										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some of the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">best natural antibiotics</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are found in your pantry.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hippocrates said, “Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.”  Never is this truer than providing what your body needs to fight infection.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Over the last several decades, over-use of antibiotics has reached an all-time high.  The result has been drug-resistant bacteria and “superbugs” that evolve faster than scientists can figure out how to fight them.  A future where bacteria are at the top of the food chain is no longer an impossible outcome.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Long before there were pharmaceutical antibiotics – developed in the 1940s – there were </span><strong>foods and herbs that helped guard against infection and disease</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on a daily basis.  Many of these natural defenders are still in use today with holistic healers around the globe.  </span></p>
<p><strong><em>These natural options are available to you right now!</em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instead of waiting until you get sick or discover that drugs don’t work on whatever strain of virus or disease you have, you can start building up your immune system in advance.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These foods and herbs haven’t lost their ability to fight bacteria.  </span><strong>Bugs do not become immune or resistant to them.</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">  From hundreds of years ago to our modern time, what worked then still works today.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They are known as “astringent” foods – they naturally cleanse your blood without harmful side effects or upsetting the delicate balance of good bacteria in your body. </span></p>
<h2><strong>Top 9 Best Natural Antibiotics</strong></h2>
<p><strong>1. Garlic: </strong><b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Raw garlic when crushed or chewed contains a compound called allicin – which has </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">similar properties to penicillin</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.  This superfood member of the onion family is antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-parasitic, anti-fungal, and antioxidant (mopping up free radicals that have been proven to cause cancer).  </span></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For more than seven millennia, it has been used internally and externally to treat mild illness to serious diseases.  Everything from inflammation to colds to serious infections is minimized and/or obliterated with the addition of garlic and for those who don’t enjoy the taste, there are supplements as well.  Check into “aged” garlic supplements for the best results.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Garlic is not only potent, it contains a host of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that are beneficial to total body wellness.  Not to mention the cost is pennies in comparison to doctor visits and prescriptions!</span></p>
<p><strong>2. Honey:</strong><b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Ancient Romans used honey on the battlefield to treat wounds and prevent infection.  Civilizations all over the world continue to consider honey one of the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">best natural antibiotics</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, antimicrobials, anti-inflammatories, and antiseptics known to man after thousands of years.  New Zealand’s Manuka honey has been proven to have the highest levels of antioxidants and curative powers.  </span></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An enzyme found in honey releases hydrogen peroxide</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.  This process helps your body fight infection and prevents the growth of bacteria.  Soothing to the digestive system, honey removes toxins from the blood and helps your liver operate more efficiently.  A great boost to the immune system, consider combining honey with cinnamon to strengthen your white blood cells! Raw, organic honey is the best option since most pasteurization methods kills the antioxidant effects.</span></p>
<p><strong>3. Cabbage:</strong><b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">There are sulfur compounds found in cabbage – a member of the cruciferous family that includes broccoli and kale – that have been shown </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">effective as cancer fighters</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.  What many people don’t realize is how much vitamin C is found in cabbage.  One cup provides 75% of what you need every day. </span></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Naturally antibacterial, eating shredded raw cabbage in your salad, as a side dish in the form of slaw, or drinking fresh cabbage juice (with honey added to sweeten) is an excellent way to improve digestion, prevent disease, and even manage your weight!</span></p>
<p><strong>4. Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE):</strong><b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> published a study that found grapefruit seed extract (GSE) was </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">effective against more than 800 forms of viruses and bacteria</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, more than a hundred strains of fungus, and many parasites.  </span></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">High in many antioxidants, GSE boosts immunity, alkalizes the body naturally, and aids in digestion by improving your beneficial gut flora.</span></p>
<p><strong>5. Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV):</strong><b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">The far-reaching benefits of daily doses of apple cider vinegar (ACV) include </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">antibiotic and antiseptic properties</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, naturally alkalizing your system, and can aid you in everything from managing your weight to lowering cholesterol and your risk of cancer.  </span></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A chemical-free astringent, ACV can be used topically to disinfect and sterilize.</span></p>
<p><strong>6. Extra Virgin Coconut Oil:</strong><b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">There is not enough that can be said for the benefits of coconut oil.  It has naturally occurring anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties and is packed with </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">antioxidants you can’t find anywhere else in nature</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.  </span></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use it to boost your immune system, balance thyroid, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels, and even improve brain function.  Safe to use internally and externally, coconut oil is one of the most versatile and unique gifts from Mother Nature. Stir a spoonful into your morning coffee for added energy and a clearer head all day.</span></p>
<p><strong>7. Echinacea:</strong><b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">With similar effects to garlic, Echinacea is well tolerated and able to </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">stimulate the immune system by naturally boosting infection fighters</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in your blood stream.  Native to North America, Echinacea has been used for centuries in tribal medicine to treat pain and sickness.  </span></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unlike garlic, this antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral solution is generally used at the first signs of illness and should not be taken for more than ten days.  It is available in liquid and capsule form.</span></p>
<p><strong>8. Fermented Foods:</strong><b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Probiotics are one of the most incredible discoveries in the last decade.  They work to boost and preserve the natural gut flora (good bacteria) found in your digestive system.  Research has proven that a balanced gut is one of the keys to overall wellness and cancer prevention. </span></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These good bacteria are so critical to your health that doctors now recommend a probiotic while their patients are on prescription antibiotics.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fermented foods are packed with antioxidants and microorganisms that your body processes far better than supplements.  Unpasteurized sauerkraut, apple cider vinegar, raw pickles, probiotic yogurt, and kim chi (a Korean cabbage dish) are excellent ways to improve the balance in your intestines.</span></p>
