Re: Detrimental Effects of Andibiotics AND Antifungals?

[Guest guest]

Carol,

I'd love to read this article.

Makes me quiver to be honest- we like need an SCD " Stargate " Sarcophagus to

rejuvenate us.. wouldn't that be cool?

It is such a balancing act- trying to kill these buggers and yet restoring the

good guys.. I'm waiting for a complete overhaul paradigm shift to approach this

issue..

My

opinion, based on my own experiences and the research I’ve done on the

subject of gut ecology over the past seven years, is that antibiotics AND/OR antifungals

can do a lot of damage to our gut ecology. They both have critical and

valuable roles to play – but it is a delicate balancing act, and too much

of one or the other can cause damage, some long-lasting or permanent.

Antifungals

can do just as much damage to our gut ecology as antibiotics. Sometimes

it is best to just focus on eating healthy foods, depending on what we are

dealing with, of course.

Sometimes

we need an antibiotic or an antifungal, but we better help our delicate gut microorganism

balances by taking small amounts, and for a short period only, and waiting

months or years before using one or the other again.

And

all of this varies with the individual, so there isn’t one rule that fits

everyone. Which makes it difficult and frustrating and challenging.

Just

my thoughts on the subject [grin]. Intestinal microbiology is really very

fascinating -- and very complex.

Someone

the other day, bless his or her soul, posted a very good article documenting

the damage done to our gut ecology by repeated use of an antibiotic. This study

demonstrated that it might only take 2 rounds to PERMANENTLY kill some species

and the comment by researchers is that we don't know we can only guess at this

point what positive functions the various flora perform. EVERYBODY should read

that article... wherever it is... ?

MY point is that we should also be suspect of the antifungals we take. Not that

I know o a alternative for folks like me but... I shudder to think of the

unimagined effects...

:D ???

Artful Carol
