Someone just accused me of saying that all antibiotics are "the devil" and that is incorrect. I simply believe that they are over prescribed.

As my doc told me. People come to her all the time wanting a "quick fix". She says that when you are a healthy adult without a compromised immune system. your body is able to fight off most every infections. Also it is often difficult for a doctor to determine whether something is viral or bacterial. But some people want a script for everything and she is not that type of doc. She says that you can come to a point where the over use of antibiotics can actually backfire on you and stop working because your body becomes immune to them.

I was actually just reading an article in Parents Magazine that says that Pediatrician are now agree that most ear infections in children resolve on their own without the use of drugs.

What I DO find crazy is people who do not believe in the use of medicines at all. I have a friend in my mom group who believes that all illness can be cured using chiropractic care and vitamins. THAT to me is crazy.
