Everybody knows that in order to have a healthy body, you need to eat a naturally healthy and balanced diet and get a proper level of exercise – and a positive attitude always helps.

Editor's Notes
Health = More than treating PCD (I.e. in case of underweight, often encouraged to eat junk/fast/high fat foods). Solving one problem and creating another.
“Looking good” in those jeans Having gunky lungs or not Being “regular” or not A peanut buster parfait with a diet coke The latest fad diet or pill No, NOT CARBS! No exercise required Believing ‘healthy’ claims “ Oh, this one says whole grain!” Outliving your parents or outpacing your DNA Predisposition for diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure/cholesterol . . . The list goes on & on . . .

Until we have a cure for PCD, antibiotics will continue to be the primary weapon to fight against infection & lung destruction. While they help fight infection, they also wipe out "good" intestinal bacteria (healthy microflora) that help keep our digestive systems functioning normally. There's evidence that without normal "good" bacteria in the digestive tract, our immune system wouldn't function properly, and we would be less resistant to harmful bugs Immediate effects of the disruption of normal gut flora by antibiotics are often diarrhea, cramping, bloating or other unpleasant digestive issues. They can also cause yeast infections or in the mouth overgrowth of yeast causes thrush. We need to find ways to tap into the body’s natural ability to heal and protect itself and to counteract the potential challenges of long-term antibiotic use
