Although a list of substances that boost the immune system are listed in a different chapter, the following substances are important antibiotic therapies that can greatly enhance general health and can be used to fight bacteria, fungi and parasites.
Garlic
Garlic is one of the most powerful natural antibacterials available and was used topically in both world wars when penicillin or other antiseptic medicines ran out. Garlic has shown to kill over sixty species of mould and twenty species of bacteria. Certain MRSA species have also been identified among these bacteria.
Garlic has shown to have anti-cancer properties and the ability to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. The primary active constituent is alliin, which gets transformed to allicin. Allicin is what gives garlic its potent smell.
1mg of allicin is equivalent to 15 standard units of penicillin. Therefore, 100mg of allicin is equivalent to one full dose of penicillin.
To ensure that the highest percentage of alliin gets converted to allicin, garlic needs to be crushed so that the chemical reaction creating allicin can occur.
Besides its antibiotic potential, garlic is a powerful yet natural detoxifier. Garlic contains numerous sulphur components, including the most valuable sulphhydryl groups, which oxidise mercury, cadmium and lead, making them water-soluble. Once these metals are water-soluble, it is easy for the body to eliminate them.
Selenium is an ingredient in garlic that protects the body from mercury toxicity. For centuries garlic has been a very valuable natural remedy and should not be forgotten in any health protocol.
Oregano oil
Oregano has been found to contain several powerful antioxidants such as phenolic acids and flavonoids, which protect the body from harmful toxins like cancer causing free radicals. Oregano has been dubbed as ‘the best’ essential oil for the killing of microbial pathogens, bacteria, fungus, yeast and molds. It has been shown to be especially effective against the following bacteria:
- Escherichia coli (E. Coli)
- Candida albicans
- Bacillus cereus
- Proteus
- Cryptococcus neoformans
- Staphylococcus aureus (hence MRSA)
- Streptococcus pneumoniae
- Pseudomonas aerugiosa
- Salmonella.
Oregano can be taken as fresh or dried leaves, it can also be consumed orally or used topically as oil.
Manuka Honey
Honey has been used since ancient times to treat multiple conditions. It wasn't until the late 19th century that researchers discovered that honey has natural antibacterial qualities.
Honey protects against damage caused by bacteria. Manuka honey also stimulates production of special cells that can repair tissue damaged by infection. In addition, honey has an anti-inflammatory action that can quickly reduce pain and inflammation once it’s applied.
The major antibacterial component in Manuka honey is methylglyoxal (MG). MG is thought to give Manuka honey its antibacterial power. The higher the concentration of MG, the stronger the antibiotic effect.
Honey producers have developed a scale for rating the potency of Manuka honey. The rating is called UMF, which stands for Unique Manuka Factor.
Manuka honey is mainly used for healing wounds. In one study Manuka honey was compared to antiseptics. Manuka was significantly better with much shorter times for healing, eradication of infection, use of systemic antibiotics and hospital stay.
Manuka honey has been most thoroughly characterised and is commercially available as a topical medical treatment for wound infections. It is becoming evident that honeys are more than just bactericidal, as they impact on biofilm formation, quorum sensing and the expression of virulence factors.
Propolis
Propolis has a long history of use in folk medicine and was even used as a conventional doctor’s drug in London in the 1600s.
The health benefits of propolis are:
- Anti-fungal activity
- Anti-inflammatory
- Enhancement of immune system
- May show activity against cancer cells
- Elimination of oral bacteria with an alcohol based mouth rinse with propolis.
The most studied effects of propolis is against candidas. Propolis showed effect on:
- Twenty strains of Candida albicans
- Twenty strains of Candida tropicalis
- Twenty strains of Candida krusei
- Fifteen strains of Candida guilliermondii.
Please be careful, some people are highly allergic to bee products like bee pollen, propolis and honey!!
Zapper by Dr. Hulda Clark
The zapper is a device invented by Dr. Clark. It electrically kills parasites, bacteria, viruses, moulds and fungi.
In her book ‘The Prevention of all Cancers’, Dr. Clark states that she has seen no side effects on blood pressure, mental alertness, or body temperature. It has never produced pain, although it has often stopped pain instantly.
The zapper uses a 30 KHz frequency at a voltage of about 5 volts, which can be felt by all parts of the body.
MMS Miracle Mineral Solution
Miracle Mineral Supplement, (Miracle Mineral Solution) is a well-known mineral solution and a water purifier that produces a compound approved as a water purifier in many municipal water systems. Activated Miracle Mineral Solution is harnessed by the immune system to safely obliterate pathogens in the human body.
MMS is 28% sodium chlorite (NaClO2). Combining with acid briefly produces chlorous acid (HClO2), which in sequential steps oxidises ambient chlorite (ClO2-) to create chlorine dioxide (ClO2).
Chlorine dioxide, as proven through research, is much safer than chlorine. It is selective for pathogens and is not creating carcinogenic compounds, which chlorine does.
