This is an issue which is a real danger. But not only does it mean we may be getting incurable infections from scratches and childhood injuries, it has a political component too. It is the apocolypse for progressivism. The sexual revolution rode a wave of antibiotic progress in sexually transmitted diseases. While activists and now historians throw around words like "patriarchy," "sexism", or "homophobia," they fail to explain that the traditional world existed the way it did for perfectly rational reasons. Some of those reasons were to avoid diseases. Now society has been rewritten because of these drugs, but they are losing effectiveness. This will cause us to reconsider our traditional morality if nature continues to win.

What an annoyance. And this time, its effects wont just be limited to drug users, sexual deviants, and unlucky blood transfusion recipients, etc.

Yawn...
Anyone alarmed by the failure of antibiotics simply isn’t educated on phages.

I remember this was first talked about in thr early 1970’s where if the overuse/misuse of antibiotics were not stopped, we could end up in such a crisis they are talking about now. We might have to return to using sulfa-drugs and other earlier means to control (or try to) infections. Back in 2003, my hand was infected with a bad case of strep as a result of a cut an they used a lot of superantibiotics on me, along with surgery, but I came close to losing my left hand or part of it.

I have told people for 20 years that anti-biotics should be controlled substances, like opiates, but stricter, with fines for non-completion of course, and prison sentences for improper disposal.

Most bacterial infections can be killed by eating well and cleaning everything within reach with soap and water. Wiping the counters with vinegar, putting the vegetables in water with some hydrogen peroxide before they are served, clean the door handles, light switches, faucet handles, steering wheel, car door handles, wipe the shopping cart handle before your grab it, clean everything within reach so you don't keep reinfecting yourself. Wash your hands, hair and pillow case every day if there is a resistant bacteria in your house.

My veterinarian was the one who convinced me to add hydrogen peroxide to the cattle water troughs. It cured a serious cough for about 40 head that would have cost me hundreds of dollars in drugs and time.

soap water and vinegar are my staples, too. And iodine for cuts.

I’ve never abused antibiotics. Last year I acquired a rare staph infection after hip replacement and was put on a pic line of 5 infusions a day for six weeks. That chit killed everything, good and bad. I lost 25 lbs. With probiotics and healthy eating I got my strength back. Thank God! Antibiotics still work, for me.

Phage therapy was, and still is a mostly Russian method of treatment.
The few times it has been tested in the US or Canada it has not been shown to be particularly useful.
That is not to say that it should be ignored as completely non-effective. My suggestion would be that some pharmaceutical company should pick up where the Russians and the French left off and test these thing either to success or destruction. Either big pharma or a small biotech industry stands to make a lot of money if phage therapy is successful. One thing we all need to remember is that there is a bacteria-phage for just about every known bacteria on earth.

To: Viennacon
Those with compromised immune systems because of AIDs had to use antibiotics to stay alive. The antibiotics became a substitute for a normal immune system. This set the stage for the bacteria to develop immunities against the drugs used to control them. The immune compromised people had no immune system to destroy the harmful bacteria. They became living petri dishes to cultivate bacteria that evolve into drug resistant bacteria. Then they become carriers of that drug resistant bacteria as they die from its effects.

I think I heard that before antibiotics they used heavy metal compounds with silver, arsenic, gold to treat disease.

That sounds like too much work. It is way much easier to just swallow a few anti-biotic pills.
