That sure sounds hopeful. I just read about these near-doomsday bugs like staff infections.
Yeah, the reason why the drug companies have been reluctant to use natural stuff is because they can’t patent a natural product. However, they are trying to isolate the specific compounds that make the natural antibiotics work, relicate that, and package that so perhaps their legal departments have found a way for them to patent it.
Lemon oils, oil of oregano, orange oil, lavender essential oil, all are extremely good antibiotic oils to keep on hand. Honey can help keep wounds (after cleaning and debriding of course) from developing infection. Even regular sugar can too - but the bandages, honey and sugar need to be changed a couple times a day. Vet meds you can pick up at a farm supply store can help against infections.
