If you've got a serious gut or other infection, you may need the antibiotics.
So let's put that straight away.
But if you've got a cold, flu, virus, a viral problem, particularly the airways...
A, antibiotics will have no use at all, and B, as we just said, they just add to the risk of more.
Because every time you take an antibiotic, you're growing a small population of the species of bacteria that's affected who are resistant to that.
It's natural selection.
You know, you have a thousand little bacteria, that's a small amount by their terms, and you kill 999 of them.
The one that survives will then become two in 20 minutes and four in 40 minutes and suddenly become a new population.
And, you know, I duck that bullet.
And so that group of bacteria will already be...
resistant so we're creating resistance every time we use an antibiotic so try let's try and doing something else shall we so let's say you've got a cold you're feeling the cold it's got a good name by the way so cold is one of the things you feel when you've got a cold and that's interesting because in former times we didn't have tests we didn't have laboratories we didn't have paramedics we didn't have people poking things in you all we could know is what it felt like
And when you've got a cold, you often feel cold and you feel chills and you want to wrap up and you want hot water or you want to have a hot bath.
All that in the old language meant that you were cold and what you needed to do was to heat up.
Now you take this fella, this is Ginger.
It's grown widely around the world.
And its original Asian form, it was made extinct around the time of the Romans.
So popular was it.
And ever since, all the ginger scents of this species has got to be coming from rootstock because it no longer seeds itself.
So this has been the most valuable natural commodity ever.
in its dried form, worth more than its weight in gold.