<p><strong>9. Oil of Oregano and Other Herbs:</strong><b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Continued medical research has shown that many tried and true herbal remedies work as well today as they did hundreds of years ago.  Essential oils created from herbs long determined to be beneficial to human health are rapidly becoming holistic medicine’s go-to item.  Mediterranean countries are the home of many of the most powerful, including oregano. </span></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oil of oregano is considered anti-microbial, antibacterial, anti-parasitic, anti-viral, and anti-fungal.  It can be used internally and externally in the treatment of wounds, respiratory problems, digestive upset, and even the common cold.  Packed with </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">antioxidants known as phenols and flavonoids</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, it heals but also strengthens your immune system. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The natural antibiotic properties of many herbs are only now being analyzed and confirmed by scientists around the world.  They represent natural alternatives to boost your immunity and add an excellent variety to your food preparation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Allspice, thyme, cinnamon, basil, rosemary, turmeric, cayenne, chili peppers, cloves, ginger, anise, mustard seed, and fennel are just a few natural herbs you should consider adding to your daily diet.  Some are available in essential oils that increase their healing power.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prescribed antibiotics kill all bacteria – both the good and the bad – leaving your body stripped of its natural ability to fight infection and ward off illness.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You are designed to heal yourself in most cases</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.  By adding these natural food medicines to your life, you can actively work to keep your body healthy and in balance.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These are some of the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">best natural antibiotics</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> but they aren’t for everyone.  It’s important to research and discover the right foods that work for your life.  Some are more of a risk than others…but so are prescription drugs. Read your labels and if you’re allergic, don’t include that food item!  That is counterproductive!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If the topic of natural, healthy antibiotics interests you, read more about them in my book </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><a href="https://mrsahotline.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>How To Survive in a World Without Antibiotics</strong></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">”</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> right now!</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pain is the number one reason people go to the doctor. Why? Doctors don’t know much about healing! They just dish out painkillers and don’t know how to solve anything. In fact a doctor is the last person I would go to, if I was in pain.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You only need to read about the opioid crisis to realize there is something very wrong with the orthodox management of pain. What you are seeing is corporate greed on display and plain, old-fashioned ignorance from the majority of doctors.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m very disappointed in my profession today. The average doctor is lazy, ignorant, unsympathetic and, yes, even abusive. I know of patients being shouted at by an oncologist, because they ask questions. That’s gross.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But nowhere is laziness and ignorance more on view than when it comes to pain. The doctor is writing a script for painkillers before the patient has even finished describing their distress!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yet, what is crazy is that this is called “scientific” medicine. I’ve often complained about this scam and derision before. If the doctor prescribes “scientifically proven” medication A and it doesn’t work, the patient is back in a week and so the doctor prescribes “scientifically proven” medication B. Maybe that doesn’t work either, so it goes on to Meds C.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is scientific about this jumping around? It’s not even a scientific method. It’s just muddling along, with guesswork and prejudice. It’s a joke to call it scientific or evidence-based (that’s another favorite scam label).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Of course it’s natural for painkillers to escalate. Because meds A doesn’t work, the doctor will prescribe “stronger” meds B, and so it goes on, until inevitably opioids (opiates) become the final choice. And then, when there is nothing stronger, the doctor starts upping the dose.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It still doesn’t work, so the patient takes more than is safe and maybe dies. Michael Jackson, to be fair, probably killed himself by taking too much propofol (a hypnotic drug used for general anesthesia, sedation and in veterinary medicine) along with lidocaine anesthetic and a bevy of other drugs. He went far beyond what was prescribed, that’s for sure.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But then the doctor, Conrad Murray MD, should have been alert to the fact that a mentally unstable patient was already doing that. A recording was heard in court that Jackson’s speech was much slurred. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But, hey, Michael Jackson is just a celebrity casualty—a bit like Elvis Presley—too big to refuse or argue with! His case is in no way sadder or more mournful than the other 29,000 US yearly opioid overdose deaths (over 120,000 for the world)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The question I come back to is: WHY? Why take pain killers? Pain is Nature’s way of calling attention to a problem. WHY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All pain ultimately is inflammation. Inflammation is a fiery condition of the tissues, featuring pain, swelling, redness and loss of function. There is ALWAYS a reason for pain. It needs to be investigated and cured (solved). The actual symptom of pain can be turned off by addressing the inflammation. Even omega-3s can work better than most drugs—because they tackle the inflammation—not by tuning out the pain.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">OK, a dental abscess can be miserably painful (ouch!) Take a few aspirin or paracetomol (Tylenol) till the dentist relieves the pressure in the bone, or antibiotics start to work, if that’s the way you choose to go. But if you had, say, an Avazzia Life microcurrent therapy device in your medicine cupboard (you should have!) you can encourage faster healing without the use of any painkiller or drugs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Opioids are definitely not needed. But of course the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t want you cured. They want the pain to go on and on and on… forever! Because that means you’ll be buying painkillers for the rest of your life!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Think of the profits on that!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you really want to avoid this crazy mismanagement trap, or get out of it if you are already in the loop, you should get a copy of my book on real pain management </span><a href="http://www.on2url.com/app/adtrack.asp?MerchantID=96247&amp;AdID=908409" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>The Ultimate Guide To Natural Pain Relief</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. You could save a lot of misery in your household.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this book you’ll learn health secrets you will NEVER hear from the average doctor. He/she doesn’t even know what Homotoxicology is, or neural field therapy, myofascial trigger points or Biopuncture. And don’t forget herbs, enzymes (bromelain and papain), cold lasers, prolotherapy and hypnotherapy, to name just a few.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As for acupuncture, there are still doctors out there, screaming it’s a fraud and doctors who claim it works should be jailed (oh, yes, that was on MedScape recently). That’s despite the fact that major operations are regularly carried out with no anesthetic, other than this “fraud” with needles!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Time for another book for your home library, perhaps?</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.on2url.com/app/adtrack.asp?MerchantID=96247&amp;AdID=908409" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="wp-image-12161 aligncenter" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-29-at-12.55.39-PM-220x300.png" alt="" width="400" height="546" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>But Wait!</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There may be other very important ways to beat inflammation you may not think of! For example, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">being overweight is highly inflammatory</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Did you know that?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Belly fat is inflammatory in nature, but the inflammation can strike anywhere in the body. I know people with miserable backache, needing to take painkillers (they suppose), where it just turned out to be diet and inflammation. The person took care, lost weight and the back pain was totally nixed. No more painkillers! THAT’S the kind of solution I advocate.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">See, if you are overweight it puts pressure on your joints. Not just the knees and ankles, though obviously they have to support the extra weight. That’s to miss the whole point of a dynamic skeleton. Med students are used to seeing the skeleton as a box of bits (I had one). From such a perspective it’s hard to picture the working skeleton as a dynamic balanced whole.