More from the Functioanl PS site:
"In women and rats, antibiotics were found to cause blood levels of estrogen and cortisol to decrease, while progesterone increased. This effect apparently resulted from the liver’s increased ability to inactivate estrogen and to maintain blood sugar when the endotoxin stress was decreased."---RP
I have found this to be ABSOLUTELY 100% true for me....Every single time I have taken antibiotics in my life (which is A LOT) my symptoms always got better. Only now I no longer use antibiotics and choose to use raw organic garlic instead. Dr. Peat says raw garlic hard on the stomach so I'm reluctant to recommend it, but my situation was extreme so I used it. I can say for certain that I handle sugars far far better when my gut flora is in check...who'dathunk?
