Detrimental Bacteria - Substances that Inhibit/Kill

These Substances may Inhibit/Kill various forms of Detrimental Bacteria

Substances that can kill or inhibit detrimental Bacteria are said to possess Antibiotic properties.

Alkaloids

       Berberine may inhibit the growth of some forms of Detrimental Bacteria.  ^[1]

Amines

       Diphenylamine may destroy many forms of Detrimental Bacteria.  

Amino Acids

       Glutamine may enhance the ability of Neutrophils to destroy Detrimental Bacteria.  ^[2]

       Taurine may improve the ability of Neutrophils to destroy DetrimentalBacteria.  

Antibiotics

   Bacteriocins(endogenous Antibiotics produced by Beneficial Bacteria, e.g. Acidophilin and Bulgarican) suppress/kill many forms of Detrimental Bacteria.  ^[3]

Carbohydrates

       Astragalan B may suppress several forms of Detrimental Bacteria.  

       Beta 1,3 Glucan may suppress many types of Detrimental Bacteria (via its ability to activate Macrophages).  

       Beta 1,6 Glucan (a component of Maitake Mushrooms) may suppress many forms of Detrimental Bacteria.  

       Echinacin may suppress some types of Detrimental Bacteria.  

Complementary Therapies

       Oxygen Therapy (employing low, controlled doses of Hydrogen Peroxide or Ozone) may kill many forms of Detrimental Bacteria.  

Electromagnetic Radiation

       Exposure to Sunlight may kill most forms of Detrimental Bacteria.  ^[4]

Digestive Juices

       Hydrochloric Acid may kill some forms of Detrimental Bacteria in the Stomach and Small Intestine.  ^[5]

       Saliva may kill some forms of Detrimental Bacteria in the Mouth before it enters the bloodstream.

Enzymes

       Lysozyme (released from Lysosomes when stimulated by Phagocytes) may protect the Eyes, Skin, Mucous Membranes and endogenous chemicals within the body from many forms of Detrimental Bacteria.