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But that’s the truth of it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leaning back a little because of a big belly will cause your entire spine to creak in a way that is not natural. Women with extra large breasts are well aware of this leaning backache effect and sometimes seek to have their breasts reduced (sorry guys!)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thing is, it all hangs together. You eat RIGHT and you feel good, lose weight and eliminate pain. It’s a fab formula (deliberate echo of the Beatles there!) That’s where my masterpiece DIET WISE comes in. But I don’t want to be boring by being repetitious. I’d rather steer you towards my latest “<a href="http://www.on2url.com/app/adtrack.asp?MerchantID=96247&amp;AdID=908408" target="_blank" rel="noopener">science of weight loss</a>” book.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s not just another slimming plan (yawn). It’s about the understanding and management of healthy weight by being aware of the many factors which influence weight gain. It’s no longer enough to point to people who are fat and do “fat shaming”, I think it’s called, and suppose they are greedy guzzlers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All of us are subject to malign influences (largely from big business cartels, it has to be said) that make saying slim very difficult. In fact impossible, if you don’t know what you are up against. For example our environment is now heavily polluted by “obesogens”, foreign chemicals which promote obesity. Glutamates, which are added to our foods deliberately (to get us addicted), actually cause weight gain in their own right. By that I mean two people eating an identical diet, calorie for calorie, one with MSG in the food will gain weight, the other not.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then there are genes. It started with the so-called “fatso gene” (FTO) discovered 10 years ago but now there are a dozen other genetic influences. They can be tuned out—but you have to know how.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is a host of other factors, like methylation, that affect how your metabolism works. And, as a teaser, let me tell you there is one surprise biological factor that may be the MOST IMPORTANT influence of all in weight gain. You’ll have to get the book to find out what it is! But I’ll give you a clue: </span><em><strong>antibiotics are used by farmers to promote weight gain in cattle and other livestock…</strong></em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No prizes for guessing where I’ve been the last 2 weeks, when I tell you I took this photo!</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6342" alt="KSM Aust." src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/KSM-Aust..png" width="548" height="422" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px;">I think Sydney opera house is one of the four most beautiful and iconic buildings in the world—and I’ve seen the other three: the Taj Mahal, The Alhambra and the Mesquite in Cordoba (Spain). I finally got to see it in person and went to a performance of Don Giovanni. This picture I took from Sydney harbor bridge.</span></p>
<p>It filled my heart more than taking pictures of kangaroos, kookaburras and koalas!</p>
<p>I was in Australia to further my researches into human genomics, more of that imminently. While I was there I also held a seminar on the topic of my upcoming book—the re-write of Virtual <em>Medicine</em>—called <em>Medicine Beyond</em>. Lots more on that seminar coming up too.</p>
<p>Meantime, I find the world has been getting in a flap about Ebola. Several correspondents want my take on this. Sure&#8230;</p>
<h1 align="center">Ebola&#8230;NOT!</h1>
<p>The last Ebola outbreak in Zaire was NOT an epidemic (and absolutely not even close to a pandemic). The “outbreak” was caused by a bunch of irresponsible nuns/nurses using contaminated syringes, not auto claved properly. People had literally been killed by the hospital they turned to for safe medicine: as told by Richard Preston in his hair-raising scary book <em>The Hot Zone</em>, about the first Marburg and Ebola outbreaks (Ebola was brought to Washington in 1989 and could have run wild but thankfully it didn’t).</p>
<p>A fantastic book by the way; I bet his sales have gone up astronomically! Stephen King (the spook writer) said of this book, “<em>The first chapter of The Hot Zone is one of the most horrifying things I have ever read in my whole life&#8230;and then it gets worse</em>.” I have had a copy on my shelf since it was published in 1994.</p>
<p>What’s the real story in 2014? As usual, it’s a media feeding-frenzy of fear, lies, disinformation and mind-control. Governments want you to be scared, so they can tighten their grip to “protect” you. You are being brain-washed to feel you could likely die, except they “they” (and they alone) can save you. More drugs, more vaccines, more worthless medical tests and more population control hoaxes.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">It’s even being debated whether drugs that have not been tested for safety in humans should be used</span>.<sup>1</sup> What a money-making feast for Big Pharma that would be. If ONLY they could convince us that it’s really “necessary” to trot out these experimental substances, to “save lives”. They don’t even have to work and if the victims die…well, it was the Ebola virus that killed them, not the drugs!</p>
<p>Just to raise the scary level, it’s even being reported that a Saudi man “being tested for Ebola” has died and “if” there is a connection, he would be the first death outside of the four affected West African countries. Now read that media hog-wash again, carefully: it’s a man “being tested” for Ebola, not a victim of the disease at all. Still, the CDC report will hope you didn’t notice the tricky wording. That’s how they function.</p>
<p>What do we really know about these viral deaths? Not a lot. How many are Ebola? Not many I expect. What is the real cause of death here? A virus? Weakened immune systems? What does it really mean when we say somebody died of TB, for instance? We know people do not die of TB, unless they are weakened with malnutrition. You need to throw in some stress and pain too, like unrequited love, just as the Victorian authors told us.</p>
<p>So who are the victims of this supposed disease outbreak. As a most wonderful physician, Sir William Osler wrote: <strong>it’s more important to concentrate on the patient who has the disease than on the disease itself.</strong> That’s what we do in good holistic medicine: we treat the patient, heal him or her, and then the disease goes away, as if by magic.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here, as Jon Rappaport correctly points out, the native population in the “hot zone” areas of Ebola, Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia, has been weakened for a long time by decades of war, extreme poverty, malnutrition, starvation, contaminated water supplies, exposure to toxic industrial chemicals, vast toxic overuse of antibiotics, pesticides (some of them banned in other countries), expired and unrefrigerated medicines, vaccines (which, when given to people whose immune systems are already hanging on by a thread, can be lethal). <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter  wp-image-6349" alt="benefits of vitamin c" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/benefits_of_vitamin_c.jpg" width="560" height="374" /></p>
<p>Yet the total emphasis is on the Ebola virus. Who knows what the people (including health workers) in those areas have really been exposed to? A toxic chemical, for example, could cause explosive bleeding.</p>
<p>Vitamin C deficiency (scurvy) is characterized by bleeding from the mouth and intestines. That sounds like Ebola, doesn’t it? But never a hint that anything but the virus is causing the damage. We know that infections of any kind up the body’s thirst for vitamin C. As Frederick Klenner MD found out in the 1930s, you can give a sick patient fighting a fever 100s of grams of vitamin C and it STILL doesn’t spill over into the urine as unnecessary excess (implying the body needs HUGE amounts at times of such duress).</p>
<p>So even a mild viral infection can push a person into “functional scurvy” (a term I just made up). So wouldn’t you expect a really nasty one, like Ebola, could do it? So how many Ebola victims could be saved by pumping them all full of IV vitamin C, 100s of grams a day? Almost all of them, I should think.</p>
<p>How many will get life-saving IV vitamin C in this outbreak? None. It’s dirt cheap and Big Pharma makes no profit. They would rather sell their untried chemical garbage and make a killing&#8230;yes, I chose that pun deliberately.</p>
<h2 align="center">What To Do?</h2>
<p>Worse case scenario; there is an outbreak in your territory.</p>
<p>Don’t call me! Instead dose yourself heavily with vitamin C. If you read Frederick Klenner’s writings, you see his family and the neighbors all got great results from eating boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum)<sup>2</sup>, which he claimed supplied each person with 10 – 30 grams at a time and helped all his family survive the &#8220;Great Flu&#8221;, when all others around were dying like flies. It was made into a (very nasty tasting) tea. You can try Acerola berry and others.</p>
<p>Better to take vitamin C (ascorbic acid) as a supplement; you can achieve far higher doses. Warning: IGNORE THE ENDLESS MORONIC POSTINGS (all copied from each other) TELLING YOU SYNTHETIC VITAMIN C IS ASCORBIC ACID IS DANGEROUS.</p>
