Health See other Health Articles Title: Antibiotics Can Kill! I'm always pointing out to you in my e-mails that antibiotics depress your own immune system and should not be used indiscriminately. Antibiotics should only be used in extreme circumstances and for as short a period as absolutely necessary. Now there is further evidence that antibiotics can even cause your death. My general principle is that there is no free lunch and when you take any synthetic drug it is by definition toxic because it is not natural and not recognised by the body. It should not therefore come as a surprise when prescription drugs turn out to cause serious disease. It sometimes takes a while till the research has been done and is revealed. But sooner or later every drug is shown to have negative consequences. And over time what we know about those negative consequences can only increase. So you are far better off to make the effort to take supplements change your diet and lifestyle since that is the healthy way to combat most disease. Azithromycin (marketed as Zithromax) is most often prescribed to treat bronchitis, sinusitis, pneumonia, middle ear infections, and even certain sexually transmitted diseases. It can produce skin rashes, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, and rapid, pounding, or irregular heartbeats. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. A study published last Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine finds that the antibiotic may boost the risk of death by 250 percent. The analysis found there were 47 more deaths per million in those taking azithromycin compared to those on amoxicillin (an antibiotic safer on the heart). Azithromycin belongs to a class of antibiotics called macrolides. A 2008 study published in the British Medical Journal found that when macrolides are combined with cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, the result can be a debilitating muscle weakness called statin-induced myopathy. This is not the only instance where antibiotics carry great risk. A 2004 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that the use of any kind of antibiotics is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. The more antibiotics the women in the study used, the higher their risk of breast cancer. Antibiotics are indiscriminate bactericides: they kill the good bacteria that support digestive health and other systems along with the bad bacteria present in an infection. This is why it is important to take a probiotic sometime after using an antibiotic. Probiotics deliver good bacteria directly to the digestive tract without increasing infectious bacteria; they can also reduce the risk of diarrhea, a common side effect of antibiotics. Like much of allopathic medicine, antibiotics work in opposition to the body’s natural immune system rather than in concert with it, creating new health problems while attempting to treat the original one. This is ironic since the first antibiotics were found in nature, but they were then modified in order to make them new-to-nature and thus patentable. As I have pointed out, today’s antibiotics also create resistant supergerms, some of which threaten uncontrollable pandemic. Drug companies, meanwhile, are reluctant to create new antibiotics because of their potential toxicity, the resulting difficulty in getting them approved, and the fact that they are not taken on an ongoing basis like statins and acid blockers and other real money-makers. In this environment, natural antibiotics such as silver and manuka honey, which do not create resistance, are of critical importance. Never forget that pharmaceutical corporations are only in it for one thing, profits. And they cannot profit from anything that is natural, because they cannot patent it.

I need no further evidence since suffering a reaction to macrobid and having my heart stop twice as a result of septicemia it caused. Strange thing was, I have many allergies to a whole host of meds, but macrobid had shown no side effects like the others. Then 10 days later I was in a coma. I agree with Ong that "natural antibiotics ... are of critical importance." I have added them to my answer for staying healthy and alive. Fortunately, I have a doctor that encourages "natural" ...
Uhhhhhhh...
The last time I took an antibiotic, it was to reverse the flu I got from the flu shot that had stayed in my system for three months causing me much sickness. The antibiotic used was penicillin. It worked very well but I would not recommend it to anybody unless you have a tolerance for it. Some people don't.
As opposed to synthetic ...
You need more repenting and less sinning.
Could be a phase thing. I seemed to be ok with penicillin until a tooth abscess; then boom: rash all over.
