Since the discovery of antibiotics, physicians have treated us for any situation that might arise. We the public put all of our faith into our doctors. Blindly trust our healers we do not ask enough questions. Now we have found ourselves in the era of the “superbugs,” antibiotic resistance infections. I believe a doctor knows what is best for me because they are a credible source that underwent heaps of schooling to be able to diagnose and treat patients. Do doctors practice medicine properly? Are they taking the time to ensure my health is going to be at its all-time best, or are they selfishly putting me at risk?
In the United States, doctors are overprescribing medicine causing the microbes in our body to kill us. First, healthcare professionals …show more content…
The first line includes mucus, nose hairs, stomach acid, skin, and tears; just to name a few. Next, we contain both white blood cells and defensive proteins. This second line destroys pathogens along with demolishing aberrant cells or molecules. B and T cells make up our last defense mechanism. These specialized cells are responsible for remembering antigens that enter your body; resulting in recognizing and destroying the intruder. “If the antigen is encountered again, the secondary immune response will be more rapid, of greater magnitude, and of longer duration than the primary immune response,” according to the book Essential Biology with Physiology. The body is a very strong mechanism that most of the time does not need assistance at all. White blood cells run around multiplying in order to further combat the invader. The whole point of T and B cells are to remember the infection for the next time it occurs. When our bodies are struggling to get rid of bacteria, we use antibiotics. “Antibiotics work by affecting things that bacterial cells have but human cells don’t,” the article Learn Genetics says. For instance, our cells do not have cell walls protecting them; some antibiotics will eliminate the wall. This does not allow for our bodies to solve the problem the natural way, that works the
