/* Home remedies */
*Probiotics Support your immune system by regularly taking live yogurt, especially after you've been on a round of antibiotics.
* [[Oregano]] and clove oil are powerful anti-fungals with very strong medicinal properties.((e.g. against candida infections).
* herbs with antibiotic properties : Allspice, Thyme, Mints, Basil, Cinnamon sage, Chervil, Rosemary, Lemon balm, Oregano, Cumin tarragon, Cloves, Bay leaf, Chili peppers, Marjoram, Caraway seed, Coriander, Dill, Nutmeg, Cardamom, Pepper, Ginger, Anise, Fennel, Mustard, Parsley.* [[Niacin]] ([[Vitamin B3]]) can combat antibiotic-resistant staph infections : high doses of B3 increased the ability of immune cells to kill staph bacteria by 1,000 times. The study involved both laboratory animals and human blood.
* Apple cider vinegar and freshly squeezed lemon/lime provide an abundance of alkaline salts and have natural anti-septic properties. (e.g. against candida infections)
*Cultured Cabbage Juice Prepare a sterilized 1 or 2 liter glass jar or mason jar. Shred some cabbage and stuff as much as you can into the jar. Fill the jar with water and shut the lid on tight. Leave it outside the fridge. Wait 3 days. The cabbage should have a sour taste (not a rotten one - if prepared wrongly!). Drink 1/2 or 1 cup of the juice daily. Like yogurt, you can use 1/4 cup of the old batch as a starter for the next batch.
*[[Coconut ]] oil Research in the Philippines by Dr Conrato S Dayrit says "coconut oil does have an anti-viral effect and can beneficially reduce the viral load of HIV patients." Use it in daily cooking and take 6-12 tablespoons a day.
*[[Psyllium Husk]] fiber is an excellent bowel cleanser. Psyllium husk normalizes bowel movement and absorbs toxins as it passes through the intestines.
* Wild [[asparagus]] (Asparagus Racemosus) has been used for many years as a botanical medicine in India and Asia. It contains a phytonutrient called saponins. Saponins have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. They assist with lowering blood pressure and help to control blood sugar levels.
* Black [[walnut ]] tincture is not only high in a bio-assimilable, plant form of iodide, but it also has anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic, and fungicidal properties. The amount of iodine in black walnut tincture is so high that it can be used as a substitute for iodine antiseptics.
* Lignans in flax seed are anti-fungal, anti-cancer, and anti-viral micronutrients.
* [[Yogurt]] is used for treating and preventing vaginal yeast as well as bacteria infections, and for preventing urinary tract infections.
* Silver and silver compounds have an oligodynamic effect and are toxic for bacteria, algae, and fungi in vitro. The oligodynamic effect is typical for heavy metals, such as lead and mercury, but, among the elements that have this effect, silver is the least toxic for humans. But rgyria occurs in people who ingest or inhale silver in large quantities over a long period (several months to many years).
* [[Licorice]] may be used as a topical antiviral agent for shingles, ophthalmic, oral or genital herpes.
* [[Turkey Tail mushrooms Mushroom]]s are a Powerful Immune System Booster.* The [[sulfur ]] compounds in [[onions]] and [[garlic]] are the key elements for use as an antibiotic.
* phytonutrients in sea vegetables (sulfated polysaccarides also called fucans) have been studied for their anti-inflammatory properties.
* wild [[asparagus]], desert date, false daisy, curry tree, castor oil plant and fenugreek are natural weapons in fighting life-threatening secondary infections from bacteria and fungi that afflict many cancer patients whose immune systems are damaged by mainstream medicine's chemo and radiation treatments.
