Herbal Antibiotics in Natural Health Care and Natural Medicine - Optimum Health and Wellness for People and Animals
Natural Alternatives for Treating Drug-Resistant Bacteria
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, the federal government's disease-fighting agency, has asked physicians to start prescribing antibiotics "prudently," meaning only when absolutely necessary. Their theory is that by saving antibiotics for times when they are truly the only effective choice of treatments, we may stop or at least slow down the deadly advance of these wily, mutant microbes. Officials from the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control have reported that the overuse of antibiotics in medicine has created an epidemic of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Doctors fear that if antibiotic use is not curtailed, we may soon approach the day when untreatable infections are rampant. The reappearance of highly infectious bacteria is caused in part by the overuse and misuse of antibiotics. Learn about safe, effective alternative to treat infectious diesease more

David M. Markowitz, M.D - "Did you know that close to $10 billion was spent on antibiotics in the U.S. last year? Did you know that many bacteria have become increasingly resistant to these drugs and that many drugs are outdated as soon as they are released for use? Have you seen the many articles in Time and Newsweek (and many medical journals) about the variety of plagues caused by infectious agents throughout the world? What can we do to protect ourselves in a safe and natural way against this ever-increasing threat? Have you had a child or patient who has required multiple drugs to deal with one or several ear infections? This is how this threat touches our daily lives. We now have new HOPE . . . literally, hope in a capsule of Transfer Factor!"

  • Towards the end of Louis Pasteur's life, he confessed that germs may not be the cause of disease after all, but may simply be another symptom of disease. He had come to realize that germs seem to lead to illness primarily when the person's immune and defense system (what biologists call "host resistance") is not strong enough to combat them. The "cause" of disease is not simply a bacteria but also the factors that compromise host resistance, including the person's hereditary endowment, his nutritional state, the stresses in his life, and his psychological state.
    "For many of us it comes as as surprise to learn that bacteria are highly intelligent and adaptable. We have been taught from birth that they are pretty dumb and that, through the use of antibiotics, we are winning a war against them, a war that will end all disease. In fact the opposite is true. Bacteria show behavior that indicate intelligence and they are acting together throughout the world to counter the antibiotics we have invented to kill them off. Bacteria, it turns out, are inextricably intertwined with the formation of the human species and the health of the Earth. One to two pounds of our body weight are bacteria and over eons we have developed a crucial and important symbiosis with them.

    Herbal Antibiotics: Natural Alternatives for Treating Drug-Resistant Bacteria
    (also antiseptics, antivirals, antipyretics, anti-inflammatories, and antifungals)

    Alexander Fleming, the scientist who discovered penicillin, cautioned against the overuse of antibiotics. Unless the scientific community and the general public heed his warning, Harvard professor Walter Gilbert, a Nobel prizewinner in chemistry, asserted, "There may be a time down the road when 80% to 90% of infections will be resistant to all known antibiotics." The scientific community and the general public have ignored the insights of the late Pasteur and have ignored the importance of host resistance in preventing illness.

    The Germ Survival Guide recommends Transfer Factor . This new book written by Kenneth A. Bock, M.D., Steven J. Bock, M.D. is designed to give families and individuals preventative strategies to use to protect against germs and environmental threats. Transfer factors are extolled in the book as an effective way to optimize immune system function so that personal immunity is at its best in the face of a variety of health threats.  In a clinical study, pediatrician, David M. Markowitz, M.D. reports an 84% reduction in antibiotic use when children used Transfer Factor

    About one-fourth of all the medicines we use come from rainforest plants. Curare, from a tropical vine, is used as an anesthetic and to relax muscles for surgery. Quinine, from the cinchona tree, is used to treat malaria. The rosy periwinkle contains an anti-leukemia drug; a person with lymphocytic leukemia has a 99% chance that the disease will go into remission because of the rosy periwinkle. more than 1,400 varieties of tropical plants are thought to be potential cures for cancer.

    In a clinical study, pediatrician, David M. Markowitz, M.D. reports an 84% reduction in antibiotic use when children used Transfer Factor

    he difference between an antibiotic drug and an antibiotic herb is that the drug is an isolated constituent limited to the power of that one chemical, whereas the herb contains several constituents with a variety of healing properties, producing a synergistic effect. The herb can actually kill only the bad bacteria while not harming the good; the drug does not have the wisdom to differentiate. Furthermore, most bacteria are not fooled by an isolated compound; often the drug becomes ineffective or the cells mutate eventually to become resistant to the drug. The organic herb is nature’s match for the bacteria.

    Treat Ear and Respiratory Infections Without AntibioticsAlternative to Ear Tubes Stop Your Child's Ear Infections Naturally Without Antibiotics Two out of three infants receive antibiotics before they turn one year old. By the age of two, three out of four children have received the drugs, according to recent research. These findings are especially concerning as resistance to common antibiotics is becoming an ever increasing problem. Deaths caused by Staphylococcus aureus, the so-called superbug that is resistant to most antibiotics, are reportedly increasing. Moreover, research from a new study has shown that children from low-economic backgrounds are more likely to receive antibiotics than those from more well off families, and boys tend to receive antibiotics earlier than girls. Low-economic background might be a factor because people from this group tend to have higher rates of respiratory illness due to smoking and a lower likelihood of breast-feeding.



