(NaturalNews) Eventually antibiotics are going to be seen as one of the worst things to ever come out of pharmaceutical science because in the end, they have made us only weaker
in the face of ever increasingly strong super bugs that are resistant
to all the antibiotics doctors have at their disposal. When we look at
how deep the rabbit hole goes with antibiotics, we will get sick in our
souls. Antibiotics have fulfilled their anti–biotic anti-life role
leaving a long trail of death and suffering in the wake of their use.

Diseases include measles, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, pneumonia, influenza, whooping cough, diphtheria and polio. All were in decline for several decades before the introduction of antibiotics or vaccines - Dr. Lawrence Wilson.

Antibiotics do not kill yeast. Many women find after taking antibiotics, they get vaginal yeast infections (because their normal bacterial balance has been lost). Antibiotics
bring on fungal and yeast infections thus will eventually be seen as a
major cause of cancer since more and more oncologists are seeing yeast and fungal infections
as an integral part of cancer and its cause. With upwards of 40 percent
of all cancers thought to be involved with and caused by infections,
the subject of antibiotics and the need for something safer, more
effective and life serving is imperative.

It may be some time before we really enter the predicted "post antibiotic era" in which common infections are frequently untreatable - Dr. Marc Lipsitch et al. (Harvard School of Public Health).

Antibiotics kill all bacteria in the body, including the ones we need.

An antibiotic is a substance produced by certain bacteria or fungi that kills other cells or interferes with their growth. In nature, these substances help some microbes survive by limiting the multiplication of other microbes that share the same environment. Antibiotics that attack pathogenic (disease-causing) microbes without severely harming normal body cells are useful as drugs but there does not seem to be any from the pharmaceutical companies
that do not do damage. Dr. Lisa Landymore-Lin wrote all about this in
her book Poisonous Prescriptions asking, 'Do Antibiotics Cause Asthma
and Diabetes?' We are now beginning to question the role of antibiotics
as a cause of cancer since they do lead
to pathogen overgrowth especially in the area of yeast and fungi. Chris
Woollams writes, "It is estimated that 70 per cent of the British
population have a yeast infection. The primary cause of this is our love
of antibiotics. Swollen glands? Take antibiotics. Tonsillitis? Take
antibiotics."

Two studies in the recent past have shown an association between the use of antibiotics with higher incidence of breast cancer.

In one study the increased risk was small, and the importance of the link has been played down by UK
breast-cancer experts, but the findings add weight to recent studies
that have found links between antibiotics and other diseases. In the
past few years, heavy antibiotic use has been linked to the inflammatory
bowel disorder, Crohn's disease, and to children developing allergies such as Hay fever and asthma. And as we shall see below, antibiotics play a hidden role in autism and other neurological diseases.

The Journal of the American Medical Association has reported a study on 10,000 women in which women who took over 500
days of antibiotics in a 17 year period (dubbed 25 plus doses) had twice
the risk of breast cancer as those that took none at all. Even women
taking just one had a statistical risk increase to 1.5 times.

The consequences of resistance in some bacteria can be measured as
increases in the term and magnitude of morbidity, higher rates of
mortality, and greater costs of hospitalization for patients infected with resistant bacteria - Dr. Marc Lipsitch et al.

Broad-spectrum antibiotics are undiscriminating: in addition to "bad bacteria," they
also kill healthy bacteria which normally live in the intestines and the
vagina, and which are a necessary part of the indigenous flora to keep
the body healthy. When the "good" bacteria are killed with antibiotics,
then yeast, which is part of the normal flora of the body, can begin to
overgrow because the antibiotics have altered the body's healthy terrain
(internal ecological balance) allowing the yeast to hyperproliferate
and cause many far-reaching, toxic symptoms.

But modern medicine so far continues to believe that antibiotics have played an important role in staving off bacterial infections since Alexander Fleming first discovered them in 1927. Many doctors are finally beginning to see that the effectiveness of these so-called
miracle drugs has waned as some of the very bacteria they are meant to
control have been mutating into new forms that don't respond to
treatment. Many medical experts blame this phenomenon on both the misuse
and overuse of antibiotics in recent years in both human medicine and
in agriculture.

