Battle of the Bugs:
Fighting Antibiotic Resistance
“According to the Centers of
Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), virtually all significant bacterial infections in the world are becoming resistant to the antibiotic treatment of choice.
For some of us, bacterial resistance could mean more visits to the doctor, a lengthier illness, and possibly more toxic drugs.
For others, it could mean death.” www.fda.gov
New Steps Aimed at Cutting Risks from Acetaminophen
“The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has taken new steps to reduce the risks of severe liver injury associated with acetaminophen, a widely used pain- and-fever-reducing drug.
FDA is asking all makers of prescription products that contain acetaminophen to limit the amount of the drug to 325 milligrams per tablet or capsule.

Possible Increased Risk of Bone fractures with Certain Antacid Drugs
“Be aware that the over-thecounter PPIs should only be used as directed for 14 days of treatment of frequent heartburn. If your heartburn continues, talk to your health care professional. No more than three 14-day treatment courses should be used in one year.” www.fda.gov
FDA Taking Closer Look at
“Antibacterial” Soap
“New data suggests that the risks associated with long-term, daily use of antibacterial soaps may outweigh the benefits,” Rogers says. “There are indications that certain ingredients in these soaps may contribute to bacterial resistance to antibiotics, and may have unanticipated hormonal effects that are of concern to FDA.” www.fda.gov

Antioxidants: Why are they important?
“Antioxidants are substances that may protect your cells against the effects of free radicals. Free radicals are molecules produced when your body breaks down food, or by environmental exposures like tobacco smoke and radiation. Free radicals can damage cells, and may play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases.
Studies suggest that a diet high in antioxidants from fruits and vegetables is associated with a lower risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, Parkinson's disease and
Alzheimer's disease.”

Protective essential oil attenuates influenza virus infection: an in vitro study in MDCK cells.
Conclusion: an essential oil blend significantly attenuates influenza virus PR8 infectivity in vitro without affecting viral binding or cellular internalization in MDCK cells. Oil treated virus continued to express viral mRNAs but had minimal expression of viral proteins, suggesting that the antiviral effect may be due to inhibition of viral protein translation.
Antibiotic capsule: (I tried several, but this one worked best) 3 drops each oregano, melaleuca, thyme, rosemary, frankincense. You need to start taking this the minute you feel something coming on. You can take this every hour until you start feeling better or at least take it every time you start feeling a bit of a sore throat or feeling cruddy or achy. I also took it every time I started to cough.
Sore throat: Frankincense straight down. (I tried melaleuca, but the Frank worked better.) Try both if you want and see what works best for you. Tastes nasty. Works fast.
Cough: 2 drops each lemon, cassia (Use cinnamon for kids) and myrrh on a spoon with coconut oil. I took this everytime I started to cough and before I went to bed so I could sleep.
Drink lemon and even cassia in your water. Use
Onguard throat drops.
Spine: Layer Frankincense, coconut oil, oregano, thyme, on guard, aromatouch, lemongrass, melaleuca, arborvitae, peppermint. (If someone will put a hot towel, garbage bag and blanket on your back after this it will help the most, but at least get them on your spine.)
Breathe and cardamom on chest.
(sometimes I put a heater bag on my chest after I put the oils on, just because it feels good.)
Breathe and onguard in epsom salts and soak in tub.
I also take all the supplements:
Vitamins (lifelong vitality pack), terrazymes, zendocrine and PB
Assist (probiotics). I know these helped me out, too, getting nutrition in and flushing toxins out.
