    Yeah! You'll basically be a super hero! I don't think you'd be able to die if you took them all at once! You could be immortal and live forever!

    well besides that comment exposing how much you know.....your immune function starts in your gut, and the gut is a balance of good and bad bacteria, you would be killing off all the bacteria and screwing up your immune function to a point where it may never fully recover....worst Idea I ever heard of. ANYWAYS, be sure to balance out the correct round of antibiotics with similar if not greater round of probiotics to keep your gut in balance, then find out how much probiotics to take regulaly as it doesn't last too long and normally food would do that, but modern foods and life don't look out for probiotics in your diet [ BUT YOU NEED TOO KEEP A LOOK OUT ]

    when you are born, you are born with bifidus and acidophilous in your gut, but it never lasts as the foods we eat don't contain them, and then the balance in the gut goes to the bad side and can go out of control if you lack awareness, then you add weight.....farmers shoot up cows with antibiotics and feed them grain to fatten them up, the same thing happens to people, but not many know........unless they read this !

    Antibiotics don't affect your immune system. Antibiotics are chemicals that when circulate through the body and destroy any and all bacteria they find, including the bacteria in your digestive system essential for digestion and nutrient absorption. however antibiotics for potential life threatening conditions are necessary, when taken in moderation. and as far as renal failure goes, that is a big issue. if you take a whole prescription your kidneys and such wont be able to process that many foreign chemicals and they would be destroyed by it. Also you could destroy all the bacteria in your body essential to different functions as digestion and nutrient absorption so another chance is that you could dehydrate and starve to death no matter how much you eat or drink because youll have no good bateria to process the food so you wont absorb nutrients like your supposed to. bateria and all living things have a symbiotic relationship. they rely on us to survive, just as we rely on them. we only rely on certain types though like Lactobacillus in our digestive system which helps ferment indigestible carbohydrates and supports the breakdown of sugars in dairy products, which are a common source of food sensitivities. Other bacteria are more like parasites and drain the resources in your body to benefit themselves. Also the more frequently you use antibiotics the more likely the bacteria are going to become resistant to it therefore that antibiotic wont affect the bacteria and then theirs no way to get rid of the bad stuff. Also antibiotics have no effect on viruses whatsoever so taking an antibiotic for the flu would just be like pissing in the wind and you'd end up with major diarrhea, malnutrition, and dehydration because all the beneficial bacteria in your digestive system would be gone.

    No . It weakens your immune system.

    Not at all.

    A prescription regimen has to be taken over time, to give your body time to heal.

    The antibiotic has zero impact on your "immune system". The answer is no and it is a foolish idea.

  • 4 years ago

    No, so don't do this. Take any antibiotics as prescribed. In fact and over time, if you take too many antibiotics they may not work when needed, which is why they shouldn't be prescribed unless it's a necessity.

    Do not do this.
