Herbal Antibiotics

How are herbal antibiotics different from pharmaceutical antibiotics?

Many pharmaceutical antibiotics are isolated chemical constituents.  They are one compound/one chemical – penicillin is penicillin, tetracycline is tetracycline and so on.  This makes them easier for bacteria to adapt to and counteract.  In contrast, herbs are much more complicated.  Garlic has over 33 sulfur compounds, 17 amino acids and a dozen other compounds.  Yarrow has over 120 identified compounds.  (It makes me look at my herbs with a new appreciation.)  In plants, the whole appears to be more than the sum of its parts.  The different compounds work together, often to produce better than expected results.  (See Chapter 2 of Herbal Antibiotics for a more detailed explanation.)

According to Western goji scientific research goji berries contain:

• 18 types of amino acids (needed for protein synthesis)
• 21 trace minerals (including iron, copper, zinc, calcium & selenium)
• Betacarotene (far more than carrots)
• Antioxidants
• An antiinflammatory agent
• Vitamin C (far more than oranges)
• Vitamins B1, B6 & E

Goji berries can be chewed by the handful, blended with water and other ingredients to make goji berry juice, added to soups and stews, steeped in hot water to make tea, or steeped in alcohol to make wine. While chewing goji berries is probably the easiest and quickest way to consume them, this author particularly likes making goji berry juice. Goji berry juice benefits are fast acting as the juice is absorbed by your body more quickly.
