Guest Energy11 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 My uncle, 91, has a very bad Staph infection, that no ones how is got. It is resistant to almost every antibiotic. He had had to take IV infusions of Vancomycin, which is a A BIG GUN of an antibiotic. His doc recommended eating yogert with probiotics, and taking supplements. So far, so good, but, yes, antibiotics kill the "good bacteria," too. I will pass this article onto my aunt and uncle, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
