15 Natural Antibiotic Alternatives:

Before You Take MORE Antibiotics,

Why Not Try These?

Natural Antibiotic Alternative #1—Garlic

Ahh, garlic. That pungent-smelling, mouth-watering clove of antibiotic goodness is my #1 favorite antibiotic alternative.

Spicy, bacteria fighting, and perfect for when I want my own personal space. 😉

(If you want to learn how I take garlic to fight infection without SMELLING like garlic, be sure to grab your free copy of “The Miracle of Garlic.”)

It’s been shown beneficial for a wide range of infections and illnesses, including:

Common colds

Flus

Fungal skin infections

STDs (including genital warts)

Lyme Disease

Pneumonia

Candidiasis

Diabetes

High blood pressure

High cholesterol

Yeast infections

Intestinal parasites

Meningitis

Herpes

It has even shown promise for destroying three “nightmare superbugs”:

Robin Cherry writes, “Garlic is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, meaning it’s effective against a wide range of disease-causing bacteria… Garlic shows promise against two of the three most dangerous bacterial infections (christened nightmare superbugs by the CDC):

Antibiotic resistant gonorrhea and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, commonly found in hospitals where there has the potential to weaken those whose immune systems are already compromised).” (pp 31-32)

It can help prevent food poisoning by killing E. coli and salmonella. And it is also shown to boost immunity, helping fight off bacterial infections.

There are many reasons we call garlic “miraculous.”
