Someone sent me this this morning on furthering the post on antibiotics the day before yesterday. It is quite sad, but, probably quite important to share. Often people will say things like they are worried about how I am going to feelknowing they took antibiotics. And, I am not one to judge anyone for doing anything. It is the person that makes the choice to do something that must measure the benefits against the potential problems that may arise from that choice.
In the last decade and a half we here at our clinic have treated countless infections including very sever ones such as pneumonia, meningitis, etc…with herbal therapy. Have there been times I have said, take the western meds? Yes. There have been, but those times, I can count on my one hald over a 16 year period. So, you can see that the situation really needs to be quite something to cause me to beleive it is critical to make that choice.
It is important to understand that there are choices and that each choice in life as in medicine always comes with a flip side. Prescription antibiotics may be life saving in amany cases, but their over use has led to a lot of harm and they simply may be avoided more than they are used. Even now in western medicine, researchers are turning to more natural laternatives realiziing after dcades of use that antibiotics are creating serious problems.