<p>Ascorbic acid is ascorbic acid, the chemical name for what your body likes and needs. Frederick Klenner, Linus Pauling, and me, all use and support synthetic vitamin C. I’ve seen it work miracles of recovery and idiots like this girl <a href="https://pm120.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/12942/04af9b6c452ec277/25406984/d1a684f9ff912b32" target="_blank">on this page</a>, a “home economist” who know NOTHING about health and medicine, should be banned from internet postings.</p>
<p>You need more than the 2 grams Linus Pauling says, in my view. Goats make themselves about 12 – 15 grams a day; why not us? I think at least 10 grams is healthy. You can do that easily with Thomas Levy’s Lipospheric C (<a href="http://www.LivOnLabs.com">www.LivOnLabs.com</a>) 1 sachet is equivalent to an absorption rate of about 10 grams taken orally.</p>
<p>A recent clinical trial by world-renowned vitamin C expert and pharmacologist, Steve Hickey, PhD, shows that Liposomal Vitamin C is able to produce serum levels of vitamin C nearly double those thought theoretically possible with any oral form of vitamin C. This astounding level of bio-availability not only dramatically increases the amount of vitamin C in the blood, but recent thermographic microscopy provides visible evidence that it also aids its entry into individual cells.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"> And, Of Course, Chlorine Dioxide Protocol</h2>
<table width="260" border="0" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="5" align="right">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Stay away from the loony rantings of Jim Humble (Jim Humbug, I call him). But no question he hit on something great. I give him credit for that&#8230;and a mile-wide megalomania.</p>
<p>These days you have governments and the FDA “protecting” you from this life-saving substance, once marketed as MMS. Now you have to buy it as hypochlorite powder and make your own. You add it to water, count out the drops and activate it with a mild acid, such as lemon juice of citric acid. I call it chlorine dioxide protocol, which is correct. “Magic Minerals Solution” is NOT correct.</p>
<p>You can get it from Amazon,<a href="https://pm120.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/12946/347bccaf38ca07b4/25406984/d1a684f9ff912b32" target="_blank"> as for example on this page</a>, which is linked from your Amazon shopping cart.</p>
<p>Meantime, let me quote brilliant investigative journalist Jon Rappaport one more time:</p>
<p>The majority of people who die on planet Earth in 2014 are dying from starvation, malnutrition, contaminated water, lack of basic sanitation, overcrowding, poverty, war&#8212;and the idea that medical drugs and vaccines will stem that tide is absurd and insane.</p>
<p>What I do know for sure is that if any deaths in the Western world do occur from this Ebola outbreak, it will be due to medical interference and incompetence, not nature.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Anyone Can Be Overloaded With Toxins</h2>
<p>Some would prefer to think they’re not.</p>
<p>If your health is not perfect, you’re habitually low on energy, have trouble keeping your weight down or your blood pressure in the normalrange, or constantly dealing with inflammation or pain, or indeed have any medical condition that is adversely affecting your health, then there’s likely to be a toxin, heavy metal, virus, bacteria, fungus, or parasite playing a part.</p>
<p>Mainstream medicine will typically respond by loading you up with additional pollutants, many of which indiscriminately kill healthy tissue while going after “the bad guys” to deal with the symptoms. <strong>Not so with chlorine dioxide</strong>. It only acts on anything harmful. The more you think about how quickly you could be overloaded with toxins and fall ill, the more you become aware that you need natural protocols like chlorine dioxide.</p>
<p>You can find this protocol and many more like it in my best selling book:<em> <a href="https://pm120.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/12944/c52a1908fcb2c6e0/25406984/d1a684f9ff912b32" target="_blank">&#8220;How to Survive in a World Without Antibiotics.&#8221;</a></em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s true that doctors have abused antibiotics for decades. But the really guilty party and the truly reckless fools are those in the agribusiness (big shot farmers, livestock merchants, food manufacturers and all their hangers on).</p>
<p>Did you know that 70% of all antibiotics in meat consumption goes, not to hospitals for administration to humans, but the farmers, to feed their livestock? That’s according to a careful study by the Union of Concerned Scientists — and that is the main reason we’re seeing the rise of pathogens that defy antibiotics.</p>
<p>While doctors are being urged not to use prophylactic antibiotics, even to protect human babies, farmers use them in huge quantities to protect baby calves, pigs and poultry. It’s worse than criminal. It’s INSANE.</p>
<p>It inevitably gives rise to resistant strains of bacteria, as you have learned. But these resistant, dangerous bugs don’t just hang out in the farmyard! <em>They turn up in our food supply! We swallow them!</em></p>
<p>According to Pultizer prize winning New York Times writer Nicholas Kristof, “Five out of 90 samples of retail pork in Louisiana tested positive for MRSA — an antibiotic- resistant staph infection — according to a peer-reviewed study published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology.&#8221;<br />
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/antibiotics_in_meat_alternative_doctor.png" alt="Antibiotics In Meat" width="500" height="402" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5828" /></p>
<h2>Antibiotics in Meat: It Starts With the Animal Feed</h2>
<p>Another recent study of retail meats in the Washington, D.C., area found MRSA in one pork sample, out of 300, according to Jianghong Meng, the University of Maryland scholar who conducted the study. </p>
<p>Regardless of whether the bacteria came from the pigs or from humans who handled the meat, the results should sound an alarm bell, for MRSA already kills more than 18,000 Americans annually, more than AIDS does. </p>
<p>A new strain called ST398 is emerging and seems to find a reservoir in modern hog farms. Research by Peter Davies of the University of Minnesota suggests that 25 percent to 39 percent of American hogs carry MRSA.</p>
<p>Public health experts worry that pigs could pass on the infection by direct contact with their handlers, through their wastes leaking into ground water (one study has already found antibiotic-resistant bacteria entering ground water from hog farms), or through their meat, though there has been no proven case of someone getting it from eating pork.</p>
<p>Thorough cooking will kill the bacteria, but people often use the same knife to cut raw meat and then to chop vegetables. Or they plop a pork chop on a plate, cook it and then contaminate it by putting it back on the original plate.</p>
<p>Yet the central problem here isn’t pigs, it’s humans. Unlike Europe and even South Korea, the United States still bows to agribusiness interests by permitting the nontherapeutic use of antibiotics in animal feed. That’s unconscionable.</p>
<h2>Would You Give A Healthy Animal Antibiotics?</h2>
<p>The peer-reviewed Medical Clinics of North America ran an article last year that concluded that antibiotics in livestock feed were “a major component” in the rise in antibiotic resistance. The article said that more antibiotics were fed to animals in North Carolina alone than were administered to the nation’s entire human population.</p>
<p>“We don’t give antibiotics to healthy humans,” said Robert Martin, who led a Pew Commission on industrial farming that examined antibiotic use. “So why give them to healthy animals just so we can keep them in crowded and unsanitary conditions?” The answer is simple: greed.</p>
<p>Legislation to ban the non-therapeutic use of <a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/antibiotics/yet-another-profound-argument-for-small-scale-farming/">antibiotics in meat and in agriculture</a> has always been blocked by agribusiness interests, a rich and very powerful lobby.</p>
<p>Louise Slaughter of New York, who is the sole microbiologist in the House of Representatives, said she planned to reintroduce the legislation this coming week. “We’re losing the ability to treat humans,” she said. “We have misused one of the best scientific products we’ve had.”</p>
<p>That’s an almost universal view in the public health world. The Infectious Diseases Society of America has declared antibiotic resistance a “public health crisis” and recounts the story of Rebecca Lohsen, a 17-year-old New Jersey girl who died from MRSA in 2006. She came down with what she thought was a sore throat, endured months in the hospital, and finally died because the microbes were too virulent for the drugs.</p>
<p>Again, let Nicholas Kristof speak: “This will be an important test for President Obama and his agriculture secretary, Tom Vilsack. Traditionally, the Agriculture Department has functioned mostly as a protector of agribusiness interests, but Mr. Obama and Mr. Vilsack have both said all the right things about looking after eaters as well as producers.</p>
<p>“So Mr. Obama and Mr. Vilsack, will you line up to curb the use of antibiotics in raising American livestock? That is evidence of an industrial farming system that is broken: for the sake of faster-growing hogs, we’re we’re empowering microbes that endanger our food supply and threaten our lives.”  </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Merck Betrays Even Caring Doctors With Their Lies and Fraud</h2>
