LOS ANGELES - The widespread use of standard antibiotics to treat sinus infections does not help cure patients and may harm them by increasing their resistance to the drugs, according to a new study published yesterday.
The researchers found that the percentage of patients who got well in 10 days was about the same whether they took an antibiotic or a placebo.
Dr. Ian Williamson, a family medicine researcher at the University of Southampton in England and lead author of the paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association:
"With a little bit of patience, the body will usually heal itself."
Yeah, the way nature and God intended it!
So will a nation, too, readers!
