I guess all of us are familiar with this very term "antibiotics". Bila pergi hospital mesti dapat ubat ni. For that reason, it is undoubtedly has saved so may lives from viral and bacterial infections. 

BUT!

Apparently, we often heard in the media nowadays regarding excessive use of antibiotics which has come to my interest to dig more about it. Surprisingly, the fact that we have used too much antibiotics is true. 

YOU MIGHT WANT TO ASK HOW?

These are among the facts that how we are immersed into the excessive use of antibiotic.

Fact 1: Misuse of prescription 

I quote a part of an article. You can read the rest of the article here

"A truly disturbing practice is the prescribing of antibiotics by some doctors to treat colds, coughs, runny noses or flu. Most upper respiratory infections are viral. Treating them with antibiotics is clear and blatant misuse, since the drugs kill only bacteria and are of no value at all in treating viral infections. There are treatments that can relieve the symptoms of a cold, but there is no drug (over-the-counter or prescription) that will cure a cold." 

I think most of us, the consumers who is non-medical-practitioner, do not know about this fact. The only thing we know is to get antibiotics in order to kill the germs that cause fever and cold. But the reality is Antibiotics do not just get rids off the pathogenic or “bad” bacteria. "They also cold heartedly destroy the beneficial bacteria necessary and vital to good health". Hence, that is why we are said consuming excessive antibiotics. 

Fact 2: Meat and Poultry (i.e. chicken)

It has been ages that meat and poultry industry uses growth-promoting antibiotics. Initially, the intention of is mainly to keep the chicken alive in such a stressful, unsanitary conditions, and to speed up their growth. 

Nevertheless, I quote,"scientists have raised concerns that, in conjunction with the general overuse of antibiotics in humans, this use of "sub-therapeutic" levels of antibiotics in food animals may lead to serious health risks for people. " (you can read the full article here).

Inilah sebab kenapa "ayam modern" cepat sgt membesar. Dalam masa 3 bulan dh boleh tuai & jual kt pasaran. The ugly truth is the chicken is not even healhty.

Moreover, the practice of giving excessive antibiotics leads to new strains of drug or antibiotic-resistant in human E. Coli infections.  (Dalam bahasa mudahnye, sistem immuniti badan seseorang dh lali dgn bacterial infection sebab dh bacteria kebal and bebal). 

The mechanism of macrolide antibiotic resistance in S. antibioticus.

E Coli causes infection in blood stream which primarily derived from food animal sources. With no further examination on health, the infection can lead to the worst situation which is DEAD! 

In UK alone, many has been reported with E Coli infection that causes blood poisoning cases and 8000 has died.(read here) 

So you see, how serious the situation is. Kita mungkin tak perasan atau mengambil berat akan hal sebegini kerana sekarang ni mungkin apa yang kita makan tidak memberi kesan yang cepat. Tp let me clarify, kesan ini mengambil masa yang panjang and lets give in 10 years time, apa akn jad?Sama mcm merokok, ia memberi kesan jangka lama yang boleh meragut nyawa pengguna. 

MAHUKAH anda dan keluarga menjadi mangsa "silent killer" ini?
