Herbal Antibiotics
The war-like model so often used to treat disease is counterproductive. Microbial life and their evolution are overwhelmingly cooperative and rarely competitive and or aggressive. I believe we heal better and stronger when we are reverent toward all life.
A more useful image for treating disease uses a model of an organic garden. Good organic gardeners know that an infestation of ‘bugs’ is a signal that there is some imbalance in the soil. The ‘pests’ are our teachers. When we remedy the deeper problem, some of them die, but many move-on to bring their teachings elsewhere.

A Word on Using Herbs and Conventional Treatment:
Herbs can be used effectively for disease with or without conventional treatments and pharmaceuticals. In fact, in a small proportion of cases using both is the most effective course of action. The herbs we use and the way we use them do not cause interactions with pharmaceuticals.
