When people are ill, they often become impatient. They feel anxiety, pressure and stress to return to their daily responsibilities. So, if symptoms last longer than a few days, they seek outside intervention. They go to a physician and obtain, for example, a prescription for antibiotics. Antibiotics can certainly be very effective in interrupting the natural cycle of bacterial infections but they are useless against viral infections. This process can also create conditions that are negative.

When the antibiotic destroys the micro-organisms responsible for the illness, the distressful symptoms subside. The body, though, is now flooded with dead microorganisms. If it has the strength and vitality to eliminate these toxic residuals through the organs of elimination (e.g., kidneys, liver, skin, and intestines), then there is no problem in restoring health. If the body lacks vitality because of poor diet and nutrition, inefficient digestion, constipation, or a lack of water intake, then the body is not able to completely flush out these toxic metabolic wastes. As a result, symptoms such as fatigue, continue.
