From the back cover:
The Essential Guide to Building Your Natural Defenses
Bacterial infections are on the rise, and pharmaceutical antibiotics are increasingly powerless to stop them. Pathogenic bacteria are tenacious survivors; they outsmart modern medicine and become virulent “superbugs,” resistant to antibiotics and increasingly deadly.
Stephen Harrod Buhner offers conclusive evidence that plant medicines, with their complex mix of multiple antibiotic, systemic, and synergistic compounds, should be our first line of defense against resistant infections. His indispensable reference explains the roots of antibiotic resistance, explores the value of herbal treatments, and provides in-depth profiles of the most reliably effective herbs, giving you the confidence to identify the best herbal formulas and make medicines yourself.”
Stephen Harrod Buhner is the award-winning author of fourteen books, including Sacred Plant Medicine, The Lost Language of Plants, Healing Lyme, Ensouling Language, Herbs for Hepatitis C and the Liver, and The Secret Teaching of Plants. Stephen answers questions about his herbal protocol for lyme disease on the stand-alone Planet Thrive affiliate website BuhnerHealingLyme.com.

This second edition is a HUGE improvement over the first edition. Read the new preface to the second edition on Amazon for Buhner’s overview of the changes. For instance, the first edition was 144 pages; the second edition is a whopping 480 pages, over three times larger—lots of new info and all updated info. I’d actually call this an entirely new book, not just a “second edition.” this info is vital to all humans, and in my view, the book is an essential resource for every home library. i plan to buy extra copies for gifts. Enjoy!
