Adults should also take DDS Acidophilus to counteract the negative side effects on the digestive system. Two capsules one ½ hour before breakfast on an empty stomach is recommended. It can be repeated in the evening ½ hour before dinner.

Do it yourself antibiotics you might consider:

• Kyolic (orderless Garlic or liquid garlic) – liquid garlic can be poured into the ear for ear infections.
