One of the hottest topics today is the overuse of conventional antibiotics and the loss of their effectiveness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States (CDC) reports that prescription antibiotics have led to a catastrophic rise in SUPER BUGS, causing the death of 23.000 Americans each year and after successful operation an estimated 50.000 death occurs in hospitals after successful operations in Germany.

In the “Threat Report 2013” of the CDC it admits, that modern medicine is a failure when it comes to infections diseases, since Mother Nature adapts to chemical threats far more quickly than drug companies can roll out new chemicals. Recently we have become aware of the harsh side-effects and severe limitations of pharmaceutical drugs. In particular, antibiotics have shown to cause even greater injury to the body, by killing both helpful and harmful bacteria. The immune system is compromised by the lack of helpful bacteria in the body and the harmful bacteria that have increased their resistance to antibiotics because of overuse.

Hospital-acquired resistant infections, by conservative estimates, are now the leading cause of death in the United States. You will find in many books written by professionals inclusive Medical doctors, for example “Confession of a medical heretic” by Dr. Robert S. Mendelsohn, MD that hospitals these days are the most dangerous place on earth because they are breading grounds of super bugs do to the lack of proper hygiene by doctors and nurses and many have become a disease-infested death trap!! The Danish physician Peter C. Gotzsche writes in his book “Deadly Medicines and Organized Crime”, “Everything we know about drugs is what the companies have chose (n) to tell us and our doctors, although our doctors are very knowledgeable about some things, such as human physiology, which is vital in treating patients, they know very little about drugs that hasn't been carefully concocted and dressed up by the drug industry.”

When using an isolated chemical to combat disease rooted in a 1950's mentality that has nearly reached its endpoint in the history of medicine is it any wonder that we have created an area of no return. Due to the disastrous failure of antibiotics combined with the widespread suppression of human immune system function (due to drugs, hazardous chemicals in the air, food, water, household and garden goods, cosmetics and personal care products, genetically modified and engineered food, (GMO's) super bugs death are quickly accelerate and are getting out of control.

The first antibiotic “penicillin” was discovered in 1929 and after that new antibiotics were developed daily and the arsenal of medicine seemed overwhelming. There were voices of concern especially from Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin and he warned that improper use of it would lead to the development of resistant bacteria. But it seemed that nobody was listening in the medical profession and as a result we lost control! Comment from Dr. Tom Frieden, director of CDC “The area of antibiotics is rearing its end and if we are not careful, we will soon be in a post-antibiotic area.!”

This admission should really send alarm bells ringing across the medical establishment since it means the day is not far off when doctors and hospitals no longer can offer treatments for common infections. The problem will further accelerate with the rise of consuming genetically modified engineered “Frankenfood” and it is only a matter of time when new diseases will appear with absolutely no treatments available for them! Only people who possess the nearly lost knowledge of natural plant-derived antibiotics will have any real chance of surviving such an outbreak if they become infected.

Drug companies are refusing to invest in new antibiotics which are not nearly profitable as other areas of drug research as a solution to the super bug problem they caused. The incentives to produce more and better antibiotics only kick in under the worst circumstances, when millions of people will die from antibiotic-resistant infections!

According to Dr. Shiv Chopra, former scientist at Health Canada for 35 years, he rejected the injection of bovine growth hormone into cows as a whistle blower and was fired by HC in 2007 and as a result no injection has taken place he said at a lecture November 19, 2013 in Vancouver, British Columbia to a packed crowd about genetically modified engineered food and human health that 80% of antibiotics are used in animals (primarily pigs, cattle, chicken, farm fish etc.)

Antibiotics are excreted in millions of pounds from millions of people in hospitals each year and expired antibiotics are simply thrown into the garbage inclusive antibacterials, a desinfection, antibiotic remnants from different treatments are part of the hospital waste streams, ending up in treatment plants and pass relatively unchanged into our world's water supply.

In the last 20 years and since the internet a lot has changed, a renaissance of medical plants has taken place, check the website of Chris Kilham, http://www.medicinehunter.com, especially in Africa, Asia, South America, within the Russian sphere and most of Eastern Europe.

Many of the researchers and scientists in these countries have realized that corporate profit making and human health are not compatible addressing the health problems without any profit motive. It is no secret that big international pharmaceutical corporations have betrayed the consumers and make billions out of the misery of others. The United States has been left behind using an outdated model that has no effective place in the real world! For anyone who wants to learn more about the wonders of botanical plants should read the book “The Secret Life of Plants” by Peter Tompkins and Christoper Bird, a fascinating account of the physical, emotional, and spiritual relations between plants and man.

Medical Doctors have never been informed of the powerful antibiotic properties of colloidal silver, garlic, onions, copper, aloe vera gel, iodine, full spectrum earth Himalayan crystal and sea salt (even sea salt can be contaminated), sulfur compounds, Chinese, native North American, Aboriginal and India Ayurveda medicine herbs and many other bacteria fighting substances from the botanical world.

The top five systemic herbal antibiotics are:

Cryptolepis sanguinolenta: Flowering plant in the Apocynaceae family, extract from the root is also traditional used in West Africa (Angola, Lagos, Belgian Congo, Gambia) to treat malaria and type II diabetis.
