Natural Antibiotics
“Antibiotics disrupt the normal population of beneficial microbes in the
gastrointestinal tract of all animals, these beneficial bacteria are the
first fine of defense against most diseases, without them the animal is
more susceptible to other infections. Antibiotics depress the immune
system by decreasing the number of circulating white blood cells. This
lowers the animal’s ability to fight infections. Some antibiotics, such as
chloramphenicol, can cause irreversible damage to the bone marrow.
Many bacteria develop resistance to the effects of antibiotics, This
resistance can be passed to other bacteria, The concern is that if
humans are exposed to resistant bacteria from animals then the use of
antibiotics may be Ineffective in treating any resulting disease. This is
the major controversy regarding the use of antibiotics on a regular
basis in food producing animals.” Richard J. Holliday, DVM


On this page, you will find out what many
doctors are saying about the over use of
antibiotics and the reasons we should avoid
them.

“After 40 years of pushing antibiotics for any ailment, physicians are now
confronting bacteria that have built defenses against those same drugs. Some
infectious bacteria that were once treatable are stronger and often deadly. The
reappearance of highly infectious bacteria is caused in part by the overuse and
misuse of antibiotics, but the resilience of bacteria also stems from the ingenious
biochemistry of the microorganisms themselves. To survive, microorganisms and
fungi mutate into resistant strains.”Morton Walker, D.P.M.
Officials from the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control have
reported that the overuse of antibiotics in medicine has created an epidemic of
antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Doctors fear that if antibiotic use is not curtailed, we may soon
approach the day when untreatable infections are rampant.
"Treatment with allopathic drugs (antibiotics, steroids, hormones, etc.) should be avoided
unless absolutely necessary. The need for drug treatment is actually quite unusual, and should
be considered a last resort.
Antibiotics are often completely superfluous, such as in treating abscesses or viral infections.
They should also not be used routinely to prevent infection, such as after most surgery or
dental procedures. For most situations in which antibiotics are given, there are safe, effective
alternatives.
Corticosteroids (cortisone-type anti-inflammatory drugs) are the most abused and dangerous
class of drugs. Not only do they not cure the underlying cause of the problem, they usually
make the underlying problem, that is, the real problem, worse.
The greatest harm of drug treatment is usually not so much the toxicity or side effects as it is
the effects of suppression. Allopathic (conventional Western) medical thinking generally seeks
immediate gratification: just make the symptom go away. So the patient may be better in the
short term, but is usually worse in the longer term."
Jeffrey Levy, DVM
"Drugs do not cure, popular opinion notwithstanding.
Cure must come from within; or there is no cure"

Garlic is the best antimicrobial substance that we know of — it is
antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antiprotozoan and antiviral.
An average clove of garlic has 100,000 Units of Penicillin. Wow!!
“Garlic helps to eliminate worms, strengthen digestion and
beneficially stimulate the digestive tract. Use it to promote intestinal
health." Dr. Pitcairn, DVM
I use garlic for worming and to keep my puppies strong. I use it
everyday.
It is available in my home or on my Products Page. It comes in a
tincture. You can also use fresh garlic. I like to have both on hand
because alot of days I do not have the time to cut up a garlic clove.
Use 1/2 clove for a small puppy and more for a larger dog.
Below are the natural antibiotics that I use
for my puppies.

Oregano Oil, Oil of Oregano or Oregano Spirits
In 2000, British researchers reported in the Journal of Applied Microbiology that
with a capacity to destroy a variety of bacteria, viruses and fungi. Oregano oil
demonstrated antibacterial properties against 25 different types of bacteria,
reinforcing its status as a potent natural antibiotic.
This is something I use on my puppies as a preventative or anytime I see something
amiss.
This also is available in my home or on my Products Page.
"Using natural medicines from nature to control bacteria, viruses, and fungi is a
reasonable approach," states Dr. Michael Traub, N.D. "Natural antibiotics are safer
and less toxic than most synthetic analogs that have not been subjected to the kind of
evolutionary scrutiny that the natural substances have had."