    Homeopathy.
    Homeopathic medicine developed much of its popularity in the United States and Europe because of its success in treating people with cholera, scarlet fever, yellow fever and other infectious diseases that were ravaging populations.  After 200 years, homeopathy is re-emerging as a major healing approach during this era of a degenerative disease epidemic and the resurgence of infectious disease epidemics in the form of mutated ‘supergerms’

    A little known fact of history is that homeopathic medicine developed its popularity in the United States as well as in Europe because of its successes in treating the infectious epidemics that raged during the 19th century. Dr. Thomas L. Bradford's The Logic of Figures, published in 1900, compares in detail the death rate in homeopathic versus allopathic (conventional) medical hospitals and shows that death rates per 100 patients in homeopathic hospitals were often one-half or even one-eighth that of conventional medical hospitals.

    In 1849 the homeopaths of Cincinnati claimed that in over a thousand cases of cholera only 3% of the patients died. To substantiate their results they even printed the names and addresses of patients who died or who survived in a newspaper. (28) The death rate of patients with cholera who used conventional medicines generally ranged from 40 to 70%.

    The success of treating yellow fever with homeopathy was so impressive that a report from the United States Government's Board of Experts included several homeopathic medicines, despite the fact that the Board of Experts was primarily composed of conventional physicians who despised homeopathy.

    The success of homeopathy in treating modern-day infections is comparable to its successes in treating the infectious diseases of the last century. It is common knowledge that homeopathic practitioners rarely resort to using antibiotics or other drugs commonly given for infectious conditions. Homeopaths, like any good medical professional, will use antibiotics when clearly necessary, but it is worthwhile having alternatives that work. more

    Herbal Antibiotics : Natural Alternatives for Treating Drug-Resistant Bacteria

    By creating antibiotics we have introduced non-biodegradable antibacterial substances into the ecosystem at the rate (now) of 40 million pounds a year. To survive, for our species to survive, bacteria had to evolve and they have at a rate never before seen on Earth. In this process they have become more intractable and virulent than ever before. But more than this, bacteria previously benign have been learning how to become virulent. We have upset the bacterial balance of nature to a frightening degree. Over the next decade our antibacterial arsenal will begin to fail at an ever increasing rate. Epidemiologists now warn of epidemic diseases that are not treatable by modern means. But it turns out that herbal medicines, those most ancient of human helpers, are effective against antibiotic resistant bacteria for they are much more complex than antibiotics and bacteria cannot develop resistance to them. In this book I explore the ecological basis of bacterial resistance, some of what we can do to prevent it, and the top fifteen herbs to use as antibiotic substitutes for treating the most intractable resistant diseases. By learing to understand bacteria as a crucial life form on Earth and how to live in balance with them instead of destroy them, ecological healing - a healing that takes into account our place in the circle of life - can begin."  Stephen Harrod Buhner 


    Healing with Holy Thistle (Blessed Thistle) and Other Herbs

    The use of blessed thistle commonly known as holy thistle (Carbenia benedicta) has been recorded as far back as the early sixteenth century for treating smallpox, fever, anorexia, dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation, and flatulence.  Monks often grew Blessed Thistle as a cure for small pox. Historically, blessed thistle tea has been drunk for digestive problems, liver and gall bladder problems, headache prevention, respiratory ailments, memory improvement and external problems such as sores, boils and itchy skin. The plant gained the title "blessed" for its use in treating plague. Blessed thistle is also used as a strong but gentle liver tonic herb, promoting metabolic activities in the liver cells and toxin elimination. Especially noted as a tonic herb for women. Some individuals employ this herbs, as they would its cousin milk thistle, as a remedy for gallbladder and liver disorders. more 


    Probiotics
    Probiotics are the beneficial bacteria that are normally present in the digestive tract. These bacteria are required for proper digestion, the synthesis of Vitamin K, and the prevention of yeast infections and pathogen growth. Studies have  shown that the continual use of antibiotics has a devastating affect on the immune system.  Each time you use an antibiotic, the immune system gets further and further suppressed. Antibiotic kill friendly helpful microflora bacteria in a body, not just the pathogenic bacteria. A healthy intestinal tract with a balanced microflora can boost the immune system, keep pathogenic diseases of the intestinal tract in check. Probiotic use creates an intestinal environment that can improve a user's immune system. The intestines are the body's largest immune organ. It's a fairly hostile environment and a well balanced system can relieve immunological stress associated with an unhealthful system. This gives the immune system a chance to enhance its capabilities in other parts of the body.

