Antibiotics? I Think Not
Summary:
Doctors today are more cautious about prescribing antibiotics unless a bacterial infection is confirmed. Unfortunately, this caution comes late, as overuse has already led to the rise of resistant superbugs.Article:
Have you noticed the shift in doctors’ willingness to prescribe antibiotics only when necessary? While it might seem like progress, this change is overdue. The overprescription and misuse of antibiotics have already paved the way for drug-resistant superbugs.
Antibiotics were once celebrated as life-saving advancements. In the past, they were prescribed for a wide range of ailments, even viral infections, to appease patients eager for a quick fix. This not only did little to help but also hindered our immune systems from developing strong defenses through natural recovery methods like rest, hydration, and natural supplements.
Over-relying on antibiotics has left us exposed to formidable superbugs, unless one's immune system is bolstered by a natural diet, wholesome supplements, and regular exercise.
The Impact on Pets:
Our quick-fix mentality has also affected our pets. Using antibiotics and steroids without due consideration weakens their immune systems as well. Holistic approaches, like homeopathy and herbal remedies, can assist in maintaining health by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, as noted by Marina Zacharias, author of Healthy Breeding with Herbs and Homeopathy.
To safeguard our pets from superbugs, consulting with a holistic veterinarian is crucial. Feeding pets a species-appropriate diet, such as raw food for cats and dogs, combined with supplements like prebiotics and probiotics, can mitigate the need for antibiotics.
A troubling issue is the transmission of superbugs such as MRSA. Though more prevalent in the UK, this human-to-animal transmissible infection raises concerns. My friend lost her beloved Samoyed, Bella, to this infection, highlighting the severe threat it poses.
The Role of Good Bacteria:
Jesse Dallas, author of Are Antibiotics Making Your Pet Sick?, emphasizes that antibiotics disrupt the balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut, potentially leading to illness. After antibiotic use, the friendly bacteria decrease drastically, and restoring this balance can take over a year. Preservatives in foods act as "hidden antibiotics," further impacting gut health, highlighting the importance of supplements and natural foods.
A Call to Action:
Now is the time to take proactive steps to protect our health and that of our pets. Essential oils present promising alternatives. In 1985, Dr. Jean Claude Lapraz, MD, found that therapeutic-grade essential oils like Oregano and Cinnamon exhibited powerful antibacterial properties, preventing viruses and bacteria from thriving.
Conclusion:
Embracing natural remedies for you and your pets fosters stronger immune systems and reduces dependency on antibiotics. Consider integrating these holistic approaches into your family’s lifestyle for a healthier future.Originally published for the Holistic Pet Care topic on Suite101.com
