PRURIGO NODULARIS --Antibiotics

Some of us are taking or have taken antibiotics prescribed to us by our doctors
and or dermatologists.  Allopathic medicine does have it's place and there are
times when antibiotics are appropriate and necessary. But let me ask you, when
your doctor prescribed antibiotics, did your doctor also tell you that antibiotics,
taken long term, will not only kill the bad bacteria, but also the
friendly and good bacteria in our body?  Did you doctor tell you that long term
antibiotic use may also create an imbalance with your intestinal flora?

A health body is designed to operate in balance.  Just like some fungus helps
to keep bacteria in check, some bacteria helps to break down food for easier
digestion.  When one part of our body is out of balance for a SHORT TERM, other
organs try to rebalance the body.  However, when our body is out of balance
LONG TERM, because of things like long term antibiotic use, more body systems
become involve to try and rebalance our body, thereby creating more and more
imbalance among more and more organs.  Prolonged antibiotic use also weakens
our Immune system.  

Overuse of antibiotics is one reason we are beginning to see antibiotic-resistance
bacteria. It is predicted that at the rate antibiotics are being
used, we will see super bacterias, etc. that will be resistance to the
strongest antibiotics we have within the next 4 years. So if you must take
antibiotics, do yourself a favor and do three more things:

1) Take antibiotic only SHORT TERM
2) Take a Prebiotic
3) Take a Probiotic

A Prebiotic, like arabinogalactan, (Clear Trac), is a fiber supplement that
nourished the billions of friendly bacteria in your GI tract. Arabinogalactan
is derived from the larch tree and is the subject of several clinical studies.
This Prebiotic will help feed the good bacteria.

Add to that a Probiotic, which would be the friendly bacteria themselves.
Examples of these friendly bacteria include but not limited to, Lactobacillus
Acidophilus, Bulgaricus, Plantarum, Brevis, Bifidoacteria Bifidum, etc. Adding
Probiotics will help to repopulate friendly bacteria in your GI tract that was
previously killed by overuse of antibiotics.

Happy Healing Everyone!