    Infection Clearing up with Marine Phytoplankton

    My Father-in-law developed an eye infection due to cataract surgery. He was under a specialist's care for over two months. He would go to see him every day for a while and then every few days and he was using FOUR types of drops in the infected eye every hour. Then the doctor mentioned he might have to do surgery to "hopefully" correct the problem. We started Dad on Marine Phytoplankton three times a day on a Tuesday and the doctor saw improvement the following Thursday. Then the following Tuesday, the doctor was very impressed with his progress plus my father-in-law said he could see better out of that eye than he had in over two months. The following Thursday, the infection had completely CLEARED up. The doctor was so impressed, he told him to keep taking the "vitamins". He sent Dad back to his original doctor and he released him because the eye problem was completely healed.

    Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine phytoplankton contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally. Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet". Containing a wide range of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes and cellular materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body. Its antioxidants and unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer. Both high levels of saccharides and adaptogens increase energy and stamina by improving our ability to consume and use oxygen. Adaptogens also improve cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart and circulation.  more about marine phytoplankton's healing power


    Garlic - the infection fighter 

    "Garlic has been used for thousands of year in folk medicine as an "infection fighther". Reseach studies have confirmed that it has serious immune system enhancing capacities/potential. Don't cook it if you want to use it to bost your immune system. For the full efect don't c hew it- just swallow it and let its powerful alkaloids (ative ingredients) be absorbed directly into your digestive tract. If you ahve a delicate stomach you will want to start with half a small clove." Miranda Castro FSHom

    Echinacea and Golden Seal  Powerful Infection Fighters

    Echinacea Used as a blood cleanser and especially for skin disorders, such as boils and abcesses considered a valuable alternative to antiobiotics; This herb has very strong immune-activating abilities as it activates the white blood cells to fight off both bacterial and viral infections Modern scientific studies now validate Echinacea's traditional usage as a topical agent to help the body repair skin wounds, and internally to enhance the immune system. The active constituents in Echinacea which are thought to bolster the body's defense are known as polysaccharides. Polysaccharides stimulate the activity of macrophages, white blood cells which destroy bacteria, viruses, other foreign invaders, and even wayward cells. It also activates the body's production of interferon, a specific protein which protects cells against the invasion of viruses. 

    Golden Seal is a very important traditional herb. Golden Seal was listed from 1860 to 1926 in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia. It was primarily used for inflammations of the mucous membranes. Native Americans used Goldenseal both internally and externally and also derived a dye from the root. 

    Golden Seal is available in tincture form or capsules
    Echinacea and Golden Seal are also available in combination (Available products and and more information)
    Herbal antibiotic tincture made with Echinacea; Myrrh; Poke Root; Cayenne is also available.

    Magnesium Chloride: The Infection Fighter
    Magnesium chloride is nothing short of a miracle mineral in its healing effect on a wide range of diseases as well as in its ability to rejuvenate the aging body. We know that it is essential for many enzyme reactions, especially in regard to cellular energy production, for the health of the brain and nervous system and also for healthy teeth and bones. However, it may come as a surprise that in the form of magnesium chloride it is also an impressive infection fighter. The first prominent researcher to investigate and promote the antibiotic effects of magnesium was a French surgeon, Prof. Pierre Delbet MD. In 1915 he was looking for a solution to cleanse wounds of soldiers, because he found that traditionally used antiseptics actually damaged tissues and encouraged infections instead of preventing them. In all his tests magnesium chloride solution was by far the best. Not only was it harmless for tissues, but it also greatly increased leucocyte activity and phagocytosis, the destruction of microbes. more



    Healing from the Hive
    Bee Propolis- The Most Natural Antibiotic The bactericidal qualities of this medicine have been known since the beginning of written history. Propolis is now considered an important part of dietetics and a natural cure by the World Health Organization. A natural antibiotic, propolis has no side effects and has also been shown to fight bacterial strains that have become resistant to synthetic antibiotics. 

    Bee Propolis : Natural Healing from the Hive by James Fearnley
    Propolis, which bees process from the plant and tree resin they gather and use to protect the health of their hives, has also been shown to have powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects in humans. It has been proven effective in treating skin conditions, wounds, burns, and in the treatment of respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis. This guide explains how to use propolis as a part of an everyday health routine to boost the immune system and as a possible substitute for antibiotics. Also included is a list of propolis products that are on the market and instructions for consumers to make their own propolis remedies. 

    Raw Bee Propolis is collected from domestic and overseas beekeepers and is one of the richest sources of bioflavonoids known. Bees collect the propolis from the resin of certain select trees and use it to line the hive. Bee Propolis s a waxy substance collected by honey bees which contains phytotonizides. Phytotonizides are believed to contain immunity factors, which when used internally, stimulates the body and gives it a natural resistance to diseases (a natural antibiotic).

