RE: We're Feeding Antibiotic Resistance By 'Taking All' Our Prescribed Antibiotics

in #health8 years ago (edited)

Very interesting post.
Personally I avoid antibiotics at all costs as I believe they can greatly reduce health in the long run.
Many people are all too eager to take a course of antibiotics for minor infections which the body could more than likely clear by itself given a little time. Also I find many doctors prescribe them too freely even with this issue of antibiotic resistance.
I constantly hear of parents rushing to the doctor with their children, practically demanding a course of antibiotics for what is more than likely a viral infection anyway.

Of course there are times when we need to use antibiotics, but I believe they should be restricted more carefully to these occasions only.

Sort:  

Indeed. Antibiotics are all the rage to "cure" anything, at least in people's minds it is, as they emotionally worry about their children and don't understand how it applies.