According to several studies, obstetricians and gynecologists write 2,645,000 antibiotic prescriptions every week. Internists prescribe 1,416,000 per week. This works out to 211,172,000 prescriptions annually in the United States, just for these two specialties. Pediatricians prescribe over $500
million worth of antibiotics annually just for one condition, ear
infections. Yet topical povidone iodine (PVP-I) is as effective as topical ciprofloxacin, with a superior advantage of having no in vitro drug resistance and the added benefit of reduced cost of treatment.

According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, taking properly prescribed medical drugs was listed as the third leading cause of death in the U.S. Antibiotics
were listed in this category because antibiotics can be deadly.

A 17-year-old St Margaret's College student in New Zealand has exposed
multiple antibiotic-resistant bugs in fresh chicken sold in
supermarkets? Jane Millar's discovery of a range of resistant bacteria
in chickens that
could compromise antibiotic treatment in humans is an important finding
that the bacteria have developed resistance to antibiotics not used in
the poultry industry but important for treating serious infections in humans.

We can create resistance to medically important antibiotics by using antibiotics that are presumably safe in agriculture - Jane Millar.

Jane bought six fresh chickens - free-range, barn-raised and organic – from a
supermarket. She took samples from each bird and grew bug colonies,
which she used to test different antibiotics. Apramycin is an antibiotic
used sparingly by the New Zealand poultry
industry to treat infections. The bacteria of two chickens tested
resistant to apramycin. They also proved resistant to another two
antibiotics from the same family - gentamicin and tobramycin - used for
serious human infections. Gentamicin is not used by the poultry
industry; tobramycin is restricted to human use only.

A recent risk assessment study commissioned by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has estimated that about 8,000-10,000 persons in
the U.S. each year acquire fluoroquinolone-resistant Campylobacter
infections from chicken and attempt to treat those infections with a
fluoroquinolone.

Every day, new strains of bacteria, fungi, and other pathogenic microorganisms are becoming resistant to the
antibiotics that once dispatched them with extreme prejudice.

"We know that antimicrobial resistance will follow antimicrobial use as
sure as night follows day," said Dr. John A. Jernigan, deputy chief of
prevention and response from the Center of Disease Control. "It's just a
biological phenomenon." It turns out that the indiscriminate killing of
harmless microbes damages the body in complex ways we are only
beginning to understand. Powerful antibiotics introduced into the
complex environment in our intestines cause mayhem, much like a series
of bombs tossed into a market square. Antibiotic resistance is a
widespread problem, and one that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention calls "one of the world's most pressing public health problems."

One of the deadliest germs is a staph bacteria called M.R.S.A., short for methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus, which lives harmlessly on the skin but causes
havoc when it enters the body. Patients who do survive M.R.S.A. often
spend months in the hospital and endure several operations to cut out infected tissue. Hospitalizations associated with a drug-resistant
form of a Staphylococcus bacterium doubled over six years in the U.S.
to nearly 280,000 cases in 2005. The death toll rose from 4,700 in 1999
to about 6,600 in 2005. It estimated that 94,000 Americans suffered
invasive MRSA infections in 2005 and that about 19,000 died.

One out of every 20 patients contracts an infection during a hospital stay
in the US. Hospital infections kill an estimated 103,000 people in the
United States a year, as many as AIDS, breast cancer and auto accidents
combined. The vast majority of lethal cases occur in hospitals
and nursing homes, where open wounds and punctures provide the
opportunistic staph a ready path to the bloodstream and organs. The
dangers of infection are worsening as many hospital infections can no
longer be cured with common antibiotics.

More than half the time, doctors and other caregivers break the most fundamental rule of hygiene by
failing to clean their hands before treating a patient.

"Recently there has been an alarming epidemic caused by community-associated
(CA)-MRSA strains, which can cause severe infections that can result in
necrotizing fasciitis or even death in otherwise healthy adults outside
of healthcare settings," is the word coming from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) research team, headed by Dr. Michael Otto.

Necrotizing fasciitis is the so-called flesh-eating disease that can destroy
healthy tissue and even kill patients. The team found that some strains
on MRSA secrete a compound called phenol-soluble modulin or PSM. It
attracts immune system
cells called neutrophils, the researchers found, and then blows them up
in a process called lysis. Neutrophils are key immune cells involved in
clearing bacterial infections, so destroying them would allow the
bacteria to thrive almost unmolested.
"In the United States, CA-MRSA is now the cause of the majority of infections that result in trips to
the emergency room. It is unclear what makes CA-MRSA strains more
successful in causing human disease compared with their
hospital-associated counterparts," they add.