<p>I think I’m most especially known for slaughtering sacred cows! (sorry to Hindus, of which I have many followers; this is a figure of speech). I killed a big one a couple of weeks ago, which seemed to upset a few (mostly those who were making money on public misconceptions).</p>
<p>Thing is, why are people following me, if all they want from me is to reinforce their existing prejudices? I don’t see the point. These are the people who run for cover when the blood starts running!</p>
<p>I’m supposed to be educational. That means sacred cows have a very short half-life!</p>
<p>Hey, you don’t even have to agree with me, anymore than you are required to agree with a college professor. The prof’s job is to stimulate thought and argument. Of course he (or she) has an opinion based on vast knowledge and experience—but that doesn&#8217;t mean it is, perforce, correct. </p>
<p>Most professors would welcome you speaking up and saying&#8230;that’s crap! Provided you have a good counter argument and not just a dyed-in-the-wool belief.</p>
<p>Just remember my admonition: beware the science from someone who is trying to sell you something. And that applies equally to people claiming to be holistic. There are scams in the holistic field, as surely as in orthodox medicine. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/mumps-vaccine-misleading.jpg" alt="mumps vaccine misleading " width="384" height="312" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5359" /></p>
<p>But where my thoughts are this week is that it isn&#8217;t always the person who is standing out front who is the liar. So the believers in Laetrile have clearly been influenced by the weird, convenient science peddled by the Krebs MD, father and son. They made it all so convincing. Sincere people still believe in the “natural” cancer cure nonsense.</p>
<p>Thing is, I can also feel keenly for the orthodox doctors, who might very well believe that, for example, the mumps vaccine is 98% effective, as Merck claim, and therefore consider it to be a valuable tool in the arsenal against disease.</p>
<p>This front line doctor (he or she) might innocently assume that the science, published in reputable journals, is valid and accurate and that, therefore, the FDA’s approval of the vaccine is reasonable.</p>
<p>Only when the sheer scale of Merck’s criminal executive activities and the machinations of the scumbag “scientists” who work for the company has emerged has it become clear that, among the many victims of the twisted lies, are caring and conscientious doctors who have been duped.</p>
<p>Heck, this was on such a breathtaking scale of falsehood, I could argue that even the viruses have been double-crossed!</p>
<h2>If you don’t know the full story. It’s this, in brief:</h2>
<p>In 2010, two scientists who had formerly worked for Merck, filed a lawsuit over Merck’s efforts to allegedly “defraud the United States through Merck’s ongoing scheme to sell the government a mumps vaccine that is mislabeled, mis-branded, adulterated and falsely certified as having an efficacy rate that is significantly higher than it actually is.”</p>
<p>They said Merck did this from 2000 onwards in order to maintain its exclusive license to sell the MMR vaccine and keep its monopoly in the US market.</p>
<p>In the complaint, the scientists outlined exactly how Merck manipulated the efficacy of results, in order to be able to say they had a 95% effective vaccine so that they could meet the goal of vaccine-induced “herd immunity” by 2010.</p>
<p>The problem, for them, was that the vaccine didn’t work; it had been diluted and altered from the original effective initial vaccine, derived from the five year old daughter of Maurice Hilleman, named Jeryl Lynn. This exact Jeryl Lynn strain has been in use in every mumps or MMR vaccine Merck has made since 1967.</p>
<p>But gradually, the organism has changed (as organisms constantly do), plus Merck were diluting it, to spin out their profits.</p>
<p>Bottom line: by the end of the 1990s, the virus was almost worthless and could not possibly achieve the desired efficacy requirements (95% or higher). So Merck’s “solution” was to deliberately cheat, lie and manipulate the figures.</p>
<p>The sheer scale of what was done has only become known through the whistle blowing of these disaffected scientists. It’s breathtaking in its criminal scale, effrontery and arrogant disregard of lives, health, integrity and science.</p>
<p>This is how Merck pulled off one of the scientific frauds of the century. They tested efficacy of the vaccine strain virus by vaccinating children and measuring the ability of their blood antibodies to neutralize the virus before and after the vaccine, by what is called plaque reduction neutralization (PRN) assay. To pass the test, it is necessary to have LOW pre-vaccination levels of antibody and greatly enhanced antibody levels AFTER the vaccination.</p>
<p>But since the results were not adequate, antibodies against mumps obtained from rabbits were added. The addition of rabbit antibody increased the efficacy to 100%. But that would reveal obvious foul play. So to hide this faking of results, the pre-vaccine “positive” tests were all recounted (and falsified). None of the post vaccine tests and none of the pre-vaccine negatives were recounted, just the pre-vaccine positives.<sup>[1]</sup></p>
<p>Apparently, Merck achieved the impossible by fabricating the “plaque” counts on the pre-vaccine blood samples, counting plaques that were not there. Plaques are areas on cell culture dishes where virus attacks cells, demonstrating viral activity and lack of immunity. </p>
<p>Because of adding the rabbit antibodies to the pre-vaccine tests resulted in true reduction in viral plaques, these had to be increased in count—which was done by the simple expedient of faking the count and counting plaques which were not there. The whistle-blower complaint says that 45% of the pre-vaccine samples recounted were revised in this way.</p>
<p>As a result the pre-vaccine count appeared to show little immunity and the post-vaccine count showed a significant rise. Voila! The vaccine works, Merck gets the contract and makes all the dollars (the kids get sick and some die but who the hell cares about them?)</p>
<p>Well, of course the evidence of faking was all there, to be seen by any competent and honest scientists (are there any such in the FDA?) So there was still a risk of discovery and… God forbid… losing the lucrative contract. Solution? Easy: the plates used to recount the pre-vaccine fake-positive PRN tests were simply discarded just before the FDA arrived to inspect them.</p>
<p>This effrontery to science is so outrageous, it counts as a crime against humanity. All the Merck executives and the bulk of their scientists should be charged and tried for murder. Oh, did I say? Merck denies any wrong doing…</p>
<p>This fraud would have gone unnoticed, except that two courageous scientists voiced their objection. According to them, they were threatened that if they called in the FDA, they would be jailed. They were also reminded of the very large bonuses that were on the way after the vaccines were certified.</p>
<p>If what these scientists claim is true, the net result of Merck’s questionable activity was lack of any real immunity, resulting in epidemics and outbreaks. It is known that the mumps component of all MMR vaccines from the mid 1990’s has had a very low efficacy.</p>
<p>According to one paper on <em>PubMed</em>: “The observed effectiveness of any MMR vaccination adjusted for age, sex and general practice was 69%&#8230;This is consistent with the results of other observational studies of mumps containing vaccines, but lower than the immunogenicity of <a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/vaccination/doctoring-vaccination-facts-instead-of-patient-care/" title="Doctoring Vaccination Facts Instead of Patient Care">mumps vaccines</a> reported by clinical trials.”[2]</p>
<p>What? You mean somebody could have been lying in the clinical trials?</p>
<p>Of course the proponents of vaccination simply claim that these outbreaks were caused by not enough people getting vaccinated or not enough doses. But this has already proven not to be so; it was a vaccination failure; the figures are clear. 51% of cases had been vaccinated at least once!<sup>[2]</sup></p>
<p>The proponents of vaccination will have none of these inconvenient authenticity problems; they “know” vaccinations works and it is flawless. And so Merck has increased its profits even more, by selling more of their criminally worthless junk for extra “boosters”, to combat the outbreaks they caused!</p>
<p>What a joke! As I said, my heart goes out to the doctors who believed all this crap science and many of whom still do; it’s simply unimaginable to most of the world’s doctors, that one of the bastions of the pharmaceutical industry would ever stoop to such shady tactics.</p>
<p>But remember Vioxx in which untold thousands of people died; estimates vary, upwards to 500,000. Journalist Ron Unz even points out that the death rate dropped suddenly for the entire nation, when that killer drug was taken off the market!<sup>[3]</sup> Merck lied and covered that up for profits too. Human life doesn’t count for these slaughterhouse profiteers.</p>
<p><strong>Did you know that Hitler invested heavily in Merck? </strong>It is a corporation founded on torture and human slavery. Maybe you didn’t know that?  Well, you do now. Another sacred cow chewing cud in the big meadow in the sky!</p>

<h2>Read The Basics About Mumps:</h2>
