that is the most widely prescribed drug in this country and I believe in the US also. But the list of problems acrewing
00:00:06
from long-term use is beginning to grow and is serious cancers, dementias. But the other thing is is that once you're
00:00:13
on it, it's really difficult to come off it. And that's not all. We use far too many antibiotics and that's coming a
00:00:19
serious health issue now because the number of people dying from antibiotic resistance infections is beginning to
00:00:25
rise dramatically. It's quite frightening. So, are there alternatives on this table that I should also
00:00:31
consider as a form of medicine? Oh, yes. And most of these ones I'm going to be talking about have a pretty
00:00:36
immediate effect. Now, have a bite of this. Wo. These things have medicinal properties.
00:00:42
So, let's start with dark chocolate. In terms of long-term brain health and cardiovascular health, it's one of the
00:00:48
best medicines around. Really? Oh, yes. The next one is garlic. And in some parts of the world, they use garlic
00:00:54
instead of penicellin. In fact, there was an old trick where if you had enough garlic, breathe on a petri dish and you
00:00:59
could kill various pathogens just by your breath. Wow. And then there's this to reduce your
00:01:04
cholesterol levels. This can really help with your eyesight. This is your blood flow, gut health, cardiovascular health.
00:01:10
Now, this is one of the ones to watch in terms of long-term brain health. Rosemary, we actually did a clinical
00:01:16
trial on this. All you need to do is press it and sniff. So, you can see why some of this stuff already is powerful.
00:01:21
Now, we have some more to go through. And this is where it gets interesting. There's a lot of people listening who
00:01:26
will want to hear this. Coffee. Oh god, what do I need to know?
