Several questions arise. Do antibiotics stay active in the chicken’s flesh forever? Do the bacteria strains in the chickens pose a threat to humans? Has any person died from a super bug as a result of eating chicken treated with antibiotics?

The cause of so called “superbugs”s is twofold.....Over prescribing antibiotics by doctors and improper adminstiration and usage by patients.

Every antibiotic, given the ability of bacteria to evolve rapidly to survive, is bound to become ineffective sooner or later. The trick is to ensure a steady stream of new drugs that the resistant microbes have never encountered before. We need medical science to advance more rapidly than the bacteria do.

First: My understanding is that there is a new class of antibiotics on the way. Second: "The trick" is to rotate the use of antibiotics, so as not to keep using the same chemistry everywhere, such that when the superbugs lose their adaptation to any one of them one can go back to the others.

I currently have 2 people (1 family member and a friend) who are fighting for their lives with infections that are not responding to anti-biotics....

I have the family member now on Manuka Honey with a UMF® of (Unique Manuka Factor) of +16, and lots of prayers. I have a jar set aside for my friend for the next time I see him.

I pray this meets or exceeds expectations...

Does anyone remember when Hexachlorophene was banned in the early ‘70s and there was a huge outbreak of strep infections which then became more and more difficult to treat with antibiotics?

A couple more anti-microbials that have been recently banned are Benzalkonium Chloride and now Tricolsan.

Allegedly, these “might” present an environmental hazard, and that’s way more important than mere human beings.

There is an excellent episode of Frontline that deals with this.

The usable lifespan of new antibiotics is now so brief that there is no time for companies to recover the costs of developing these new drugs.