<p>Mumps is typically a mild viral disease, most notably featuring a swelling of the salivary glands below the ear. Although this is the most easily recognized symptom of mumps, it occurs only in about 30-40% of cases. Other patients may have non-specific symptoms. Up to 20% of infected individuals may experience no symptoms at all.</p>
<p>Possible complications include meningitis; orchitis (testicular inflammation) in males, which can lead to sterility; inflammation of the ovaries or breasts in females; and permanent deafness in one or both ears.</p>
<p>In the United States, cases of mumps have dropped by 99% since the introduction of the Jeryl Lynn vaccine in 1967. However, in recent years there have been several outbreaks, even affecting individuals who have been supposedly “vaccinated” by the Merck junk</p>
<p>Of course the claim is that it needs “more vaccinations” to “solve&#8221; these outbreaks.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These antibiotics can&#8217;t be patented, are cheap, plentiful and are Nature&#8217;s blessed gifts to us. You can access them anywhere, except perhaps the darkest polar nights. Can you guess what they are?</p>
<p><em>Fresh air and sunshine.</em></p>
<p>You probably think I&#8217;m joking. But fresh air and sunlight are among the oldest concepts in medicine. Florence Nightingale famously promoted them. What&#8217;s more, they were effective.</p>
<p>She slashed hospital death rates with a host of hygiene improvements &#8211; including throwing open the windows. &#8220;It is necessary to renew the air round a sick person frequently, to carry off morbid effluvia from the lungs and skin,&#8221; she wrote.</p>
<p>But less well known is the fact that<strong> &#8220;Nightingale wards&#8221;</strong>, as they became known, had their long sides south-facing to let in plentiful sunlight.</p>
<p>Soon the health benefits of sunshine became more widely recognized, particularly for people with tuberculosis, which in Victorian times caused around one in five deaths in our crowded cities.</p>
<p>Sunlight not only kills airborne bacteria and those on the skin, but also seems to kill TB microbes inside the body, probably by boosting production of vitamin D, which has powerful effects on the immune system.</p>
<p>By the turn of the 19th century &#8220;solar clinics&#8221; were in vogue, utilizing fresh air and sunlight as part of TB treatment. Hospital beds were wheeled on to balconies or conservatories with special glazing that allowed ultraviolet light to pass through.</p>
<h2>What Does Science Say?</h2>
<p>Actually, there&#8217;s a very interesting report in this week&#8217;s New Scientist, about two experimenters at the Porton-Down defense facility in the UK (for those of you living outside the UK, this is a well-known bio-warfare site).</p>
<p>Microbiologists Henry Druett and K. R. May had speculated what would happen if deadly pathogens were exploded over a major city: how long would the microbes remain viable?<sup>1</sup></p>
<p>To find out, they exposed E. coli to fresh air and were astonished that all viable microbes were dead within 2 hours, while controls kept in boxes at identical temperature and humidity largely survived.</p>
<p><strong>So Florence Nightingale was right!</strong> Open windows not only diluted pathogens but actually destroyed them. The term <strong>&#8220;fresh air factor&#8221;</strong> was so named; it&#8217;s the newest-oldest antibiotic!</p>
<p>The <strong>sunlight </strong>is no mystery either. As I said, we know it <strong>boosts vitamin D levels</strong> and that will favor the immune system over invaders.</p>
<p>Trouble is, these cheap and effective remedies fell out of favor, due to the rise of antibiotics and their manifest success in conquering infections.</p>
<p>Moreover, in the 1970s, energy conservation became a big issue. Open windows and circulating air are the kiss of death to economic heating. Everything was sealed up. We entered the era of <u>&#8220;sick building syndrome&#8221; (tight building syndrome in the USA).</u></p>
<p>Filtered air, it emerges, is deadly because it circulates pathogens in an unnatural and dangerous degree. As we get more and more crowded together in our cities and buildings, the dangers increase.</p>
<p>For instance, US soldiers stationed in the Saudi Arabian desert during the first Gulf war got more coughs and colds if they slept in air-conditioned barracks than if they bedded down in tents and warehouses.</p>
<p>Another study looking at Chinese college students found that 35 per cent of those who slept in poorly ventilated dorm rooms got an infection over the course of a year, compared with 5 per cent in rooms that were better ventilated.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a 7-fold decrease in pathogenic activity. It&#8217;s time to go back to the old ways. They DID work, as I have explained.</p>
<h2>Is There A Fresh Air Factor?</h2>
<p>The answer is <em>hydroxyl radicals</em>. These short-lived molecules are constantly produced in the atmosphere through reactions between ozone and water, catalyzed by airborne organic chemicals from plants. They kill bacteria but are (relatively) harmless to humans.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s also possible to produce them synthetically and I expect devices of this type will be widely available commercially, as the obvious failure of antibiotics looms larger and larger.</p>
<h2>The Sunlight Factor</h2>
<p>Science has the answer here too. We know that UV light is antiseptic. But it is also supposedly dangerous.</p>
<p>Drenching kids with UV light to boost their vitamin D levels was fashionable when I was a kid but soon went out of favor, as it was realized that UVB damages skin. Now we even worry about UVA.</p>
<p>But it has been found that the most useful wavelength is 207 nm. At this wavelength the UV is absorbed by protein molecules and therefore penetrates only a short way into human cells; it does not reach the DNA to cause mutations.</p>
<p>Microbes, on the other hand, are so much smaller than human cells that they completely absorb the light and are zapped. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-5317" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/alternatives-to-antibiotics.jpg" alt="alternatives to antibiotics" width="423" height="283" /></p>
<p>Now a lamp has been developed that emits only UV at 207 nm. Studies on cells grown in the lab have shown that this narrow band does not harm human skin tissue cultures yet kills bacteria, including MRSA.</p>
<p>Ive written about the use of UV technology (and plain blue light) <a href="https://pm120.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/6159/4b4b2b5a25482e58/11682807/14d6b215145c8ca3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">in my block-buster compendium of alternative antibiotics</a>.</p>
<p>You need to get it and read it. No use waiting till somebody is deadly ill. There are countless cases of people feeling a little ill at breakfast time and being dead before bedtime. That&#8217;s how fast bacteria multiply and do their deadly work.</p>
<h2>The Bacteria Social Network</h2>
<p>Also in my book <a href="https://pm120.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/6161/d169bd28457f9f55/11682807/14d6b215145c8ca3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&#8220;How To Survive In A World Without Antibiotics&#8221;</a>, I explained what we call quorum sensing in bacteria. It&#8217;s like microbial Facebook!</p>
<p>When enough bacteria are present and &#8220;texting&#8221; each other, they reach a critical trigger point and suddenly explode as pathogens.</p>
<p>In the pipeline now are &#8220;quorum-blocking&#8221; drugs, which, rather than killing bacteria, merely stop them from mounting such an attack; it&#8217;s like shutting down their Facebook accounts. Importantly, such drugs are probably less likely to trigger resistance than conventional antibiotics.</p>
<p>Another option is phage therapies, using viruses genetically engineered to destroy bacteria. Here the New Scientist journalist and editor got it wrong. According to them, such a strategy is some years away from reaching the clinic.<sup>1</sup></p>
<p>In fact, as I explain in my book, phage therapy is alive and well in the Eastern Bloc. Russia has a long and successful track record of using this kind of approach to microbes.</p>
<p>The drawback, as I explained, is that there is only one killer virus &#8220;phage&#8221; for any given pathogen. It will kill and eat its target bacteria all right, but there is no general phage to kill all or most pathogens, like penicillin does.</p>
<h2>The Future</h2>
<p>In the meantime, I think it pays to learn from the heroes of the past. Florence Nightingale slashed the death rate in the hospital of the Crimean War. Until she came along, soldiers were more likely to die of &#8220;hospital&#8221; than they were of dying of wounds on the battlefield!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s like today, when patients are very likely to catch a dangerous infection when they go to hospital. In the UK, 9% emerge with an infection they wouldn&#8217;t have caught elsewhere. In the USA, 100,000 a year die from such hospital infections.<sup>2</sup></p>
<p>That&#8217;s three times the number that died of HIV.</p>
<p>The World Health Organization has published a report urging all healthcare settings to use natural ventilation as far as possible, even referencing Florence Nightingale.<sup>3</sup> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5315" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nightingale-ward.jpg" alt="nightingale ward" width="580" height="181" /></p>
<p>In Mumbai, India, an old-style sanatorium is being refitted as a clinic for people with drug-resistant TB, making use of an open-air regime.</p>
