FACTS: 95% of acute sickness is caused by viral infection. Viruses are not alive. Antibiotics DO NOT kill viruses or aid in the recovery of viral illness. Symptoms experienced during common colds/flus are from your own immune response, not the invader. Suppressing those symptoms means suppression of your immune system. (This includes fever) Antibiotics given for viral infections may prolong the illness and predispose you to more severe health problems down the road. REALITIES: People visit the doctor when not feeling well to get relief of symptoms. Doctors often comply with a patients desire to FEEL BETTER by prescribing antibiotics for viral infections. This weakens the immune system and leaves you predisposed for other acute infections. Get adjusted, support the immune system, go home and rest. Your cold is likely to last 2 days instead of 2 weeks. Happy healing!
