I like this post a great deal because the author, The Homestead Lady, makes a point of underlying the importance of staying healthy with proper foods and measures BEFORE jumping to antibiotics.

But, certainly, the need occasionally arises when it truly is the only resort, and sometimes a life-saving one. Since antibiotics also kill off beneficial intestinal flora, it’s important to supplement with probiotics to ensure you are not doing your immune system a disservice. Here are some ideas for getting them either through fermented foods or supplements:
