Use of Antibiotics
Antibiotics are in the news this week. Yes, it’s very important to find new ones but why don’t they ever talk about probiotics and how they can help boost immunity and so reduce the chance that you’ll need that antibiotic! Antibiotics also kill everything in the gut…the good and the bad bacteria both get wiped out. Hence, why you can often get diarrhoea when taking them.
There are two natural bug killers for the gut that never get a mention. These being garlic and oregano. Garlic works best if you eat it raw so make an olive tapenade and eat it with meat or fish to dilute the taste or take a supplement. It kills bad bacteria on contact. Oregano can be taken as a tablet or as an oil but beware…like antibiotics it kills everything…good and bad bacteria. It is imperative that you take a probiotic after you have taken oregano to repopulate the gut. This is the same for when you’ve had antibiotics. If you don’t repopulate the gut you’ve lost all the protection of the good bacteria.
