The Overuse, Misuse, and Abuse of Antibiotics
True enough, some antibiotics have saved some people over the last 30 years showing that they do have a time and a place. However it is their overuse, misuse, and abuse that has produced devastating imbalances within the body. These imbalances are created by killing off all the good bacteria along with the bad. The good bacteria are part of your bodys natural defense system and help prevent other organisms, like fungus and parasites from overpowering our bodies. So without the good bacteria dominating the internal environment, yeast (or Candida) will migrate to the digestive tract and throughout the body, thus perpetuating the cycle of imbalance and toxicity. If this persists long enough, our inflamed nutrient-starved bodies will start to waste away. This type of harm should never be taking place to begin with, but it is all because of the cold hard abuse of antibiotics.