When the peaceful activities of a normal microbial population are disrupted, malevolent
bacteria may take full advantage of the opportunity to strike. The
intestinal infection C. difficile colitis, now rampaging through
hospitals around the world, is one of the worst such complication of
antibiotic use.

Clostridium difficile was first recognized as a hospital microbe in 1978. By 1996, it had increased to 31 cases per
100,000 people discharged from U.S. hospitals. In 2003, the most recent
year for complete statistics, prevalence had risen to 61 per 100,000. C.
diff is part of the natural flora, or bacteria, in the colon. "We're
seeing all of the warning signs that this is the next MRSA," said former
New York Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey, founder of the Committee to Reduce
Infection Deaths, a Manhattan-based nonprofit. "It spreads like wildfire
in hospitals."

Clostridium difficile is a spore-forming toxin-producing bacterium that is overtaking peoples' large intestines
from which it mounts an attack on the bloodstream. Like MRSA,
Clostridium difficile has become multi-drug-resistant. Although once a
bacterium that mostly affected elderly, hospitalized patients, a bolder
strain is crippling the robust. In emergency efforts to save some
patients' lives surgeons remove the entire large intestine to prevent overwhelming infection.

One case had been treated by a dermatologist for an ingrown hair on his
back and prescribed an antibiotic. He took only a few pills, but quickly
became ill. Based on what his doctors told him, the short course of
antibiotics proved sufficient to destroy virtually all the natural
bacteria in his intestine - except C. diff, which was freed to ravage
his colon.

Frequently, stethoscopes, blood-pressure monitors and other equipment are contaminated with live bacteria. Yet doctors and
nurses almost never clean the stethoscope before listening to a
patient's chest.

"It strikes precisely those hospitals which are more 'high-tech', and handle more serious illnesses. Applying more
disinfectant is not the answer; some strains of germs have actually been
found thriving in bottles of hospital disinfectant! The more
antibacterial chemical 'weapons' are being used, the more bacteria are
becoming resistant to them," writes Dr. Carl Wieland.

Health-care officials are increasingly concerned about emerging new forms of drug-resistant Tuberculosis (TB). According to the WHO, outbreaks of drug-resistant tuberculosis are showing up all over the
world and threaten to touch off a worldwide epidemic of virtually
incurable tuberculosis. An October 1997 survey
by the WHO, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the
International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease estimates
that 50 million people are infected with a strain of TB that is
drug-resistant. Many of those are said to carry multi-drug-resistant
tuberculosis, incurable by two or more of the standard drugs.

New DNA technology has found hundreds of previously unrecognized species in
the traditional stomping grounds of the mouth and intestine, and traces
of bacteria even in tissues previously thought to be sterile.

Lessons from Autism

Medical scientists at Arizona State University tell us that antibiotic use is known to almost completely inhibit excretion of mercury in rats due to alteration of gut flora. Thus, higher use of oral
antibiotics in the children with autism may have reduced their ability
to excrete mercury. Higher usage of oral antibiotics in infancy may also
partially explain the high incidence of chronic gastrointestinal
problems in individuals with autism.

Many physicians are unaware of lasting adverse effects caused by routinely prescribed medications
such as antibiotics. Antibiotic therapy for minor colds and runny noses
is a common practice. People routinely receive multiple courses of
broad-spectrum antibiotics throughout life or are injected with
long-acting corticosteroid medicine for joint or muscle pain.
Once established, sub-clinical colonization with yeast in the body may
persist unrecognized for many years. Antibiotics, such as tetracycline,
can greatly increase yeast in the colon after only a few days.

The extensive use of antibiotics will make the condition of Candida much
worse because it reduces heavy metal excretion, which is a food source for the yeast like organism and also killing the beneficial bacteria at the same time.

