I found that nature has some answers to this problem. Plants like barberry use a double punch to stay healthy. Invading microbes are hit with both a natural antibiotic plus another substance that disables the microbe’s defense against the antibiotic. Certain herbals, when used in their complete form, have a similar ability to get rid of specific microorganisms.

Two of the best herbals for intestinal health are oregano and thyme where complete herbal forms are used. An important helper, one that acts to reduce the stress that results from eliminating dysbiotic flora, is curcumin. Kirkman Labs has combined these herbals into an excellent product for restoring intestinal health – “CD-Herbal”.

Along with natural, herbal antibiotics, come certain probiotic flora, specific ones that have been documented to assist the eradication of undesired organisms while enhancing the beneficial ones. Two species of Lactobacillus are reported to do this – plantarum and rhamnosis. They help along with the assistance of Saccharomyces boulardii. S. boulardii is an amazing yeast that gets rid of other yeasts and then leaves of its own accord. Kirkman has combined these into “CD-Biotic”, and I highly recommend its use along with “CD-Herbal”.
