My lovely wife the RN says tis is the biggest deal them all. Antibiotics are getting less effective all the time—she says because of over use.

I take this as another fear baiting article. The human race is/ has been very resilient over the past 4,000 years…..that said, ask your wife of the hundreds of years use of colloidal silver for treating all bacterial, viral and fungus infections….can be made at home and has been used most notably by our early America settlers…it is banned by our EPA but used by NASA, medical burn units, dentists and outstanding results for herpes, hepatitis, and much more.I have used it for twenty years, and at age 62 have not been to a doctor since 2002…..( except for stitches x 3, concussion x 2, appendix removal, and a few blunt trauma incidents)….

There are no “world leaders”.

There are only wannabe Napoleons and Stalins bent on global conquest.

I think 1940-2040 will be seen as the “Golden Age” of antibiotics.

By 2040 any lethal microbe will have developed resistance to all the antibiotics.

By then antibiotics will be replaced by immune enhancing drugs..e.g. genetically engineered

“So what can we do about it?”

Go outside and play in the dirt! Quit washing your hands every ten minutes! Quit using antibacterial soap that kills everything including the HEALTHY stuff on your skin!

Lay off the hand sanitizer.

Don’t shower every single day, unless you tar roads for a living. Get over your germaphobia. ;)

And, TURN OFF YOUR TV! :)

One problem is that the current system does not give the pharma companies much incentive to develop new antibiotics.

A new antibiotic needs to be kept in reserve and only used as a last resort when all others have failed. Otherwise it too will see resistance develop.

If a company is paid by the dose, they don’t have much incentive to spend a billion dollars on a drug designed to be used so rarely.

Arnold Schwarzenegger says he always prepares his food before washing his hands after a gym visit.

And never gets sick.
