Antibiotic Watchdog

Antibiotics may or may not be safe depending on many factors. Killing off healthy gut bacteria is just one of the many adverse side-effects of antibiotics. Antibiotics can damage mitochondrial DNA which may lead to many different health abnormalities and potentially, cancer. In this respect, antibiotics can be deadly. 

Antibiotics may be necessary and lifesaving in certain circumstances. In many situations, antibiotics are completely unnecessary. Our own immune system, if working normally, is exquisitely adept at targeting and destroying invading pathogens. Sometimes it is just a matter of allowing our innate systems to do their job.

There are many safe and natural alternatives to prescription antibiotics which are synthetic toxic drugs. Examples include garlic, oregano oil, tea tree oil, D-mannose and colloidal silver. There are many other natural options. These natural medicines can be applied externally and internally in a safe manner.
