Really? How do you demonstrate that a "natural cure" is effective? Do we just take the village priest's word for it, or would it be a good idea to apply the scientific method to test whether something is an old wives tale, or actually effective?
Just a proper diet will provide the natural protection, and there is no need to get sick.
Could you please explain the proper diet that will provide the natural protection against the bubonic plague? How about smallpox? Or what about malaria?
You do have to consume a natural diet to benefit therefrom.
Taking an antibiotic leaves you succeptible to every bug that comes along for a long time. Killing the beneficial organisms destroys your production of B vitamins, which are made in the small intestine. that can lead to numerous endocrinal syndromes that will leave you fatigued, in pain from head to toe, blurry vision, loss of control of blood sugar (too much or too little), loss of thyroid function, leaving you with a low body temperature, and thus unable to fight a virus quickly enough to prevent long term infection, loss of pineal or pituitary function, and adrenal function, thus unable to sleep properly. Antibiotics are really great!
Ever seen anybody with Thrush? Just another benefit of modern medicine. Yeast infection? Same cause. Love the stuff.