    Bee Pollen's Medical Miracles 
    Researchers have demonstrated that there is a substance in bee pollen that inhibits the development of numerous harmful bacteria. Experiments have shown bee pollen contains an antibiotic factor effective against salmonella and some strains of bacteria. On the clinical level, studies have shown that a regulatory effect on intestinal function can be attributed to bee pollen. The presence of a high proportion of cellulose and fiber in pollen, as well as the existence of antibiotic factors, all contribute to an explanation for this efficacious effect. "Bee pollen contains all the essential components of life. The percentage of rejuvenating elements in bee pollen remarkably exceeds those present in brewer's yeast and wheat germ. Bee pollen corrects the deficient or unbalanced nutrition, common in the customs of our present-day civilization of consuming incomplete foods, often with added chemical ingredients, which expose us to physiological problems as various as they are numerous."Dr. Joseph Mercola  - Learn about Bee Pollen's Medical Miracles  (this pollen is cold processed to retain its nutrient's integrity)
     

    Healing from the Hive' In this free e-book, Rita Elkins discusses how bee products can aid healing: boost immunity and slow the aging process; enhances mood and reduces stress; balances and regulates body systems and hormones; suppresses cravings and unhealthy appetite, moderates body weight; rebuild bones, tissue and muscle as well as increasing energy and stamina.



    Colloidal Silver, renowned as a universal natural antibiotic and disinfectant

    Colloidal Silver: Antibiotic Superhero

    As an antibiotic, Silver kills over 650 disease causing organisms and RESISTANT STRAINS FAIL TO DEVELOP. Silver is absolutely non-toxic. Silver in its colloidal state is highly germicidal and has the opposite magnetic charge to disease; it usually starts cleaning the bloodstream after 15 minutes of ingestion. Colloidal Silver functions to kill disease organisms as well as stimulate the regrowth and repair of injured tissue. It may be used both internally and externally, for humans and animals. Externally, this water may be applied directly to cuts, rashes, burns, and moles. Internally, it may be used for viral infections, throat and respiratory infections, diabetes, Candida yeast infections, menstrual difficulties, parasites, diarrhea, allergies, colon spasms, and low energy. Colloidal Silver may be used as eye drops for retinitis (a disease of the eyes). more

    "The growing threat of multi-drug resistant bacteria is good reason to think about colloidal silver."Professor Ronald J. Gibbs has been the director of the Center for Colloidal Science at the University of Delaware since 1981. He has published over 85 reviewed journal articles and 5 technical reports, edited 14 books, and presented 61 talks at national and international meetings. His book: Silver Colloids - Do They Work? 

    Note from Shirley: I save mucho $$$ by making  my own colloidal silver at home for my entire family, including my dog Shasta, with an inexpensive Colloidal Silver Generator.

    Beyond Antibiotics: 50 (or so) ways to Boost Immunity and Avoid Antibiotics 
    Dr. Michael A. Schmidt, Dr. Lendon H. Smith, and Dr. Keith W. Sehnert

    Officials from the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control have reported that the overuse of antibiotics in medicine has created an epidemic of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Doctors fear that if antibiotic use is not curtailed, we may soon approach the day when untreatable infections are rampant. In Beyond Antibiotics, Drs. Schmidt, Smith, and Sehnert explore the problems presented by the overuse of these drugs. More importantly, they show how to build immunity, improve resistance to infections, and avoid antibiotics when possible.

    Natural Alternatives to Antibiotics  John McKenna Offers natural approaches to the treatment of bacterial infections. Provides therapeutic options for the treatment and prevention of infections using herbal, homeopathic, and nutritional remedies. Includes a chapter on childhood infections. 

    "Are Antibiotics still effective? The period once euphemistically called the Age of the Miracle Drug is now dead. And the indiscriminate use of antibiotics is leading us to one of the most frightening eras in recent memory. That is, the return of infectious diseases for which there is no effective treatment. Two decades following the introduction of antibiotics, the medical community began to see a disturbing trend. Bacterial infections that were once treatable no longer responded to antibiotics. Penicillin is effective today against only 10 percent of the strains of Staphylococcus aureus that it used to eradicate easily. Those that did respond often required five to ten times the dose of the drug that previously was effective. One example of this is the resistant strains of gonorrhea that developed as a result of the antibiotics that were used to treat it." Michael Traub, N.D.


    Slippery Elm Inner Bark Powder
    According to the herbal materia medica, Slippery Elm has a most soothing and healing action on all the parts it comes in contact with. Taken unsweetened, three times a day, Elm Food gives excellent results in gastritis, gastric catarrh, indigestion, mucous colitis and enteritis, diarrhea, being tolerated by the stomach when all other foods fail, and is of great value in bronchitis, bleeding from the lungs and consumption (being most healing to the lungs), soothing a cough and building up and preventing wasting.

