Scientists around the world, along with numerous organizations, including the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization, have said that if we do not significantly reduce antibiotic use in humans and animals, these wonder drugs will soon lose their effectiveness.
You are probably well aware of the risks of over using and abusing prescription drugs and more importantly, antibiotics. A growing number of people have developed a resistance to the synthetic compounds in conventional synthetic antibiotics which can turn even the most basic of colds into a life threatening infection.
Superbugs do not stay on culture plates -- they spread between livestock and people, between hospitals and the community, and from nation to nation -- but the stakeholders in this antibiotic industry are misleading us about the cause and prevention of antibiotic resistance, and this prevents progress at a time when it's most needed.
Action is needed from all stakeholders -- government leaders, the scientific community, the pharmaceutical industry, the agricultural industry and the general public -- to address this global threat.
Some say that the fault lies with doctors who all too frequently rely on these “wonder” pills to solve any and all ailments – a temporary and volatile remedy. Others blame the poor practice of pharmaceutical companies looking to produce a low cost pill for high profits with no stringent regulations.
The truth is that both doctors and pharmaceutical companies have financial interest in the popularity of antibiotics, and regardless of health risks, will push them on the public (and livestock) to insure demand stays profitable.
How can we escape this culture of chemical care? The answer is easier and more effective than any synthetic pill and can be made right in your own home.
