In Praise of Dirt
We need interaction with dirt and germs to rain our immune system in now to respond appropriately to stimuli in our environment - what to react to and what to ignore. An immune system that doesn't get up close and personal with enough germs early on is like a kid with overprotective parents, ill equipped to deal with problems when they inevitably happen. |
Are we too Clean on the Inside?
There's such a strong link between antibiotic use and digestive issues that it's literally the first question l ask new patients in my practice. But the idea that antibiotics might cause serious autoimmune illnesses like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis is a relatively new concept. It's also a troubling one, because our threshold for prescribing antibiotics is dangerously low. What's more, for decades we've been using antibiotics to treat flare-ups of these diseases! |
