Gotta wonder about the impact of probiotics on antibiotic users though. Whether it makes a difference.

The doc I see recommends what he described as African Bushman colonic flora after a round of antibiotics.

Why not use vitamins and skip the antibiotics entirely? Or better yet, why not take sufficient vitamins daily so one does not get infections which need to be treated?

Well pneumonia untreated by antibiotics might kill me. as it is, I'm still weak as fuck. I'd love to know what supplements might cure me of it. I'll willingly take them.

In your case, go for the antibiotics. But if you take ~20,000 IU of D3 and Vitamin C to near bowel tolerance *every day* you probably will not get pneumonia next time you are exposed to it.

Antiobotics aren't used just for "sick people". It used for animals too. Antiobotics used when the time is right works. Penicillin is a normal substance made by fungus that someone watched growing on a window sill on a forgotten orange. There is a place in nature for it, but it's not supposed to be used for everything like how people use it now. Even when you have a virus doc still gives you antibiotics. ridiculous!

Also a large portion of people taking antibiotics who are young are taking it to get rid of acne. Acne sadly had many causes and Vitamin D rarely helps that.

I welcome it but prepare for the price of meats to go up!

No antibiotics in animal feed will probably put an end to animals fed in yards rather than out on pasture. Non-organic (or pseudo organic) animals have a miserable life of ghastly over-crowding living amidst their own waste and dead animals.

D is good for viruses. Acne isn't a viral infection. Best to determine the cause of acne instead of treating the symptom. But that would mean doctors would have to be trained in healing, not just removing symptoms thru pushing drugs.
