This week we address the important topic of antibiotics; a class of medication that is so widely prescribed its effectiveness is becoming limited for the treatment of infections. Bacteria have become resistant to some antibiotics.
Thankfully, there are a number of options from alternative medicine that can protect against illness and disease, without building up resistant bacteria. Their benefits can also assist in maintaining sound cholesterol levels and healthy cardiovascular function.
