Antibiotics - What Your Doctor Won't Tell You

You generally know what's to follow when your doctor diagnoses you with having a bacterial infection - an antibiotics prescription . We've been conditioned for it, we know it's coming, and we don't question it . Your doctor is likely to explain that antibiotics function by destroying harmful bacteria, preventing it from spreading, growing or surviving if you ask him about them. Sounds good, right ?

The other half of the story, unfortunately, may be left out by your doctor . Synthetic antibiotics not only destroy the bad bacteria, but strip your body from the good bacteria as well .

The Problems of Wrongly and Overprescribing

The problem of overprescribing medicines is ongoing and it is particularly dangerous where antibiotics are concerned . Overuse of antibiotics puts patients at risk of having their bodies permanently stripped of good bacteria, as well leading to drug-resistant strains of superbugs, according to a commentary published in Nature Magazine.

Found in the human gut, good bacteria aids digestion, vitamin production and absorption, and helps to create a healthy immune system . The head of the department of medicine at NYU's Langone Medical Center in New York, Martin Blaser, notes that, in developed countries like the US and UK, by the time the average child reaches 18, they have taken more than ten courses of antibiotics. Many researchers are convinced that the rise in cancer, obesity and asthma is contributed to by killing off good bacteria with antibiotics, so this is a cause for concern .

Another clear problem, in addition to overprescribing, is that doctors are using antibiotics to treat upper respiratory conditions, which are not affected by antibiotics because these are generally viral infections . Indeed, a 2010 study published in Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology reported that some physicians continued to treat patients with antibiotics even after their infections were proved to be viral .

The Answer - What Is It?

You can remove synthetic antibiotics from your life (hopefully, forever) by taking some natural steps. An excellent natural wide-spectrum antibiotic, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial is oleuropein, which is found in olive leaf extract . Unlike synthetic antibiotics, oleuropein only seeks out invasive germs and destroys them while, at the same time, it protects the good bacteria . That's great news for individuals who regularly take probiotics in an effort to increase their good bacteria count .

How does it work ? When taken orally, olive leaf extract targets harmful germs and attacks their outer lining, making it dissolve, thereby causing the inner cell to be destroyed. The olive leaf offers an added bonus by combating fungus, yeasts, viruses and retroviruses.

Another Benefit! Olive Leaf Extract Defends Against Free Radicals

Free radicals are harmful to our healthy cells and can leave us vulnerable to degenerative diseases, cardiovascular problems, premature aging and a host of other health problems . The type of factors that cause free radicals include alcohol, a poor diet, exposure to the sun, pollution and stress. It has been proven that olive leaf comprises twelve antioxidants, which search the body for free radicals when taken orally, and stops them from creating harmful oxidants .

Although olive leaf extract is thought to be safe and not known to cause any harmful side effects, nonetheless, it is best to consult your doctor, particularly if your heart is an artificial one or if you could be pregnant .
