This programme on antibiotic use (below link) re-screened Sunday 11th June on Prime TV.
It investigates the rise of antibiotic resistance and its ‘super-bug’ consequences. It will make you question the relevance of antibiotic use in relation to your own long-term health and the significance & impact of our history of over prescribing antibiotics.
Gut problems are a common complaint in the Mint Nutrition clinic & Antibiotic use (or misuse) is definitely part of the picture often so we thought this documentary was worth spreading.
