Skip to content Antibiotics are like swallowing an atomic bomb.
The body needs trillions of microorganisms to function and antibiotics kill indiscriminately and do not differentiate between microorganisms. No one knows exactly what is being killed with antibiotics and if essential microorganisms will grow back. Bacteria function as shadow organs throughout the body to help all body systems. Antibiotics cause many health problems from mental illness to gut issues to cancer.
Herbs for pain:
ginger, turmeric, butterbur, willow, chickweed, comfrey, cramp bark, feverfew, golden rod, calendula, yarrow, Jamaican dogwood. Different body systems benefit from different anti-inflammatory herbs.
Cramp bark, ginger and chamomile can help menstrual cramps.
Ginger and turmeric fresh root can be purchased at Whole Foods and can be stored in a freezer to stay fresh to be able to use on demand. They can also be fermented for added potency and to help them stay fresh. Use a peeler to make thin slices or shreds with a microplane shredder and cover the pieces in a glass jar with raw organic unfiltered honey for two weeks on the counter. After two weeks, it is ready and can be stored in the fridge.
Acetaminophen or Tylenol depletes the liver of glutathione, the molecule needed for detox. It is the leading cause of acute liver failure and liver transplants! Since vaccines have hundreds of mcg of heavy metals and carcinogens, giving Tylenol before or after vaccines, causes neurological damage, developmental delays, and immune issues, since it impairs the body’s ability to detox from the vaccine ingredients.
Children have a 70 percent greater risk for asthma if they took acetaminophen if it was once a year. Children who received acetaminophen once a month or more were five times more likely to have asthma. Acetaminophen is taken many times to lower a fever. A fever is important for the immune system to heal itself. Hippocrates said ‘give me a fever and I can cure any disease.’ Fever kills bacteria, viruses, and damaged cells. Suppressing a fever is suppressing a body’s ability to fight illness. The use of applied heat to induce a fever is actually a known alternative cancer therapy. Often the concern of a fever is the possibility of a seizure, yet these types of seizures do not cause long-term damage. They are the body’s way of shaking down a thermometer, to cool things down. A person with a fever can use herbs like turmeric to make themselves more comfortable.
Ibuprofen, the main ingredient in Advil and Motrin is less toxic than acetaminophen but it can cause ulcers, bleeding, or holes in the stomach or intestinal lining and may be a contributing cause of leaky gut syndrome and celiac disease. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen cause more than 100,000 hospitalizations and 16,000 deaths a year.

The strongest herbal analgesics are opium poppy extracts and cannabis products which are restricted. Cannabis can be obtained from a dispensary for medical purposes in many states and in some states it can be legally obtained without a medical need. Cannabis is the strongest herb for pain. It also has immense healing ability like killing cancer cells, reducing side effects from traditional cancer treatments, stopping seizures and healing GI issues.

Synthetic drugs have more serious side effects than the symptoms they are suppressing. Over the course of a decade, scientists predict that iatrogenic deaths will total around 7.8 million per year, and will be the leading cause of death.
Essential oils are the lifeblood of a plant and are very concentrated and potent natural plant medicine. Most oils are at least fifty times more potent than the herb from which they are derived. One drop of essential oil often represents the potency of one ounce of plant material. They can be easily purchased at Whole Foods or at a reliable company online. Only use pure essential oils derived from plants, not synthetics made in laboratories. Unlike herbs which get eaten, essential oils should not be ingested in most cases but should be applied to the skin (some need to be diluted) or breathed in.
Basil, oregano, myrrh, manuka, lavender, tea tree and rosemary are some herbs that can be used in essential oil form that are very potent against infection.
There are many essential oils for pain.
Turmeric oil can be rubbed on the hairline around the whole head to help a headache or fever. Peppermint oil is helpful for a headache but must be diluted with some oil like coconut oil and should be placed on temples far away from the eyes. Peppermint oil is too strong for a baby or young child. Clove oil and peppermint oil help tooth pain. Bergamot, cardamom, peppermint and turmeric help relieve muscle pain.
