In this brief excerpt, Dr. Steven Gundry emphasizes that antibiotics are overused, especially for common respiratory complaints such as a runny nose, scratchy throat, and general aches. He points out that these symptoms are typically caused by viruses, against which antibiotics are ineffective, noting that while antivirals exist, they are not commonly prescribed. Despite this, he observes that antibiotics are frequently given for these viral symptoms, highlighting a mismatch between clinical practice and the underlying cause of the illness.
