Did you know that they used to deliberately infect people with malaria as a cure for syphilis.

I don't pop pills, never have done, my thinking is that your body builds up a resistance to anything you stick in it that it hasn't created itself. I will not take a pain-killer for the slightest ache when I could just live through it in the hope that when I am in serious need of a pain-killer, it will actually work on me.

When it comes to antibiotics, it appears that the rest of the world has conspired against me.

Every visit to a Thai hospital, they all walk out with a big bag of medicine, most of which has absolutely nothing to do with the condition they went in with, it actually does make me angry, their lack of knowledge or just downright apathy is screwing with my life.

One extremely sad thing is that antiB's are abused so badly these days.
Many people stop taking them when symptoms clear up and the bacteria
causing the symptoms is not yet killed off. Another item that really
p**ses me off is the marketing of fake med's. The people who manufacture
and market the fakes should be imprisoned for murder...or simply shot.

Oddly enough there is a certain strain of malaria in NW Cambodia and the
only treatment for it is doxycycline aka Vibramycin. Still unsure exactly
how it kills off the parasite but educated guesses points to the parasites
reproductive cycle and the breaking down of cell structures within said
cycle. Or so a CDC research person once told me.

Scary stuff abounds with bacteria these days which are not only resistant
to antiB's we have but literally eat the antiB's for snacks. Google
"Antibiotic resistant bacteria" for info if you so desire.

Mind you there is hope out there..somewhere in deepest darkest Africa...
no kidding. A new natural antiB, one that no bacteria has a resistance
to may have been found in the soil of a certain place in a certain
African nation. Google for more info any way you want on this as it is
a hard find. Plus I understand why further info may be kept off the web
for heaps of reasons....$$$$$$ being just one.

Nowadays there's all this antiB stuff everywhere you look...bath soaps,
laundry soaps, dish soaps, air fresheners etc...etc....the list is quite
endless. And all this antiB stuff doesn't come with a doctors warning.
Many doctors agree that the antiB craze these days will make the human
race prone to infections that will easily kill us off since our bodies
may eventually loose the ability to fight off a simple infection...say
one that is very localised...like from a tiny spliter in a finger.
That's scary eh?

We need a little dirt in our lives...for our health. And we need to
curb or stop the planets population growth...or do we?

"We are a plague on the Earth, it's coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so.
Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the
natural world is doing it for us right now." ____David Attenborough
