STOP Deadly Infections with THIS “Green” Cure

Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
With the COVID-19 pandemic, we quickly saw how fast one little virus can get out of control and leave millions sick… or dead.
On top of that, we’re facing an antibiotic-resistant crisis that only promises to get worse as overprescribing continues.
It showed us how important it is to keep looking for new ways to fight back – or even better, PREVENT – deadly infections from viruses and bacteria.
And now researchers have found something that could do just that.
It’s a strange “green” cure and it’s defeating even the most antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
You’ve probably heard of cannabidiol (CBD). It’s practically a buzzword in the natural health community.
That’s thanks to its powers against anxiety, insomnia, epilepsy, and pain (to name just a few).
Plus, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does NOT make you have that high feeling, despite it coming from the marijuana plant.
But there’s even MORE to the story…
A new research study suggests that CBD can help fight infections… even those tough – and sometimes deadly – ones that antibiotics CAN’T fight.
Researchers at the University of Queensland found that CBD disintegrated a type of dangerous germ called gram-negative bacteria in a two-week lab study.
Gram-negative bacteria are a type of bacteria responsible for conditions such as legionnaire’s disease, gonorrhea, meningitis, and the antibiotic-resistant superbug called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
These pesky bacteria are especially adept at developing antibiotic resistance, thanks to biofilm.
Biofilm is how bacteria protect themselves, by developing a slimy shield that repels antibiotics.
Thankfully, CBD can pierce through this shield and DESTROY dangerous bacteria from within.
Does that mean you should reach for CBD to fix every infection? Not just yet.
But if you are taking CBD for sleep, anxiety, pain, or any other reason, know that CBD can also help your immune system combat invaders.
It took some time getting FDA approval (no surprise there), but CBD is now available in most states.
Talk with your doctor or an integrative physician about adding CBD to your regimen.
P.S. CBD isn’t just for infections. It can also fight back against this fatal brain disease. Read more here.
