Herbal Antibiotics: Natural Alternatives for Treating Drug-Resistant Bacteria

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.
STEPHEN HARROD BUHNER is one of the foremost voices of our time for the return to an ecological foundation of healing. A national lecturer on herbal medicine and adjunct faculty member at the Rocky Mountain Center for Botanical Studies, he is also the author of Sacred Plant Medicine; One Spirit, Many Peoples; and Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers.