Normally, candida albicans lives peacefully in our intestines and elsewhere, in harmony
with other flora that keep the yeast in check. Take an antibiotic and
all this changes. By suppressing the normal flora, candida takes over
and problems begin. In its mild form, the result is diarrhea or a yeast
infection. Dr. Elmer Cranton says that, "Yeast overgrowth is partly
iatrogenic (caused by the medical profession) and can be caused by
antibiotics and cortisone medications. A diet high in sugar also
promotes overgrowth of yeast. A highly refined diet common in
industrialized nations not only promotes growth of yeast, but is also
deficient in many of the essential vitamins and minerals needed by the immune system. Chemical colorings, flavorings, preservatives, stabilizers, emulsifiers, etc., add more
stress on the immune system."

Children with autism had significantly (2.1-fold) higher levels of mercury in
their baby teeth but similar levels of lead and similar levels of zinc.
Children with autism also had significantly higher usage of oral
antibiotics during their first 12 to 36 months of life. Reporting in the
July 11, 2007 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association,
researchers say the use of antibiotics as prevention boosts risks for
drug resistance while doing nothing to shield kids from future urinary tract infections
(UTIs). Giving antibiotics to prevent recurrent urinary tract
infections in small children not only will not help but will hurt these
children. Prior use of antibiotics to prevent infection did boost the
likelihood of developing a drug-resistant infection by nearly 7.5 times.
Indeed, 61 percent of recurrent urinary tract infections were caused by
a pathogen with antibiotic resistance, the researchers pointed out.

In a 2005 study, the antibiotic Augmentin TM has been implicated in the
formation of autism. The study strongly suggests the possibility of
ammonia poisoning as a result of young children taking Augmentin.
Augmentin has been given to children since the late 1980's for bacterial
infections.

Many physicians seem to be unaware that birth control pills comprised of the hormones estrogen and progesterone can
also make the body more susceptible to fungal infections. If antibiotics
are prescribed, it acts as a double whammy to ensuring a fungal
infection will take hold by diminishing the protective bacteria in the
intestines. Many pregnant women seek medical treatment for minor
problems and are indiscriminately given antibiotics and this begins a
long decline into problems that are complicated at each turn by OBGYN
doctors at birth and by pediatricians who just love to poison children
with the toxic chemicals found in vaccines. In many places in the world they still give mercury shots at birth.

Microforms poison us with their waste products.

The waste products are acetylaldehyde, uric acid, alloxin, alcohols, lactic acid, etc.

Antibiotics may be to blame for hundreds of children developing autism after having
the controversial MMR jab. More than two-thirds of youngsters with the
condition received four or more antibiotics in their first year, a
British survey has revealed. It is thought the drugs weakened their
immune systems, leaving them unable to withstand the impact of the
triple jab. Allopathic medicine has been stubborn and slow to look at
its abusive use of antibiotics. It's the same with vaccines,
the holy grail of medicine. But with last-line-of-defence antibiotics
failing on increasingly drug-resistant superbugs and young children's
systems being destroyed by them you would think they would wake up and
find some alternatives.

Antibiotics are mostly derived from fungi and are therefore classified as mycotoxins. Mycotoxins Are Poisons.

Iodine - a Pillar Against Infections

Iodine offers a serious and potent replacement for much of the antibiotics
that are literally destroying people's lives and can be used safely with
children. Parents, who chose not to dose their kids with dangerous
vaccines will be glad to know that iodine can be very effective against a
host of viral infections that medical officials insist threaten
children.

Though it kills 90 percent of bacteria on the skin within 90 seconds, its use as an antibiotic has been ignored. Iodine
exhibits activity against bacteria, molds, yeasts, protozoa, and many viruses;
indeed, of all antiseptic preparations suitable for direct use on
humans and animals and upon tissues, only iodine is capable of killing
all classes of pathogens: gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria,
mycobacteria, fungi, yeasts, viruses and protozoa. Most bacteria are
killed within 15 to 30 seconds of contact.

Iodine is by far the best antibiotic, antiviral and antiseptic of all time - Dr. David Derry

Dr. Derry says that iodine is effective "for standard pathogens such as
Staphylococcus, but also iodine has the broadest range of action, fewest
side effects and no development of bacterial resistance." There is a
world of difference between using an antibiotic – anti-life substance –
and an antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal substance like iodine, which
is life serving because it is a basic and most necessary nutritional
substance.

