I'd like to preface my comments with the fact that I take great interest in this subject matter.
The microbiome will likely be considered the largest organ in the body, and the scientific community is only beginning to scratch the surface of the severely understated and even more underappreciated contrabution of the intestinal microbiome "gut".

Having said that, the indiscriminate destruction that antibiotics wreak on the microbiome is universally understated. This should be obvious to the medical industry, and I find it suspicious that it is not more fully investigated.
