Doctors get tens of millions of patients visit them for bacterial infections every year. Doctors have one cure for any type of bacterial infection, and that’s antibiotics. It doesn’t matter what is causing the infection the treatment is always the same. What these patients don’t know is, what the antibiotics are doing to their bodies.

The only weapon a doctor has against any bacterial infection is antibiotics. If you are suffering from your first bacterial infection then the antibiotics should do the job they were intended for. It’s when you’re prescribed numerous courses that your body can start showing signs of overuse.

One of the first signs is more bacterial or fungal infections. The main one being yeast infections. When you take antibiotics over an extended period of time your body eventually loses all of its friendly bacteria. Your friendly bacteria is your body’s natural defence against bacterial and fungal infections. Also the continual use of antibiotics causes the infection causing bacteria and fungus to become immune to the antibiotics.

When the antibiotics has killed off all of your friendly bacteria your body is a perfect place for the Candida Albicans yeast to mutate into its fungal form. Without any natural defence the Candida yeast finds it easy to mutate into a fungus. It will also be a stronger fungus than usual because it will have started to mutate against all of the antibiotic use. This is the Candida own defence against anti fungal drugs, it will learn to mutate so the drugs soon become ineffective.

The Candida yeast loves sugar, and our modern diets are high in sugar and refined carbohydrates. With all this food for the yeast, the mutated Candida soon makes a home in your body. Candida survives better in warm moist places, these include Your vagina, under folds of skin, your mouth, your intestines and your feet.

Other parts of your body that the Candida yeast likes to infect are, under folds of skin, your mouth and your feet. These areas of your body will either become sore or start to itch.

Joe Bella asked:


When medicines have a list of possible side effects, how long does it take for them to occur?

All medicines have a list of possible side effects; some lists are longer than others. How long it takes for a side effect to appear depends on the medication and your individual response. Sometimes it's a matter of minutes. For example, some sleeping pills can induce nausea or dizziness within 15 minutes. And nitroglycerin, used for chest pain, can spark a headache within minutes.

It is a drug-oriented world with a pill for every ache, a prescription for every ailment. While drugs are a marvel of the modern age, curing many diseases, they may not be the answer to every illness.

People who take antibiotics for infection may experience diarrhea and abdominal cramps hours after their dose; a week later, they may be faced with a yeast infection or thrush. Dependence on and abuse of painkillers, muscle relaxers and anti-anxiety medications could develop after several weeks.

Some medications take much longer to cause side effects—months or even years. For example, statin cholesterol-reducing medications may be the source of muscle pain, leg cramps or fatigue in some patients, but it could take six months to a year to see this. Statins, as well as the popular pain-reliever acetaminophen (Tylenol), have the potential to harm the liver, though this also may not be seen right away.

Birth-control pills or hormone-replacement patches and pills that contain estrogen may cause side effects of gallstones, blood-sugar problems or weight gain, but it doesn't happen right off. Cervical, breast and endometrial cancer deserve mention because they also have been tied to female hormone use.

Men take medications that manipulate their hormones too. For instance, Proscar (finasteride) is used to shrink the prostate and help men with BPH, but some research suggests that it fuels the growth of tumors. Another popular drug for men is Propecia, which is prescribed for male pattern baldness. The drug also contains finasteride, but at a much lower dose. It's not that Propecia causes cancer - studies have not yet shown that. It's that the drug manipulates testosterone levels, and men need to weigh benefits against

potential risk.

So, is there a single pill antibiotic for infections. Will this be the wave of the future?

The FDA recently approved azithromycin as a single dose for some sinus infections and pneumonias. This drug's very long half life makes this possible.

Before now, lower doses of the drug were taken for either five or three days. The advantage of single dose use is obvious better compliance.

Fewer people will stop taking their antibiotic course half- way through.

Not completing an antibiotic course leads to bacteria becoming resistant to medications.

