In recent decades, medical experts have warned of a looming health crisis due to superbugs resistant to antimicrobials. Such warnings have become dire, increasing the importance of each person ensuring the health and vitality of their immune system.
“For most of human history, infections have been one of the main causes of premature death,” Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, a board-certified internist and author of “You Can Heal from Long COVID,” told The Epoch Times in an email. “With the advent of antibiotics, we have forgotten how deadly infections truly can be.”

Yet, over time, bacterial strains have increasingly mutated, so they are no longer susceptible to the drugs’ eradicating effects. This has caused the emergence of superbugs, which are currently untreatable. A study recently published in The Lancet forecasts that 39.1 million deaths caused by antimicrobial resistance and 169 million deaths associated with antimicrobial resistance will occur between 2025 and 2050....
