Officials from the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control have reported that the overuse of antibiotics in medicine has created an epidemic of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Doctors fear that if antibiotic use is not curtailed, we may soon approach the day when untreatable infections are rampant. In Beyond Antibiotics, Drs. Schmidt, Smith, and Sehnert explore the problems presented by the overuse of these drugs. More importantly, they show how to build immunity, improve resistance to infections, and avoid antibiotics when possible.

EXCELLENT!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond Antibiotics: 50 (or so) Ways to Boost Immunity and Avoid Antibiotics Second Edition (Paperback)
I work in the Health and Fitness field.I am also an athlete who exercises,eats perfectly and takes appropriate vitamins.....but for as long as I can remember I always had some sort of cold or cough at least once a month and guaranteed illness after serious athletic competition.The Doctors felt it was because of my work and my exposure to 100`s of people a day, and in a way they were right.The true problem was the stregnth of my immune system. Now 6 months since I read the book,I havent been sick a single day!The chapter on Vitamin C had the strongest effect on my current state of "Wellness". My thanks to the Authors ! Outstanding !

Unsubstantiated Hooey,

This review is from: Beyond Antibiotics: 50 (or so) Ways to Boost Immunity and Avoid Antibiotics Second Edition (Paperback)
Hoping to find some real alternatives to antibiotics, I was sorely disappointed. This book is just the same old "naturalist" magical thinking. Filled with wild, unsubstantiated claims both against antibiotics (and doctors in general) and for a "natural" lifestyle, the authors put forth the same tired thesis: Eat only vegetables, move out of the city, and consume vitamin C in doses equivalent to 2000 oranges a day and you'll never get sick." They do offer some natural aid to alleviate symptoms when the magic inevitably fails, but no real remedies to help your body kill bacteria. Their theory appears to be that bacteria are a figmet of the modern hypochondriac's imagination.If you're sick, go to the doctor. Don't waste your money on this book.
