It’s still that time of year; bacteria are making their rounds and antibiotics are being prescribed like crazy. But are you aware that the antibiotics you’re taking—or have taken—could be causing you serious harm?
It’s unfortunate, and it’s not your fault. But this reality could be putting you at risk for a serious infection that could potentially end your life. In fact, I just recently learned about this risk, and I feel it’s an important discovery I need to share with you. Here’s what you need to know…
Antibiotics are generally seen as wonder drugs. And it’s true; their invention has saved countless lives over the course of history, eliminating disease and making earth, in general, a safer place to live. Before their existence, human populations were being eradicated at breakneck speed due to easily contractible infectious bacteria.
But over time, American culture has become too reliant on antibiotics. Doctors overprescribe them, they are given to livestock, they leech into our water sources, and they are added to countless foods. Because of this, they are becoming less and less effective. Unfortunately, bacteria have been able to adapt, exposing us to increased levels of danger. And although we’re yet to arrive at a tipping point, it doesn’t appear to be far off.
