Many people, for various reasons, can not take antibiotics. Unfortunately, I am one of these people. They either cause yeast infections upon termination of the treatment or they simply dont offer a permanent solution, causing a rebound where the original problem comes back even more severe, necessitating stronger and stronger antibiotics for longer periods of time. This is exactly what happened to one of my clients.

He contracted a blood infection so his doctor prescribed an antibiotic treatment which seemed to work. However the infection came back stronger so his doctor put him on a stronger antibiotic for a longer period of time. Sound familiar? He had just finished this second antibiotic when he and his wife happened to come into my office on another matter. We invariably chatted a little about his condition and it was all I could do to restrain my horror at what had happened. I knew he was on dangerous ground. I just didnt know how dangerous.

I told him about my experience with an ultraviolet light treatment that purifies the blood called UBI or Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation, also known as Photoluminescence. I had used it the previous year to cure the flu in a single day. If you are interested in learning more about this life-saving therapy, it is one of the topics being discussed at The Delaware Conference on Alternative Medicine being held in Wilmington in March.

A week later he called for the name and number of the doctor who was a 2 hour drive from his home. I gave him the information and he booked an appointment that same week. Two days later and two hours into his trip, he got lost and stopped to ask for directions. Upon getting back into his car, his knee went out. It got progressively worse the rest of the day. Since it happened so suddenly, no one thought it was an infection, but it was. It was a candidiasis infection in his knee joint. An extremely rare condition. His wife told me later that there were only 40 cases in existence of this particular problem.

The UBI treatment worked to get the blood infection under control, but after two weeks of testing to find out what the other problem was, they decided that it was caused by the second antibiotic. His treatment would consist of removing the knee joint, waiting six to eight weeks for the infection to totally clear, and replacing it with an artificial knee. They put a temporary spacer in the leg. He could not move the knee at all or put any pressure on the leg. He was bedridden and in extreme pain the whole time.

Well, it took three months for his infection to clear and another several weeks before the knee replacement took place plus recuperation time. All in all, five months of his life were stolen by an antibiotic.

Common Sense Medicine

I recently received a third degree burn which took all the skin and some of the muscle off a one inch section of my finger. It was really raw. I washed it and disinfected it with liquid oxygen and all was fine for two days. But the band aid slid off center during the third night and allowed infection to set in on that side. Over the course of the next 48 hours, my finger on the infected side of the wound swelled to almost twice its usual size. Although the skin on that side of the cut was red, the finger was not. It was just swollen and getting worse by the minute as it moved down my finger toward my hand.

I figured the infection was deep inside the finger and a topical treatment wouldnt work. I knew if I called my doctor he would want to see it and then he would prescribe an antibiotic. Since I wasnt thrilled about either missing work to see him or taking the drug, I decided to take the next 24 hours and try to treat it myself. However, not having been in this situation before, all I had was my common sense.

I knew that salt water was good for keeping wounds clean. I also knew that cleaning was not enough. I needed something to kill the bacteria deep inside my finger. I knew that the most powerful natural antibiotic is garlic and that grapefruit seed extract kills bacteria on contact. But how could I get these substances deep inside the finger to work at the cellular level?

At first I thought of DMSO. That would probably work but it would also probably hurt and I dont like the smell or the garlic taste in my mouth after using it. Then I thought of Active H and its mechanism of action. It can pass right through the cell wall and carry nutrients with it. It can also change the pH of the cells to create a bioterrain that is inhospitable to bacteria definitely worth a try.

I filled a bowl way with very hot water and mixed in some sea salt, Active H, garlic, and grapefruit seed extract. I then soaked my hand in the solution for hour. Voila! The next day the swelling had subsided significantly. I did the same the next evening and by the following day my finger was back to normal. No losing time from work and no antibiotics.

I would imagine that it may have worked just as well using only garlic and water but I dont know how it would have penetrated without the Active H.

The reason I chose hot water instead of cold is because thats what the body does. It increases the temperature at the site of infection because bacteria need a certain temperature to survive and they cant stand the heat for too long. Cold may work well for inflammation from other causes but it would simply put bacteria into hibernation. But by the time I finished mixing the ingredients and settling in with my hand, the water was pleasantly warm.

By the way, I used 4 squirts of the spray garlic from Omaha Steaks, one scoop of powdered Active H (about 2 capsules), three drops of grapefruit seed extract and some sea salt in about 3 cups of water. I had planned on doing this twice a day, morning and evening but my schedule did not allow morning. So I left the bowl on the bathroom sink and the next morning just dipped my hand in for about 10 seconds after washing.

So if youre like me and either cant or hate to take antibiotics. Try common sense. It just might work.
