The Antibiotic Crisis: Antidotes and Alternatives

The public has been given mixed messages about antibiotics. Many people have regular and sometimes constant courses prescribed. In many cases the benefits shouldn't be questioned - these drugs save lives. However there are side-effects and the public needs to be warned. The author discusses:

the general picture, the issues (such as the highly topical 'superbug' - antibiotic resistant bacteria), and the future
antibiotic alternatives - including the herb echinacea which is one of the most popular over-the-counter herbal supplements
natural ways to counteract side-effects when you need to have a course of antibiotics
how antibiotics affect your own 'friendly bacteria', (gut flora), bowel function, allergy repercussions and the build up of toxic residues.
Regular courses of antibiotics (prescribed with far too much frequency by many GPs for acne, for example) lead to hostile bacteria or candida albicans (a yeast).
Book includes an anti-candida diet and methods to fight infection such as herbal and vitamin therapy, hydrotherapy and fasting
