His patient records showed amazing successes, witnessed by hospital personnel, while most outsiders (who refused to review his data) labelled him a quack.

They actually have more than that, but getting them legitimately studied may have to wait until the fears over bacterial resistance put our backs hard against a wall with no place else to go.ĭr Fred Klenner, in Reidsville, North Carolina in the US, was using intravenous ascorbic acid (vitamin C) against viruses, serious bacteria and even toxins such as snakebites as early as the 1930's. There are four natural anti-bacterial (and anti-viral) agents that have a lot of what many would call "anecdotal evidence" behind them. Spreen pointed out, "We hear little about them because of the fact that they are not patentable and therefore have no profit potential, at least nowhere near the level drug companies desire."īut we're going to hear all about them now - compliments of Dr. Spreen noted that while bacteria contain the genetic material to resist synthetic drugs, this does not seem to be the case with natural agents that have antibacterial properties.Īnd, as Dr.

Spreen concludes his comments with some very useful advice for anyone seeking natural supplements that support the body's defence systems.įinishing off the comments he made yesterday, Dr. So in yesterday's e-Alert, I asked US HSI Panellist, Dr Allan Spreen, to give us his insights into the antibiotic question. Lately, HSI members have shown a great deal of interest in the subject of antibiotics and the natural alternatives to pharmaceutical antibiotics. Here is an article in the UK Health Sciences Institute Alert, forwarded through Jennie Gorman, which summarizes the information on four natural antibiotic alternatives, just to give ourselves a choice - and so we can be more specific next time about what kind of antibiotic we might prefer to use. Sometimes we have to concede - antibiotics seem the answer.īut does it have to be the pharmaceutical kind, the ones that kill not only a pathogen but also all the beneficial bacteria which we live in perfect symbiosis with? We actually need those little bugs to properly digest our food. Their question: But if you have a serious infectious condition, surely you'll accept an antibiotic. Antibiotics are one of the few things proponents of pharmaceutical medicine "can always get us" with.
