Have you ever taken Antibiotics?
Either as a child for the litany of childhood illnesses or as an
adult for upper respiratory infections or as a prophylactic before a dental
visit?
Are you aware that antibiotics are used in a variety of foods or
in the animals that serve as food sources for us humans?
Did you know that because of this over exposure to
antibiotics at this alarming rate, the imbalance we are left
with is contributing to several common health issues?
Common conditions such as Low Energy, Cravings for sweets,
breads, pastas, juices, etc., Weight gain, Indigestion, Colitis,
Diverticulitis, High Blood Pressure, Heart burn, High Cholesterol, High
Triglycerides, Gas/Bloating, Mood swings, Hormone Imbalances, Difficulty
Sleeping/Restless sleep, Loss of Libido, Arthritis and
the list goes on. When you stop to think about it, it makes you wonder
what we are doing to our health and our lives by taking this commonly
prescribed treatment. If you consider the days of work lost and the money
spent to deal with treating these resulting conditions, it's amazing to
consider the cost to our society.
Antibiotics are necessary, as is surgery, during extreme
conditions. But to consider Antibiotic treatment as an initial
intervention for many childhood infections is definitely not ideal for these
reasons.
1. Antibiotic will suppress the child's Immune System. That alone is
reason enough.
Consider the following: Our Immune Systems develop based on
exposure to various pathogens, from the infinite different bacteria, viruses,
virons and parasites we are exposed to on a daily basis. When exposed to
these pathogens, the Immune System will produce specific cells called Memory
Immune Cells that are designed to recognize future exposures to the
pathogen. These cells assist the body by identifying the
pathogens and allowing for a faster response to the pathogen,
rather then creating a brand new response with each new
exposure. The initial Memory Immune Cells then help stimulate
the creation of other Attack Immune Cells that are designed to attack and
destroy the pathogen. This is very similar to a war occurring within the
body, and part of the Immune Response can result in the
body producing a fever- a natural healthy response when the body is
becoming deficient in Calcium and the Whole Vitamin C Complex. The fever
is designed to raise the body temperature to assist in destroying the
pathogen. It stimulates the cells that eat the infection known as
phagocytes. The phagocytes wouldn't need any stimulation if it weren't
for a Vitamin C deficiency. So this only occurs after the blood
reserves of Calcium and Vitamin C are too low. The youngster that's got
plenty of diffusible calcium in the body fluids and sufficient Whole Vitamin C
Complex is practically immune to children's diseases. A child
with a fever tells you they are deficient in Calcium Lactate and the Whole
Vitamin C Complex. Refined foods have lost these important
ingredients, and eating refined sugar depletes the Immune System’s ability to
have a normal response due to the loss of the important mineral Calcium and the
Whole Vitamin C Complex.
2. Antibiotics
destroy bacteria. All bacteria. This means Antibiotics
destroy not only the bad bacteria that create infection, but also the
good bacteria the body needs for maintaining normal function digestively.
Since the digestive tract has millions of different bacteria that assist in digesting
our food, destroying these necessary bacteria will result in disrupting a
person’s ability to digest there food. And if you can't digest and
assimilate your food properly, you can't expect a person to grow and heal
efficiently, if at all. This imbalance will lead to all the various
symptoms and conditions mentioned in the opening paragraph. That's why it
is absolutely necessary to take a Probiotic with each meal. Exposure
to Antibiotics, knowingly and unknowingly in several of our food
sources, requires each of us to take Probiotics every time we eat.
We recommend UFP Capsules from Metagenics for your Probiotic
needs.
I have had this debate several times with different patients over
the years. The concern for the prophylactic Antibiotic recommended before
a person has their teeth worked on. It is said that the Antibiotics
are necessary for the prevention of damage to a person's heart valves from
unnecessary bacterial infection as a result of bleeding gums during dental
work. My question is, Where does the bacteria come from that
creates these blood borne infections leading to heart valve problems?
Certainly anything in the person's mouth before the dental visit is already
there naturally. And consider the fact that if people brush their teeth
regularly, any bacteria within the mouth will already enter the bloodstream,
especially if the person's gums bleed during the brushing. (The
bleeding gums are an indication of a Vitamin P deficiency.
Vitamin P is a portion of the Whole Vitamin C Complex and is responsible for
strengthening the capillaries. Therefore if your gums bleed during
brushing your teeth, you'll want to take some Cyruta Plus from
Standard Process, a natural supplement that supplies extra amounts of
Vitamin P.) So if the body is continually exposed to these bacteria that
already occur in the mouth, what else during a dental visit will create a
different type of bacteria the body isn't used to that causes the Heart
issue? It would have to come from the dental equipment. But if the
dental equipment is sterilized between each use, as I'm certain that it is,
then there would be no reason to worry about possible infection. And
therefore no need for the prophylactic Antibiotics before your dental
visit. Something to consider and certainly discuss before your next
dental visit.
To strengthen the bodies Memory Immune System requires a
person to strengthen their Parotid Gland, a salivary gland found on both
sides of the upper jaw. The Parotid Gland produces saliva that consists
of several different chemical identifiers and messengers designed to tell the Enteric
Nervous System what is coming down the Digestive Tract. The Enteric
Nervous System is like a second brain that lines and regulates what
the digestive tract lets into the bloodstream. It produces an abundant
amount of Immune Cells designed to prevent infection from getting into the
bloodstream through the Digestive Tract. Therefore, a strong Parotid
Gland is necessary to prepare your Digestive System for what it will be
asked to digest, along with the Enteric Nervous System for what it
will be needing to regulate into the body, for the purposes of normal health
and function. People who eat too fast, don't chew their food enough and
have a history of sickness will usually have a deficiency in their Parotid
Gland functioning. Parotid PMG from Standard Process
usually helps repair and restore balance to this very important gland.
My Recommendation To You
If you, your spouse or your child(ren) have knowingly been
exposed to Antibiotic treatment and the practitioner who prescribed them has
not recommended a Probiotic to go along with it, you'll want to come
into the office and get some. Please keep in mind that for every week you are
on an Antibiotic, you'll need 9 to 12 months of Probiotic to help
replace what was lost.
And considering that we consume Antibiotics in many of the refined natural
foods such as milk and many of our meat products, you should really be on a Probiotic
with every meal for life. We'll also want to consider
checking for the need of Calcium Lactate and Cataplex C, both
from Standard Process. These will assist the body in
strengthening the Immune System and its response to infection. And if you
experience any of the above conditions mentioned and want to help to eliminate
those, I would strongly recommend doing the Doctor Supervised Detoxification Program. This is a 3
week program designed to help eliminate all the accumulated toxins in
your colon and the rest of your body from the imbalances left after taking
Antibiotics. The benefits of such a program are assisting in the
elimination of all the conditions listed in the opening paragraph.
Cleaning out your body of all of your toxins will be the first step
to restoring balance to your body and all of its systems. And with the
environment we live in being filled with toxins, this is necessary for anyone
who truly wants to be healthy.

Health concerns are a major source of lost
happiness and lost joy in all of our lives. Finding a solution that is
agreeable and enables you to get back to your life is important. Please know
that you always have the more invasive surgery and prescription medication available
to you as a last resort. What many Traditional Medical Doctors may not share
is, many times, once you begin that journey into medication and/or surgery, it
alters your original body from the one that you were born with. Unfortunately,
at that time, more conservative and natural treatments may no longer be viable.
I encourage you to consider that before making any decisions about treatment
for your health. As always I am here to help.
Your Choice:
- Continue doing the same thing and
nothing changes or it may get worse
OR
- Try something different and get a
different result that makes you happier and healthier.
The Choice is Yours
