'It is a long-awaited book and answers many questions' Jan de Vries
Product Description
'A long-awaited book that answers many questions' Jan de Vries When antibiotics were developed in the 1940s, they were hailed as a huge breakthrough in the treatment of bacterial infections. Since then they have become the most commonly prescribed drugs in the world. However, massive over-prescribing is causing increasing problems. The advent of antibiotic-resistant organisms or 'superbugs' has more and more people demanding alternatives. Since it was published in 1996 'Alternatives to Antibiotics' has been translated into 16 languages and has been an international bestseller. 'Natural Alternatives to Antibiotics ' is a revised and updated edition of this important book. Dr John McKenna looks at the various strains of infections which have become resistant since his book was first published. He has expanded his sections on alternative, herbal, homeopathic and nutritional medicines, and shows directly that it is still possible to treat infections without antibiotics while still acknowledging the times that they may be necessary.

This book is a great guide and reference for parents who ever had any doubts about the need for antibiotics as prescribed so readily by the family doctor. Explains very clearly when they are necessary and when not.

This book should be a compulsory read for every practitioner. Overprescription of antibiotics is on the increase especially among children. I have personally had to deal with the terrible consequences of antibiotic overuse, my daughter has been diagnosed as being asthmatic at the age of 4. As a child she has being given many unnecessaraly courses of heavy duty drugs for minor viral infections, colds and ear aches . The immunity of my daughter was further suppressed by very strong inhalors,and more infections followed which required more and more antibiotics....the never ending circle has begun.
I was very fortun to be given this book by one of my friends and eventually i made appointement with dr John McKenna himself. Today my daughter doesnt require any medication, is asthma free. I would recommend this book to every parent. Please read it!

Way back in the 1940s, the discovery of antibiotics represented a great medical breakthrough that saved many lives in the years since. Unfortunately the over-prescription and unwise use of these medicines have created resistant organisms and in this age of the superbug it is wise to become familiar with the natural alternatives that fight infection and that usually have fewer and less serious side effects.
In this updated and revised of his work, the author considers a variety of strains of infection that have developed resistance since the first edition of this book. The sections on homeopathic, nutritional and herbal remedies and cures for infection have been enlarged and brought up to date.
From this book, it is clear that it is still possible and even preferable to fight infection without the use of antibiotics. At the same time, McKenna acknowledges the value of antibiotics in many instances. This is a valuable guide to alternative ways of staying healthy, and provides a balanced look at health and the antibiotic question.
The book includes a bibliography and thorough index. Another great book that deals with this topic is Leon Chaitow’s Antibiotic Crisis, Antibiotic Alternatives.
