Antibiotics CANNOT Kill Viruses | Consequences of Overuse of Antibiotics
Antibiotics CANNOT Kill Viruses | Consequences of Overuse of Antibiotics
By Viola Woolcott
For all infections affecting the i.e. ears, throat, lungs, urinary tract, skin or gums there is an overuse of antibiotics. It is known that 80% of these are viral in nature. Antibiotics may relief some of the symptoms of viral infections like phlegm production, inflammation, and malaise but they do NOT destroy the real viral pathogen. White blood cell production is inhibited, as they lower the natural immune response of the body.
The mutations of bacteria into drug resistant offspring are one of the consequences of overuse of Antibiotics. Hearing the media talk about “super-bacteria” means that there are bacteria, which are resistant to all of the known antibiotics. Knowing that new and stronger antibiotics will also become obsolete in a short time scientists continue searching. Potentially mutant pathogenic bacteria are created by the rampant application of antibiotics in medicines and through food chains i.e. in beef, pork, chicken, eggs milk and dairy products, which are ingested by us.
Damage is done by the overuse of antibiotics to our body’s overall health. In our small and large intestines we have about 500 different species of “good” bacteria that support in the digestion of toxins. Taking antibiotics for a pathogenic microbe destroys all of these beneficial bacteria. No matter how many vitamins we take and how nutritious our food is, we cannot efficiently transport nutrients into our blood, so we become malnourished.
Bile is a necessary substance for detoxifying poisons in the liver as it acts as a lubricant for carrying poisons from the liver into the small intestine. Bile is caustic and would irritate the lining of the large intestine; therefore we need the “good” bacteria to convert the bile into harmless salts. I think that a contributing factor to our modern epidemic of colon cancer is the chronic use of antibiotics.
And what about the growth of the fungus Candida Albicans following antibiotic use? The secretion of a chemical aldehyde, which irritates and ruptures the cells that line the small intestine, also inhibits the growth and re-establishment of beneficial bacteria. The immune response in the intestinal mucus slowly lowers, which in return allows toxins to enter our blood stream, which is known to cause ‘Leaky Gut Syndrome’ as a direct consequence of antibiotic use.
Antibiotics CANNOT KILL viruses, which include:
All colds and flu
Most sore throats
Most coughs
Antibiotics CAN KILL bacteria (Unless the bacteria is resistant) - which include:
Strep throat
Urinary tract infections
Most ear infections
Some sinus infections
STOP giving Antibiotics - Our health can be seriously affected!
