Zpak addict

28 Jan

Do you call your dealer at the first sign of a cold? You know who I mean — the MD who is willing to call in a prescription for the Z-Pak or some other antibiotic variation without seeing you just on the basis of a stuffy nose? I remember those days well, so I get it. However, NOW I get the impact of repeated antibiotic use, particularly if you are already prone to yeast-releated issues. But it works, you might say. And, you’re right. Antibiotics may wipe out the tiny little cold your body could easily fight on its own if you would just let it. But, WAKE UP this overuse of antibiotics is actually making your body less resitant to infection. So you will get sick more often. Not to mention the field day yeast will have once the antibiotics kill off the good bacteria your gut needs to prevent disease. 

TIPS: Rest. Purified Water. Probiotics. Lots and lots of Vitamin C.
