I’m sure the radiation from the nuclear war will take care of those nasty bugs. So don’t worry.
According to a recent report, drug-resistant infections are set to skyrocket and they could cost the global economy as much as $100 trillion by 2050. Many diseases are growing increasingly resistant to the drugs used to treat them and the report notes that a new strain of E. coli has emerged that is immune to the previous class of antibiotics used to treat it successfully. Worse still, drug-resistant infections will kill more people than cancer in just over three decades. By 2050, ten million people are set to lose their lives every year unnecessarily unless drastic action is taken to tackle the problem.
You will find more statistics at Statista
It is always a race between the Drugs and the Bugs. You can introduce an antibiotic into a hospital and, as predictable as fed.gov corruption, you will see resistance emerge in about 3 months time.
Here’s The Doom: Big Pharma is devoting less and less $$ to antibiotic drug development because there is no long term market for antibiotics, like there is for blood pressure or cholesterol meds, so it is very difficulty to recoup R & D costs (plus the 1/3 of sales that is put aside for law suits).
My advice?
Wash your hands, alot. Stock up on alcohol hand gel, N95 masks, gloves. Stay out of hospitals/ERs as much as possible.
Pray.
Cuz Nature always bats lasts, always.
You might think its kinda like, Biblical, or something….

a little good news on the antibiotic front
but it looks like it will be some years before this is commercially available
From a Pile of Dirt, Hope for a Powerful New Antibiotic
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/08/health/from-a-pile-of-dirt-hope-for-a-powerful-new-antibiotic.html?smid=nytcore-ipad-share&smprod=nytcore-ipad&_r=0
this is not a shocker. The overuse and abuse of antibiotics not only as prescription meds but in cattle feed has led to this problem. That and the average American’s absolute refusal to take charge of their own health. Plummeting vitamin D levels, lack of sleep and exercise, crappy food, and isolation through social media have taken their toll.
We all need to be responsible for our own health, and this includes eating right and using natural alternatives to antibiotics.
Honey has been shown to kill MERSA. Garlic can cure fungal infections. Simple hand-washing and not touching your face and eyes. Adequate sleep, food, and rest. Common sense things but I think that says it all.
Colloidal silver will kill many bacteria and doesn’t cause the bacteria to become resistant so you don’t have to worry about restricting use. Big pharma doesn’t want you to know about it because they can’t patent it and make money off of it. You can even make it yourself at home.
anti = against
BIOtic = life
antibiotic = anti-life !!!
Sure, I’ve taken antibiotics … such as after oral surgery, or when I sliced up my thumb. But, such occasions are RARE, and over a SHORT duration. Antibiotics more often than not do not distinguish between good bacteria vs bad bacteria … they kill ’em all.
The immune system begins in the gut. People should focus on PRObiotics … best achieved via fermentation. Billions and billions of GOOD bacteria, that’s what you need. Antibiotics eat shit.
That’s all I have to say about that. I’m tired of pissing up a rope.
The chart in the article shows about 23 million deaths …. in 2050. pfft. What is the expected population in 2050?
I’m guessing that 23m deaths as a PERCENTAGE of the total population is no greater than any other period of human history, and may even be less.

The elites gave us a clue with the Georgia Guides Stones decades ago. Maintain population at 500 million is top of the list , written in 8 languages. They look alot like Stonehenge.
So, delete 23 million and in 2050 you would have 477 million. Check out the guide stones down near Elberton, GA sometime.
Good points from Hope, Araven, Stucky….
You can take it up more than a notch or two with this book and some minor skills in formulation. link:
And, yes, these do work. And, yes, they are about your only best hope left. Cash flow from ED and other drugs far trump that from antibiotics. And docs still over-use the latter.
“Perfessor” is from my days teaching Medical Micro to undergrads, grads and med students. Just noting that between that and 5 years hospital work, I have some familiarity with the street reality here.

Welcome O Learned One! I for one only use natural medicine and have only made one trip to a doctor in the last 25 years. Would not have gone then but I was in Podunk, TN and was unable to find a store that carried colloidal silver. Looking forward to your posts. Bea
Bea –
I hate to disappoint you but you won’t find me posting much. I tend not to have “opinions” as I favor data instead.
Only have dropped into three threads, I think. One on Ebola (pissed off Stucky for some odd reason), one on Peak Oil (pissed off SSS for my smallness of thought as I remember) and now this one.
I spend most of my “professional life” at the moment in conflict resolution – which is more than enough poo-flinging for this monkey.
The rest of the time is on getting my life and a few others buttoned down and of increased resilience.
When/if I drop in again, it is just a public service announcement like the above.
Thanks though!

I just read an article last night about a new antibiotic derived from “stuff” secreted by bacteria that kills bad bacteria by targeting fat in the cell walls. Most other antibiotics attack proteins. The other neat thing was that they are deliberately trying to develop bacteria that is resistant to it but it seems to be resistant to becoming resistant.
IS –
You were reading about ‘teixobactin’ which Satori referenced. A few points to note:
a. Resistance is not very easy to test in lab conditions. The true test happens in the wild where different bacterial strains get the opportunity to swap genetic information.
b. The speed of transference of resistance has been happening at ever-expanding speed. There’s no guarantee that this will not be an exception but odds are against. A similar mode-of-action drug, vancomycin, is being touted as the “model” for long-term stability of effectiveness. I don’t buy it. Vancomycin resistance started in 1997 – – about the same time that the rise in resistance of multiple bugs to multiple drugs started to go exponential.
c. Because of the mode of action, this drug may never see the market. The toxic side-effects may make the side-effects too great of a risk especially with respect to kidneys and perhaps the liver.
d. And, because of “c”, even if it passes testing you probably won’t find it on the market for maybe 7 years.
Not trying to bust your chops, just noting some harsh realities.

I just dropped a piece of steak on the floor. Dogs lunged. Beat em to it.
Fuck you bacteria!

Yeh, they are like that, don’t let it stop you from posting. We butt heads and then have a beer, forget about it, and do it again. =) A fucked up form of govt, capitalism and communality.
