Does it really work? Plant remedies and your actual experinces.

I think we overuse antibiotics, to be honest. Often we're wasting an incredible blessing on things that really do not need anything other than time and care to heal well.
Antibiotics screw up gut bacteria too

The right time and reason, I reckon.

Hi, Mary,
our daughter has and is very ill, I'm eternally grateful for antibiotics for the hours we spend with her. A few weeks back she returned from work in a very painful state, doctors had it badly wrong again saying she had spasms in her back (she had breast cancer three years ago), we nursed her for two weeks, finally haviing to call an ambulance just over three weeks ago.

She was in intensive care in a bad way, a few days later the doctors/surgeons called us together, we asked how long has she got, he said "minutes". They bombarded her with antibiotics, she had meningitis, pnuemonia, cancer of the bones, bit of it in the lung, a leak in her heart and things in her brain.

She came round a few days later, yesterday she came home to our house still fighting like the great fighter she is,
her 4yr old daughter has a sports day tomorrow, the main reason she is out.

The nurses are coming out to tend to her, she's smiling and has enough meds to fill a car boot for the month.
We're so grateful for antibiotics at this time.

We're living in hope that it works for her.

Your all in my prayers Opal and wish well for the future.

Thanks Rik, I'm running out of prayers, mate.

It sounds as though your daughter's example is exactly why antibiotics are a blessing and shouldn't be used carelessly.
Heartfelt best wishes for every improvement in her health; my own son's battle with cancer is still all too raw, even though we are assured that Andrew's is in full remission.

The wee smilie hug is too happy for the way we feel over things like this, but any help or comfort we can offer is yours.
Kindest regards,
Mary

Toddy, Opal, You both have my prayers. And Toddy I agree with you on that point. I'm grateful for antibiotics but at the same time I hope their overuse/misuse doesn't further degrade their usefulness.