The concern, however, is that if antibiotics become that simple to take, people may be even more tempted to take them "just in case" for viral infections and colds which are not helped by antibiotics.

This would lead to antibiotic resistance. Azithromycin is not cheap, and not available generically. For most infections, there are generic alternatives that are cheaper, but taken for seven to 10 days.

Nathan Wei asked:


Tendons are ropes of tissue that connect muscles to bones and allow joint motion. When a muscle contracts, the tendon is pulled and the bone that the tendon is connected to moves.

Tendons consist of collagen (mostly type I collagen) and elastin that sit inside a matrix (framework) with collagen accounting for 65-80% and elastin approximately 1-2% of the mass of the tendon.

Collagen and elastin are produced by special cells called tenoblasts and tenocytes. Crosslinks strengthen the collagen and help them form fibrils which are thin fibers. These fibrils are bunched together to form a collagen fiber which is the basic unit of a tendon. The entire tendon is surrounded by a fine connective tissue sheath called epitenon. The actual structure of a tendon is very complex with fibers being oriented horizontally, longitudinally, and diagonally.

As mentioned above, the basic function of a tendon is to transmit the force created by the muscle to the bone, and, in this way, make joint movement possible. Normally, tendon tissue is extremely tough but it can be damaged through excessive shear forces, trauma, and, recently, with certain drugs.

The Food and Drug Administration recently notified the makers of fluoroquinolone antimicrobial drugs for systemic use of the need to add a boxed warning to the prescribing information about the increased risk of developing tendonitis and tendon rupture. In addition, a Medication Guide for patients was also mandated.

The actual wording of the FDA statement was...

"Fluoroquinolones are associated with an increased risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture. This risk is further increased in those over age 60, in kidney, heart, and lung transplant recipients, and with use of concomitant steroid therapy. Physicians should advise patients, at the first sign of tendon pain, swelling, or inflammation, to stop taking the fluoroquinolone, to avoid exercise and use of the affected area, and to promptly contact their doctor about changing to a non-fluoroquinolone antimicrobial drug.

Tendinitis and tendon rupture most frequently involves the Achilles tendon, and rupture of the Achilles tendon may require surgical repair. Tendinitis and tendon rupture in the rotator cuff (the shoulder), the hand, the biceps, and the thumb have also been reported. Tendon rupture can occur during or after completion of fluoroquinolone use; cases occurring up to several months after completion of therapy have been reported.

Selection of a fluoroquinolone for the treatment or prevention of an infection should be limited to those conditions that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria."

Currently available fluoroquinolone antimicrobial drugs include ciprofloxacin (marketed as Cipro and generic ciprofloxacin), ciprofloxacin extended release (Cipro XR and Proquin XR), gemifloxacin (marketed as Factive), levofloxacin (marketed as Levaquin), moxifloxacin (marketed as Avelox), norfloxacin (marketed as Noroxin), and ofloxacin (marketed as Floxin and generic ofloxacin).

The warnings about fluoroquinolones and adverse effects on tendons applies only to fluoroquinolones for systemic use (e.g., tablets, capsules and injectable formulations); it does not apply to fluoroquinolones for eye or ear use (e.g., eye drops and ear drops).

This danger has been known to be present for approximately 14 years with case reports first surfacing in the 1990's.

One group of investigators have stated, "current exposure to fluoroquinolones increases the risk of Achilles tendon disorders. This finding is in agreement with a smaller study, in which we found an association between tendinitis and fluoroquinolones" (van der Linden PD, et al. BMJ 2002;324:1306-1307).

Researchers feel that the mechanism is due to a toxic effect on collagen fibers. This may be caused by a substance called matrix metalloproteinase.

Bottom line? Avoid these antibiotics if you have any of the above risk factors!

