text: how long should you wait on a course of antibiotics before deciding they aren't working?   as a general rule antibiotics hurt the liver, and destroy beneficial bacteria without which we cannot be healthy (e.g. digestion, immunity and the ability to eliminate depend on them!), cause yeast overgrowth and resultant immune suppression, and generally fight no more than 7 types of bacteria, which are developing superstrain immunity as we speak.  there is nothing more medieval than giving someone poison to fight an infection, most of which aren't bacterial in origin to begin with.  instead of taking death, i.e. "anti" "biotics" = translated "against life," why not start with the safe and effective probiotic: "for life."  death dealing medicine is a sick, perverse joke.
