Do not take unnecessary medication.
Unnecessary drugs are an invitation to allergy, dependency, needless expense and countless side effects. Three quarters of your immune system is located in your gut, where it protects against foreign toxic substances in your food. A healthy balance of gut material is essential to normal immune system functioning. But if you take too many antibiotics too often this natural function is disturbed.
Overuse of anti-microbials promotes the emergence of resistant organisms with dangerous prospects to your future health. Keep your medicine cabinet very light and after you finish taking prescribed medicine throw away any left over pills. This will reduce the chance of being tempted to take an outdated or inappropriate drug in the future.
