I will try to explain as simply as possible how do antibiotic-resistant-infections come to be.
Infections are caused by Microbes (Bacteria, Viruses), which are living organisms. And any living organism has survival as a basic ability, survival is stronger than programing and anything.
So when a human or an animal gets an infection, we treat it with Antibiotics which kills the microbes that have invaded our body.
The problem is that Antibiotics attack the microbes in One or Two ways. I said i'll try to simplify it and won't go into the scientific explanations. Here is an example:
Imagine the following. One person is a good guy (your body) and the other 50 people are bad guys (viruses, bacteria). And the good guy has to kill the bad guys in order to save himself. But he only has a knife (antibiotic), so he goes and starts stabbing the bad guys. Now, the bad guys (viruses, bacteria) want to survive, so they are trying to find a way to defend themselves from the knife. The moment they find out how to defend themselves from the knife, the knife becomes uselsess because the bad guys (bacteria,viruses) become resistant to it... The good guy, is doomed, unless he/she can find a stronger weapon...
At this point, the good guy takes a gun, and starts shooting the bad guys... Eventualy they find a way to defend themselves and become immune to the gun... And again we have an antibiotic-resistant-infection.
And with every step, the bacteria and viruses become stronger and stronger in their make-up, while our weapons (antibiotics) become useless...
--- So how come natural antibiotics have been around for 1000s of years and the bacteria have not developed a resistance against those?
The difference between natural antibiotics and man-made ones is that natural antibiotics have 100s and 1000s of weapons, following our example... So when you eat garlic, and garlic has 100 antibiotic chemical substances that attack the bad guys, they don't know what to defend against first, they are attacked at the same time with knives and tanks and guns and machine guns and airplanes and nukes, get it?
And then you take Garlic. And Lemon. And greipfruit. And let's say you take 10 natural antibiotics, include them in your meal. And each of those 10 Foods has 100 antibiotic chemicals in it. So when it all goes in you, and those chemicals are released, you have 10X100 = 1000+ Different antibiotic substances attacking the bacteria and the viruses... That's it... You won!
It would take the microbes forever to develop a resistance against all those substances you throw at them...