<p>It has high ceilings and open balconies. We seem to have come full circle in hospital design.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Germs, bugs, viruses.  When you were a child, all of these were lumped together.  You didn’t necessarily know what they were but you knew they were <em>bad </em>for you.  If you suffered anything from an infected cut to a severe cold, you were taken to the doctor.  </p>
<p>You probably left with an antibiotic to take care of your troubles.</p>
<p>We’re a little wiser these days.  Now we know that all bacteria aren’t bad.  Many of those in your body are<em> actually necessary for your survival</em>.  If you’re a health-savvy individual, you may have a few containers of pro-biotic yogurt in your refrigerator at all times for better digestion – made possibly by “good” gut flora.</p>
<h2>Victims of the Cure</h2>
<p>Some viruses are being manipulated by science to battle diseases such as HIV.  Scientific cases of the attacker being used to fight itself.  Not all the news is good news.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, many of the antibiotics prescribed for decades are no longer effective because the bacteria they were used to combat are now immune. <strong> We’re becoming victims of the cure.</strong></p>
<p>Penicillin was discovered in 1928.  At the time, it was a miracle cure.  Before the discovery of the first antibiotic, anything from syphilis to splinters could and often did lead to death.  Once an infection entered the body, it spread rapidly.  </p>
<p>With the dawn of antibiotics, science believed it had finally conquered infection.  The general opinion was that humans could not survive without antibiotics.  That prediction held true for 33 years. </p>
<h2>The Evolution of the Superbug</h2>
<p>In 1961, the first case of what would become known as Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) was diagnosed in the United Kingdom.  MRSA, as its name suggests, is a staph infection that’s immune to methicillin, a potent antibiotic.</p>
<p>The dangerous truth is that MRSA isn’t the only “superbug” out there.  Looking to ESKAPE?  Don’t go to your nearest hospital.  ESKAPE is an acronym for Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, and Enterobacter.</p>
<p><strong><em>These are the most common organisms found in the standard hospital environment.</em></strong></p>
<p>Hospital-acquired infections kill at least 48,000 people every year.  That is <em>three </em>times more than the number of people who die annually from HIV. With the passage of time and the overuse of prescribed antibiotics, many organisms have developed an immunity to treatment.  </p>
<p>The same is true with old diseases such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis.  One night’s indiscretion once meant an embarrassing visit to the doctor and an injection.  Now, once again, it can mean a death sentence. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="margin-left: 9px;" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/can-you-survive-without-antibiotics.jpg" alt="no medicine" width="346" height="346" align="right"/></p>
<p>Even tuberculosis is reappearing on the medical horizon.  Resistant strains are popping up in various areas of the world.  Once curable, nearly 1.5 million people die from this ancient disease every year.  More than 500,000 of those infected suffer from a strain that is resistant to treatment.</p>
<p>Doctors are being more selective about antibiotics these days.  No longer does every frantic parent who brings in a child with a runny nose leave with an antibiotic prescription.  Regrettably, it may be too little too late.  </p>
<p>There is another source of antibiotic resistance.  It has only recently become a topic of serious discussion.  You may be surprised to learn that much of the fault lies on your dinner table.</p>
<h2>Antibiotics and Our Food Supply</h2>
<p>Were you planning to enjoy a steak tonight?  Perhaps some ham or chicken instead?  If the meat you purchased was not organic then you may be unknowingly ingesting mass quantities of antibiotics.</p>
<p>Today, more than 80% of antibiotics distributed in the United States are not given to humans.  Instead, they are being force-fed to healthy animals.  The logic is that antibiotics promote growth and creates healthier food.  </p>
<p>One small side effect is that it is increasing the cases of drug-resistant E Coli and salmonella.</p>
<h2>Science Will Save Us!</h2>
<p>We can look to the medical and scientific communities for answers.  Right?  They’ve done it before and they can do it again.  </p>
<p>You may not like the answer to that question.  </p>
<p>When Jonas Salk cured Polio in 1955, he made the compassionate choice to give it away for the benefit of humanity as a whole.  His selfless decision has improved the lives of millions.  </p>
<p>Only five major pharmaceutical companies are currently researching new antibiotics.  As of 2008, only 15 of the 167 drugs under development have the potential to treat organisms with multi-drug resistance.  None of them has been released to the marketplace.  </p>
<p>Why isn’t more effort being devoted to something that is a major catastrophe waiting to happen?</p>
<p><u>Sadly, the answer is money</u>.  For example, it is far more lucrative for the pharmaceutical giants to focus their resources on a new diabetic drug that a patient has to take once a day for the rest of their life.  An antibiotic that is a one-dose cure all isn’t going to put profits in their pockets.  </p>
<p><em>We have options.</em>  Can you survive without antibiotics?  Yes, you can. There are dietary choices you can make such as buying foods labeled <em>organic </em>or <em>antibiotic free</em> whenever possible.  </p>

		<title>Why No One Wants to Talk About Parasites</title>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A man died in California this week of a massive infection with parasitic worms that spread throughout his body, including his lungs. He was probably infected in Vietnam, one of the countries where this particular worm is found. </p>
<p>The worms, a species called Strongyloides stercoralis &#8211; had remained dormant, until his immune system was suppressed by steroid drugs used to treat an inflammatory disorder.</p>
<p>Strongyloides stercoralis species are most commonly found in tropical and subtropical areas of the world, although they&#8217;ve also appeared in the Appalachian <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="margin-right: 8px;" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/lung-worms.jpg" alt="lungs" width="424" height="283" align="left"/>  region of the United States. Typically, they infect people in rural areas such as Brazil, northern Argentina and Southeast Asia, and may currently infect as many 100 million people worldwide.</p>
<p>Compare that with lung cancer: less than 2 million.</p>
<p>Strongyloides is nasty. I covered it in my comprehensive life-saver manual, “The Parasites Handbook”. Between 80 and 90 percent of patients will die of this worm, once the infection has been released in the so-called &#8220;hyperinfection&#8221; stage, also known as disseminated Strongyloides.</p>
<p>This is when the adult worms are producing eggs, and the larvae emerging from the eggs are invading the intestinal wall and disseminating to multiple organs in the body. The rate of infection just accelerates and a “worm storm” is whipped up inside the victim’s body.*</p>
<p>Medication can help treat infestation with the worms, but it doesn&#8217;t help when the hyperinfection reaches an advanced stage.</p>
<p>This unfortunate man was being “eaten by worms”, even before he was dead and put in the ground. Rather ironic.</p>
<p>The trigger in this salutary case was steroids. The patient was given massive doses of steroids to treat a condition called temporal arteritis. This suppressed his immune system and released the parasites from natural control.</p>
<p>The man&#8217;s case emphasizes the importance of testing patients who might be infected with parasites, before giving them drugs to dampen the immune system. The problem is that most physicians are not taught about this disease. Their ignorance could cost you your life.</p>
<p>To get yourself informed about <a href="http://www.on2url.com/app/adtrack.asp?MerchantID=96247&#038;AdID=651714" target="_blank">parasites and its effects on your immune system, you MUST get my book “The Parasites Handbook”</a>. It’s the most comprehensive, written overview of the whole subject, in terms suitable and easily understood by the lay person.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago a former sweetheart (between wives!) told me her brother had a kidney infection. She was puzzled because he was usually formidably healthy and had never had anything like it before. It seemed just <em>“out of the blue.”</em></p>
<p>So I asked the one question that doctors <strong>NEVER </strong>ask (not even most holistic doctors) and that is:</p>
<p><em><strong>Did he have dental work just a few days before his kidney infection started? </strong></em></p>
<p>This is something absolutely vital to establish. The mouth is the source of some hideous germs and, in fact, oral sex is far more hygienic than kissing someone! You would worry more about your private parts becoming infected, than the mouth picking up something nasty (let’s not be bashful here).</p>
<p>Remember the words of the Bobby Gentry song: <em>What do you get when you kiss a guy? You get enough germs to catch pneumonia</em>&#8230;medically speaking, she’s bang on! <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="margin-left: 8px;" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/dentist-bad-news.jpg" alt="Dentist Giving the Bad News" width="425" height="282" align="right" /></p>
