Antibiotics infrequently used are some of the best illness cures ever made

It's not a "War against antibiotics." It's simple biology and evolution. Saying they've never had an adverse effect is completely backwards thinking. The point of medicine is never to "Not have an adverse effect." It's intended to actually treat something specific. And it's not medicine until it's proven to directly treat something with evidence of results.
"Glowing green gunk" is meaningless. You have to know exactly what the gunk is to treat it. Which your doctor would test to find out, he wouldn't simply throw random shit at it and hope it worked. Like I said, antibiotics aren't effective on anything but bacterial infection. It's completely worthless against any virus like the common cold or flu. Taking antibiotics infrequently when you don't actually have an infection is dangerous and stupid. Learn a little biology, you will live longer.