    Slippery Elm Food is generally made by mixing a teaspoonful of the powder into a thin and perfectly smooth paste with cold water and then pouring on a pint of boiling water, steadily stirring meanwhile. It can, if desired, be flavoured with cinnamon, nutmeg or lemon rind. This makes an excellent drink in cases of irritation of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, and taken at night will induce sleep. In times of famine, early American settlers used slippery elm as a survival food. A strengthening, soothing demulcent herb, slippery elm is ideal for sore, inflamed, ulcerated mucous membranes and wasting disease. Slippery elm can be used by weak or debilitated people as a mild food to help build up the body. It is especially helpful when no other food can be kept down. It is a highly nutritive, tonic herbal food and is further helpful for conditions of tissue deficiency.

    Olive Leaf Extract: The Total Antimicrobial (article) 
    The first formal medical mention of the olive leaf - an account describing its ability to cure severe cases of fever and malaria -- ocurred about 150 years ago. In 1854, the Pharmaceutical Journal carried a report by one Daniel Hanbury and contained the following simple healing recipe: Boil a handful of leaves in a quart of water down to half its original volume. Then administer the liquid in the amount of a wineglass every 3 or 4 hours until the fever is cured. The author said he discovered the effective tincture in 1843 and had used it successfully. This method became well known in England for treating sick Britons returning from His or Her Majesty's tropical colonies. The author believed that a bitter substance in the leaves was the key healing ingredient. more

    Tea Tree oil (article) As early as 1923, clinical trials in Australia began to provide scientific evidence for tea tree oil's antiseptic and bactericidal properties. Its 'cure-all' effects made it standard issue in the first aid kits of the Australian Army and Navy during World War II.

    Book: Tea Tree Oil for Health and Well-Being

    Animal Care: Tea tree oil is a non-irritant antiseptic, fungicide and disinfectant of great repute. This first aid handbook offers a recipe for you to make your own salve (See Section 3) aswell as many uses for tea tree oil straight or in a diluted form. I have used tea tree oil on both of my dogs and cats with wonderful results. For many years I raised Rottweilers, having as many as 9 adult dogs at one time. Though I am down to one now, who is presently 12 years old, I still use the tea tree oil to maintain the inside of his ears and for any insect bites he may acquire during our walks in the mountains. Whether you use this wonderful oil on yourself or on your dog, cat or horse, it is a valuable medicine in any home. 

    The oil contains numerous chemicals known as terpenoids. The oil kills fungus and bacteria, including those resistant to some antibiotics. A single blind study has shown topical application of 5% tea tree oil in people with acne is as helpful as benzoylperoxide and has fewer side effects. Tea tree oil contributes to an extremely effective antibacterial shampoo. more about the antibacterial effects of tea tree oil.

    FELINE WARNING! Many cat owners claim to use Tea Tree oil without any adverse effect, however, there have been reports from the US that Tea Tree oil is toxic, to cats. There are unconfirmed reports of cats which have died following the its use. In the US, cat owners are advised to seek the advice of a vet before using the oil on cats. A Californian producer of the oil was reportedly unhappy about its Tea Tree product being promoted for use on cats due to concerns over its potential toxicity. In the UK there appears to be no mention of possible ill-effects or contra-indications and little awareness of its toxicity.more

    An American expert in the use of essential oils (who has used Tea Tree oil successfully to treat skin infections in cats) recommends that the oil should not be used where the cat can lick it off, This addresses the hazard of ingestion, but not of absorption through the skin or through wounds (such as unhealed flea bites).

    Australian Tea Tree Oil - First Aid for Animals by Cheyanne West

    Tea Tree oil is an effective bactericide killing a broad spectrum of bacteria and a range of stubborn fungi. It is safe for healthy tissue and does not inhibit normal cell growth and rejuvenation. Tea Tree oil is a powerful organic solvent and will actually dissolve the lumps of white blood cells which make pus. The oil contains numerous chemicals known as terpenoids.

Tea tree oil contributes to an extremely effective antibacterial shampoo. more about the antibacterial effects of tea tree oil.

    Tea Tree Oil has a very wide range of application:

  • 1. This oil is unusual in that it is active against all three categories of infectious organisms; bacteria, fungi and viruses.
  • 2. It is a very powerful immuno-stimulant, so when the body is threatened by any of these organisms, tea tree oil increased its ability to respond. Learn more...

  • Healing Power of Grapefruit Seed

    There are many herbs and essential oils that kill enterococcus, staphylococcus and other bacteria as well as viruses, which antibiotics are unable to treat. One of the most popular is grapefruit seed extract, or GSE, made from the seeds and connecting tissue of citrus fruit. Grapefruit seed extract(GSE) is being used to kill bacteria like Strep, Staph, Salmonella, E. Coli, and also to fight Candida, Herpes, Influenza, parasites, fungi and traveler's diarrhea. This has been proven in laboratories all over the world, and is supported by feedback from doctors, veterinarians, farmers and consumers. Non-toxic, biodegradable, economical, with no harmful side-effects Natural Solutions to Drug-Resistant Infections
     

    GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT FOR ANIMAL CARE
    Excerpt from Pat McKay's website

    "Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) is a broad spectrum, non-toxic, antimicrobial product derived from the seeds, pulp and white membranes of grapefruit. In hundreds of laboratory tests, GSE has demonstrated its ability to kill or inhibit the growth of a wide array of potentially harmful bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoan parasites. 

