Tyler is always sick though, sometimes on antibiotics.
I had an ear/sinus infection during diplomas so I got antibiotics for that but I was quite sick. Little things that you can get better from fast have no need for antibiotics. However, as Tyler said, illness that can turn deadly fast should be treated ASAP.

Well i know this person who had a cold for 5 days. She did not go and get any kind of help. then after 3 more days she went to the doctors and they told her she had severe broncitics. She was on antiboitics for the next two weeks. her doctor told her to come in whenever she has a cold and it does not go away after 5 days.

I barely ever go to the doctor.. iv been sick for way longer then 6 days and im still alive. Some people just gotta suck it up and build themselves up. I dont need to stinking antibiotics! lol

there was a study done when kids before the age of 1 who took any anitbotic were more likely to have asthma.. plus, not all bugs need drugs..viruses your body can fight off itself.. it does it like a million times a day bcause there are soo many germs in the air.. but the more drugs you take the less likely you will be able to fight it off because the bacterium have found a way to change or trick the medication.. plus medication kill of the healthy cells too.. which is why you feel so tired after taking medication..hmm i wonder how the day medication works that doesnt make you drowsy?

That is true but i am just pointing out from my own personnel experience that if you are sick for more than 5 days maybe you should go see the doctor beacuse if you do not get help it could lead to more serious problems.

heehee if i went to the doctor everytime i was sick for more than 5 days and we didn't have this amazing health care system i'd probably have like a billion $ tab.

What doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger. But I hardly ever go to the doctor, and I'm rarely sick. I don't think I've ever been on antibiotics. Don't they somehow screw up your immune system, and that brings me to another question...are flu shots really all the good (not for seniors and children but for young adults)?

with the flu shot, they actually inject the virus into you.. so your body learns to recongnize this virus and kill it off if it were to come back... but the flu is ever changing its shape.. yeah its beneficial... but not really.. maybe for the old and young because their immune systems are slowing down or just building.. like me, i have a very strong immune system.. i am rarely sick

Well they do inject the flue into you but the flue organisms are dead so the body is able to make the white blood cells needed to fight off the real thing when you do get it. And with plants making new treatments for different diseases I thing that the government should fund this projects. Also there is a new cure for diabetes that has come out in the last 4 months. We are slowly coming along but at least we are getting better.

the more chemicals that you put into your body the more at risk you are at getting another harmful disease. for example taking a new diabetes medication may help your diabetes but whats to say that this medication won't activate cancerous cells in your body. i believe that its up to the person to decide if they want medication or not since it's thier decision

But what if that medication will save your life. And the chances of someone getting cancer form a new medication. Even if that was a side affect don’t you thing that the Canadian government would ban it. Don’t forget that the Canadian government does tests on the medications before they can release it to the public.

the canadian government does a lot more testing on new drugs and therapies than do most countries. there are a bunch of drugs available in the US that aren't allowed in canada yet because they havent undergone sufficient study. many medications do however have very harmful sideeffects and yet they are still available. chemotherapy, while killing cancerous cells, also kills healthy cells. thats why patients sign waiver forms so that they know what they are getting themselves into if they do choose to take a drug or undergo therapy

It is so unfortunate that some people that go through chemo, go through all of it for nothing, and end up harming themselves more by going through it. Hopefully, someday there will be a safe and inexpensive cure for cancer.
