Garlic is a Very Good Source for a Natural Antibiotic.
Garlic is well known a natural antibiotic and Natural Antibacterial
Garlic's antibiotic properties have been more extensively studied than some of its other reputed health benefits. Louis Pasteur examined garlic's use as an antibacterial back in the nineteenth century and showed how it killed bacteria under laboratory conditions.
Numerous modern studies confirm that garlic has definite antibiotic properties and is effective against many bacteria, fungi and viruses.
Some people have reported that even blood from a garlic eater can itself kill bacteria!
Researchers have compared the effectiveness of garlic with that of commercial prescription antibiotics. The result is often that garlic can be more effective as a broad spectrum antibiotic.
One significant advantage of garlic is that the body does not seem to build up a resistance to it as it does to many modern antibiotics. This also makes it potentially effective against hospital superbugs.
The antibiotic properties of garlic are a direct result of the allicin produced from raw, crushed garlic. This is destroyed by age and cooking - cooked garlic has virtually no antibiotic value although it still retains other benefits.
Wild Oregano - Oil of Oregano Natural Anti-biotic.
Echinacea has been called "the natural antibiotic" and is actually more effective than antibiotics when fighting infections. The majority of prescribed antibiotics only fight bacterial infections and don't have the capacity to kill viruses. For example, when a doctor prescribes an antibiotic for strep throat, he doesn't know what organism caused the sore throat unless a throat culture is ordered. If the sore throat was caused by a virus, antibiotics will have little or no effect. Also, antibiotics tear down and weaken the immune system.
Oregano has been shown to be effective in eradicating intestinal parasites in humans
