Beyond Antibiotics Any Sick Among You? Why do some people get sick when exposed to germs and others do not? If germs really caused disease then why does not everyone get sick when exposed? So, what is the point? The point is what is the REAL CAUSE of the disease? The CAUSE is usually never discussed or understood. It is obvious you are sick and most people in today society have accepted the standard method for treatment for "BUGS" is antibiotics, right? Now, what if that prescription doesn't work? You get another stronger antibiotic. But wait a minute, what was the cause of the "BUGS" getting you down in the first place? Remember this! If the cause of a disease or even a symptom you may have is not discovered, then obviously a proper treatment can never be intelligently recommended! Many times your sickness is coming from a VIRUS, not a bacteria and so antibiotics will never cure you, but may even make your condition worse by killing the good bacteria and weaken your immune system and set you up for more serious diseases in the future. Antibiotics are not the answer! Read Why. First, understand that your body is weakening and you must strengthen it with Dr. Ross's BodyBest program. If you are looking for a quick fix that works while you do the program there is a very powerful natural product that works better than antibiotics. Use 7th Heaven. The WAR on GERMS - Who's Winning?The germs are winning! Smart Bugs Heading Your WayBillions of wild bacteria -- deadly "smart bugs" -- are reproducing and mutating out of control. They are headed for your neighborhood schools and hospitals. It happened in a prestigious boarding school in Alexandria, Virginia. A bacteria, which causes an illness called meningoccemia killed a 16 year old girl in 24 hours and you can catch it as easily as you would catch a cold. This story is similar to America's beloved "Muppeteer" Jim Henson who died of pneumonia that antibiotics could not cure. He said, "It's nothing. It's just a little bug." The little bug caused heart and kidney failure, sent him into shock and he was dead in five days. Infectious Diseases On The RiseIn the past 15 years, death by infectious disease has already risen from #5 killer in the U.S. to #3, next to cancer #2 and heart disease #1. In the 1970s, a shot of penicillin was all it took to cure gonorrhea. Today penicillin is useless against 80 percent of gonorrhea cases in Hong Kong. In the Philippines, all strains of gonorrhea are drug-resistant. In New York, one third of all cases of tuberculosis are caused by bacteria that resists antibiotics. That means if you were infected with one of these strains of TB you would have about a 50% chance of survival. Interestingly, those are the same odds you would have had prior to 1929 before antibiotics were discovered. Guess what? That means we've come full circle, but unfortunately it's about to get worse! Dry. Richard Krause, senior scientific advisor to the National Institutes of Health and former director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, "we have an epidemic of microbial resistance . . . doctors in hospitals and clinics around the world are losing the battle against an onslaught of new bacterial infections including staph, pneumonia, strep, tuberculosis, dysentery, and other diseases that are costly and difficult, if not impossible, to treat." This was reported in Science, one of the world's leading scientific journals. (7) In Britain, over 60% of the staphylococcus infections that cause pneumonia and skin infections resist most ordinary antibiotics. In South Africa, 95% of strep infections are resistant to penicillin. Yes antibiotics have helped save lives, but for over 50 years doctors have been handing them out like lollipops . . . and people have been popping them like gum balls! What's the problem with powerful drugs. They kill off not just bad, but friendly bacteria as well. This creates and unstable condition that leaves you totally defenseless against invasion by new mutant strains that kill so quickly. So what do we do now? Let's look at the hard core research and uncover the problem, take a look at the history, study some revealing statistics and make some helpful SMART suggestions for the new millennium of health care. Which DOCTORS prescribe the most antibiotics in the world?Well leading the pack is Pediatricians and family physicians with a $500 million worth of antibiotics just for ONE condition -- EAR INFECTIONS in children and another $500 million (that's a total of 1 BILLION) to treat other pediatric illnesses.(1) In the past 15 years, antibiotic prescriptions to young children increased 51 percent.(2) It that doesn't blow your shocks off, listen to this. The worst tragedy is that many honest, intelligent doctors consider it unnecessary or worse -- harmful!
Taking Antibiotics - Patient Beware!Destruction of Friendly BacteriaThere is a delicate balance of billions of bacteria inside our digestive tract. Bifido bacteria in the large intestine and acidophilus in the small intestine and vagina protect against infection by yeast and other bad bacteria. Also "friendly" bacteria found on the skin protect against bad bacteria, yeast and fungal infections. With continued use of antibiotics, especially broad-spectrum antibiotics as well as steroid drugs (such as "the pill"), can seriously disrupt the normal ecology of the body and render anyone more susceptible to pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria, yeast, viral and parasitic infection.Yeast OvergrowthOne of the most common side effects of antibiotics is yeast overgrowth. Women who use antibiotics often develop bowel and vaginal yeast infections. Children treated repeatedly with antibiotics for ear infections often develop yeast and fungal infections of the middle ear. (8)Vitamin and Mineral LossAntibiotics effect the availability of the vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, vit. A and folic acid. Minerals effected acne zinc and magnesium. If diarrhea occurs the loss is significant.Immune System Suppression and Chronic FatigueChildren given amoxicillin for chronic earaches suffer two to six times the rate of recurrent middle ear effusion than children who took placebo. (9) Dr. Carol Jessop, M.D., Clinical Professor at the University of California at San Francisco said, 80 percent of her patients who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome had a history of recurrent antibiotic treatment as a child, adolescent, or adult. (10). 7th Heaven even works with children. You just put it on the skin.Increased AllergiesDr. Leo Galland, M.D. says it is common to see new patients who's allergies appeared or became much worse after a course of antibiotics. (11). The liver cleanse called Hepacom and liver flush is the permanent solution to allergies.Second, Be Aware Of How To Increase Your Friendly BacteriaThe Role of Friendly Bacteria in Health
Types of Friendly BacteriaMost of the friendly bacteria are residents in the gut, while other bacteria are transient in nature, only staying for a few weeks before passing on. (21)Lactobacillus AcidophilusThis is the most friendly bacteria which keep residence in the approximate 22 feet of small intestine, mouth and vagina. One of its primary jobs is to manufacture lactase to digest milk sugar and produce lactic acid which keep undesirable bacteria and yeasts under control. Some strains produce natural antibiotics, lower cholesterol and kill candida yeasts. One of many examples that could be sited is sixteen children with salmonella poisoning and fifteen with shigella infections were cleared of all symptoms using acidophilus. Acidophilus can also control viruses such as herpes. (22) One must note these bacteria are susceptible to poor diet and stress conditions, pollution, and obviously antibiotics such as penicillin.How Can I Harvest Healthy Bacteria In My Digestive Tract?
