Antibiotics Destroy Memories?
Even in my earliest days of practicing medicine, I was never a big fan of prescribing antibiotics – except, of course, in cases of extreme or life-threatening infections.
Because even back then, I was concerned about the damage these drugs could cause to your gut.
That’s because trillions of microscopic bacteria – some that protect against certain diseases and some that can cause disease – live in your microbiome and exist in a delicate balance with each other.

Government must come clean over scale of crumbly concrete in schools
Responding to the announcement today (Tuesday) that the number of confirmed cases of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) in schools in England has increased to 174, UNISON head of education Mike Short said:

“At-risk schools remain in the dark as they wait for inspections. This is simply not good enough.
“Ministers must come clean, be honest with parents and staff, and give schools clear guidance about what they should do, not leave them stuck in limbo.”
