In this important book, Stephen Buhner offers conclusive evidence that plant medicines, with their complex mix of multiple antibiotic compounds are remarkably effective against drug-resistant bacteria. You will learn how antibiotic herbs such as aloe, garlic and grapefruit seed extract represent our best defence against bacteria such as Straphylococcus aureus, E-coli and Salmonella -- and how their use will ensure that, in the future, antibiotic drugs will still be there when we really need them.

From the Publisher:

Natural alternatives for treating drug-resistant bacteria
In response to mounting evidence of an increase in antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, scientists around the world are studying the effectiveness of using herbs such as garlic, echinacea, grapefruit seeds extract, licorice, onion, red clover, St. John’s wort, and others. In easily accessible language, Herbal Antibiotics presents all the current information about the major antibiotic resistant microbes and the herbs that are most effective in fighting them.

You will also find step-by-step instructions for making and using herbal infusions, tinctures, teas, and salves to treat infections.

From the Back Cover:

Stephen Buhner has arrived at (and shares with you, the reader) the frightening truth you won't find in the Journal of the American Medical Association: We are running out of weapons in the war on germs.

-- James A. Duke, Ph.D., author of The Green Pharmacy

The era of the penicillin miracle is over. Through our indiscriminate use of pharmaceutical antibiotics in hospitals and factory farms, humans have created "Superbugs" -- tenacious and virulent bacteria that develop resistance to solitary antibiotic compounds at an alarming speed.

In this empowering book, Stephen Buhner offers conclusive evidence that plant medicines, with their complex mix of multiple antibiotic compounds, are remarkably effective against drug-resistant bacteria. You'll learn how antibiotic herbs such as aloe, garlic, and grapefruit seed extract represent our best defense against bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and Salmonella -- and how their use will ensure that, in the future, antibiotic drugs will still be there when we really need them.
