Doctors once predicted that antibiotics would vanquish infectious diseases. But germs instead are increasingly evolving ways to overpower antibiotics, a danger fast reaching crisis proportions. Several antibiotics have become useless against certain infections. And a growing number of germs are developing resistance to the antibiotic of last resort, Vancomycin. We don't have much in the pipeline.
Antibiotics only work against bacteria.
Nor are they always needed for sore throats or ear infections. The CDC considers antibiotic overuse so serious that it recently mailed pediatricians new brochures to educate parents. So a very real problem exists in our world which gives me a feeling of thankfulness that we do have direction in this matter. We know that the oils of cinnamon, oregano, and clove in French testing proved to be many times more effective at killing the pathogenic organisms than antibiotics. In the case of my husband who has had a recurring problem over the years.
