What Are The Most Effective Natural Antibiotics? — Still Writing

Nature has provided thousands of natural medicines over millennia. Most people are unaware but virtually all pharmaceutical medications originally came from the plants of the Earth. After they were proven effective in treating various ailments, the Pharmaceutical Industry then created synthetic variants which they could patent. In this way they retained the exclusive rights to earn revenues from their patents over a specific period of time.

The point is that every medicine under the sun originated as an herb or a spice, a tree leaf or shrub root, a berry or a fruit. Fortunately, some of these same medicinals function as very efficacious natural antibiotics. Especially when they are prepared properly these potent medicines can produce the desired effects without many of the adverse side affects.

High-powered pharmaceutical antibiotics certainly have their place in today’s society. The proliferation of so many antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria has warranted a new class of similar yet even more potent medications. There is a downside to many of these in that they can leave residues within the human body which can require a deliberate process to completely remove.

Colloidal silver can be applied topically as well as taken internally.  However, long term internal use is not encouraged “because ingestion of colloidal silver does damage the delicate gut microbiome by killing beneficial bacteria though not as extensively as drug based antibiotics“.[1]