    The American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association now boasts over 500 members as an ever increasing number of veterinarians incorporate holistic health concepts into their practices. Many of these physicians have experienced the same excellent results with GSE as reported in human health care. Consider the words of Stephen Blake, DVM of San Diego, California. “I have found it (GSE) effective in the treatment of Giardia, ear infections and superficial pyoderma (skin infections). I have also used GSE to purify meat so that I can feed my patients raw meat and not worry about food poisoning. I have used GSE for canker sores, gum infections and tonsilitis in animals, as a vaginal douche for breeding horses to prevent infection and to prevent foot rot in horses.” 

    Philadelphia veterinarian, Dr Deva Kaur Khalsa, has used GSE extensively in her holistic practice. Because ear infections in cats, when caused by fungus, can prove highly resistant to treatment, Dr Khalsa was particularly interested in GSE’s antifungal properties. She says, “GSE has proven itself to be extremely dependable and effective while adhering to the criteria of a natural, non-toxic modality. 

    Now that many professional have found GSE beneficial to cats, dogs, birds and farm animals, we are hearing reptile and amphibian enthusiasts asking how GSE might be of use to the furless, featherless crowd. It has long been known that pet turtles harbor salmonella, a bacteria that not only threatens the animal, but humans as well. Since GSE is effective against salmonella in a laboratory setting, GSE as a treatment for reptiles is an exciting possibility for those concerned with our shell-toting friends." 

    There are many herbs and essential oils that kill enterococcus, staphylococcus and other bacteria as well as viruses, which antibiotics are unable to treat. One of the most popular is grapefruit seed extract, or GSE, made from the seeds and connecting tissue of citrus fruit. Grapefruit seed extract(GSE) is being used to kill bacteria like Strep, Staph, Salmonella, E. Coli, and also to fight Candida, Herpes, Influenza, parasites, fungi and traveler's diarrhea. This has been proven in laboratories all over the world, and is supported by feedback from doctors, veterinarians, farmers and consumers. Non-toxic, biodegradable, economical, with no harmful side-effects. 

     Dr. Jane Bicks, a holistic veterinarian, adds grape seeds to Life's Abundance, a healthy kibble for dogs and cats. She explain why it is important.

    Quality, Potent Herbal Formulas
    Unlike most nutritional supplements on the market today, the botanicals in Amazon Herb formulas have not been altered or fractioned. They have not been extracted from their original composition. These herbs  are never fumigated, irradiated, genetically engineered or exposed to pesticides and industrial poisons. The integrity and life force of these plant is maintained. They are living foods that work, just as nature intended!  The spagyric processing of the Amazon herbs is based on ancient bio-energetic principles and is the most perfect method available to deliver a full body treatment. John Easterling had a vision of bringing nutritional vitality to the world and at the same time helping preserve one of our greatest treasures, the Amazon Rainforest. He searched for the perfect vehicle to do so and he found it in a 15th century spagyric processing method that was designed to deliver the energetics (life force) of the plants. He studied the process, sometimes referred to as plant alchemy, and it was in alignment with what he wanted to provide. It was the only known method that could bring forward the essential oil, water soluble and mineral components (alkaline ash). The result is that it retains the plants original constitution with more concentrated healing potential than raw plants can provide. more

    Sea plants -- gifts from the sea! 
    Seaweed contains over 60 minerals and elements, 21 amino acids, simple and complex carbohydrates and several essential plant growth hormones. Being rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements is one of the key reasons why kelp is known as a great promoter of glandular health, especially for the pituitary, adrenal and thyroid glands. Kelp also supplies a natural source of iodine, which acts as an antibiotic to kill germs. Since the thyroid and pituitary glands regulate certain functions of digestion, kelp is beneficial in balancing out the total system. Nature has offered us this marvelous "herb of the sea" in a complete and balanced form. Kelp/seaweed aids in the healing process by offering the vitamins and minerals necessary for tissue repair and promotes better utilization and absorption of nutrients from foods ingested.

    Water The Great Healer and Detoxifier! 
    Water therapy has been used for centuries to heal the sick.  Hydro- and hydrothermal therapy are traditional methods of treatment that have been used for the treatment of disease and injury by many cultures, including those of ancient Rome, China, and Japan. Water therapy has been around for centuries. The ancient Greeks took therapeutic baths. Water is an important ingredient in the traditional Chinese and Native American healing systems. more

    F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. - "Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water. Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and chemical messengers to all parts of the body. Without sufficient water to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive the vital elements that water supplies. Water is also needed to carry toxic waste away from the cells. In fact, there are at least 50 reasons why the body needs sufficient water on a regular, everyday basis. Without sufficient water to constantly wet all parts, your body's drought-management system kicks into action. The histamine-directed chemical messenger systems are activated to arrange a new, lower quota of water for the drought-stricken areas. When histamine and its subordinate "drought managers" come across pain-sensing nerves, they cause pain. This is what I discovered in my research that I mentioned earlier." 

