Although we have conquered or suppressed many diseases with the invention of antibiotics, the science surrounding bacteria and viruses has not answered why the 21st Century has seen explosions of obesity, celiac disease, asthma, allergy syndromes, and Type 1 diabetes. Are we killing off bacteria that help to limit these diseases? We deliver about a third of the four million babies born in the United States by Cesarean section. These babies do not get the shower of bacteria as they pass through the birth canal. Is this why children born by Cesarean have much higher incidences of allergies and asthma? Before antibiotics a woman was born with 10,000 species of bacteria. Each generation born “after antibiotics” has fewer live species of bacteria. Researchers have not counted how many species a modern woman has left from her great grandma’s 10,000. Is it 9,000? Is it 7,000? Inquiring minds and bodies need to know. We are entering a world we know little about.

 

We spend over $2 billion treating several million cases of sinusities with antibiotics each year. New research indicates that our sinus passages contain 1,200 species of bacteria—if we are healthy. But the person with chronic sinusities has only 900 left. So something has killed off 300 species that allow the sinus passages to be filled with gunk. Just maybe …

 

An earwax story out of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine is also illuminating. A man came to the clinic with a chronic infection in his left ear. He told doctors that other doctors had tried everything: anti-fungal drops, antibiotics, and many other treatments. The Pittsburgh doctors gave him additional antibiotics. The patient came back to the clinic a week later and said he was cured. The clinic doctors told him they were glad they had helped him. He said: “You didn’t. I suffered so much after your drugs I took some earwax from my right ear and put it in my diseased left. In two days I was fine, infection cured.” The clinic doctors finally got the answer. The good ear contained good bacteria that killed off the bad in the bad ear. Nothing like an earwax transplant to solve an infection! But what to do if both ears are infected…
