Natural Antibiotics and Antivirals

“An informative and invaluable book that explores the application of natural antimicrobial and antiviral plant-based remedies to combat and stave off infection, Natural Antibiotics and Antivirals provides a significant source of reference for the layperson and health care professional alike.” * Heather Dawn Godfrey, author of Essential Oils for Mindfulness and Meditation *“Christopher Vasey’s fascinating book explores in detail the powerful world of natural antibiotics (essential oils and herbs) and the role they play in addressing the countless pathological germs we encounter every day. His book is well organized, allowing you to easily reference treatments for common infections, and provides detailed information on creating a symbiotic relationship with our intestinal flora, ultimately leading to radiant health.” * Candice Covington, author of Essential Oils in Spiritual Practice *“As the number of people embracing alternate healing modalities has increased, so has the popularity of books on essential oils, tinctures, and herbal remedies in general. I’ve read a lot of them and, while most of them are very good, this book has a particular clarity about it that makes it a stand out. Vasey includes quite a bit of scientific information in making his case for the effectiveness of herbal remedies.” * Anna Jedrziewski, Retailing Insight *Most of this book discusses principles and theories concerning infectious germs, the body’s defense mechanisms, and advantages of probiotics. The quarter of it that is devoted to essential oils offers good formulas to treat 50 infections with 18 oils, although ingesting 3-5 drops essential oil 3-4 times a day is far more than an aromatherapist would recommend. Grapefruit seed is repeatedly recommended, even though its antimicrobial properties are solely due to a synthetic antibiotic, as reported in the AHA Quarterly and an American Botanical Council 2012 paper. Vasey is a naturopath whose books include The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health. * American Herb Association Quarterly *