Rebecca Prescott asked:


Acne is a condition that has been misunderstood for many years, and in the past it was thought that acne was a resulted from all manner of things, from not washing properly to eating too much chocolate. It was also thought by many that acne affected only adolescents. However, there are many myths about acne, and the truth is that this is a condition that can affect different people of varying ages, at different levels of severity, and for a variety of reasons that are usually beyond the control of the sufferer.

In short, acne is actually caused by excess oils and bacteria that get trapped with the follicles of the skin. Swelling begins when your body tries to fight the build up of oil and bacteria, and this causes the pimple to form. Bouts of acne can be severe or mild, and can affect people for varying periods. The condition can be brought about for a variety of reasons, such as hormonal changes, stress levels, or external factors such as infection and bacteria.

Treating acne

The treatments for acne can vary depending on your circumstances and on the severity of the condition. For instance, a pregnant woman with acne would need a different treatment to a teenager with acne. Likewise, those with milder acne will receive different types of treatment to those with a very severe case. When acne is severe, one of the treatments that may be needed due to increased levels of infection are antibiotics, which will need to be prescribed by a doctor.

There are a number of functions that are performed by antibiotics for acne. Antibiotics can help to reduce the chemicals that are produced by the white blood cells, cause a decrease in the number of bacteria in the follicle, and can reduce the free fatty acids in the sebum. This can all help to reduce the swelling and fight infection. There are a number of antibiotics that can be used for the treatment of acne, and these include:

* Tetracycline

* Minocycline

* Erythromycin

* Doxycycline

* Clindamycin

Each of the antibiotics that are commonly prescribed for the treatment of severe acne have certain contraindications and side effects, and it is important for the patient to ensure that he or she reads up about these. Additionally, it is important to follows the instructions carefully with regards to how and when to take these medications. Take note of the of dosage instructions, and if you're at all unsure, talk with your doctor about what he has suggested.

In order to get antibiotics for acne you will need to visit your doctor or dermatologist ,because they are available on a prescription-only basis. Although there are over the counter medications suitable for the treatment of milder acne, more severe acne that has become infected will most likely require antibiotic treatment.

Joe Barton asked:


Did you know that almost 10 million people visited the doctor last year for urinary tract infection treatments? Most of these people did this to relieve the painful symptoms associated with urinary tract infections which include: frequent urination; need to urinate but to no avail; frequent needs to urinate during the night; aches above pelvis; clouded urine; blood in urine; fatigue; vomiting; fever; and chills and night sweats. The symptoms of urinary tract infections can make life miserable and a U.T.I. treatment should be considered immediately!

If a urinary tract infection is left untreated, pain will become significantly worse and you could risk greater complications to your body including severe kidney problems. But what should you choose for a treatment? Antibiotics or treating the urinary tract infection naturally?

Unfortunately, of those 10 million doctor visits, most people get prescribed antibiotics to treat their urinary tract infection. Many patients will take the antibiotics and be fine while other patients will take the same antibiotics and nothing will happen except more pain. Even more unfortunate, most patients who take the antibiotics do not understand what urinary tract infection antibiotics are doing to their body.

Antibiotics Uncovered

Antibiotics have their purpose in the medical field and have done some good in some cases. However, antibiotics are being prescribed more than ever before and might be causing more harm and good. If you or a love one suffers from a urinary tract infection please pay close attention! The word 'antibiotic' literally translates as 'anti-life.' Why do you think this is?

Antibiotics (especially urinary tract infection antibiotics) are drugs used to kill bacteria (E-coli). You might think this is good but unfortunately urinary tract infection antibiotics can NOT tell the difference between 'good bacteria' and 'bad bacteria'. In a perfect world, the antibiotics would only kill the E-coli and nefarious germs that cause urinary tract infections in the bladder. However this is not the case, U.T.I. antibiotics will most of the time kill those harmful bacteria and good bacteria. And all bacteria is NOT bad!

