Antibiotics – Are They Curing Us or Killing Us?

Antibiotics: Are they curing us or killing us?

'Without urgent, co-ordinated action by many stakeholders, the world is headed for a post-antibiotic era, in which common infections and minor injuries which have been treatable for decades can once again kill.' Dr Keiji Fukuda, World Health Organization

For anyone reeling from this recent, shocking statement from WHO, Dr John McKenna is here to help. There is no doubt that there is a massive overuse of antibiotics. This book is for anyone who wants to do something about it.

The senseless over-prescription and misuse of antibiotics has rendered them almost useless, posing a catastrophic threat to our health. Superbugs are making hospitals increasingly dangerous places to seek help and experts predict we will soon regress to a time when simple infections and medical procedures threaten our lives once again.

Dr McKenna, a retired medical doctor who has been practising natural medicine for over 25 years with astonishing results, examines the issues at play. He reveals the truth about the pills your doctor prescribes you and details the often unknown side effects they can have.

ANTI-biotics has all the information you need to take your health into your own hands. You will learn how to recognise when antibiotics are hindering you instead of helping you, and discover natural alternatives to restore your health and strengthen your immune system.

Through a number of case histories, Dr McKenna shows the effects of MRSA, C. Difficile, TB, E. Coli and other infections that have developed antibiotic resistance. He explains, in layman's terms, the science of how different antibiotics affect different parts of the immune system.

His advice will help you take control of your health with practical tips to boost your immunity and to avoid misusing antibiotics.

    euphoria that surrounded the discovery of chloramphenicol was dampened somewhat when it was shown to have serious side effects. By 1950, many investigators had become alarmed by the mounting evidence linking it with serious blood disorders including anaemia and leukaemia.

    1947 a newly discovered antibiotic called chloramphenicol was used in a clinical trial to treat an epidemic of typhus in Bolivia. Its success in curbing the epidemic led to its use in the treatment of typhoid fever, meningitis and brucellosis. At last scientists were discovering substances that could treat serious infections.

    Tetracyclines are called broad-spectrum antibiotics because they kill a broad range of microbes. Because of this they damage the gut flora, causing the overgrowth of Candida albicans, Staphylococcus spp. and Clostridium difficile. Liver and kidney damage can also occur with the use of these drugs, as can allergic reactions such as hives, skin rash and asthma.