In 1999, the American Society of Analytical Chemists stated that chlorine dioxide is the most powerful pathogen killer known to man.
Miracle Mineral Supplement does not do the curing, it simply kills the pathogens that kill or diminish the power of the person’s immune system, thus allowing the immune system to kick in and clear out the diseased cells and the body can heal itself.
For this reason, it is also recommended (if desired) to take some sort of probiotic to help build your body’s own immune system.
Jim Humble, the man who discovered MMS, suggests that our natural immune system cures our ailments. Only the body can heal the body. Humble has treated and cured over 75,000 malaria victims in Malawi, Africa. So far, MMS has a 100% cure rate for Malaria.
The pathogen-fighting action of chlorine dioxide eventually results in a Herxheimer reaction. This occurs when bacteria die and large amounts of toxins are released into the body due to antibiotic treatment or fast detoxification.
This explains why most people get the impression that chlorine dioxide supplements tend to worsen their condition. This is an unpleasant feeling that usually consists of nausea and diarrhea caused by ‘die-off’. Die-off refers to the pathogens in your body that are killed or destroyed by the CLO2 (chlorine dioxide, activated MMS). As these pathogens die off, the symptoms can become more severe.
The more pathogens that are present, the stronger or earlier the Herxheimer reaction will be. In simple terms, the sicker you are, (or the more you have wrong with you) the more intense your reaction may be.

Ozone
Ozone therapy is able to destroy viruses:
Viruses are very simple microbes, they can't do much by themselves, and instead they need a host cell. Viruses get inside a host cell and take over the controls, once they have taken over a virus; it very quickly replicates more viruses and releases them into the body.
Ozone destroys viruses by diffusing through the protein coat into the nucleic acid core, resulting in damage of the viral RNA. Numerous families of viruses including Polio virus I and 2, human Rota virus, Norwalk virus, Parvo viruses, Hepatitis A, B, Adenoviridae, Picornaviridae, Polio virus, Coxsachie, Echo virus, Rhino virus among many others, are susceptible to the virucidal actions of ozone.
Unlike healthy cells, which posses’ complex enzyme systems (superoxide dismustase, catalase, peroxidase) virus have no protections against oxidative stress, therefore making virus vulnerable to ozone.
Ozone therapy is able to destroy bacteria:
Bacteria work differently than viruses. They are small single celled creatures which do NOT need a host cell. However they are very sly.
Bacteria need very specific nutrients to survive and multiply themselves and they require a very special milieu to thrive. If they do not find the right nutrients or the environment is not perfect for their needs they simply hibernate and wait till the right food source to comes along.
Ozone interferes with the metabolism of bacterium cells, most likely through inhibiting and blocking the operation of the enzymatic control system. A sufficient amount of ozone breaks through the cell membrane, and this leads to the destruction of the bacteria.
Medical ozone is more bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal than any other natural substance. Some studies proved that ozone infused into donated blood samples can kill viruses 100% of the time. Ozone, because of its special biologic properties, has theoretical and practical attributes to make it a potent hepatitis C virus (HCV) inactivator, which suggests an important role in the therapy for hepatitis C.
This study included 52 patients with chronic hepatitis C (positive polymerase chain reaction [PCR] for HCV RNA and raised serum alanine transaminase [ALT] for more than 6 months). All patients were subjected to meticulous history taking and clinical examination. Complete blood count, liver function tests, and abdominal ultrasonography were requested for all patients. The ozone group included 40 patients who received major autohemotherapy, minor autohemotherapy, and rectal ozone insufflation. The other 12 patients (conventional group) received silymarin and/or multivitamins. Results: There were significant improvements of most of the presenting symptoms of the patients in the ozone group in comparison to the conventional group. ALT and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels normalized in 57.5% and 60% in the ozone group, respectively, in comparison to 16.7% and 8% in the conventional group, respectively. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for HCV RNA was negative among 25% and 44.4% after 30 and 60 sessions of ozone therapy, respectively, in comparison to 8% among the conventional group.

Hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide has the chemical formula of H2O2 and contains one more atom of oxygen than water (H2O).
When ozone mixes with moisture in the air, it forms hydrogen peroxide, which comes down in rain and snow. It occurs naturally in fresh fruits and vegetables, some coming from rain and some manufactured during photosynthesis. Hydrogen peroxide is also found in mother's milk, with an especially high concentration in colostrum (the first milk secreted, right after birth).
We have probably all witnessed the bubbling of hydrogen peroxide when it comes in contact with a bacteria laden cut or even when we clean our toothbrush. The bubbles are the oxygen, which is released while the bacteria is being killed.
Lactobacillus, found in our colon, produce hydrogen peroxide to destroy harmful bacteria and viruses.
When hydrogen peroxide comes in contact with other substances it splits readily into oxygen and water. This oxygen atom is then very reactive and referred to as a free radical. Our body creates and uses free radicals to kill harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi. Exactly the same happens with the free oxygen from the hydrogen peroxide; it kills unwanted intruders.
