Without sounding too much like a broken record, I will briefly mention that antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria. Then when we killed off all our good bacteria we have to work to repopulate them. Even worse than this though is the fact that antibiotics don’t always kill ALL bad bacteria. What ever wasn’t killed is immune to antibiotics and then a great environment for an overpopulation of bad resistant bacterias (aka “superbugs”) is created.
Many natural alternative medicines exist that are proven more effective than traditional antibiotics. However it’s important to know how to pick the quality alternative medicines that actually work. Some of them will be outlined below- along with tips.
Echinacea is a safe natural antibiotic alternative that is best absorbed in the form of an herbal tincture. It shouldn’t be taken longer than 10 days or so as your body can then become immune to it. Two dropper fulls are usually taken orally and swished around in the mouth for about 15 seconds. It’s best to consult with an herbalist to make sure you are getting a high quality echinacea product as many echinacea tinctures are out on the market and some are duds. A good echinacea tincture should numb and tingle your mouth.
Health Expert Jon Barron says:
“I’ve gone to health food stores and bought 30 brands of Echinacea, tested them and actually when I did this 10 years ago I found only one that had any activity at all. 29 of them, the only Echinacea of value was the word that was on the label. There was nothing inside.”
Raw garlic peeled and exposed to oxygen for about 5 minutes before taking internally is a potent way to unleash the healing properties of garlic. Bacterias and Viruses cannot build a resistance to garlic! So it might take longer than a day like traditional antibiotics to work, but it doesn’t leave any traces of superbugs around.
A more powerful herbal “antibiotic” that originated in Native American Indian medicine. Goldenseal is a potent treatment for more severe needs but note that goldenseal used regularly will indeed deplete good bacteria too.
Not an herb, but actually a liquid suspension of microscopic particles of silver. It reportedly disables the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, viruses and fungi need for their oxygen metabolism leaving no resistant superbugs behind. Health Expert Jon Barron states that taken internally, Colloidal Silver can also kill good bacteria but recommends it for extreme situations.
It is always recommended to do a round of probiotics afterwards to repopulate friendly bacteria. More on that here.

Just a couple of weeks before the H1N1 virus came out, I had been sick for 3 weeks with what seemed to be an upper respiratory infection. After 15 days straight of antibiotics (which I felt were ineffective), the cough was gone but I still felt the symptoms tingling in my chest as if this virus was still trying to take me down- So I used probiotics, but instead of taking more traditional meds, I took 3 drops of Wild Oil of Oregano extract in my water daily, and at last I felt releif from my symptoms. Just wanted to add that if you are suffering from Bronchitis, respiratory issues from virus or bacteria or even Asthma, that this is a very effective natural remedy…
