Summary
In this podcast, I’m going to share a recipe for a powerful, natural antibiotic drink that you can make at home.
The overuse of antibiotics is a major issue in the United States. Overuse of antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistance. This means that the microbes that are not killed by the antibiotics become stronger and resistant. When you take antibiotics again, they don’t work as well anymore.
Antibiotics do not kill yeast or viruses, but they do kill good microbes that keep the yeast at bay. This is why a common side effect of antibiotics is an overgrowth of candida or yeast.
Weaker antibiotics like penicillin and tetracycline work by slowing the growth of microbial reproduction. Stronger antibiotics like Cipro and Levaquin come with strong side effects and a black box warning.
If you have to take stronger antibiotics, always take magnesium, vitamin E, and probiotics along with them. After taking antibiotics, it could take weeks or even years to get your original microbes back. Because 80% of your immune system is your microbiome, this can have detrimental effects on your natural immunity.
Antibiotics naturally come from molds and other microorganisms found in the soil. These natural compounds have anti-inflammatory effects, antimicrobial effects, anti-diabetic effects, and anticancer effects.
Here is the recipe for a natural antibiotic drink that should be taken at the first sign of a cough or illness:
•3 cloves garlic
•90 drops Echinacea extract
•1 whole organic lemon (peel included)
•1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
•1 tablespoon raw honey
•16 ounces water
Blend all ingredients for about 45 seconds. Drink ⅓ of the mixture 3 times per day. If you’re in the middle of an infection, do this for the duration of the infection. You should notice a diminishing of symptoms, and you should sleep better.
Also, take 50,000 IUs of vitamin D3 and 100 to 150 mg of zinc to boost your immune system.

| 0:00.0 | Let's talk about a natural antibiotic drink that you could make at home that is really powerful, |
| 0:06.2 | non-toxic, and you want to take this at the first sign of a cold or the flu. |
| 0:10.8 | But let's first step back for a moment and just take a look at the big picture. |
| 0:14.0 | A couple very important things about antibiotics. Number one, they only kill bacteria. They do not kill viruses. |
| 0:22.0 | So if you have a viral infection, it's not going to work. |
| 0:26.0 | And the problem with that is there is a big over-prescription of antibiotics in, especially in the U.S. But when you take an antibiotic that you don't need over time it can start building up this resistance |
| 0:38.1 | So the antibiotic kills a good portion of the good microbes, but the ones that don't die become stronger. |
| 0:47.2 | They become more resistant. They start becoming pathogenic. So now the next time you take an antibiotic, it doesn't work anymore. |
| 0:56.8 | And realize this too, in your microbes, if you're only going to kill the antibiotic off and you're |
| 1:01.4 | not going to kill the Candida or the yeast or other |
| 1:05.4 | microbes that are in your microbiome now we just threw things off so in other words |
| 1:11.9 | these bacteria were there to keep through things |
| 1:15.0 | in check, like the yeast and the candida. |
| 1:19.0 | This is why one of the big side effects of an antibiotic |
| 1:22.0 | is an overgrowth of Candida or yeast. |
| 1:25.1 | There are two types of antibiotics. |
| 1:27.0 | There's antibiotics that are not as strong, they kind of slow down the growth of microbial reproduction. |
| 1:35.0 | And those are usually like penicillin or |
| 1:36.6 | type of cyclin. |
| 1:38.1 | Now, other types of antibiotics, like Cypro or Levequin. |
| 1:43.8 | Those are more powerful. |
| 1:45.0 | They have like a black box warning on them |
