Trippling down on your pigheaded ignorance to the point where you're now projecting all your errors and flaws outward.
Steve Jobs infamously had a treatable form of cancer, but instead of going to a doctor and doing the scientifically verified treatment he ate fruit that some nut job said would cure him and he died.
Once again, a false dichotomy, demonstrating an inability of critical thinking and ability to differentiate shades of color.
The only medical advice anyone should ever give is go to a doctor.
This would apply well to YOU, because YOU clearly have no clue what you're talking about. Yet you violated your own policy. You should have stayed quiet on this topic which you clearly know nothing about.
You've linked a lot of other people's opinions, which is fine. A lot of stuff about how doctors aren't always right, diagnoses aren't always correct, and how antibiotics are prescribed in situations that aren't necessary, like viral infections, which agreed, all of that happens.
But the context you're avoiding is your original claim.
While antibiotic resistance gets all the attention, the damage being done to our host-native microbiomes is arguably as big a threat as climate change, as the damage compounds over generations, and once it's gone you can't get it back. (Apr 2019).
It is beyond ridiculous and what started this whole thing.
So, again, for everyone reading, my claim is that doctors should be the ones to make medical decisions. Antibiotics save lives, and to add one more, people who advocate for their disuse because humans make mistakes, should rightfully be called out.
And since you're such a fan of random website "sources".
Buddy, I get it. You're campaigning against antibiotic overuse. That's true. Antibiotics are over prescribed. I've never said they weren't.
What you need to chill on is giving people medical advice. I took a look at your post history, and this is a topic you're clearly passionate about
But you are not a doctor. You are not even in the medical field. It looks like you're an IT nerd. Which is great. We need nerds
But you espousing your opinions can hurt people. There are countless examples of people rejecting medicine that works, for essentially folk cures that do not. People die. Children are one of the most vulnerable to this, and I have personal experience with kids suffering because of people like you, campaigning against western medicine, convincing impressionable morons that alternative medicine works.
You are not a doctor, medical researcher, or a scientist researching bacterial diseases. You are a person reading what other people write on the Internet, and fixating on the gut biome above all other things is simply the wrong way to look at this.