<p>But it’s worse. If you were to take the open infectious sores around gums and teeth in the average mouth and run them all together, you would have an area of pus equivalent to an open wound covering the back of your hand.</p>
<p>The trouble is, it doesn’t stay put. Whenever you chew food, it releases showers of bacteria into the blood. The harder you chew, the more bacteria are released. It causes a condition called <em>bacteremia</em>, meaning bacteria floating around free in the blood.</p>
<p>[Just thought of something; <em>thinking out loud here&#8230;</em>That might be a factor in why red meat can cause some health problems, without it being a saturated fat issue&#8230;we chew hardest on meat&#8230;I’ll get back to you on this, after a little research!]</p>
<p>The point about asking if the brother had dental work is that this intervention is the most hidden and pernicious source of bacterial contamination to the rest of the body.</p>
<p>It’s been a saying of mine for decades that dentists don’t know how many people they kill.</p>
<p>There’s no feedback; <em>how could they?</em> And doctors don’t realize they are looking at a dental work complication, because they don’t ask the vital question I just shared. So nobody is joining the dots and getting the full picture.</p>
<p><strong>Till now.</strong></p>
<p>The <em>bacteremia </em>following any kind of dental work, even just wiggling an abscessed tooth, can release showers of organisms into the peripheral blood. From there it circulates and can set up infections in the kidneys, adrenals, brain, lungs, bones and any other tissue.</p>
<p>Most notoriously, it can settle on damaged heart valves, a condition called sub-acute bacterial endocarditis (SABE). Clumps of bacteria form and cling to the valves, downstream of the blood flow (see image below).</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4714" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/dental.jpg" alt="dental" width="425" height="243" /></p>
<p>That’s bad enough; but chunks of bacteria can break off and go to the brain, causing a brain abscess (deadly) or even a stroke, due to blocking a vital blood vessel.</p>
<p><em>Dentistry can be very bad news!</em></p>
<p><em>The answer, in this case, was</em>: yes, he had been to the dentist for work just a few days before the kidney infection started up. Case closed!</p>
<h2>What Should You Do?</h2>
<p>Unless you have already had all your teeth out, listen up. You need to be aware of this problem. I know plenty of people who had teeth or gum problems, got a septicemia (dangerous form of bacteremia) and died as a result. <strong>Antibiotics couldn’t save them.</strong></p>
<p>Never go to a dentist for any reason, even just investigation, who doesn’t acknowledge this risk, talk about it and take action. Some dufus dentist can get you killed, as I have explained (actually, more likely to be younger dentists, since the older ones were shown lab specimens of this risk and know the dangers).</p>
<p>Always take huge doses of vitamin C (10 – 20 grams) if you can. That’s a lot orally but using Thomas Levy’s Lipospheric C formation, it’s only a couple of sachets (LivOn Labs). Always do this just as you go in for your appointment. In the restroom at the dentist’s is even better.</p>
<p>If you are up for major oral work and need an anesthetist, that could be an advantage: you can ask him or her to put up an IV line and run in vitamin C. 20 grams would be about right.</p>
<p>You might consider taking an antibiotic at the same time, as a blanket cover. Yes, there are potential gut flora complications but there are also significant risks, as I have told you.</p>
<p>Anyone with known heart valve problems, pre-existing kidney infections, hydrocephalus, known bad tooth abscess, suppurative sinus conditions or immune compromise should insist on antibiotics, as a matter of course.</p>
<p>Clean up the mess afterwards, with good probiotics and pre-biotics.</p>
<p>You can also consult my major reference work, <a href="https://pm120.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/4358/5faf30f81d16273b/9320256/8ef5a031988daef2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How To Survive In A World Without Antibiotics</a>, for suggestions for alternatives to antibiotics. I wouldn’t hesitate to set up a peroxide, ozone or UVB appointment for right afterwards.</p>
<p>And take coconut oil (great antimicrobial), manuka honey, drink calendula tea, and take Artemisia annua. Best of all: Quinton marine plasma. It’s all in the book!</p>
<h3>Why Reliance on Antibiotics Isn&#8217;t the Answer</h3>
<p>The comfortable world as we have known it for the last 60 years is coming rapidly to an end. Bacteria are deadly and the short period of time where we were able to control them is vanishing fast. Even as you read this, a new strain could be emerging somewhere, just a handful of resistant germs.</p>
<p>False reliance on drugs and pharma medicine has proven to be a weak strategy: the game is <strong>LOST</strong>!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to strengthen your immune defenses. But you also need to go on a short education course of learning what your antibiotic-alternative options are. You&#8217;ll be amazed just how many humble home remedies and plant-based solutions have been studied scientifically and demonstrated to work effectively.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came across this article about antibiotic resistant bacteria and couldn&#8217;t wait to tell you about it!</p>
<p>Just yesterday Fox News reported a class of fast-growing killer bacteria classified as an <strong>urgent public-health threat.</strong></p>
<p>According to a new report by the<em> U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)</em>, at least <strong>2 million people in the United States develop serious bacterial infections that are resistant to one or more types of antibiotics each year</strong>, and at least 23,000 die from the infections. <sup>1</sup></p>
<p>Modern antibiotics are not just failing big time; they are <u><strong>DANGEROUS</strong></u>.</p>
<p>We are seeing a steady increase in resistance rates and one reason for that is the over prescription of antibiotics, which causes the pathogens the opportunity to outwit the drugs that are ultimately used to treat them.</p>
<p>This diarrhea-causing superbug that is antibiotic-resistant is not only raising alarm in the US&#8230;</p>
<p>Last March the chief medical officer for England said antibiotic resistance poses a <em>&#8220;catastrophic health threat&#8221;</em>. That followed a report last year from the World Health Organization that found a &#8220;superbug&#8221; strain of gonorrhea had spread to several European countries.<sup>2</sup></p>
<p>Threats of these superbugs that are drug-resistant are ranked into three categories – but they are also based on health impact factors such as the total number of cases, the ease on how they were transmitted and if there are effective antibiotics available for treatment.</p>
<ul>
1. Urgent<br />
2. Severe<br />
3. Concerning</ul>
<p>Over the last decade there has been a huge increase in &#8220;urgent&#8221; cases and even the strongest antibiotics are not effective against it.</p>
<h2>My Thoughts&#8230;</h2>
<p>I&#8217;ve been saying for several years now that <strong>The Golden Age Of Antibiotics Is Over.</strong></p>
<p>We are all at risk now. However there are many great natural antibiotics that got eclipsed in the 1940s and 1950s. But they worked then and will work now and maybe one day could save your life&#8230;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s one of my pet sayings that the commonest cause of death is ignorance.</p>
<p>This is a topic on which you can&#8217;t afford to remain uneducated.</p>
<h2>Antibiotics Kill – So Take Control of Your Health Today&#8230;</h2>
<p>Lots of antibiotics kill. In my view it is unethical to prescribe them and you wouldn&#8217;t get any from me, unless the situation was already life-threatening. Even then, if it was me or my own family, I would rather rely on IV mega-doses of vitamin C than any antibiotic. 50- 100 gr. Of vitamin C is much more certain and quicker (works in an hour to two!) <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="margin-left: 5px;" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Antibiotic-Resistant-Bacteria.jpg" alt="Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria" width="424" height="282" align="right"/></p>
<p>The bottom line is nobody should be thinking &#8220;antibiotics&#8221;. We should be thinking of &#8220;alternatives&#8221;. And here&#8217;s the joke: there are 1,000s of viable alternatives. Hundreds of them work as well as antibiotics.</p>
<p>As I have mentioned, the Golden Age of Antibiotics is over. Bacteria have won the war, hands down, and that&#8217;s the truth.</p>
<p><em>Well, not quite.</em> There are, as I said, hundreds of healthy, safe and EFFECTIVE alternative modalities of treatment. <a href="http://www.on2url.com/app/adtrack.asp?MerchantID=96247&#038;AdID=648252" target="_blank">You need to learn about them and learn NOW</a>, not when somebody is in bed with life-threatening pneumonia (non-hospital pneumonia, which is the 4th commonest cause of death in the UK; 6th commonest in the USA).</p>
<p>I suspect those of you who haven&#8217;t yet bought my eBook <em>&#8220;How To Survive In A World Without Antibiotics&#8221;</em> are still living in a dream world, thinking you are OK.</p>
<p>Infectious diseases can strike anywhere and move terrifyingly fast. We are going back to the old days, when bacterial infections can kill within hours.</p>
