Re: immunizations/antibiotics

March 11, 2000

My husband is a pharmacist and he deals with antibiotics all the time. He

works in a clinical setting at the largest hospital here in town. The problem

is that antibiotics have been over prescribed in the past. People do not like

going to the DR and being told they have a virus and must wait and time will

heal.(Tincture of time) They like having a little pill. So many DRs in the

past, prescribed antibiotics for what was probably just a viral illness. The

good news, is that more and more physicians are getting away from that. Many

people think they get better in a few days after taking an antibiotic. But in

truth, the virus would have gotten better in a few days as well. Soooooo,

strains of bacteria have been bred that are resistant to antibiotics. They

are called SUPER BUGS. Thus, we have to often take 3-4 courses of

antibiotics when we truly do have a bacterial infection. I don't think this

is CMT related.
