When it comes antibiotics, a majority of individuals are prescribed this form of medication to treat common viruses and virus symptoms. What patients don’t know, is that the use of antibiotics can cause severely damaging symptoms, and in some cases be fatal.
The Danger of Antibiotic Overuse
How Do Antibiotics Work?
Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections consisting of gram positive or gram negative bacteria such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Klebsiella and many others. Over 90% of all antibiotic prescriptions written are actually used for non bacterial infections. Antibiotics are usually written for common colds, bronchitis, ear infections, UTI’s and skin infections to name a few.
In our office, we have never had one patient receive fluoroquinolone antibiotics for a confirmed bacterial infection through lab tests. The majority of ER or Urgent Care antibiotic prescriptions are handed out like candy so the patient thinks something has been done for them, when in reality, they are hurting themselves the majority of the time.
Dangerous Bacteria And Virus Eradication
The dangers of antibiotics are becoming more evident in every study. Antibiotic damage is one of the world’s leading agents in health deterioration and can lead to fluoroquinolone toxicity and cipro toxicity. Antibiotics do not only eradicate bad bacteria, they also affect healthy cells as well. The overuse of antibiotics has led to widespread antibiotic resistance and recurrence of infections due to a hindered immune system.
Every time you treat someone with antibiotics, they become more prone and susceptible to repeat infections, creating a vicious cycle.
What is Antibiotics Overuse?
The overuse of antibiotics is statistically worse every year. This overuse is caused by everyone wanting a quick fix rather than naturally boosting their immune system the correct pathway for minimizing infections. Lab results for bacterial infections may take several days to return, so antibiotics are usually prescribed in the meantime just in case. In urgent cares, primary care doctor offices, surgery practices and ERs, the demanding pressure to avoid negative reviews leads to over-prescription of antibiotics in case that 1/100 patient ends up with an infection and writes something negative.
Additionally, doctors in America deal more with administrative work than caring for their patients, which leads them to write a prescription and make the patient happy. Parents are the worst culprit because they expect something written for their child who continues to feel sick. If parents avoided antibiotics for their children in the first place, their children would not be sick at such an alarming rate. The pressure placed on by parents, lack of patience, and the possibility of having an upset patient creates a disaster for the overuse of antibiotics in America.
What Happens When Antibiotics Get Overused?
When antibiotics are overused, the immune system weakens, leading to an increased risk of infection. Antibiotic resistance also takes place, so the next time you develop the same infection, that bacteria can mutate to be resistant to the same antibiotic, which can lead you to the rabbit hole of requiring more dangerous antibiotics in the future.
Yeast infections like candida can arise due to the depletion of normal gut bacteria to offset the yeast. Women are then prescribed diflucan which is a fluoridated anti fungal that can cause severe neurological side effects. Antibiotics must be used with caution and not taken for no reason or guesswork. Medicine must be practiced correctly, and anyone using an antibiotic must have a confirmed bacterial infection. For some, the long term damage can be permanent.

How to Reverse Side Effects of Antibiotics?
To reverse the effects of antibiotics you must understand what is occurring on a cellular level. Antibiotics can lead to free radical damage of healthy cells. The most damaging antibiotics are the fluoroquinolones which contain a fluoride component. They can also chelate magnesium out of cells leading to muscle and tendon weakness. Proper detox is vital followed by reintroducing the nutrients and vitamins required to create new healthy cells. Our practice has seen success with an IRB approved Stem Cell Infusion Protocol that promotes growth factors and cytokines to areas of injury that have been damaged by antibiotics.
Is There a Safe Way To Consume Antibiotics?
The only way to prevent symptoms of antibiotics damage and antibiotic overuse is to stop taking antibiotics and consult an expert for alternatives. For safe measure, patients should stop taking antibiotics as soon as their infection has resolved or they realize through lab tests that they do not have a bacterial infection that requires antibiotics. Antibiotics are often times prescribed for longer than they are typically needed. Patients should be educated on combining natural methods of antibacterial activity in combination with antibiotics to reduce the length of antibiotics required and to help boost immunity.
Alternatives to Antibiotics
There are multiple alternatives to antibiotics, discover a range of alternative approaches to antibiotics that not only support your immune system but also combat infections effectively. From enhancing T cell response to utilizing natural remedies and innovative therapies, here are some tips for navigating antibiotic alternatives for optimal health and well-being.
- Maintain Immune System: Consistently supporting your immune system, even when not sick, is crucial. This ensures your body is prepared to fight off foreign invaders effectively when exposed.
- Thymus Peptide Treatment: Boosting the T Cell response is essential for keeping bacteria and viruses in check. Thymus Peptide Treatment enhances this response, aiding in the prevention of proliferation.
- Increase Glutathione Levels: Glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant, is vital for maintaining a healthy immune system. However, it can deplete zinc levels, emphasizing the importance of optimal zinc levels.
- Utilize Oregano Oil and Olive Leaf Extract: These natural remedies exhibit potent antimicrobial properties, supporting immune health and combatting infections.
- Consider Ozone Therapy: In acute cases, ozone therapy has demonstrated antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal activity. Published studies attest to its effectiveness in swiftly clearing up infections.
