PROBLEM Antibiotic is one of the most often prescribed medicine in the world. Is it always necessary to cure diseases using chemical synthetical antibiotics? Antibiotics cause a number of side reactions, eliminate useful microbes, immunity weakens, and fungi appear in the entire organism. People have to come back to natural substances.
THE AIM OF THE WORK • To analyze if folk medicine is popular in our school community. • To analyze if pupils’ morbidity in various cold diseases depends on the way they are cured: using synthetical antibiotics or drug plants. • To expand school community members’ view, to evoke their interest in natural powers.
We were interested in: Is folk medicine popular in our school community? What is parents’ choice when their children are sick: chemical pills or folk medicine recipes? What to choose: synthetical vitamins or vegetables and fruit? Does pupils’ morbidity depend on the way they are cured?

Experiments • I. Preparation of different herbs: Curative substance of herbs was extracted by water, oil and ethyl alcohol. We made garlic tincture, nettle tincture, grapefruit seed extract, calendula tincture, oily extracts of marjoram, calendula and comfrey, decoction of wormwood and nettle. There are herb preparations made by us in the exposition with indication how to use and prepare them. That is a visual material of project members. We determined that it is easy to make herb preparations under home conditions.
Experiments • II. Influence of natural antibiotics to various fungi: 1. It was analyzed how grapefruit seed extract affect the fungus in the pot plant soil. 20 drops of grapefruit seed extract was put into 200 ml of water. The plant was watered with this liquid. We determined, that after the grapefruit seed extract was poured on the “white spot” in the soil (fungus), it became brown in two days. The spot wasn’t seen after some time, fungus disappeared. Conclusion: grapefruit seed extract serves for a pot plant soil “treatment” from fungi.
Experiments 2. It was analyzed how grapefruit seed extract affect fungi. Klaipeda district Food and Veterinary Service Microbiology Laboratory gave us special hotbed for growing fungi. We sowed the spores of a fungus. We kept it in 25°C temperature. Fungus germinated in two days. One sample was trickled with 30% of grapefruit seed extract (sample 2). We determined that the fungus disappeared in one day after dripping it with grapefruit seed extract. After seeding the spores of cereal mould in the third sample and dripping with extract, the spores didn’t germinate. Garlic juice was dripped on the sown spores in sample 4. We determined that garlic does not devour the spores of fungus completely (sample 4).
Experiments Conclusion: natural antibiotic that is in grapefruit seed extract devour the spores of fungi very well. We recommend to clean bread bins, fridges with liquor of grapefruit seed extract to protect from various fungi.
Preparation of herbs at home • Liquids are measured by milliliters (ml.) A glass – 200 ml A tablespoon – 15 ml A teaspoon - 5 ml • Raw material (leaves, blooms, grass, roots) is measured by grams (g). Dried and shredded leaves, blooms and grass: A tablespoon – 5 g.

Compress • A piece of gauze bandage folded several times and moistened in decoction is put on a wound or a painful part of a body. • A squash of a fresh plant is put in a gauze bandage and put on a painful place. Tea and mixtures • Made of one or several kinds of plants according to certain proportions mixing them on a sheet of paper. Then they are poured with boiling water and used according to indications. Made tea can not be kept longer than two days, because it becomes sour and harmful.
Influence of natural antibiotics to various fungi It was analyzed how grapefruit seeds extract affects the fungus in the soil of a pot plant. THE PLANT IN THE POT STARTED WITHERING, BECAUSE ITS ROOTS WERE BLASTED BY THE FUNGUS. It was determined that fungus disappeared in three daysfrom the extract of grapefruit seeds. .
It was analyzed how the extract of grapefruit seeds affect the funguses 3 1 2 1 - control, 2- extract of grapefruit seeds was instilled on a germinated fungus 3- extract of grapefruit seeds was instilled on sown spores of fungus
It was analyzed how garlic juice affect funguses 2 1 1-control, 2- garlic juice on a germinated fungus
It was analyzed how antibiotics affect funguses 1 2 1 – control, 2 – antibiotic amoxicillinum
Grapefruit seeds extract On the contrary to synthetic antibiotics, grapefruit seeds extract affect both viruses and fungi, as well as other parasites. Grapefruit seeds extract affect about 800 different bacteria strains and about 100 kinds of fungi. This natural product meets all the requirements of medicine, and almost has no side reactions: •Grapefruit seeds extract affect many potentially harmful microorganisms, but it does not affect useful bacteria in mouth, throat, intestines and vagina. •Grapefruit seeds extract strengthens and stimulates immune system of an organism.
Necessary to have at home: 1. Bruises a) comfrey oil; b) a bottle of apple cider vinegar. 2. Cuts, wounds, scrapes a) a little jar of honey; b) a pinch of dried yarrow; c) calendula ointment. 3. Burns and scalds a) nettle extract; b) aloe. 4. Herbs for treatment of simple cold If you suspect that you got a cold, eat many onions and refuse milk and eggs, because they induce the organism to produce phlegm. Drink hot water, with honey and lemon juice and ginger powder. Drink hot herbs tea every two hours.
A POT WITH ALOE SHOULD BE IN EVERY KITCHEN. TTHEN, EVERY TIME YOU NEED, YOU CAN CUT A THICK, SUCCULENT LEAF AND PRESS CLEAR JELLY ON A WOUND.

How to dose garlic properly It is advisable to use garlic constantly for prophylaxis and treatment of illnesses. It is enough to eat 2-3 pieces of garlic a day. For treatment of diarrhoea, 5-10 pieces of garlic must be eaten. (This “dose” of the day must be eaten in several times.) In general, garlic must be eaten often, but in small portions, because a too big quantity of garlic oil can excite a sensitive stomach. Garlic “pills” must be taken according to producer’s recommendations, and garlic tincture is taken 2-3 times a day, about 15 drops.
No matter how a person is proud of his intelligence, he realizes at last that he is dependent on Nature. Nature is generous. Community comes back to its roots. Both society and scientific world recognize anew the dependence on Nature and its generosity.
