gut flora is responsible for 70% of your immune system.....when you take
antibiotics you napalm the whole of your body, the consequences of which
can
be long term.


Wrong. Gut flora is not responsible for the immune system. The bone marrow
is. There are a lot of immune cells around the gut because there is so
much bacteria in your gut. The consequences of not using antibiotics can
be long-term, like death, a limb amputated or hearing loss. It is never a
good idea to take antibiotics if they are not needed, like taking
antibiotics for a cold. As with anything you do, you have to weigh both
the pro and cons of taking antibiotics.

Wrong again.
Blood purity and lack of toxins (orthopathic definition) is what helps the
immune system.
Blood purity can be achieved by proper nutrition and help prevent against
all sorts of microbes, harmful bacteria, fungi and parasites.
You're talking about dumbed-down allopathic medicine ...I'm talking
alternative medicine.


You don't know what you're talking about at all. Alternative medicine is
conjecture-based medicine (con-med) by definition. There is no evidence
for it.
