Yes, that’s the key..I don’t rule them out..just that the overuse has destroyed immunity in so many ways.
No argument here. I just don’t want to count them out as a help in our overall survival.
Antibiotics do not affect the immune system. Taking them might kill off some of the "good" bacteria, which can, in some cases, leave you susceptible to an opportunistic infection like C. difficile.
If you want to avoid drugs that affect the immune system, avoid steroids. They suppress the immune system. If a physician prescribes them for a specific purpose, the benefit probably outweighs the risk, but otherwise...