Antibiotics Effect on Body

For instance, urinary tract infection antibiotics will also kill intestinal flora which helps digest food and immune system bacteria which aids in a healthy immunity. Over time and through more antibiotics, digestion complications will arise as well as destruction of the immune system. Also, as we become more and more dependent upon antibiotics, the harmful bacteria in our bodies become more and more tolerant of antibiotics. The result is doctors prescribing harsher antibiotics to kill the tolerant harmful bacteria (and more 'good bacteria'). Are you skeptical? A 2003 medical report stated that 42% of E. coli was resistant to one or more of the 12 antibiotics that researchers investigated.

A Better Option

You do not have to treat your urinary tract infection with antibiotics! In fact, one of the best ways to treat a urinary tract infection is by allowing your body to cure the urinary tract infection itself. By given the correct means, the body can actually cure itself in less than 12 hours naturally (no harmful antibiotics). Treating U.T.I is as simple as preventing bacteria from residing in the bladder by simply keeping your acidic levels high while flushing your body with the correct fluids.

Chris Gibson asked:


Parents across the nation are worried by the seemingly rampant reports of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) infections in schools across the nation. In recent weeks, a teenage boy has died and dozens of students have contracted the bacterial infection.

Health experts say overuse of antibiotics has contributed to the rapid spread of MRSA, once a problem confined primarily to hospital settings. The public health concern of growing antimicrobial resistance is a prime reason 50% of dermatologists report cutting back on antibiotics to treat acne according to the Galderma Quality Report for Dermatology and Managed Care.

On the surface, acne sufferers might feel frustrated, believing that their treatment options have narrowed. But holistic health experts say curbing the reliance on antibiotics is a step in the right direction for the millions of Americans who suffer from acne—and to the general public in light of the prevalence of drug resistant bacteria.

Chris Gibson, a holistic health and lifestyle coach and author of the book, “Acne Free in 3 Days,” believes antibiotics are a problematic treatment choice for acne. He urges parents to be cautious when seeking an acne regimen that’s safe and effective for kids.

“You have your family doctor saying we don’t want to over-prescribe antibiotics,” says Gibson. “Then you take your teenager to a dermatologist and typically one of the first options has been antibiotics. With the drug-resistant ‘super-bugs’ in the news, no wonder parents are anxious. Just look at the numbers involved. An estimated 80% of teens have some acne, so imagine the volume of antibiotics being consumed if only a fraction of these teens get prescriptions.”

The growing problem of drug resistance isn’t the only drawback to antibiotics. Side effects are also a major concern. For example, antibiotics can upset the natural balance in your digestive track and stain your teeth.

“I can speak from experience about the side effects,” says Gibson, who once suffered from chronic acne. “The digestive issues alone can create a major disruption to the balance of good bacteria in your body- the bacteria that your immune system needs to stay healthy.”

Other medications such as Accutane have been the subject of lawsuits after being linked to heart, liver and bowel disease along with depression and suicide. Accutane, normally reserved as a drug of last resort for people with severe, cystic acne, is also known to cause birth defects. But many acne sufferers reach a point of desperation where they’d try just about anything to improve their skin.

After battling acne for 15 years and spending exorbitant amounts of money on different over-the-counter products and drug treatments, Gibson was still disappointed with the results. That’s when he began researching and collaborating with his dermatologist to come up with an all natural plan that actually worked. He’s acne-free to this day.

“When your skin has problems it means your system is taxed,” says Gibson. “That’s why you have to attack acne with a ‘big picture’ mentality and find the right balance for you. For people who’ve been suffering from acne for a long time, to see results in just three days is a mind-boggling experience.”

Best of all, it’s an experience that doesn’t trade one set of health problems for another. To learn more about Chris Gibson’s book and receive a free report on naturally clearing your skin, please follow through to the next link.

Matthew Bredel asked:


Those who are prone to yeast infections should be aware that taking antibiotics can increase the chances of candida overgrowth in your body. While taking the antibiotics might be necessary for you to clear up an infection in your body, having a yeast infection does not have to be the consequence if you follow some natural candida remedy advice.

