Avoiding Unnecessary Antibiotics

Hello my BeWell BookWorms!  This month's book talks about the function of good bacteria and the dangers of the different bad bacterias.

No one will argue that we need to defend our bodies against bad bacteria, however, incessant dosages of antibiotics is NOT the answer.  It has already created a problem by creating super bugs like C. diff and Staph.  When you have an infection because of such bugs, I believe strong antibiotics are the ONLY treatments available for that.  But it is a double edged sword.  As antibiotics are becoming stronger to kill these super bugs, the super bugs are becoming stronger and more resistant to these antibiotics.  

Sometimes you may have an infection that you can fight off with items in your refrigerator.  Garlic, honey and goldenseal were some that were mentioned.  I will also give recipes and tips that have worked for me over the years in near future posts.