Many diseases can be treated with hydrogen peroxide. All viral, bacterial, fungal or parasitic infections will especially benefit.
Colds, influenza, herpes, sore throats, gum disease, infected wounds and burns, MRSA, pneumonia, hepatitis, infectious mononeucleosis, lyme, vaginal thrush, bowel disorders, prostatitis, systemic candiasis and cystitis to name some diseases that will benefit.
Only 35% Food Grade hydrogen peroxide is recommended for internal use. But at this concentration hydrogen peroxide is a very strong oxidiser and extremely dangerous. It needs to be diluted down to a concentration of 3%.
10g of 35% Hydrogen peroxide mixed with 110g of distilled water makes a close to 3% Hydrogen peroxide solution. Several drops of this solution is then taken in a glass of chlorine free water on an empty stomach.
There is no controversy about H2O2 being used topically (i.e. externally) or with an I.V. However, there is a major controversy about whether it should be taken orally.
Robert O. Young, PhD, recommends against taking H2O2 internally. In his book ‘Sick and Tired?’ he states:
‘Some health practitioners have given hydrogen peroxide internally to patients. There have been some reports of success with this but it is highly controversial. My opinion is that it should never be used internally for any reason. For one thing, it is not a nutrient and the risk of it combining in the body with superoxide is too great.’
His reasoning is that if superoxide and hydrogen peroxide react with each other, they form one of the most active (i.e. dangerous) free radicals of all - hydroxyl radical, OH.
‘The most common form of hydrogen peroxide therapy used by doctors is as an intravenous drip. For use at home, some individuals add a cup of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide [or 10 cups of 3%] to a bathtub of warm water and soak for 20 to 30 minutes as the hydrogen peroxide is absorbed through the skin. Others drink a glass of water to which several drops or more of food or reagent grade hydrogen peroxide have been added [note: use Food Grade H2O2]. Although there have been reports of improved health with oral use, physicians like Dr. Farr believed that taking hydrogen peroxide orally could have a corrosive and tumorous effect on the stomach and small intestine and advised against using it. There is animal research supporting this caution.
Hydrogen peroxide can chemically react with certain other substances.
This chemical reaction creates a very toxic substance which can severely damage the stomach.
To avoid this chemical reaction, there is a ‘three hour window’ every time you take H2O2, where you should not consume certain substances. This three hour window does not apply to hydrogen peroxide baths because it only applies to what goes on inside the stomach.
For two hours BEFORE taking hydrogen peroxide orally (with water) and for one hour AFTER taking hydrogen peroxide, the foods in this section should be avoided!! This is a three hour window during which you should not take these substances!!
- All forms of vitamin C should be avoided. This especially applies to ascorbate forms, but all forms eventually turn into ascorbates, thus no form of Vitamin C should be used inside the three hour window. This includes avoiding multi-vitamins which contain vitamin C, ascorbic acid, mineral ascorbates (e.g. sodium ascorbate, potassium carbonate, etc.).
- Fatty acids, such as the Budwig Diet, fish oils, fatty foods, etc. should also be avoided during the three hour window. In other words, all forms of fat in foods are forbidden within the window.
- Any food with iron in it or any supplement with iron in it, is forbidden within the window.
If the above rules are not followed then the treatment can cause severe stomach damage!! Hydrogen peroxide treatment should be administered by a qualified practitioner.
Colloidal Silver
Silver has long been recognised in recorded history as having germicidal properties. In 69 B.C. silver nitrate was described in the contemporary pharmacopoeia. In ancient Greece, Rome, Phoenecia and Macedonia, silver was used extensively to manage many immune challenges. From the time man first learned to work with silver he has known that it delayed the spoilage of foods and that it reduced the symptoms of illness. Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, used silver and instructed that it promoted tissue repair and was a notable topical aid. In the days before refrigeration, farmers tossed a silver coin into a bucket of milk to preserve it. Chemists put silver dimes in Petri dishes to sterilize them. For many years it had been common practice to place silver wires and threads around infected wounds that refused to heal.
Silver inhibits the growth of bacteria by deactivating the bacteria’s oxygen metabolism enzymes. In turn, this destroys the bacteria’s cell membranes, stopping the replication of the bacteria’s DNA.
All colloidal silvers are not the same. Most manufacturers of colloidal silver dodge the subject of actual efficacy, spending time and focus explaining their ‘high tech’ manufacturing process, debating particle size, particle energy, colour of fluid etc.
The silver we would suggest is ACS 200, which provides proven bacterial kill time and FDA protocol toxicology studies from certified independent third party labs. Formulated for health care practitioners exclusively, Results RNA ACS 200 is the most carefully researched and scientifically tested medical grade colloidal silver formula available.
As shown from independently derived studies, ACS 200 has been proven capable of rapidly killing an enormous array of disease causing organisms - literally oxidising the cell wall of gram positive and gram negative bacteria as well as naked virus, and all without damaging human tissue.
