Antibiotics and human friendly bacteria

There are billions of tiny animals in the human body… germs, viruses, fungi, protozoa etc. In scientific terms, these are called “microorganisms”.

Experts say that they are as numerous as our cells. Modern science has called these small organisms an organ. The reason is that these microorganisms, especially the friendly bacteria, play an important role in maintaining our physical and mental health.

For example, when an unhealthy microbe or virus enters the human body, these small organisms first try to kill it. Meanwhile, they also alert the cells of our immune system.

Thus the cells rush to kill the invader. These organisms help us a lot in digesting the food we eat. It is an important function because through it human cells get energy, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients and enable themselves to work.

In the human body, the digestive system (throat, stomach and intestines), mouth, skin, genitals and lungs are the breeding grounds of human friendly bacteria. The most important of these are the digestive system and the mouth, where billions of members of more than ten thousand species of bacteria are found. All these fulfill their responsibility in digesting the food and thus keep the human being healthy and energetic.

According to experts, 99% of the germs found in the human body are our friends. That is, they do not harm humans medically. While 1 percent of germs can make a person suffer from various diseases.

Poor diet, bad lifestyle, smoky air and some other negative factors increase the number of harmful germs in the human body. Due to this, the human being becomes a victim of the diseases created by them more easily.

Scientific research and experiments have discovered that specific drugs that destroy diseases created by germs…antibiotics are also harmful to friendly germs. This is because these medicines do not distinguish between good and bad germs and when ingested, kill them all.

Humans have been using antibiotics for over a century. With their help, the lives of millions of people have been saved. This drug also has two significant side effects. The first is that they enter the digestive system and kill friendly bacteria living there. Secondly, they create immunity in the offspring of the surviving harmful germs.

This means that the offspring of germs go through the natural evolution process and produce genes in themselves that cannot be killed by antibiotics. Thus, that medicine becomes ineffective against them.

It seems ironic that the antibiotics that save the precious lives of millions of people every year are now destroying the health of millions of people by killing the friendly bacteria in the digestive system. This is a miracle of birth. The main reason is that people around the world are using more antibiotics than ever before.

Look at Pakistan. Antibiotics medicines are commonly available in open medical stores in the streets of our country. Everyone buys them easily. Due to its easy availability, antibiotics are taken if the condition is a little bad.

Due to this practice, many antibiotics have become useless as overuse has developed immunity against them in harmful bacteria. So now these drugs do not affect many types of germs and they are endangering the lives of millions of people by spreading diseases.

The only way to eradicate new types of anti-human bacteria is to develop new types of antibiotics that are effective against the enemies. But developing a new antibiotic is a costly and time-consuming process. It takes many years to form. That is why most pharmaceutical companies shy away from making antibiotics.

When a forest is to be cleared, all the trees are cut down using machines. Similarly, when an antibiotic enters the human stomach, it kills all the bacteria living there. This has become the biggest disadvantage of these drugs today. In the past, medical scientists were not particularly aware that the bacteria in our digestive system perform many beneficial human activities.

That’s why they don’t even know why many men and women get stomach problems after taking antibiotics. Now, modern research and experiments have revealed that if the good bacteria of the digestive system die, then the person gets caught in various diseases.

That’s why medical experts are now trying to invent antibiotics that target only the bad and disease-causing bacteria. Do not harm the friendly microbes. If such a drug is developed, it will be another major human achievement.

Recently, it has been revealed that the bacteria in the digestive system also influence human emotions and feelings. This means that if the condition of the human friendly germ is bad, then inevitably the human being can also feel withered, disappointed and hopeless. But if the condition of the germs is good, it also has a pleasant effect on the human being. He finds himself refreshed, hopeful and energetic.

Medical experts say that the more variety of good bacteria we have in our digestive system, the better for our health. With their help, a person stays healthy and away from diseases. Eat fresh vegetables, fruits, grains and yogurt to increase these types. Use more potent antibiotics only when absolutely necessary. Don’t take it for granted that these philanthropists have become the biggest enemies of rationalism. Use them as directed by your doctor.
