Antibiotics are destroying health.....

Chronic ill health is rising and major diseases have increased massively with more illness and chronic illness in children than ever before.

I suspect it will be found that the abuse and overuse of antibiotics, which should only ever be used in life and death situations, is the major culprit, particularly when so many are given to babies and children and doctors have encouraged parents to fear temperatures in their children when higher temperature is a part of the body's healing system.

"It is ironic that this humbled fungus, hailed as a benefactor of mankind, may by its very success prove to be a deciding factor in the decline of the present civilization."

-Dr. John I. Pitt, The Genus Penicillium, Academic Press, 1979

Simply put, antibiotics are poisons that are used to kill. Only licensed physicians can prescribe them. The drugs are used to kill bacteria. Certainly, many people have benefited from using them. However, if bacteria were the only organisms that antibiotics killed, much of this book would be unnecessary.

In fact, I contend that poisons that kill small organisms in small doses -- organism-specific varieties notwithstanding -- can also kill big organisms, when they are taken in big doses. You, my friend, are a big organism.
