Antibiotics

Antibiotics kill or stop bacteria. They save lives and also disrupt gut ecology and select resistance when misused.

Peat's view

Tetracyclines share structural features with anthraquinones like emodin, giving them anti-inflammatory as well as antibiotic properties. A drug's non-antibacterial actions can matter as much as killing bacteria.^[1] Take full indicated courses for real infections. Support digestion afterward with simple foods. Do not use leftover antibiotics casually.
