Antibiotics and Your Health: Some Things You Need to Know
There’s no question about it, antibiotics can really pack a punch! However, just like almost anything else, they has a commendable “good” side and a vicious “bad” side.
Antibiotics can be used effectively to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. However, antibiotics do not discriminate“ they kill the bad bacteria as well as the good intestinal flora needed for proper digestion. This also affects the body’s defenses against certain diseases that may ultimately lead to numerous health complications.
Research indicates that antibiotics are often misused. It is alarming to note that they are often unnecessarily or improperly prescribed“ at many times due to the patient’s own insistence. They are being used for just about any ailment imaginable “ from the common cold, to flu, and viruses over which they have no effect on. And where do these all lead? To the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria which are now causing some really serious, and untreatable, problems.
And here’s another twist in this already complicated scenario – even a properly prescribed antibiotic can foster the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria for at least two to six months after treatment. Well, that just increased your risk of getting another infection! That also means you’ll be like a walking time bomb“ ready to detonate at any time and inflict damage to anyone around you.
At this point, you might be asking if there is anything you can do to prevent these from happening. Well, the answer is yes. You can do something about it and save yourself and those around you from pain and misery.
To increase your chances of living a healthier, disease-free life, please consider these suggestions:
- Avoid using antibiotics unless absolutely necessary. You know that they bring more harm than good so what’s the point in taking them?
- Strengthen your immune system. You can keep away from harm’s way if you have a strong, healthy immune system.
- Use a natural antibiotic whenever necessary. Garlic tops the list as one of the most effective natural antibiotics. Would you believe that it can even be more potent than penicillin and many prescription drugs in the market today? In fact, a mere 5 to 10 milligrams of garlic is equivalent to 75-100 units of penicillin. Garlic was proven to be more effective against nine strains of E. coli and Staph infections, too.
- Add a full spectrum acidophilus complex to your daily regimen, especially after any antibiotic treatment. Acidophilus helps build the balance of good bacteria in your intestinal tract. It can help you fight off any new drug resistant bacterial strains already in your system or that you might be exposed to in the future.
And here’s a special note on choosing a garlic supplement. Allicin, the source of garlic odor, also happens to be its most active ingredient. So, if you decide to take garlic capsules, choose one that is not deodorized. Otherwise, you’ll be throwing all the good stuff away!
