Oh wonderful antibiotics blah. I only take meds if absolutely needed and try to let my body naturally take care of what ever is going on. This includes not taking tylenol for fevers unless it's really high and dangerous. It drives me crazy to see people doping up there kids for a fever of 99.0 when your body can handle it. There is also a lot of natural Remedies for things. One of my favorites for my kids is when they have an earache. I cut an onion in half and heat it up in the microwave with in 5 mins. the earache is gone another is using honey on small cuts and scrapes. The onion has something to do with the heat and the sulfur in it and the honey is a natural antibiotic and prevents bacteria from growing . If i do have to take antibiotics for something I make sure i take pro antibiotics to help replace all the good stuff being destroyed!

yeah, i never take that stuff unless it is totally necessary. can't remember the last time i had to take some.

i use ibuprofen when needed.

my wife is big on chinese medicine, i'm not even crazy about that, either.

if one does take heavy anti-bio's eat some good yoghurt after for a couple days, if it is not already in your diet.

I one for one will never take antibiotics and haven't in probably 15+ years. I have an 88yo aunt that owns a holistic health food/vitamin company that manufactures and distributes holistic suppliments and supplies and she warned me long ago of the dangers of modern pharmacopia. She is in perfect health and still works 50-60 hours a week doing research and product design and appears to be around 60.

Myself I eat 2 gloves of garlic a day that I soak in pickle juice to prevent the odor, and if I get a cold or flu which is extremely rare, I take a mega dose of garlic and within 24hrs I am back to normal. She told me years ago of the health benefits and antibacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal effects of garlic and it has proven true.

As I understand it antibiotics do not discriminate as to which bacterium they kill and wreak havok on the good bacteria in your body therefore making you more suceptable to illness an disease. She also told me to eat foods that keep your body's ph from becoming acidic as once it does your body becomes a breeding ground for all kinds of bacteria and viruses. I figure she must know what she is talking about given her state of health at 88 years old.

It is more than apparent as to why big pharma doesn't want to cure people, they would be putting themselves out of a job. It is truly sad that we live in a world where the all mighty dollar means more than a person's life but I guess that is what happens when people are full of greed and corruption.

Normal intestinal flora can easily be returned to normal in most cases after any antibiotic therapy.
There are cases where someone who is compromised, such as aids, diabetes, or cancer can sustain a systemic infection from the use of antibiotics but that generally happens only to those who are compromised. The most frequent infection that results from their use will kill off normal flora (gut bugs) in the bowls causing an imbalance of the intestines. If you have ever heard of Thrush (candidiasis) from Candida Albicans is the most common.
once you stop taking antibiotics the intestines immediately begin a recovery. If it is to slow lactic acid can be taken which allows the bacterium to grow more rapidly in the intestines returning them to that delicate balance.
this is not a Permanent condition. It usually only takes two or three days to get back to normal once the antibiotics are stopped. I read the linked page. I was less than impressed:
Suffice it to say, if you kill off normal flora in your intestines, they can be replaced and usually very easily. Generally the body does it by itself, but a little buttermilk doesn't hurt.(cultured high in lactic acid)
On the other hand. If you have a serious infection for which antibiotics are needed and you load up on garlic, you will get sicker, and have some very bad breath. Only your undertaker will know for sure.

Its because we eat crap ALL the time. Try eating some Veggies and Fruits. Processed food only hurts.