Iodine kills single celled organisms by combining with the amino acids tyrosine or histidine when they are exposed to the
extra-cellular environment. All single cells showing tyrosine on their
outer cell membranes are killed instantly by a simple chemical reaction
with iodine that denatures proteins. Nature and evolution have given us
an important mechanism to control pathogenic life forms and we should
use it and trust it to protect us in ways that antibiotics can't.

"My husband Ron had a small infection at the base of the nail. This very
quickly turned nasty and our doctor agreed it looked like gout. Three
weeks later Ron heard back from his Doctor who was in a mad panic saying
Ron had septicemia. On seeing the surgeon that same day the surgeon
wanted to go in and cut the finger open end for end and look at the
finger and that she would probably have to take it off anyway. Finally
the Nascent Iodine we ordered arrived (my husband was refusing to take
antibiotics) He started on quite a hefty dose of 15 drops while
continuing to apply magnesium chloride transdermally."

"Two days after starting the iodine there was feeling starting to regenerate
and pain again in the finger and Ron thought it looked less discolored.
Then the following day the swelling had started to go down and the
normal healthy pinkness was returning at the base of the finger. Over a
period of days it has progressively improved with no other treatment
than the iodine and magnesium chloride. We also then made a poultice
with a mixture of comfrey, honey and garlic for a few days, then the Nascent Iodine dripped into a goldenseal ointment."

Magnesium chloride is the only form of magnesium known to have anti-infectious
properties. When it comes to fighting infections, iodine and magnesium
chloride are a dynamic duo that should not be overlooked by allopathic
or naturopathic physicians or by anyone else. I talked a few months ago
to a missionary in Africa who was using iodine (in the atomic or
detoxified form) to successfully treat malaria. My own children have
recently had bad coughs and it is iodine, not dangerous over-the-counter
cough medicines I reach for.

The feeling of security for a parent comes from administering substances like iodine (Nascent and
other forms) and magnesium chloride (natural forms) to their children.
Yes in dire emergency we would still use an antibiotic when fever
is high and all else has failed but until that kind of critical point,
iodine, backed up by magnesium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and even clay, is our main line of defense against a full range of pathogens.

Determining what is an appropriate use of an antibiotic is a judgment call in which
cultural, social, psychological, and economic factors play at least as
great a role as clinical and epidemiological considerations - Dr. Marc Lipsitch et al.

The way to combat antibiotic resistance is not bigger, better, stronger
antibiotics but, rather, no antibiotics at all. Instead, other molecular
weapons are
available with the ability to disable bad germs without bothering good
ones. Iodine is the ideal broad spectrum antibiotic that is not an
antibiotic - it is not against life. Not against human life that is but
you can hear the little pathogens screaming as high enough levels of
iodine fan out through the system. Meaning all the viruses, bacteria,
yeasts and molds that are threatening us are threatened with instant
death when iodine is used orally to fight infection. It's hard to make a
mistake with iodine but with pharmaceutical antibiotics we are playing
at the crap table hoping our choice of which one to use works against
the pathogen that is actually threatening a person.

Infection depresses levels of vitamins B6 and C.

"The right dose of Vitamin C will stop every infection in its tracks without needing to use antibiotics" - Dr. Gary Gordon.

Another reason to avoid antibiotics, except in the most dire emergencies, is
that they interfere with the absorption of many vitamins and minerals, leading to their deficiencies. Deficiencies in these nutrients can set the stage for increased susceptibility to more infections.

Following is a list of the Drug/Substance and the Nutrients which are depleted by that substance:

* Antibiotics - (Nutrients Depleted) Vitamin A, B-12, C, E, K, Biotin, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium

* Chelators - Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Zinc

* Anticonvulsants - Vitamin B-2, B-12, C, F, K, Folic Acid, Calcium, Magnesium

* Antidiabetics (Oral) - Vitamin B-2, B-12, C, D, Folic Acid

* Antihistamines - Vitamin C

* Aspirin - Calcium, Folic Acid, Iron, Potassium, C, B Complex

"When I was finally discharged from hospital, I still had a strain of
supergerm colonizing my body. Nothing had been able to get rid of it,
after months in hospital. However, I was told that all I had to do on
going home was to 'get outdoors a lot, occasionally even roll in the
dirt, and wait.' In less than two weeks of this advice, the supergerms
were gone. Why? The reason is that supergerms are actually defective in
other ways, as explained. Therefore, when they are forced to compete
with the ordinary bacteria which normally thrive on our skin, they do
not have a chance. They thrive in hospital because all the antibiotics
and antiseptics being used there keep wiping out the ordinary bacteria
which would normally out compete, wipe out and otherwise keep in check
these 'superwimps,'" wrote Dr. Carl Wieland

