Americans are the most over-prescribed people on earth. That news is nothing new. But did you know that a large majority of those prescriptions come in the form of unnecessary antibiotics? In 2015 alone, approximately 269 million antibiotic prescriptions were written in the United States. What’s more, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, close to one in three of those doctor-prescribed antibiotics were completely unnecessary!

What some may not realize is that God has provided us with natural substances that can be just as powerful at fighting infection as any pharmaceutical when used appropriately. And the good news is that they are safe as well as effective. Here are some things you should know about pharmaceutical antibiotics as well as a rundown on four of my go-to natural antibiotic/ antifungal superfoods.

What is an Antibiotic? 

Antibiotics are medicines (and other substances) taken either internally or topically which have the ability to either slow down or stop bacterial growth completely. Our body typically has the ability to fight off an infection on its own; this defense occurs within the immune system, namely through white blood cells. Antibiotics are useful when our immune system becomes overloaded with a bacterial infection that is growing too fast or is too strong for the body to fend off on its own.

Pharmaceutical antibiotics cannot affect viral infections, however. This includes colds and the flu as well as other, more serious viral-based conditions. As we shall see, however, natural foods and herbs are often able to have an effect on bacterial/fungal infections as well as boost the immunity as well. This added immune-boosting bonus can help you ward off any imbalance in the body, including viruses.
