I don’t know about you, but this talk about antibiotic resistant bacteria scares me! I’m not against antibiotics or other phamaceuticals; I’m against the unnecessary and overuse of them.
Did you know that the unnecessary use of antibiotics can create more damage than you may realize? They can:
- weaken the body’s own natural immune system
- destroy our terrains (aka healthy gut) by killing off the good bacteria (if you’re actually fighting a virus, it’s killing far more good bacteria than bad)
- antibiotics often cause diarrhea symptoms, leading to dehydration, further weakening the body’s immune system just when it needs it most!
Talk about a cascade of trouble!
But above all, the scariest thing to me is MRSA. Once something I only heard about on the news, I’ve known three people in the past five years who have contracted it. Hearing their stories was enough of a wake-up call to inspire me to read about the natural alternatives available and the importance of the responsible use of antibiotics.
To read about the alternatives, please visit Bulk Herb Store’s Blog, where I’m contributing.

In my opinion, garlic is the best natural antibiotic. Great post about natural vs artificial antibiotics.
