If our current use of antibiotics continues at this rate, antibiotic resistance will soon yield all current medications useless according to the World Health Organization (WHO). And that means, we have no more defenses against biological nasties – our longevity would go back to the Stone Age, where every infection was life threatening.
Antibiotic medications should never be used as a first line of defense against common illness. When I wrote Over-The-Counter Natural Cures, I taught that the lucky run we’ve had with antibiotics is over and we need to start relying on our own immune system – innate and adaptive immunity. In addition, to strengthen our natural defenses, we need to start using natural medicines like andrographis, which are proven to ward off biological nasties, safely and quickly.