Interestingly enough Dr. Weston Price, who studied the diets and health of many primitive societies during the early 20th century, found that
many primitive people would eat food that has been dipped in water
dissolved with clay – in order to prevent upset stomachs from food
poisoning. Two types of clay are today commonly sold for consumption as
health supplements – bentonite and montmorillonite. These have been
variously called "living clay", "healing clay" or just "edible clays".
Clay is highly absorptive. It readily absorbs toxins,
heavy metals, bacteria, virus and fungi. But because clay itself is not
absorbed by the body, whatever it absorbs is passed out in the stools.

Mutating Viruses

Did you know that a nutritional deficiency can cause a virus to mutate to a
more virulent form? That is the news from the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA)
who are reporting that a human virus, normally harmless in laboratory
mice, mutated into a heart-damaging pathogen when the animals were
raised on a diet devoid of the essential element selenium. And, once mutated, the virus continued to damage hearts - even in mice that got ample selenium in their feed.

The importance of this is not limited to nutritionally-deprived
populations, say researchers with the University of North Carolina and
Agricultural Research Service of the government, who collaborated on the
studies. In theory, one selenium-deficient person or animal could
produce a new family of virus mutants that could cross species and
spread worldwide, causing disease even in well nourished people.

The USDA is now officially on record that nutritional deficiencies cause
viral mutations and they expect to find the same results with
vitamin-E-deficient mice because both selenium and vitamin E are
nutrients that serve as antioxidants in the body. This means that the
government is recognizing that free radicals and oxidative stress
affects the world of pathogens creating super bugs out of regular
critters. They are even going as far as saying that this may help
explain the many new strains of influenza virus arising in China, which
has widespread selenium-deficient areas.

The implications are enormous for a form of medicine that understands absolutely nothing about nutrition and the science of low level toxicity. Part of our infection fighting
arsenal needs to include selenium and ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) and this
is critical not only for maintaining glutathione levels but also for the
neutralization of mercury. Mercury provides the ideal environment for
viruses, bacteria, fungi and yeast infections. Though most are in total
denial of it, we are as a race being overrun by mercury pollution that
is everywhere in the air, water, food, vaccines, dental amalgam and even
beauty products.

When a person is bitten by a snake, spider or scorpion it helps the doctors to know which poison they are treating.
One cannot say anything about health or disease anymore without dealing
with mercury and its rising tide. You cannot treat infectious diseases
in effective ways without dealing with the soil of the infection, with
the mercury and other chemical toxicities that are driving the
pathogens. A doctor needs to know his poisons but most of them find
their minds obscured by the denial of the fact that most of the
pharmaceuticals they use are mitochondrial poisons. Modern medicine is
lost when it comes to dealing with mercury and in fact endorses its use
in vaccines and dental medicine.

Garlic is one food that has powerful anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and some scientific
studies have found it to be at least as effective as the popular
anti-fungal drug, Nystatin, in destroying candida albicans.

We have to change our perceptions about infections and infectious
processes. We need to shift away from the competing paradigms of
pathogen vs. terrain. We need to deal simultaneously with pathogen,
terrain and poison. Certainly we need to deal with nutrition and the use
of concentrated nutritional substances that help us deal safely and
effectively with infections.

Much more could be said about natural remedies and other substances like colloidal silver, which is known to have antibacterial properties. I would choose iodine
first because the body needs it anyway where it does not need colloidal silver.
When we use concentrated nutritional substances as antibiotics we are
doing a lot more than confronting hostile pathogens. We are supporting
total body physiology as well as elimination of heavy metals and other toxic poisons.

Nearly 500,000 people are dying yearly in America due to infectious disease. It now ranks number 3 behind heart disease and cancer in claiming American lives.
