Antibiotics No Longer Work

Antibiotics no longer work

For some time now we have been hearing that antibiotics have lost their power to heal infections.  It is therefore imperative that other methods of treating these infections are found.

Perhaps it is time we reverted back to natural remedies.  It is said that for every ailment, there is a herb out there which I am sure is how nature has intended.

In this article are a few situations that can help us use the right concoction for first aid at least.

Antibiotic Resistance — What Promotes It, and How Can We Beat It?

Deadliere Than Heart Disease

 This article makes alarming reading.  Nevertheless, it's important to be aware of the dangers of Antibiotics Resistance as we can already see evidence of this fact:

• Prior to antibiotics, half of the world’s population died from infections. This is the reality we now face yet again, unless we somehow manage to get antibiotic resistance under control
• Bacteria are incredibly adaptable, capable of sharing genetic material through proximity alone. If they’re close enough, gene packages can rapidly transfer between different bacteria
• Bacteriophages, a type of virus, are a natural predator of bacteria, capable of killing bacteria that antibiotics cannot. Phage therapy is now being explored as a potential alternative to conventional antibiotics

Important information for the future of antibiotic resistance.

  
By 2050, antibiotic resistance is estimated to kill 10 million people annually, worldwide. At present, at least 23,000 Americans die as a direct result of an antibiotic-resistant infection each year

• The routine use of antibiotics in livestock is a major driver of drug-resistance. Commonly used herbicides also promote antibiotic resistance by priming pathogens to more readily become resistant to antibiotics
• DNA from antibiotic-resistant bacteria found in cattle yards are also airborne; in addition to contaminated water and meat, this is yet another route of exposure for animals and humans alike
