Traditional Medicine

When we ferment food, some add salt to slow down the spoilage.

What is spoilage?  

Dying, transformation of living matter into dust. Which is a natural process. 

So there is a transformation of bacteria into fungi to eat up the lifeless material.  Which is a good thing. Right?

"Virus" is the dead stuff our body expels. 

Antibiotics (synthetic drugs) kill bacteria indiscriminately, interfering with the body's restoration process.  Antibiotics offer no benefits vs natural remedies with so many balanced properties and nutrients to sustain life.  For example, lemon slows up oxidation.  "Research indicates that when essential oils are diffused, they can increase atmospheric oxygen and provide negative ions, breaking down potentially  harmful chemicals and rendering them nontoxic, inhibiting bacterial growth.  For example, cedarwood and frankincense can increase the levels of oxygen in the brain by up to 28%!"   Read more...

Natural remedies do not kill us.   Our body uses natural balanced remedies as it needs them.  On the contrary, drugs are robotic and perform one action.

I can see that using the word “antibacterial “ creates confusion.  I would not use it when talking about natural remedies.  Think of the king Tutankhamun's body preserved for thousands years with essential oils like myrrh.
