'It is a long-awaited book and answers many questions.' Jan de Vries When antibiotics were developed in the 1940s, they were hailed as a huge breakthrough in the treatment of bacterial infections, earning them the title of 'miracle drugs'. Since then they have become the most commonly prescribed drugs in the world. Now, however, studies indicate that massive over-prescribing is causing increasing problems, with the advent of antibiotic-resistant organisms, or 'superbugs' as they are commonly referred to. A recent report from the World Health Organisation gives stern warning about the dangers of the over-use of antibiotics. With this increasing awareness, people are rightly demanding alternatives for both themselves and their children. Dr McKenna covers these alternatives in detail, writing in simple terms with the minimum of scientific jargon. He compares conventional medicine and alternative medical approaches, recognising the benefits and drawbacks in both. By investigating herbal, homeopathic and nutritional medicines, he shows clearly that it is possible to treat infections without antibiotics, but also recognises when antibiotics may sometimes be necessary.

'A long-awaited book that answers many questions' Jan de Vries When antibiotics were developed in the 1940s, they were hailed as a huge breakthrough in the treatment of bacterial infections. Since then they have become the most commonly prescribed drugs in the world. However, massive over-prescribing is causing increasing problems. The advent of antibiotic-resistant organisms or 'superbugs' has more and more people demanding alternatives. Since it was published in 1996 'Alternatives to Antibiotics' has been translated into 16 languages and has been an international bestseller. 'Natural Alternatives to Antibiotics ' is a revised and updated edition of this important book. Dr John McKenna looks at the various strains of infections which have become resistant since his book was first published. He has expanded his sections on alternative, herbal, homeopathic and nutritional medicines, and shows directly that it is still possible to treat infections without antibiotics while still acknowledging the times that they may be necessary.

<p>The moment in which the Eucharistic gifts of bread and wine become the consecrated body and blood of Christ has long been a point of contention between the Churches of the East and West. John McKenna seeks to offer a separate approach to this issue by exploring the role of the epiclesis throughout history and proposing a theology that focuses on the efficiacy of the entire Eucharistic prayer.</p>
