So there's sort of three things that I've been able to ascertain as risks of misuse or overuse or inappropriate use of antibiotics, which is the impact on the gut microbiome, that you're contributing to the rise in antibiotic resistance.

That's so the main things.

I guess even with the diseases you get,'ll be slower to heal because you're less if you've got that resistance that is one of the things that we do see

particularly those who are long-term ill you know that they lose some of the healing capacity

and that's so much of the work i do is to aim to put some of that right.

And there's links to colorectal cancers?

Yeah.

But that's it because we're talking about the microbiome, you see.

So those are the cancers in the lower gut.

And we know that the microbiome is a major factor in how well the gutters.

So things like Crohn's and ulcerotocolitis and cancer of the bowel,

very closely linked to the state of the microbiome.

Okay.

So are there alternatives on this table or in the world of plants to antibiotics

that I should maybe also consider,

instead of just jumping straight to antibiotics for everything that I experience.

Yes.

If you've got a serious gut or other infection, you may need the antibiotics,

so let's put that straight away.

But if you've got a cold, flu,

and B, as we just said, they just add to the risk of more. Because every time you take an antibiotic,
