Antibiotic Misuse is Deadly!

 You cant protect yourself with antibiotics. Misuse of these "wonder" drugs, which used to be very  effective in their proper place of health crisis intervention, likely caused the plethora of new bugs and diseases that plague our country now. Our physicians are unwittingly engaging in biological warfare against the American public, far worse than anything done by Sadaam Hussein.

 It happens by selective breeding. Each unnecessary prescription of an antibiotic kills off the weak members of any bacterial colony that happens to be present (including the beneficial bacteria in your intestines). Only the strongest bacteria survive. With the competition for space and food removed, these resistant bugs multiply rapidly. Repeated misuse of different antibiotics against a particular bacterial strain, quickly breeds bugs that are resistant to all of them.

 Worse, wrongful use of antibiotics against self-limiting infections, hitting the flea sledgehammer, never allows your immune system to develop its own powerful resistance. Most children in America today have their immunity compromised by antibiotics wrongfully prescribed for every scratch and sniffle. Its a shameful indictment of medicine, to see multitudes of our offspring with ear drains and repeated ear, nose and throat infections, against which they have never been allowed to develop resistance, because of massive use of unnecessary drugs.


 Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin, told us many years ago about these potential problems. In 1982, when the crisis first loomed, a group of 150 scientists led by microbiologist  Dr. Stuart Levy of Tufts University, warned that unless we apply antibiotics correctly, "we may find a time when they are no longer useful to combat disease." Well Dr. Levy we didn't heed the warning, and the crisis had been upon us for over a decade. In 1995 alone, physicians wrote over 4,000,000 useless antibiotic prescriptions for the common cold and 'flu viruses. They continue this malpractice year in and year out, despite clear instructions in the PHYSICIANS DESK REFERENCE that the drugs are effective only against bacteria.


 That's nothing compared with hospitals. Recent studies show that up to half of all antibiotic use in American hospitals is improper. This criminal malpractice, which I have seen myself in hospitals, has bred hundreds of man-made, antibiotic resistant bugs, including new strains of tuberculosis, pneumonia, E coli, salmonella, and meningitis. They make hospitals very dangerous places to be.

Just say no!

It's called "pop" in the Midwest and most of Canada. It's "soda" in the Northeast. And it goes by a well-known brand name in much of the South. People across North America use different words to identify a sugary, carbonated soft drink. But however they say it, they're talking about something that can cause serious oral health problems.

Soft drinks have emerged as one of the most significant dietary sources of tooth decay, affecting people of all ages. Acids and acidic sugar byproducts in soft drinks soften tooth enamel, contributing to the formation of cavities. In extreme cases, softer enamel combined with improper brushing, grinding of the teeth or other conditions can lead to tooth loss. When this much sugar is consumed, your pancreas will produce and release more insulin, which will empty the sugar in your bloodstream and dump it into your tissues and cells for energy. This will raise your insulin levels, which can lead to your immune system weakening, causing you to be more susceptible to disease.

  Because the sugar is being dumped into your tissues and cells, the excess that your body isn't able to burn up ends up being stored as fat, which causes weight gain. Studies show that there is an increased risk of breast cancer in rats when they consumed a high-sugar diet. Although, the human body is a little different than a rat's, it is something to keep in mind if you have breast cancer in your medical history. The carbonation and phosphoric acid can decrease your blood calcium levels. Because calcium is important to have healthy bones and muscles, you'll find that with less calcium in the body, your bone mass and density will suffer. Soda and carbonated drinks will increase your risk of osteoporosis.

~Broken bones and bone fractures are also common when you have lowered bone density. The more fragile your bones are, the higher your chance of an injury~

Caffeinated beverages can be worse than all. First off, caffeine is a diuretic which can cause you to become dehydrated weight gain increase the risk of heart disease and cancer if you're not careful; your kidneys will work harder to push out the extra liquid in your body, which is slowly drying out your body. 

Caffeine can also decrease the calcium in your body, as well as stimulate your central nervous system, causing stress, a racing mind, insomnia, and the jitters. Caffeine is very addictive, so when you drink more, you generally crave more over time. The more caffeine you consume the more potential health problems you'll encounter.

****With diet soda, you’ve gone from high calories to poisonous levels of methanol and an increased chance of developing cancer. Not a very good trade.****
