| It should be remembered that, the more we use antibiotics, the more resistant the bugs become. This is especially true when a course of antibiotics is abandoned part way through. Directions Ask your doctor if a course of antibiotics is required. In humans, some undetermined activity of bromelain has been documented to increase blood and urine levels of antibiotics. Combining bromelain and antibiotic therapy has been shown to be more effective than antibiotics alone in treating a variety of conditions including pneumonia, bronchitis, staph skin infections, thrombophlebitis, cellulitis, pyelonephritis, perirectal and rectal abscesses, and sinusitis. [Drugs Exp Clin Res 1978;4: pp.45-8]. Expected Outcome After a course of antibiotics, make sure to repopulate your colon with friendly bacteria afterwards: use a broad spectrum probiotic to reintroduce good bacteria and thus keep pathogenic (bad) bacteria and yeast in check. |
