The use of complement system/immunotherapy or antibiotocs or phage therapy to treat microbial diseases. We all know that resistance are increasing day by day specially in case of antibiotic then why we shouldn't we focusing to treat infections with natural way/innate way like through immunotherapy. Please share your opinions with solid reasons & what are the limitations?
Note: I am asking to treat microbial infections through any of the three above mentioned therapy tools.
Thanks
@Asst.Prof.Muthanna Hadi Hussain, if you don't mind can you please tell us the reason with example that why you prefer anti-sera.. We will be happy if you increase our knowledge regarding this.
Thanks..
I think, depending on the type of contagious agent to getting the suitable therapy
@Zina Hashem Shehab, Thank you for adding your valueable reply. As i asked about only pathogens (specially microbes), so as i read in different literature that antibiotic & even now few phages are showing resistance, & in near future phage therapy will also fail just like antibiotics, because of high resistance, so in my opinion immunotherapy is best from all. I know that immunotherapy is not cheapy therapy, but i think if scientist more focus on immunotherapy rather than on phage therapy/antibiotics, then this limitation can easily be cover. Immunotherapy is natural way to cure any infection, so innate way to treat any infection is best from all. What do you say about it? Thanks
Our body has its natural way of defending microbial infection, and it is much more effective than any medicine. The old adage of ‘feed a cold, starve a fever’ is ultimately true, and it should be read as "if we feed a cold, we have to starve a fever". So, whenever there is infection, stop eating and let the body to feed on the microorganisms. When we stop eating (fasting), our body will trigger autophagy (xenophagy) to directly eliminate the bacteria and use them as source of nutrition (immunonutrition):

Antibiotics are actually redundant and harmful to our body, as all bacterial are not dangerous and they are an indispensable source of nutrition if we keep ourselves fit by eating less and let autophagy always running inside our body. Use of antibiotics will dysbiosis and malnutrition:
