A possible alternative to antibiotics | |

I got MRSA once, and the only antibiotic I could take I was allergic to. Doctor said it was side effects from the medication, or a slow death. They had nothing else to treat it.

Chop up some cloves and fry it up - tastes good and it works. Antibiotic pills make me feel weird.

Chop up some cloves and fry it up - tastes good and it works. Quoting: Ms. Superduper Antibiotic pills make me feel weird. Well, you can't go out then :) "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

I learned a lot from a group on Facebook called the fluoroquinolone wall of pain.

However, the WHO has repeatedly warned of a growing emergence of bacteria that develop antibiotic resistance. Once antibiotics do no longer protect from bacterial infection, a mere pneumonia might be fatal. Quoting: Face Palmer Alternative therapeutic concepts which lead to the elimination of bacteria, but do not promote resistance are still lacking. A team of international scientists has tested a novel substance, which has been developed by Eduard Babiychuk and Annette Draeger from the Institute of Anatomy, University of Bern in Switzerland. This compound constitutes a novel approach for the treatment of bacterial infections: the scientists engineered artificial nanoparticles made of lipids, "liposomes" that closely resemble the membrane of host cells. These liposomes act as decoys for bacterial toxins and so are able to sequester and neutralize them. Without toxins, the bacteria are rendered defenseless and can be eliminated by the cells of the host's own immune system. Read more at: [link to phys.org] Cool! Nannites! |

If sick though, don't go out anyway. And offer the spouse some of the fried garlic as well. It's yummy and then no one gets offended. Heh. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world.
