Sometimes, the side effects of antibiotics make you feel worse than you already do. Other times, the illness comes back although you have followed the treatments exactly as the doctor said.

More and more people all over the world are affected by antibiotic resistance, which leads to failed treatments and even death. Not long ago, scientists were focused on finding cures for HIV, cancer and tuberculosis, but now they are working on finding new antibiotics for common infections which kill without notice.

The Harm in Antibiotics

Over the past ten years, antibiotic prescriptions have increased by 36%, resulting in 11.4 million unnecessary prescriptions per year. Some physicians have even started to prescribe antibiotics for viral infections, which are not effective in these cases.

When antibiotics are taken in excess, they kill not only the infection, but also the good bacteria found in our bodies, especially in the intestines. The bacteria that will survive will develop immunity to the antibiotics and build resistance.

Antibiotic Alternatives

More and more physicians are starting to understand the importance of using natural remedies as much as possible, exactly how our grandparents did.

Pneumonia –make sure you have plenty of rest and fluids. Coughing is your body’s natural way to fight the disease. Do not suppress it unless it causes vomiting or difficulty in breathing. Replace aspirin with natural alternatives such as turmeric, clove or willow bark, to lower fever.
Urinary Tract Infection – Use natural probiotics such as yogurt, kefir, apple kraut, tempeh, sauerkraut, kimchi or miso soup. You will increase the levels of good bacteria and help your body fight infection. You can also take D-mannose powder to kill harmful bacteria and cod liver oil to boost immunity. Drink lots of green tea, water, and cranberry juice.
Bacterial Vaginosis – add 1-2 cups of apple cider vinegar into your bath and sit for 20 minutes. Eat two cups of Greek yogurt. Dip a tampon in organic milk and wear it for a couple of hours. Do this every day to alleviate symptoms.
Candida – Candida loves yeast and sugar. Cut the foods containing these ingredients from your diet. Use milk thistle to regenerate and make your liver stronger. Also, deal with your emotional issues, so try to talk it out and relax. This is very important for healing.
Chlamydia – eat many fiber-rich foods such as whole grains and beans and also 1-2 cloves of garlic each day. Apply olive oil on the affected area and take Cat’s Claw and sage and prepare a tea.
Salmonella – drink a lot of water. After each watery stool, you should have at least 200 ml of water, in addition to the regular amount you consume regularly.
