Antibodies are one of the most commonly used medications given to patients in modern medicines. In few cases this medication might prove to be life saving. But this medicine is not used for major life threatening illness. Antibiotic drug usage is commonly found in children. More than 83 million of new antibiotic drugs are manufactured every year. This drug is mostly prescribed for ear infections, sinusitis, bronchitis, sore throat and colds.
Intestinal tract is damaged by antibiotics in two ways. The antibiotic drug destroys the friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract. Generally a healthy intestine must have billions and billions of cells of several hundred kinds of friendly bacteria. The natural enzyme secretions help break up the viral toxins, bile, pus, chemical wastes, hormones, cellular debris, negative bacteria, and other harmful substances before they can cause any damage. The job of the friendly bacteria is broken up into less caustic material before it reaches the large intestine. Without the help of the friendly bacteria the burning bile enters the large intestine and causes damage to the intestinal lining. Leaky gut syndrome diet always helps in maintaining the strength of these friendly bacteria.
Another way by which the antibiotics damage the intestinal lining is by allowing the growth of the Candida albicans, negative bacteria and other yeasts. When antibiotics destroy the friendly bacteria the antibiotic resistant Candida and antibiotic resistant bacteria occupy the space in the intestinal lining. Candida also releases a chemical which is called as aldehyde. This is a form of highly active organic compound which is achieved by combining certain alcohols which cause the cells in the intestine to shrink and open spaces for the cells which results in leaky gut syndrome.
