“...they needed prolonged antibiotics to save life or limb.”

Due to infection?

That’s one of just many. My only advice is to make sure to add one oak leaf in each jar. The tannins and sticky sap on the leaf keep them crisp and bring exactly the right lactobacillus bacteria for fermentation. Once I get my ideal batch I hold back a jar of juice as the primer culture for each subsequent batch. Kinda like sourdough starter.

Re long term antibiotics...

Our hospital had an aggressive program to treat diabetic ulcers that often infected deeply and sometimes into the bone...osteomyelitis.

If you didn’t treat long enough the infection would return.

The alternative is amputation.

My Podiatrist clipped my left foot’s big toe bone, while taking a nail sample, and it got infected — osteomyelitis — and I had to get it amputated. Didn’t hurt, but removing the 13 stitches was a terrible lot of pain. Antibiotics, tetracyclines and steroids didn’t work.
