These &#8220;good&#8221; germs aid with digestion and protect our system from &#8220;bad&#8221; germs.<\/p>\n<p>In the process of killing off microorganisms that cause infections, antibiotics also destroy large amounts of gut bacteria. As a result, patients on a course of antibiotics often experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Connection Between Gut Bacteria and Cancer Treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Gang Zhou, corresponding author of the study, explained that certain bacteria in the microbiota are necessary to activate the T-cells involved in cancer treatment known as adoptive T-cell therapy. A newer form of treatment called <a href=\"https:\/\/issels.com\/blog\/2017\/08\/25\/cancer-treatment-using-car-t-cells-excites-researchers-with-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CAR T-cell therapy<\/a> appears to be resistant to the antibiotic effect because it works on its own, with little reliance on the immune system.<\/p>\n<p>Co-author Dr. Locke Bryan pointed out that antibiotics are often used in conjunction with chemotherapy. This traditional cancer treatment lowers white blood cell counts to the point where there&#8217;s no defense against bacteria, and an infection can be lethal to an already weakened immune system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Individualized Treatment Plans for Specific Needs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our personally tailored <a href=\"http:\/\/issels.com\/treatment-summary\/comprehensive-core-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">immunobiologic core treatments<\/a> are designed to remove or repair factors that inhibit the body&#8217;s natural defense mechanisms. <a href=\"http:\/\/66.135.32.155\/issels\/Questionnaire\/request-issels-info.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact us<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doctors always take care when prescribing combinations of drugs due to possible negative interactions.
