the general picture, the issues (such as the highly topical ‘superbug’ – antibiotic resistant bacteria), and the future
• antibiotic alternatives – including the herb echinacea which is one of the most popular over-the-counter herbal supplements
• natural ways to counteract side-effects when you need to have a course of antibiotics

• Book includes an anti-candida diet and methods to fight infection such as herbal and vitamin therapy, hydrotherapy and fasting
