Antibiotics
Substances that destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The overuse of antibiotics as medication and in food and cleaning products may actually reduce the immune system’s capacity to function at its highest level. Many natural supplements are believed to help provide anti-biotic and anti-viral immune boosting benefits. We increasingly hear of problems in health care facilities suggesting the overuse of antibiotics is resulting in increasing risks to patients and health professionals alike of contracting problematic bacteria strains difficult to eradicate. And many believe the overuse of antibiotic medications in infants and children suppresses the natural healthy development of their immune systems.