    Benefits of Alkaline, Ionized Water, by Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D. 
    Water has the ability to attract and accumulate bio-energy. It also stores an energy memory of harmful or helpful vibrations to which it was exposed in the past.  Chlorinated tap water is polluted with non-biological chemicals and negative energy imprints. It is also devoid of bio-energy and so may be regarded as being badly polluted as well as 'dead'. Alkaline living water is regarded by a growing number of health care professionals as the best water to drink and is listed as a medical device in Japan for the treatment of degenerative diseases.

    Joseph M. Price, MD - "Chlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern times. It is an insidious poison."

    Albert Schatz, Ph.D - "Fluoridation  is the greatest fraud that has ever been perpetrated and it has been perpetrated on more people than any other fraud has." Professor Albert Schatz, Ph.D. (Microbiology), Discoverer of streptomycin and Nobel Prize Winner

    Matthew Silver, MD  - "An associate in her early fifties who had suffered for many years from the toxic effects of chlorine poisoning from inhaling vapors from an over-chlorinated swimming pool. This had resulted in many severe health challenges including extreme chronic fatigue and breathing difficulty that kept her housebound and dependent on oxyn. Even minimal exertion led to extreme shortness of breath. After just three days of drinking glyconutrients, she reported that all of her symptoms improved dramatically and that she was able to leave her house without oxygen and work in her garden, which she had not been able to do in years."  The sugars found on all Glyconutrients (saccharides) also address the workings of the brain and nervous system – from memory and sleep to anxiety and depression.

    Safe, toxin-free, Ionized, Energized, Drinking Water helps to naturally flush toxins and acidic waste from the body and is a powerful antioxidant. Ionized Water makes more oxygen available to our cells than distilled, reverse osmosis, filtered only, bottled or tap water and is the best possible drinking water. "Disease and early death is more likely to be seen with the long term drinking of purified water. Avoid it except in special circumstances." Zoltan P. Rona M.D
     


    Chemicals and Toxins Are The Primary Cause of Illness, Disease and Obesity
    Substances that are toxic to our bodies come at us from all directions: the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the cleaning products we use, and the metabolic waste produced inside us. Toxins build-up in the body contribute to premature aging and chronic and degenerative diseases. Dr. Steve Nugent, the past president of the American Naturopathic Medical Association, reported recently that "in the typical American home there are more toxins inside the home than outside the home! Your cells actually contain over 400 new toxins that didn't even exist 45 years ago and we are losing the battle against toxins!" It's a fact. There are increasing amounts of toxins and chemical agents in the water we drink, the food we eat and the air we breathe - they all contribute to the breakdown in cellular communication and disease.  more

    Rebuilding the Immune System: The body's defense department

    Your immune system is your bodyguard. It works both pro-actively and protectively to shield you from anything in your world that threatens your life and limb. The immune system is not responsive to drugs for healing. By rebuilding immunity, health is naturally restored and disease disappears. If health and immunity are thereafter conscientiously maintained, the individual is no longer vulnerable to disease. According t o Dr. George C Pack, MD, a cancer specialist at Cornell medical School, almost everyone has cancer cells present at times in our bodies. If our immune system is working properly, these cells are killed or reabsorbed by our defense system before they begin to grow and threaten our health. The only real defense against cancer is the immune system. Everyone gets cancer every day but if the immune system is where it should be those cancer cells are eliminated and we never know it. more

    Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) - A Great Global SCAM
    By Leonard G. Horowitz, DMD, MA, MPH

    Dr. Horowitz argues that this unprecedented viral attack is, alternatively, an ingenious social experiment featuring institutionalized bioterrorism for widespread psycho-social control. The outcome of this experiment, whether it leads to population reduction or not, depends on you.

    As a Harvard graduate in public health, and expert in the fields of medical sociology, behavioral science, and emerging diseases, Dr. Horowitz is  best known for his work exposing the man-made origin of HIV/AIDS in the national bestselling book, Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola-Nature, Accident or Intentional?

    Healing Clay - Healing Earth

    Clay is renowned to have many uses in promoting health in plants, animals and humans. Bentonite, Pascalite, as well as other types of healing clays, have been used by indigenous cultures since before recorded history.

    The Native Americans call it "Ee-Wah-Kee" meaning  "The-Mud-That-Heals" Bentonite, as well as other types of healing clay, has been used by indigenous cultures since before recorded history. "The Amargosians (predecessors to the Aztecs ), the Aborigines, and natives of Mexico and South America all recognized the benefit of clays. " "...healing mud not only draws toxic material out of the body if taken internally, but also reduces pain and infection in open wounds on both humans and animals."


