Antibiotic

In the realm of Western medicine, antibiotics are meticulously engineered pharmaceutical agents purposed for the neutralization of bacterial pathogens. This approach is substantiated by rigorous clinical research conducted by Harvard Medical School Clinical Research Programs (Spellberg et al., 2008, Clinical Infectious Diseases).

The mechanism of action of antibiotics, particularly their influence on bacterial protein synthesis, is in congruence with data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) (Walsh, 2003, Nature Reviews Drug Discovery). These bioactive compounds are subjected to stringent clinical trials in compliance with FDA regulations (Wright, 2000, JAMA). Evidence-based guidelines for antibiotic utilization are endorsed by the Mayo Clinic Research Information Center and the USDA (Mandell et al., 2019, Clinical Infectious Diseases). In contrast, Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) employ a holistic methodology, often incorporating plant-based therapeutics in alignment with both Western and Eastern Herbalism Principles.
