There has been much publicity about the bacteria or germs that grow in your intestine. Several recent studies have shown that the nature of the germs that grow symbiotically in your gut can affect your risk of obesity and inflammatory bowel disease.
A new report shows that mice who had been given antibiotics to change their intestinal makeup were significantly more likely to develop serious complications from Hepatitis B virus.
It seems that our intestinal bacteria play an important symbiotic relationship. This can be disrupted by taking antibiotics.
Antibiotics, when necessary, are miracle drugs. But they should not be taken without proper indications! Certainly not for the common cold. And if you do need to take some try and use some probiotics afterward to help get things back to normal!