What is Candida?

Candida are present in our bodies in low quantities. We have intestinal flora that helps us with digestion but some of those bacteria can be bothersome if they multiply beyond healthy levels. A lot of things can cause candida infections but taking antibiotics can increase your chances of having an infection, especially if you've had yeast problems in the past. Candida isn't just a vaginal infection. It is increasingly being recognized as causing an overall feeling of malaise and sometimes the vaginal infection doesn't even happen when someone is suffering from an albicans overgrowth.

Candida can present itself in a vaginal or penile infection as well as rash and for some it results in bloating, gas, food cravings, sinus infection, joint pain, flu like symptoms, thrush, halitosis, mood swings, headaches, fatigue and other symptoms. You don't have to take an over the counter drug or cream, though. There are many natural remedies and there are proactive approaches to help you avoid yeast overgrowth altogether. When you are taking antibiotics like Penicillin, you might have to take extra care and caution.

What is the candida and antibiotic connection?

Antibiotics kill bacteria. The problem is that they don't discriminate. Instead of just killing the bacteria that are causing you an illness or infection, they wipe out all the flora in your digestive system. This means that they kill the good guys too. The good bacteria keeps the bad bacteria in check, so to speak and when the good guys are all gone, candida albicans yeast (the bacteria responsible for candidiasis) can replicate at warp speed and cause a whole host of unpleasant side effects.

Should you avoid antibiotics?

Those who've suffered this type of infection don't look forward to relapses but sometimes antibiotics are a necessity. There are some proactive approaches you can follow to help you get through this period of time when your body isn't going to be as equipped to fend off candida as usual.

Follow a candida diet. Remove candida causing agents from your diet and avoid foods that candida thrive on namely sugar, alcohol and yeast. Avoid junk food as well.

Take a supplement such as a synbiotic or a daily dose of organic apple cider vinegar which is known to help prevent candida.

Probiotic and prebiotic juices, yogurts and cheeses can be taken to help encourage friendly flora growth in your body. Probiotics contain friendly flora and prebiotics feed them so they can replicate and survive in your body.

Get plenty of exercise and rest as well. When you're taking an antibiotic, obviously you're already unwell so do your best to make your health your top priority.

John Seeley asked:


Antibiotic-resistant bacteria Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase also know as (ESBL) is killing both people and swine in Denmark. This bacteria has been implicated in the deaths of a number of cancer and liver disease patients. The number of infected patients jumped to over 50 percent this last year.

Health officials have said the bacteria is being transmitted to humans through pigs. Also the increased use of antibiotics in agriculture may be behind the spread of the resistant strain. So what exactly is Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases ESBL? It is actually enzymes produced by certain types of bacteria, which renders the bacteria resistant to the antibiotics commonly used to treat them.

ESBL were first discovered around the mid 1980s. At that time they were mostly found in the Klebsiella species of bacteria, were found in hospital intensive care rooms. Until recently, few people were affected by this bacteria and it didn't appear to be a major growing concern until now.

According to the British Health Protection Agency, a new class of (ESBL) which is known as CTX-M enzymes has emerged, which are now being widely detected among E.Coli bacteria. These ESBL producing E. Coli are resistant to penicillins and cephalosporins, and are fast becoming more frequent in urinary tract infections.

Other kinds of bacteria that can now produce ESBL include:

K. pneumoniae

K. oxytoca

Salmonella

Proteus mirabilis

Pseudomonas aeruginosa

And the Problem is much Worse Than You might think!

According to a new study published October of 2007 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, there was close to 100,000 new cases of invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus superbug infections in the United States in 2005, which lead to more than 18,600 deaths. To put that number into perspective for you, HIV/AIDS killed 17,000 people that year.

Antibiotic resistant disease IS a major man-made problem in the United States. This was the study that propelled MRSA into the news last year, combined with school outbreaks that took place around the same time. Discussions focused largely on reducing medical over-use of antibiotics, and the use of proper hygiene such as washing your hands with soap and water to reduce the spread of this infectious disease.

