Review of Herbal Antibiotics: Natural Alternatives for Treating Drug-Resistant Bacteria (Storey Medicinal Herb Guide) (Paperback)

Just the book I was looking for.The author presents the information in a very clear and concise way.The book is well formatted for quick reference too and does a good job of suggesting how to prepare dosages.It's good to see also the sources the author cites on the effectiveness of some of these herbs.

The only thing I disagree with the author on is how he makes it appear that these bacteria are somehow "intelligent".Bacteria aren't intelligent.They're just little organic machines that perform to their program written in their DNA.They're not conspiring to somehow take over the world;-)

Product Description
Current information about antibiotic resistant microbes and the herbs that are effective in fighting them.

From the Back Cover
"Stephen Buhner has arrived at (and shares with you, the reader) the frightening truth you won't find in the Journal of the American Medical Association:We are running out of weapons in the war on germs."

-- James A. Duke, Ph.D., author ofThe Green PharmacyThe era of the penicillin miracle is over. Through our indiscriminate use of pharmaceutical antibiotics in hospitals and factory farms, humans have created "Superbugs" -- tenacious and virulent bacteria that develop resistance to solitary antibiotic compounds at an alarming speed.In this empowering book, Stephen Buhner offers conclusive evidence that plant medicines, with their complex mix of multiple antibiotic compounds, are remarkably effective against drug-resistant bacteria. You'll learn how antibiotic herbs such as aloe, garlic, and grapefruit seed extract represent our best defense against bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli,and Salmonella-- and how their use will ensure that, in the future, antibiotic drugs will still be there when we really need them.
