Decreased use of antibiotics in childhood, brings down the numbers of children developing asthma... very interesting gut connection.

Something else of interest to read other than about this diabolical virus.

Stay safe.

Good to know, as I had been thinking of you. Every time I see rugby on TV, in the rain, I think of your husband! Sorry there isn't any at the moment.

This doesn't surprise me in the least. I am pretty certain that many doses of antibiotics in my younger years was what led to me having Graves in my mid 20's. Thanks for posting. I also think that the medical profession realised this a few years ago and that was the reason for Doctors being told not to prescribe so many antibiotics.

It's the double edged sword... And must be used sparingly, but people also need to complete their courses sensibly too and not leave things half finished. I also know that my three autoimmune conditions HAVR to be as a direct result of the copious antibiotics I've been given.

We must keep an open mind and learn all the time. And take advice from Hippocrates who said 'all disease starts in the gut'.... And in these current times 'be kind to ourselves and others'.

Stay well.

I agree with all you say Poppy_the_cat . Yes, we live and learn, but sometimes it is a very hard lesson. You stay well too.

You too... Keep on Buzzing 😊🌞
