Herbal Antibiotics By Mrs Vera West

Big Pharma antibiotics, as wonderful as they are, will run out in any sort of severe social breakdown situation, as has been seen in collapse situations in South America, such as Venezuela. Hospitals, even if open, simply run out of supplies. Even in the so-called affluent West, the Covid freak-out led to various made in China items, such as face masks, becoming as scarce as hen’s teeth. And, then in a collapse scenario, there may not be any more antibiotics produced. Hence the need for knowledge of herbal antibiotics and treatment, to supplement what resources are available in a grid-down situation.

I do not have any detailed knowledge about this topic, but do understand its importance, and the need to learn. Hence, I recently began getting books on the topic of herbal antibiotics, starting with Stephen Harrod Buhner, Herbal Antibiotics (2012). The book has an opening chapter giving another reason for herbal treatments, namely that bacteria have made evolutionary advances in developing resistance to many conventional antibiotics, primarily sped up by the overuse of antibiotics by humans and in factory farms, although it would have happened at some point in time anyway, as micro-organisms evolve. This problem is well recognised by orthodox medicine, including the World Health Organization:

“People across the world are alarmingly confused about the role of antibiotics and the right way to take them, and this ignorance is fuelling the rise of drug-resistant superbugs, the World Health Organization said on Monday.

“The rise of antibiotic resistance is a global health crisis,” WHO Director-General Margaret Chan told reporters in a telebriefing from the organization’s Geneva headquarters.

She said the problem was “reaching dangerously high levels” in all parts of the world and could lead to “the end of modern medicine as we know it”.

Given that, what is to be done? There is the horror scenario arising that various surgical procedures could become too risky, given that a short treatment could lead to an infection with a resistant bacterium, with long-term illness, or a quicker death. Thus, there is a need for preventive medicine to avoid surgery if possible by alternative treatments if they are available. Still, there are time-proven treatments for infected surfaces and surgical wounds, such as honey, even packing with sugar, to destroy the cell membranes of the bacteria. For many diseases the endotoxins produced by the bacteria are what kills one, and Buhner suggests using endotoxin scavenger herbs such as isatis, or even common ginger.

However, the core strategy is to increase the body’s natural immunity through immune enhancing herbs and micro-nutrients and vitamins, including selenium, vitamin C and D3, and the eight herbs for the immune system, which are: ashwagandha, astragalus, boneset, Echinacea, eleuthero, red root, reishi and rhodiola. I have only had experience with Echinacea, which I have personally found extremely helpful fighting colds and chest infections. But, the idea is to take all of these herbs to have a synergetic effect in strengthening the immune system. I will try this, to see how it goes. Clearly, with all diseases, some people survive even when exposed, and this was dramatically shown in the Japanese biological experiments upon prisoners in World War II. It was a healthy immune system that got them through.

Here I have skimmed over the basics, but Herbal Antibiotics address how hard case disease such as malaria, cancers, and even AIDs, can be dealt with. As a disclaimer, I cannot vouch for the reliability of the information in the book, having too little knowledge of the topic, but I certainly think the items may be worth trying, which I will do.
