In this newsletter, the author claims that patients who are diagnosed with muscle strain should take antibiotics to help healing quickly since the secondary infections which prevent the recuperation might be conquered by this way. Further reflection, however, tells us there are several logical problems involved within this argument, which render it unconvincing.

To begin with, the recommendation is built up on the assumption that secondary infections may prevent patients from healing after severe muscle strain. Yet no evidence has been provided that these secondary infections really exist in the healing process of muscle strain. Even if the first group patients who take antibiotics regularly heal faster than average, it does not demonstrate those patients have secondary infections. Without the firm evidence to prove the assumption, it is unreasonable to conclude that overcoming secondary infections by taking antibiotics regularly will be helpful for recuperation from muscle strain.

Secondly, another question involved within this argument is the reliability of the cited comparison. The author points out the first group patients who take antibiotics regularly heal faster than average, while the second group patients who take sugar pills instead do not perform better than average. However, the argument does not show the other relevant treatment conditions which might affect the recuperation as well. For example, patients’ healthy situations, such as age, sex, disease history and living environment, doctor's treating experience and muscle recuperative training program. Lacking the consideration of the complexity of the disease recuperation, we can not simply conclude it is the antibiotics that accelerate the healing from muscle strain.

In conclusion, the recommendation of taking antibiotics to help recuperation from muscle strain is not well supported. To strengthen it the author should provide more evidence that the secondary infections really exist and block the recuperation. A reliable compare research is also necessary, in which the patients’ healthy conditions, the doctors’ medical level and all the other treatments should maintain the same except the using of antibiotics.
