Antibiotics

“This thing isn’t going away & nothing else is working…so I’m going to have to take ANTIBIOTICS!”


Peter said, "Lord, if it's you, tell me to come to you on the water." So Jesus invites Peter to come. Peter gets out of the boat and begins walking on the water toward Jesus. But when Peter takes his eyes off Jesus and sees the wind and waves, he begins to sink. Peter cries out to the Lord and Jesus immediately reaches out his hand and catches Peter. As they climb into the boat together, the storm ceases. Matt. 14:27



“Treating bacterial infections with antibiotics is like putting kerosene on an already burning fire” (Dr. Robert O. Young, www.phmiracleliving.com)


Would you drop a Nuclear bomb on your house to get rid of rats? You may get rid of the rats, but you’ll also get rid of the house! This is exactly what happens when you take an antibiotic. You kill off “bugs” in one part of your body, only to create a Global disaster!

"Patients who did not take antibiotics had a higher rate of recovery than those who did; the rate of recovery did not differ between different types of antibiotic. Antibiotic treatment did not improve the rate of recovery of patients in this study." (From, Culpepper et al, British Medical Journal 1990)


Ø
The university of Washington found that if you filled 25 or more prescriptions for antibiotics over 17 years you double your risk of cancer. (Time, Dec 6,2004)


Ø
Infants exposed to one single round of antibiotics during their first year of life are twice as likely to develop Asthma as those who don’t. The more courses of Antibiotics, the worse the immunity and the greater the risk of asthma. (Newsday, March 6,2006)


Ø
“Antibiotics don’t just lead to an increase in the risk of Asthma. Antibiotics destroy our normal flora, which has severe adverse effects on the immune system function, digestion and absorption, and vitamin production. This adversely affects the function of every cell in the human ecosystem and significantly contributes to the development of illness. Deficiency in our normal flora also leads to the colonization of pathogenic flora, especially yeast and gram negative bacteria.” Dr. James L. Chestnut, The Wellness Practice-Global Self Help Corp.


Ø
Researchers attempted to study how long the ill effects of antibiotics last by studying people for 6 months. At the end of 6 months, people still showed low resistance and poor immunity leading the researchers to conclude that they have no idea how long lasting or how damaging the effects of antibiotics truly are.

Ø Children's Ears & Antibiotics: Gold Mine for Pharmaceutical Companies, Land Mine for Children
(The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research Guidelines, "Otitis Media with Effusion in Young Children." August 1994)


Ø A more recent study of the antibiotic treatment of acute otitis media in over 3600 children in nine countries (Australia, Belgium, Canada, Great Britain, Israel, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland and the United States) also suggests that the repeated use of antibiotics hindered a patient's ability to heal.





Ø Dr. Erdem Cantekin, Director of Research at the OMRC…Cantekin's analysis of the data concluded that there was no evidence that Amoxicillin was any more effective than placebos.



Ø The Cantekin et al. analysis concluded, "Amoxicillin with and without decongestant-antihistamine combination is not effective for the treatment of persistent asymptomatic middle-ear effusions in infants and children." (Appendix J) 1991, The Journal of the American Medical Association



Ø "We found that gifts and offers of value related to studies, speaking engagements, and program attendance are used by pharmaceutical companies to promote their drugs. We also found that promotional practices involving items of value appear to affect physicians' prescribing decisions."("Prescription Drug Promotion Involving Payments and Gifts: Physicians' Perspectives", p.i)

Ø “The basic message is that treating a patient with an antibiotic will cause a dramatic change of his normal [bacterial] flora and select for resistant genes that can spread to a true pathogen(disease),” said lead researcher Herman Goossens, MD, PhD in a Lancet podcast interview. (The Clinical Advisor, April 2007, Newsline)


Ø Taking a precautionary antibiotic before a trip to the dentist isn’t necessary for most people, and in fact, might create more harm than good, according to updated recommendations from the American Heart Association. The drugs carry risks, including fatal allergic reactions and possibly making the bacteria that cause IE to become resistant to antibiotics. Although allergic reactions are minimal, new evidence shows the risks outweigh the benefits for most patients receiving these antibiotics. "We've concluded that if giving prophylactic antibiotics prior to a dental procedure works at all -- and there's no evidence that it does work -- we should reserve that preventive treatment only for those people who would have the worst outcomes if they get IE. That's a profound change from previous recommendations," said Walter R. Wilson, M.D., a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and chair of the writing group. Ø Popping antibiotics send thousands to the ER http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26179837/ -



Ø The U.S. Center for Disease Control continues to argue that 36,000 people die annually of the flu, even though available statistics show that the true number is less than 100.



Ø Bacterial antibiotic resistance is wholly avoidable and caused solely by use of antibiotics & the reckless over-prescribing habits of doctors.



According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center,"taking a vaccine or an antibiotic of any kind will only prove that you can poison yourself and then hopefully live through the experience. There is no such thing as a safe or effective vaccine or antibiotic. All vaccines and antibiotic are highly acidic and have the potential to make one very sick and very tired.


“In our almost messianic quest to wipe out child-hood disease--through vaccinations, antibiotics and fever-reducing drugs—MEDICAL DOCTORS have produced a wasteland of children who are literally chronically sick and tired, spending lives feeling uncomfortable in their untransformed skins. It is as if we have prevented caterpillars from becoming butterflies because the time of immobility as a chrysalis can be dangerous. Well it is dangerous, at least a little, but it is more dangerous--in fact deadly--to never allow a child to fulfill his or her destiny and become a butterfly. We urgently need to respect the transformative power of illness, to pluck up our courage and not succumb to those who promise better health through injecting us with poisons, or harsh anti-life medicines that become less and less effective. And more than anything we need to believe in the healing powers of our children's bodies, so we can give them the gift of confidence in their own strength as they embark on the challenges of adulthood.” Thomas Cowan, MD



***Peter doesn't begin to sink until he starts looking around at the wind and the waves. Taking our eyes off THE BODY’S AMAZING HEALING POWER, and focusing on the fear that medicine has instilled in our psyche, will only cause us to sink & get sicker. But when we put our faith in our innate healing ability, HE catches us by the hand and raises us above the seemingly impossible surroundings & he shows us that our bodies can do amazing things! Peter starts out with good intentions, but his faith falters. This does not, however, end up in failure. Peter, even in his fear, cries out to the Lord, the only one who can help him.
Though we may not walk across water, we will go through difficult, faith-testing circumstances, but always remember…



The Power that Made the body heals the Body, EVERYTIME!

Dr. Hayek Ph.D. reported at the international Conference on Spinal Manipulation that his recent study in Australia showed that chiropractic care significantly decreased cortisol levels, anxiety levels, and depression levels, and significantly INCREASED IMMUNE FUNCTION! True immunity can only be found by maintaining the health of the system that controls all health, healing, & immunity in the human body: THE NERVE SYSTEM!

How many families in our community have asthma, allergies, and various diseases from taking antibiotics? How many people have cancer because of their doctor’s recommendations? How many families are suffering in our community because they don’t know the whole truth or perhaps the truth has been hidden from them? How many children’s immune systems are ruined by the belief that drugs keep us safe when in fact they are harming us, or worse, killing us?

Who do you know that needs to have their nerve system checked TODAY!
