Powerful Natural Antibiotics That Don’t Require A Prescription





Posted Friday, November 21, 2014 at 02:29pm EST
Antibiotics are the most commonly prescribed drugs worldwide to treat bacterial infections. But these overused drugs have many negative side effects. They kill our friendly gut bacteria, mess up our digestive system, lower immunity, and give rise to the development of super-bacteria that become resistant to the most powerful drugs, which can be very dangerous.
Instead of opting for these dangerous and health-harming substances, opt for the much easier and cheaper ways nature provides. Probably they are already hiding in your fridge or pantry.
Like Hippocrates said: “Let food be the medicine and medicine be the food”
Here’s a list of the most powerful natural antibiotics nature provides:
1.    Garlic And Onions
Garlic and onions are close relatives that both have very strong antibiotic, antiviral, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Raw garlic or onions contain a sulfur compound which give them their antibiotic properties. They can be used to treat a wide range of health issues such as earaches, pneumonia, the flu, colds, and MRSA (an antibiotic-resistant strain of Staphylococci).
2.    Raw Honey
Raw honey has been used for ages to treat wounds and prevent bacterial infections. An enzyme found in honey release hydrogen peroxide which kills bacteria, removes toxins, boosts immune system, and soothes the digestive tract.
3.    Echinacea
Echinacea strengthens our immune system to naturally fight bacterial infections. Echinacea is mostly used to treat colds, flu, and other bacterial related diseases. It can even kill the most virulent bacteria such as MRSA.
4.    Grapefruit Extract
Grapefruit extract is very effective against more than 800 strains of harmful viruses and bacteria. It is high in antioxidants that boost immunity, improve digestion, and strengthen the beneficial gut bacteria.
5.    Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
ACV is a natural astringent and can be used topically or internally to treat bacterial infections and soothe the digestive tract. Add one tablespoon ACV together with honey and lemon juice to 1 glass of water and drink up to 3 times a day until symptoms disappear. Click here to learn more about ACV.
6.    Oil Of Oregano
The biggest advantage of oregano oil is that it get rid of harmful bacteria without disrupting the friendly gut bacteria. It also has anti-viral and antifungal properties, but make sure when you buy oil of oregano that it has at least 70% of is most powerful bacteria killing ingredient, carvacrol.
7.    Coconut Oil
Coconut oil has many benefits for our health. It works as a natural antibiotic and has antifungal properties as well. It is packed with antioxidants and other beneficial phytonutrients to boost your immune system and is safe to use internally or externally.
I often add a spoonful to my morning smoothie to increase energy and strengthen my Immune system.
8.    Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver has been used for centuries as a natural antibiotic. It destroys bacteria, viruses and fungi. It can successfully be used to treat topical wounds, sores, MRSA infections and many other bacterial infections.
However, do not use colloidal silver over longer periods as too much silver can be toxic for your body.
9.    Cabbage
Cabbage contains sulfur compounds, antioxidants, and is very high in vitamin C to strengthen your immune system, improve digestion, and fight bacteria naturally. Raw shredded cabbage or cabbage juice works best. Cabbage juice works great to treat stomach ulcers. Drink half a cup up to 3 times a day between meals. You can add a teaspoon raw honey to improve the taste and effectiveness!
