<\/a>Da,<\/strong><\/p>\n

When we had strep throat as kids, my brothers, sister, and I were given a spoonful of penicillin then sent to bed. We stayed home from school for a couple days until we felt better.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today this simple sore throat can be deadly… Here\u2019s why.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Decades of misuse and overuse of antibiotics have caused us to lose our power to fight infections.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, drug-resistant infections of all kinds are expected to kill 10 million people by 2050.1<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, the problem is even worse than we thought. For decades, doctors have been fighting antibiotic-resistant infections by increasing the dosage of drugs they prescribe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This worked for a little while… But ultimately, these mega doses created bacteria with \u201chigher overall fitness,\u201d according to a recent study from the University of Manchester\u2019s School of Biological Sciences.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In other words, they\u2019re reproducing at record speeds \u2013 which could result in even more resistant bacteria.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If nothing changes, diseases and deaths from minor occurrences like cuts, diarrhea, and urinary tract infections could soon become the norm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The germ that caused my strep throat infection is called\u00a0Streptococcus<\/em>. The CDC reports that from 2013 to 2019 \u2013 just six years \u2013 infections from this bug have quadrupled!2<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to step back and re-examine the natural cures our ancestors used for thousands of years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Concerned these natural cures won\u2019t protect you from an infection? A recent study found herbal antibiotic remedies are\u00a0just as effective<\/em>\u00a0in treating bacterial overgrowth as chemical antibiotics.3<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the herbs I\u2019ve been researching is CBD. So, I was relieved to see that\u00a0a study published just this week revealed CBD can effectively kill antibiotic-resistant superbugs<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 specifically gram-negative bacteria.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These bacteria are one of the most significant public health problems in the world. Gram-negative bacteria are responsible for food poisoning, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, meningitis, sepsis, gonorrhea, and gastroenteritis. This type of bacteria has existed for centuries. Even the bubonic plague in the 14th century was caused by gram-negative bacteria, resulting in an epidemic that wiped out 50% of Europe\u2019s population.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CBD study, published in the journal\u00a0Communications Biology<\/em>, is being hailed as a medical breakthrough around the world. This research could lead to the first new antibiotic treatment in more than 60 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gram-negative bacteria have a tough extra outer membrane that acts as an additional line of defense. And this makes it harder for traditional antibiotic drugs to penetrate it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the cannabidiol in CBD kills bacteria by breaking through this outer cell membrane.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The study comes on the heels of research published in 2020. In this Danish study, scientists found combining CBD with traditional antibiotics makes antibiotic medications much more effective at destroying gram-positive bacteria, like staph and strep.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When researchers treated the bacteria with this combination, three things happened:<\/strong><\/p>\n
