ANTIBIOTICS DETROY THE FRIENDLY BACTERIA Truth in this day and age is difficult to come by. And yet it always exists for those who wish to find it. The friendly bacteria serve a purpose and that purpose extends farther than most people realize, especially the medical profession. Likewise, the deficiency or lack of the friendly bacteria is commonplace and exists for basically one reason only. The indiscriminate and over use of "antibiotics" as prescribed by doctors. These antibiotics destroy the friendly bacteria almost immediately and when you consider that they are given to almost anyone who has even a hint of an infection it is no wonder almost everyone has or will have an eventual yeast infection. Some people are given antibiotics for weeks, even months. Such long-term use is inappropriate and unnecessary in many cases. Antibiotics are a poison to the body. They do harm and damage to the liver and they reduce the ability for the body to detoxify. Some of the current antibiotics being used today are amozicilin, augmentin, ceclor, minocycline, erythromycin, lezaquin, ziphromax, bactrin, doxycycline, keflex, tetracyclines, septra, vibramycins and quite a few others. The liver is the main organ along with the kidneys to remove foreign and toxic substances from the blood and thereby keep the body clean and functional. If the liver is overwhelmed with yeast toxins and then antibiotic poisons are added, you can imagine how dysfunctional and ineffective the liver will become. This reduces your ability to detoxify and heal. Drugs do serve a purpose and they save lives, but they should only be used when nothing else will do the job. Becoming healthy and using natural means first to overcome illness is only common sense, let along scientific. If everything natural fails and an immediate life/death situation has occurred, then drugs may serve a worthwhile purpose.   However, it is not just the indiscriminate use of antibiotics that is in error, but to make things worse, the medical community does not recognize the need to reinstate or supplement the friendly bacteria in substantial amounts after the use of antibiotics has ended. This is the big mistake and after all these years of massive antibiotic treatment and the resulting consequences, they still have not realized the harm they are doing to their patients by not recommending or just suggesting that the friendly flora should be purchased from their local health store, to replace and make up for, their destruction during the antibiotic therapy.     If the natural flora are reduced or destroyed the immune system must work extra hard and for longer periods of time to handle all the impurities and negative organisms that are now entering the blood. If this happens twenty-four hour a day, year after year, you can imagine how weak your body and its defenses will become. Serious diseases and infections will begin to take place and your health and energy levels will be the first ones to know.
