Carob powder is rich in tannins which manifest strong anti-viral properties and

may work as well as antibiotics for certain bacteria-induced diseases, such as

diarrhea.

Colloidal silver has been successfully used for over a century as a powerful

antibiotic and is known to kill over 650 disease organisms. Many organisms live

for only a few minutes in the presence of silver.

Grapefruit seed extract This extract is a powerful all-around antimicrobial

product and is an excellent disinfectant. Grapefruit seed extract has a wide

variety of uses and comes in a liquid, capsules and tablets. For antiseptic uses

make a solution of 4-40 drops in four ounces of water and apply to the affected

areas with a cotton ball two or three times a day or as a spray for larger

areas. Can be used as a spray for babies. Carefully spray the area covered by

diapers at each changing, being careful to keep out of the baby's eyes. This

should clear up any diaper rash in five to seven days.

Honey Researchers at the Waikato University in New Zealand have discovered the

remarkable ability of honey as an antibacterial agent. Honey may be applied full

strength or diluted as much as 10:1 and will completely halt the growth of all

the major wound-infecting species of bacteria. They also found that honey was,

in some cases, superior to antibiotics in dealing with drug-resistant strains of

bacteria. Use for bites, stings, cuts or any topical infection.

Molkosan, a product derived from concentrated whey, the bi-product of cheese

manufacture, has been used effectively against fungal infections and is an

excellent antiseptic. The good results may be from the lactic acid and lactic

enzymes. Use as you would iodine.

Olive leaf extract (calcium elenolate) The olive leaf contains a phytochemical

called oleuropein, whose active ingredient, elenolic acid has shown powerful

anti-bacterial and anti-viral effects. It has proven to be useful in cases of

yeast and fungal infections, herpes, chronic fatigue, allergies and psoriasis.

Since it works like a broad-spectrum antibiotic, it is useful against colds,

flu, and upper respiratory and sinus infections. In addition, users have claimed

that it can help lower blood sugar, normalize arrhythmias, inhibit oxidation of

LDL (the bad cholesterol), and relax arterial walls, thereby helping to lower

blood pressure. Other reported benefits are that it boosts energy and eases

pain, such as from hemorrhoids, toothaches and arthritis.

St. 's wort (hypericum) can also be used as an antiseptic. Dab it on

externally.

Tea tree oil is an exceptional natural antibiotic. Tea tree oil, derived from

the leaves of the native Australian Melaleuca alternifolia tree, contains

antiseptic compounds that are a very effective skin disinfectant. Depending on

severity, use 5-15% solutions daily. It has proven beneficial in treating acne,

athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, fungal infections of the toenail or

fingernails, yeast infections, wound healing and bad breath, among others. For

wound cleansing or a douche for yeast infections, make a 10% solution (about 1½

tablespoons to a cup of warm water). Make sure the product label says it is 100%

pure tea tree oil.

I use zinc and echinacea. You must eat before you use either one.
