Are Antibiotics Killing You? by John Bremner

You can also look for alternative therapies. For example, statistics show that the sugar-related product D-Mannose (available from www.sweet-cures.com) is more effective than most antibiotics for the majority of urinary tract infections, and it works against antibiotic resistant strains of E.coli – the cause of most recurrent cystitis infections. It is also claimed to be totally harmless, even for babies.

And the list goes on:

· For throat infections, traditional remedies such as gargling with alcohol are often as effective as any antibiotic.

· Manuka honey from New Zealand, available from most health food stores, is known to kill the Helicobacter pylori bug that causes duodenal or stomach ulcers.

· Galangal has been used since the times of St. Hildegard of Bingen for catarrh, and it doesn’t give you a dry mouth or other diuretic side-effects like Sudafed.

· Salt water is as good a decongestant as most commercially available nasal sprays.

· Cider vinegar and a diet change can deal with arthritis more efficiently than most drugs, and instead of side-effects, you get healthy.

· For depression, St John’s Wort is non-addictive, unlike Prozac, and there are fewer side-effects.

· Asthmatic or wheezy? Getting a cold? Mix some black cumin seeds with honey and garlic. Used since the times of the Pharaohs, this is cheaper and more effective than any medical preparation, and won’t cause brain tumours, unlike some of the ‘medical’ decongestants available.

The fact is that most of the time, no matter what ailment you are suffering from, you can do better than taking the standard prescription. And think of the money you’ll save the health service, and all the time you’ll save your doctor.

Oops, sorry to inform you that your operation was unnecessary…

Some people are locked into the idea that ‘the doctor knows best’, but although this may sometimes be true, medical training often ignores the huge legacy of knowledge from folk medicine and from other cultures, which were in use long before the fairly recent ‘science’ of medicine came into being. How many surgeons would tell you to take a pint of olive oil and the juice of three lemons (slowly or you’ll vomit it back up) to get rid of gallstones? Or would they rather do a bladderectomy?

In the same way, most trips to the hospital or doctor can be dispensed with.

It is up to ourselves to take charge of our own health. Some solid research can make us experts in our own conditions and allow us to take charge of our own treatment.
