Antibiotics to use them or not? Also, natural antibiotics! topical and herbs to take

We have all taken antibiotics for some reason or another, there are many different kinds and your doctor decides which one is best for your condition. You take it for the week or two given and its great. But when its prescribed for acne its taken for months at a time and then comes the side effects. Nausea headaches,vomiting , diarrhea,  and tiredness but it helps the acne so you keep taking it. And then it stops working so you go back to the dr. and they give you another kind and another.... But the point is (which they often fail to mention) is that its not a cure, you cant take it for very long and you begin to build up a natural resistance to them. So if you ever need them for something more serious down the road they may not work as well. Now there's no need to panic, there are many kinds of antibiotics out there so odds are you have not been given the strongest kind. But just dont let your dr. shoo you out of his office with a new kind of antibiotic every three months. Now I am  not saying not to try them in fact when you find one that works its good to know in case you have a trip of event emergency and need clear skin fast. But just dont take them for months at a time and dont skip around with them (like take it for 3days and pick it up again in 4days and so on) it can increase your resistance to them.                                                                                                       Before I knew anything about them I had been on like 4 or 5 different kinds (at different times of course!)    and the only kind that worked for me was Amoxicillin  and at the time I was taking it for my tonsils and low and behold it cleared my acne !So I asked the dr. if I could take it for that and even though its not commonly used for acne he prescribed it, its a big white pill and more then I needed so I chopped it into 4 pieces and took 2to3 pieces a day or less.Its always good to start with the least amount first. But I have not taken any for years now and in that time I have been trying a more natural approach. And while I have not found my magic cure does not mean that these wont help you!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The first is called Guggul and its gum resin from a myrrh tree and said in studies to be as effective as tetracycline!  without gaining a resistance!  and this is  what I found on webmd                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

• For severe (nodulocystic) acne: a twice daily dose of guggul that contains up to 25 mg of the active ingredients called guggulsterones.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I did not see amazing results maybe I did not use it long enough? I took it for a month. Or maybe I was on tetracycline to long? or maybe wrong brand? I took swanson brand and I usually dont buy there brand  I like Natures way its from the U.S.A.                                                                                                            The next is garlic its a natural antibiotic and was regarded very highly in ancient times and though out history (just search it!) for its antibiotic purposes. I took it for two years and it worked great! But I realized I was probably taking too many at one time, because it does thin your blood at higher doses and once I brought the doseing down it did not work as well for me. But I have heard great results from other people so I would give it a try!                                                                                                                                              The others are  Olive leaf extract, oregano extract, manuka honey. and the short term-use ones are goldenseal,  echinacea, pau d arco, holy basil. and topical is colloidal silver, tee tree, sandalwood powder, holy basil, lavender oil.                                                                                                                                             Manuka honey is from Australia and is honey collected from bees that drink from tea trees. So its very antibacterial and it can be eaten and used on the skin, (it does have a slightly odd taste). And is currently being used to treat staph and to heal burns at hospitals.Colloidal silver is real silver and is crushed very fine and put into a gel base it can rapidly heal skin and is used in hospitals as well. Back in the roman days they would put a pure silver coin into there milk so it would not spoil. (I have not tried that one yet!)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         ( I will insert Disclaimer here; I am not a professional and recommend you take any herb or other things under the supervision of an homeopathic or your Doctor and I cannot be held responsible for any out come.)  and if you are on ANY medication always find out interactions that could interfere.                                                                                                                                     But however  since I have tried these things listed (and others) I would be happy to help you find any info you may me looking for and offer my experience with taking different herbs and help you make a decision!
