There are several research studies that have recently come out that show that 30 to 50 % of oral antibiotics have been unnecessarily prescribed. If we go with this lower number, 30%, this means one in three antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary.This equals about 47 million unnecessary prescriptions per year in the United States alone. This is significant because when you are prescribed these antibiotics, you're not being educated on how they impact your internal health and your long-term health. And when it comes to topical antibiotics, no one's really taking the time to explain how those also impact your internal ecosystem.This is exactly what we are going to be covering in this episode, the difference between oral and topical antibiotics and how they impact your microbiome and your long-term health. And by the end of the episode, you're going to know exactly your next step if you have needed antibiotics. And you're also going to have a new knowledge base so that you are not one of these statistics taking antibiotics unnecessarily.This is not about being pro or anti-medicine or pro or anti-antibiotics. This is about having the information so that you can make informed decisions and be your best advocate, be your child's best advocate and have the tools to be able to intentionally heal if antibiotics are necessary.Thanks for listening!
