Natural Health Care

For many years I avoided traditional medicine even though that is the mainstream way of taking care of oneself currently.  This month's book talks about the dangerous super bugs; that I've known so little about until now. 

I spoke with someone who had a Staph infection once.  She said by the time the infection healed, her entire immune system was just depleted.  I can't imagine the amount of flora that was just completely destroyed from taking all of those antibiotics.  Antibiotics created super bugs in the first place.  Disease causing bacteria would become resistant to every kind of antibiotic used to kill it, until the super bugs were born.  They keep getting stronger because doctors feel that they have no choice but to make the antibiotics "better" and stronger.

If you catch a bacterial infection before it overwhelms the body, you could usually fight it off with some garlic, raw apple cider vinegar, raw honey, goldenseal or berberine.  I've seen people combine some of these ingredients to make their own special homemade disease fighting concoctions.  In an earlier post for example, there was a little girl who spooned a mixture of raw garlic and raw honey in her mouth.  I guess that this is what her parents make this for her when she feels sick.  I never thought of it, but it sounds GREAT for children!

If you have any other recipes that work for you, plz share!
