritional deficiencies cause viral

mutations and they expect to find the same results with vitamin-E-deficient mice

because both selenium and vitamin E are nutrients that serve as antioxidants in

the body. This means that the government is recognizing that free radicals and

oxidative stress affects the world of pathogens creating super bugs out of

regular critters. They are even going as far as saying that this may help

explain the many new strains of influenza virus arising in China, which has

widespread selenium-deficient areas.

 

The implications are enormous for a form of medicine that understands absolutely

nothing about nutrition and the science of low level toxicity. Part of our

infection fighting arsenal needs to include selenium and ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid)

and this is critical not only for maintaining glutathione levels but also for

the neutralization of mercury. Mercury provides the ideal environment for

viruses, bacteria, fungi and yeast infections. Though most are in total denial

of it, we are as a race being overrun by mercury pollution that is everywhere in

the air, water, food, vaccines, dental amalgam and even beauty products.

 

When a person is bitten by a snake, spider or scorpion it helps the doctors to

know which poison they are treating. One cannot say anything about health or

disease anymore without dealing with mercury and its rising tide. You cannot

treat infectious diseases in effective ways without dealing with the soil of the

infection, with the mercury and other chemical toxicities that are driving the

pathogens. A doctor needs to know his poisons but most of them find their minds

obscured by the denial of the fact that most of the pharmaceuticals they use are

mitochondrial poisons. Modern medicine is lost when it comes to dealing with

mercury and in fact endorses its use in vaccines and dental medicine.

 

Garlic is one food that has powerful anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties

and some scientific studies have found it to be at least as effective as the

popular anti-fungal drug, Nystatin, in destroying candida albicans.

 

We have to change our perceptions about infections and infectious processes. We

need to shift away from the competing paradigms of pathogen vs. terrain. We need

to deal simultaneously with pathogen, terrain and poison. Certainly we need to

deal with nutrition and the use of concentrated nutritional substances that help

us deal safely and effectively with infections.

 

Much more could be said about natural remedies and other substances like

colloidal silver, which is known to have antibacterial properties. I would

choose iodine first because the body needs it anyway where it does not need

colloidal silver. When we use concentrated nutritional substances as antibiotics

we are doing a lot more than confronting hostile pathogens. We are supporting

total body physiology as well as elimination of heavy metals and other toxic

poisons.

 

Nearly 500,000 people are dying yearly in America due to infectious disease. It

now ranks number 3 behind heart disease and cancer in claiming American lives.
