Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food. -Hippocrates
In herbology, antibiotic-like foods are called astringent meaning natural blood cleansers. The
word anti (against) biotic (life) refers to a list of pharmaceutical antimicrobials designed to kill
harmful bacteria in the host body. The problem is these synthetic forms of antibiotics kill off both
the good and bad bacteria leaving the body depleted of living microflora that supports immune
function.
Including foods and herbs that contain antibiotic properties in your diet can support your immune
system and help to defend you from certain infectious bacteria, such as the Lymes spirochete and
Candida Albicans, an overgrowth of yeast. There are many foods and herbs known to have natural
antibiotic qualities; and with an increased resistance to pharmaceutical antibiotics in people today,
it is wise to eat foods that work in your defense on a daily basis.

it is wise to eat foods that work in your defense on a daily basis.
This is not to imply that you should not take antibiotics when deemed necessary by your medical
doctor. However, knowing how to use certain foods as medicine can help you to cut down on over
using synthetic antibiotics for minor health conditions. Naturally, consult your physician before
proceeding.
Onions and Garlic
Close relatives, onions and garlic contain antibacterial properties. Both foods have been used to
treat everything from minor illness to major disease and inflammation, both internally and externally.
The sulfur compounds in onions and garlic are the key elements for use as an antibiotic. In one
study, garlic was tested on mice against an antibiotic-resistant strain of Staphylococci. The results
showed the garlic had protected the mice against the pathogen and significantly reduced any
inflammation. Both have been used to help fight off the residual effects of colds and flu, while
garlics antifungal properties help prevent yeast infections and combat viral conditions, onions high
phytonutrient content are known to mop up free radicals that can lead to cancer in the body.

Honey
Honey was used as an antibacterial treatment long before synthetic antibiotics were developed, in
cultures all over the world, for wounds and illness. Honey contains an enzyme, antimicrobial in
nature, which releases hydrogen peroxide and prohibits the growth of certain bacteria. In Chinese
medicine honey is thought to harmonize the liver, neutralize toxins, and relieve pain; and its
antibacterial properties are effective in the treatment of the bacterium Heliobacter pylori or stomach
ulcer.

Cabbage
A member of the cruciferous vegetable family, along with broccoli, kale, cauliflower and Brussels
sprouts, cabbage has long been recognized for its healing powers. One reason is the cancer
fighting sulfur compounds. Another is that fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C are considered a
natural antibiotic and a one-cup serving of cabbage provides about 75 percent of your daily adult
allowance. Cabbage juice is highly recommended in the treatment of stomach ulcers. Drink half a
cup of fresh cabbage juice 2-3 times a day, between meals for two weeks. Add half a teaspoon of
raw, unfiltered honey and sip slowly, even chewing a bit to get the enzymes going. Topically, raw
cabbage leaves applied to tender breasts can relieve inflammation from mastitis, fibro cysts and
menstrual breast tenderness.

Fermented Foods
Today more and more doctors recommend you take a probiotic in conjunction with antibiotic
treatment to replace the good bacteria, microflora, that is also being destroyed in the digestive
system. Fermented vegetables loaded with microorganisms may prove to be superior to taking a
capsule from the health food store. Raw, unpasturized sauerkraut (theres that cabbage again), raw
pickles, cultured vegetables, and kim chi are all excellent ways to introduce probiotics back into