But the problem is little has been said about the rampant over use of antibiotics and steroids in agriculture, which is a MAJOR source of human antibiotic and steriod consumption, and hence the increased antibiotic resistance superbug.

Agriculture as a Source of Antibiotic Resistance Both MRSA and ESBL are being traced back to animals raised for food production like Beef and poultry, and especially pigs.

These animals are often fed antibiotics and steriods at low doses for disease prevention and growth promotion. Animals receiving antibiotics and steriods in their feed gain 4 to 5 percent more body weight than animals that do not receive antibiotics and steroids, however the price is high for you and me, the end consumer, because this practice also creates the perfect conditions for antibiotic resistance to flourish.

Denmark's health officials claim they're unsure of how farmers and veterinarians, who have not consumed infected meat, are becoming infected. However, according to research cited on Johns Hopkins website, the main reservoir of these organisms is in the lower digestive tract, and they can persist within the gastrointestinal tract for months. So perhaps the answer doesn't have to be that complicated.

So, the meat industry's practice of using antibiotics and steriods is indeed a driving force behind the development of antibiotic resistance in a now wide variety of bacteria that is the cause of human disease. The long stalemate on this issue constitutes a struggle, between strong science, and very bad politics.

The FDA has finally banned the use of fluoroquinolones a widely used class of antimicrobials from agricultural use August 1997, but not without the Bayer Corporation kicking and screaming in opposition. After all, antibiotics and steroids for livestock use is big business for there bottom lines. It constitutes about 70 percent of ALL antibiotic use! They couldn't replace that market with human consumers even if they tried.

Other Agricultural Sources of Antibiotics

Another heavily tainted meat product you should stay away from is conventionally raised chicken or poultry. A 2006 study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases found that bacteria from conventional chicken and people who ate the chicken became resistant to Synercid, a strong antibiotic used to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In essence, it can cause resistance to the last lines of your defense currently available in the modern medicine cabinet.

And it also found that it was rare to find resistant bacteria among antibiotic and steroid free chicken, while the majority of bacterial isolates from conventional poultry were resistant.

But wait, the ramifications of using antibiotics in agriculture doesn't end there. Antibiotics filter down through the food chain in sometimes non-suspecting ways. Antibiotics are also being transferred, through manure, into your food supply.

A 2007 study in the Journal of Environmental Quality looked at whether food crops will accumulate antibiotics from soil covered with antibiotic-containing manure. In a greenhouse setting, corn, lettuce and potatoes were grown on soil that contained hog manure with a commonly used veterinary antibiotic and steroid added.

These antibiotics were absorbed by all three crops, into both their leaves and tissue. Meanwhile, the antibiotics also transferred to the potato tubers, suggesting that root crops like carrots, radishes and potatoes may be particularly at risk of antibiotic accumulation.

These findings unfortunately also have implications for organic farmers, who often use manure as their main source of fertilizer. And, as it stands, manure that contains antibiotics is still allowed under the organic label. So how do you Avoid Excessive Antibiotic Exposure? Well to start you ensure that the food you feed to yourself and your family is pure, Natural and healthy.

You can start by growing it yourself if you have the land to do so. But your best option is to get to know a local farmer near you one who uses non-toxic farming methods. If you live in an urban area, there are increasing numbers of community supported agriculture programs available that give you access to healthy, locally grown natural foods even if you live in the heart of the city.

If you are looking for a safer alternative to commercially raised beef please be sure to check out grass-fed beef or Laura's lean beef. Grass-fed cattle are not routinely fed antibiotics or steroids. They may occasionally receive them for an infection, but that would be the rare exception, and even then they are only used for a few days.

One point to Remember Natural" is best, organic is superior; but you also need to learn how to naturally undo the negative effects already suffered you and your family.
