Long-term use of antibiotics may be particularly hazardous. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2017\/04\/long-term-use-of-antibiotics-may-raise-risk-of-bowel-cancer\/\">study published in 2017<\/a> found such use could increase the risk of bowel cancer, for example.<\/p>\n<p>Antibiotic use has also been linked to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2019\/04\/antibiotic-use-linked-to-greater-risk-of-heart-attack-and-stroke-in-women\/\">greater risk of heart attack and stroke<\/a>. In a study published in 2019, researchers found that women aged 60 or older who took\u00a0antibiotics\u00a0for two months or more had a greater risk of cardiovascular disease. Long-term use was also shown to be associated with an increased risk when the drugs were taken between the ages of 40 and 59.<\/p>\n<p>Antibiotics similarly carry risks when taken during pregnancy. Children whose mothers are prescribed antibiotics\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2018\/02\/antibiotics-in-pregnancy-linked-to-babys-increased-risk-of-serious-infection\/\">during pregnancy<\/a>\u00a0have been found to have up to 20 per cent increased risk of being hospitalized for serious infections. Other research has linked the drugs to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2020\/02\/common-antibiotics-linked-to-increased-risk-of-birth-defects\/\">increased risk of birth defects<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When given to children, even low use of antibiotics has been shown to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2019\/11\/antibiotics-even-low-use-in-children-can-have-a-negative-impact-on-health\/\">negative impact on health<\/a>. A UK study published in 2019 followed over 250,000\u00a0preschool children and found that\u00a0those who had taken two or more antibiotic courses for acute respiratory tract infections in the preceding year had around a 30 percent greater chance of not responding to subsequent treatment compared to children who hadn&#8217;t taken any antibiotics.<\/p>\n<p>To learn how you can improve your immunity naturally through the use of synergistic combinations of micronutrients, read\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2019\/01\/micronutrients-support-the-immune-system-in-fighting-infections\/\">this article<\/a>\u00a0on our website.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evidence suggests doxycycline and other common antibiotics can raise the risk of psychiatric problems, hallucinations, and suicidal thoughts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48692,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[121],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
