is it safe to make your own antibiotics? Any other medicines you make?  

i would definately say that would be a huge no! not unless you know 100000% what you are doing you can seriously harm or even kill yourslef taking things you dont no the effects of why do you think drugs go through such vigourious tests

I have no idea that this is even possible. Sure Penicillin is made from bread mold..or was.. I don't know if it is synthetic now or what. But I would never even try what you are talking about. I'm sure people have tried, but if you did, then how much would you ingest? Who would know? I sure don't and I wouldn't try it.

I do not think that this is a good idea. Scientist go to school for years to learn how to make these complicated medications that we take. I know that if could not be legal. Some of the ingredients are probably not even legal to posess.
Not only that, with the strong side effects of some of these medicines I would imagine that some of them could be deadly if every stage of preparation is not followed to the letter. I would feel much more comfortable leaving it to the experts.

I don't think it would be wise to grow and consume your own penicillin. For one thing, you have no idea of its purity. Also, you have no idea how much you should take, or how often.
There are safer home remedies. Garlic, for example. And various spices.

As those before me have said it is not a good idea to try to make your own medicine. For one thing how do you know you are growing the right mold on the bread? Yes I believe it is illegal to make your own medicine at home for this reason. Raw honey and undistilled vinegar is good for a lot of different things. I give it to my grandson for sore throats. raw honey is good for upset stomachs. Look them up on the web and you will see what they are good for.

No you can't make your own penicillan. If you tried this method you stated here you would get very sick from it. Penicillan isn't just the mold, it is processed with other stuff. It wouldn't be a very smart thing to do. It wouldn't be very smart to try to make any of your own medicines. They just wouldn't work the way they should. I do know of some home remedies that work for certain things. For example, if you have heartburn just drink a couple tablespoons of vinegar and it is instantly gone, and I mean instantly. If you have bad gas and a stomach ache just drink some camila tea. It works to help relieve the gas.

So, I hear eveyone elses response to you saying that it is not a good idea to make your own antibiotics. I understand where they are coming from, but I'm not convinced that it is unsafe yet, just because I or anyone else is ignorant to the process. I found this site because I was interested in the same thing-making antibiotics. I have not found anything yet, but if I do, I will let you know. I do not have medical insurance so I am always looking for herbal remedies to heal the body. One must be very wise before they go experimenting with medicine, either from the Eart or the pharmacy, but I say kepp looking; you might find your answer still.
