Using natural antibiotics and probiotics you can avoid the dangers of excessive antibiotic prescriptions that has become so common in the U.S.Excessive use of antibiotic has resulted in the breeding of powerful antibiotic-resistant bacteria strains that are nearly imposible to treat. Read more to learn about the problem and what you can do to protect yourself and your family.
When you bring your child to the doctor for a cold, sore throat, or flu, do you automatically expect a prescription for antibiotics? Many of us do. And we?re often surprised, maybe even upset, if we leave the doctor's office empty-handed. But your child's doctor is probably doing you and your child a favor by not quickly prescribing antibiotics.
Taking antibiotics for colds and other viral illnesses not only does not really help, but it also has a dangerous effect: over time. This can actually help create stronger strains of germs that are much more difficult to treat. This is known as bacterial resistance. When a child takes antibiotics too often the "good" bacteria that normally live in (and helps) the body are unintentionally destroyed along with the "bad." The resistant bacteria may survive and grow rapidly. This means that the same antibiotics may not work the next time the child is actually sick with a bacterial infection.
This has become a serious problem, especially in the U.S. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls it "one of the world's most pressing public health problems." Bacteria that were once treatable using antibiotics have become more and more resistant. Among bacteria that are becoming more difficult to treat are those that cause pneumonia, urinary infections, ear infections, skin infections, and meningitis.
