Replies on Homeopathic Remedies for Dog Tooth Extraction Recovery

I'm opposed to antibiotics for several reasons. First, they're a drug. All drugs are chemicals that are both unnatural to the body and they all have side effects. One side effect is that they destroy both the good and bad bacteria. Good bacteria is essential in the digestive system for good health. 70-80% of the immune system is in the gut and it's obviously imperative to keep this strong. Second, the issue of resistance to antibiotics because of their over-use. Third, my family has been able to resolve every infection and even pneumonia using natural remedies like colloidal silver, oil of oregano, olive leaf extract and coconut oil. My girlfriend cured a rescued dog of MRSA using natural remedies after none of the antibiotics her vet prescribed worked. Nothing (bacteria, virus, etc) can live in the presence of silver; oil of oregano is more powerful than antibiotics - all this without harm. I believe Dr. Pitcairn is correct when he stated that our Creator gave us everything needed not only to live but to thrive. It's up to us to learn all about it and thrive instead of just survive.

I can tell you why I'm against their routine use; they kill off the good gut flora in the process of killing the infection being treated. Then you struggle to re balance the the intestinal state by improving the numbers of good bacteria. Immune function depends on a healthy gut. When the immune system functions as it was designed to, all disease can be overcome.
I agree that antibiotics can save a life, but I feel that they're over prescribed and should only be for critical, life threatening disease states. The new antibiotic resistant strains or MRSA infections are the result of over-use. I also had a cat given a Convenia injection die immediately, so I am ever-so wary of antibiotics now!
