Hey - it's good to see you again! :) If you see a short excerpt here and wish to read more, click on the Green Title for Full Story.
STORY 1!If allergies are making your life unbearable and you find you can’t go a day without your inhaler, the real culprit might not be your congested head; it could be the microbes in your gut.Scientists from the University of Michigan Medical School presented findings from studies that involved laboratory mice. Results showed that antibiotics might be responsible for producing changes in microbes in the gastrointestinal tract, which in turn could impact the way the immune system responds to common allergens in the lungs. – Read more here
A new study has found that certain types of antibiotics, such as Bactim, Thiosulfil Forte, Furadantin and Macrobid, could increase the risk of birth defects when used by pregnant women.

The study, published in the November issue Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, suggests that there is an increased risk of birth defects from sulfa drugs (sold under the brand names Bactrim and Thiosulfil Forte) and nitrofurantoins (sold as Furadantin and Macrobid). The drugs are often used to treat urinary tract infections, however, the most commonly used antibiotics during pregnancy, penicillins, were not found to have the same risk for unborn children.  – Read more here

Carla K. Johnson of  The Associated Press reports that researchers studying antibiotics in pregnancy have found a surprising link between common drugs used to treat urinary infections and birth defects.

STORY 3Why are some people like that? Anti-social? One of his colleagues, my friend, spoke to him and she was able to “dig out” his darkest secrets.   The anti-social colleague confided that he suffered from:

• Occasional constipation
• Painful and/or uncomfortable bloating
• Embarrassing flatulence (farts!)

He was suffering from digestive problems and was a victim of prescription antibiotics!  -  Read more here

Firstly, prescription drugs kill all good and bad germs in the guts.   This reduces the body’s natural ability to fend off infections, ailments and diseases.Secondly prescription drugs are responsible for autoimmune diseases like asthma.  Generations using prescription drugs cause asthma (proven evidence!) and even cancer.   (Science has verified that cancer can be passed via DNA/genes.)

Thirdly, virus are evolving.  Antibiotics become ineffective.  – Read more here

STORY 5Christine Cole Johnson, Ph.D., the study’s lead author and senior research epidemiologist for Henry Ford’s Department of Biostatistics & Research Epidemiology, presented the study at the European Respiratory Society’s annual conference in Vienna.

Although she stopped short of suggesting that children not be given the drug, she noted that “I believe we need to be more prudent in prescribing them for children at such an early age. In the past, many of them were prescribed unnecessarily, especially for viral infections like colds and the flu when they would have no effect anyway.” – Read more here

Increased use of antibiotics may heighten women’s risk of breast cancer, a study looking at possible connections between the two suggests.

Researchers found that women who took antibiotics for more than 500 days or who had more than 25 prescriptions in the course of a 17-year period more than doubled their risk of breast cancer compared with women who had not taken any antibiotics.

The fewer the days on antibiotics resulted in a smaller risk, the authors wrote in the study appearing in Wednesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association.

“It’s as strong as any of the risk factors that we know,” said Dr. Roberta Ness of the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health, who is author of an editorial accompanying the study.

“To put it into perspective, the risk for developing breast cancer from hormone replacement use is about a 30 [percent] to 40 percent increase in risk. And here we’re talking about a doubling in risk of those women who are using chronic antibiotics.”

But researchers caution that the findings do not mean… – Read more here

STORY 7….I was looking at some of Bill Maher’s videos on Youtube. In one I remember he said that the medicines (antibiotics) we take, push our ailments back into our bodies and emerge as something else later. Was Bill drunk?

Here’s a comparison of the current medical treatments for minor infections such as the common cold)…  -  Read more here

Tendon ruptures from these prescription antibiotics date back at least as far as 1997. From November 1997 to March 2007, the USA’s FDA has received reports of 336 cases of tendon ruptures in patients taking these fluroquinlolone antimicrobial medications. – Read moreSTORY 8

The most-used antibiotics by both pregnant and non-pregnant and by both genders young and old are antibiotics belonging to the penicillin-based.   FDA said it appears to be the safest – which means prescription antibiotics are not entirely safe, in fact they were never 100% safe (same status of that for vaccines)!  [Methicillin and Oxacillin are 2 antibiotics resistant to Penincillin innoculations.]

In a nutshell…   One of the more common side effects of prescription antibiotics is diarrhea.  This is caused by the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium Difficile (overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria) after antibiotics disrupt the normal balance of the intestinal flora.  In layman terms, the good bacteria is destroyed by prescription antibiotics.

Also, many antibiotics like Amoxicilin, Tinidazole and Cefmenoxime, react chemically with alcohol, leading to serious side-effects and deaths.  If you’re on any prescription drugs, never consume alcohol!

Do you know Cranberries are natural alternative remedy for preventing urinary tract infections?
Researchers theorize that cranberries work well to reduce the risk of infection by making the urinary tract more “slippery” so bacteria won’t stick to walls as easily.

Do you know that Aloe Vera Juice and Licorice make natural remedies for heatburn and bloatedness?

There are many natural alternative medicines to prescription antibiotics!  Take time to explore them with your naturopathic or homeopathic physician.

The best and safest kind of antibiotics you need is those that your body produces naturally.   The right kinds of food can encourage your body to create the antibiotics needed.   100% reject-free antibiotics and 100% safe!
