Natural Antibiotics and Antivirals: 18 Infection-Fighting Herbs and Essential Oils Paperback – September 11, 2018

The book is easy to understand and put into application by non professional.

"Natural Antibiotics and Antivirals" talked about the history of natural and pharmaceutical antibiotics, what germs are and how your immune system fights them, and 18 natural antibiotics and how to use them to treat 50 common illnesses.The author did a good job of explaining complex biological processes (the immune system, etc.) at a level that I think most adults can understand. Some scientific terms were used, though. The author explained how the essential oils, mother tinctures, etc., work to support your body, stop the germs, and not harm the beneficial bacteria. He also talked about detoxing and things you can do to support your beneficial microbiome. Overall, I felt that this was an informative and useful guide.He talked about the essential oils of basil, English lavender, eucalyptus, niaouli, oregano, palmrosa, ravintsara, savory, tea tree, and thyme. He talked about the mother tinctures of bearberry, burdock, common barberry, mouse-ear hawkweed, and purple coneflower. Also, grapefruit seed extract, lapacho, and bee propolis.I received an ebook review copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley.

OK, let’s all be honest for a moment—traditional allopathic medicine is not working as a way to treat chronic illness. If you have found yourself in a situation in which you needed to use pharmaceutical antibiotics, this little book can help guide you back to health using probiotics to restore the health of your intestines. Our environment is full of toxins that permeate our water, air, and food so if you are looking for natural ways to be healthy in today’s world, this book is a must read.Dhara Lemos, Lotus Guide

Very impressed with this book about using herbs and other natural ingredients for antibiotics and antivirals. The use of essential oils, tinctures, oral and topical treatments for so many health problems are discussed. I did appreciate the warnings in the book about avoiding certain areas and to dilute before using many of these things. A lot of good commonsense advice that I can't wait to use. Definitely 5 stars. Very well researched. I received this book from Net Galley for an honest review and no compensation otherwise.

Christopher has written a well-researched book on natural antibiotics and antivirals. What I especially loved is that he address the whole being. Example He talks about eucalyptus oil and tea tree oil as an antiseptic plus the same essential oils can be used to keep your area free of negative entities. He gave a fascinating interview. Listen to it on Get Over It! Podcast! He shares information that can be used right now!

I am an Integrative medicine physician.- The author is a N.D., not a lay person, therefore, the book should be more scientific. There is not a single scientific reference for any of the products mentioned. E.g., the author wrote that Basil is recommended for all viral diseases ... viral hepatitis. Without proof, this is an irresponsible statement.- most products are written like that. One exception is Propolis, in which statements are more specific, i.e., active against Bacteria: staph, strep, salmonella, etc. but still no references.- same for diseases, no proof.- sinusitis: no mention that most chronic sinus infections are caused by fungi, not virus and bacteria.- no mention of common antibiotics and antivirals such as aloe, garlic, ginger, honey, neem, silver, etc.

Doctors are prescribing antibiotics much more frequently, which is leading to people becoming immune to them. This book offers guidance on how to utilize natural antibiotics or antivirals in place of the prescriptions that are typically used. I had no idea that there were so many different alternatives to antibiotics and will definitely be using this guide next time I need one.

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley and the publishers for an honest review.This book was very helpful and information filled book that had me enjoying reading about some herbs and essential oils I have used on myself and my family members for many years. I also found information on may herbs and essential oils I had not heard of which surprised me as I have many books on this subject. The science and the explanations on the various Viruses, Germs and Parasites as well as the great amount of helpful and very useful infection fighting ways to utilise the herbs and essential oils to help soothe and sometime relieve the symptoms was fascinating. I just wish some illustrations to pictures of the various herbs had been included. This is a book that I would recommend to all who are thinking of natural ways to cure.