    Profound Life-Giving Properties of Marine Phytoplankton 

    Dr. Jerry Tennant, MD,  from the Tennant Institute of Integrative Medicine, explains that the micronutrients and electrolytes in marine phytoplankton are exactly what human cell membranes need to carry out their metabolism. Not surprisingly, the composition of human plasma, or fluid surrounding cell membranes, is similar to that of sea water. For three billion years Marine Phytoplankton has supported virtually all living creatures in the Ocean. It contains  a unique combination of life sustaining nutrients including; Omega 3 essential fatty acids (EPA and DHA), protein, chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Overdependence on land-based food sources often lead to deficiencies in micronutrients and trace elements. Marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body. When the body is missing critical components, it is unable to maintain the balance of these systems, and malfunctions (disease) result.  Scientific research indicates that Marine Phytoplankton may be the most important food on Planet Earth. It is nature's gift to assist us on our journey to optimal health and wellness through balanced nutrition.  "The future of Nutrition is found in the ocean" - Jacques Cousteau  more


    Healing with Holy Thistle (Blessed Thistle) and Other Herbs

    Blessed thistle taken in meat or drink is good for the swimming and giddiness of the head; it strengthens the memory and is a singular remedy against deafness.  The same boiled in wine and drunk, heals the griping pains of the belly, kills and expels worms, causes sweat, provokes urine, and drives out gravel, cleanses the stomach; and is very good against the 4 day fever.The use of blessed thistle commonly known as holy thistle (Carbenia benedicta) has been recorded as far back as the early sixteenth century for treating smallpox, fever, anorexia, dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation, and flatulence.  Monks often grew Blessed Thistle as a cure for small pox. Historically, blessed thistle tea has been drunk for digestive problems, liver and gall bladder problems, headache prevention, respiratory ailments, memory improvement and external problems such as sores, boils and itchy skin. The plant gained the title "blessed" for its use in treating plague. Blessed thistle is also used as a strong but gentle liver tonic herb, promoting metabolic activities in the liver cells and toxin elimination. Especially noted as a tonic herb for women. Some individuals employ this herbs, as they would its cousin milk thistle, as a remedy for gallbladder and liver disorders. more


    Glyconutrients / Glyconutritionals / Saccharides - It's Role in People and Animals' Health and Wellness

    Glyconutrients are not vitamins, minerals, herbals, homeopathics or enzymes. They are a class all to themselves. They are supplements derived from nature that have been formulated based on a new understanding in biochemistry of how our bodies maintain health at the cellular level. This new discovery is as significant as the discovery of the role of vitamins, essential fatty acids, and amino acids in how the  body functions. Glyconutritionals are the foods and nutritional supplements that provide saccharides along with other glycoforms (lipids and proteins) essential to the body, but which are scarce in most diets. Over 20,000 studies have been conducted on individual glyconutrients, and virtually all of them have positive outcomes and show great promise as healers of the future. Based on the knowledge that the body can heal itself through cell to cell communication if given the proper nutrients, glyconutrients are seen by many scientists and doctors as the missing link to optimal health.

    Vaccines: Are They Really Safe And Effective?What Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated - pictures from the CDC about the side effects of vaccinesWhat Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually, as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.

    In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured articles asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases in childhood through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy, and Science News, a magazine read by both health care professionals and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and chronic diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues.

    Congressman is calling for criminal penalties for any government agency that knew about the dangers of thimerosal in vaccines and did nothing to protect American children. Congressman Dan Burton (R-Indiana) during Congressional Hearing: "You mean to tell me that since 1929, we've been using Thimerosal, and the only  test that you know of is from 1929, and every one of those people had mennigitis, and they all died?" For nearly an hour, Burton repeatedly asked FDA and CDC officials what they knew and when they knew it. (Thimerosal contains a related mercury compound called ethyl mercury. Mercury is a toxic metal that can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions.)

    The acid-alkaline balance of the body has an enormous impact on a person’s health. When the pH of the body gets out of balance (too acidic), we may experience low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches and pains, and even more serious disorders. When the body is excessively acidic, vital organs and individual cells are subject to damage or destruction.

    Raising Public Awareness
    Most modern maladies are caused by prolonged exposure to a combination of negative lifestyles and toxic environmental factors, including junk food and malnutrition, pesticides, antibiotics, microwaves, chemical pollution of food, water and air, lack of exercise and chronic stress. These factors are further aggravated by the failure of modern medicine to recognize them as agents of dis-"ease" and death and the consequent failure to take preventative measures against them. more

    Tell the FCC: Use Public Airwaves for the Public Good  The future of the Internet is up for grabs. Large and powerful corporations are lobbying Washington to turn the World Wide Web into what critics call a "toll road," threatening the equitability that has come to define global democracy's newest forum. "The genius of the Internet was that it made the First Amendment a living document again for millions of Americans," says Robert McChesney, a media scholar and activist and co-author of OUR MEDIA, NOT THEIRS.

With the increase of killer viruses, mutated germs, super-resistant germs, and food contaminations, our only hope and defense, must lie within our own immune system." more
