EU sounds cry of alarm over resistance to antibiotics

Perhaps antibiotics should not be used to fatten livestock.

Antibiotics should not be used to enable dairies' use of the hormone rBST to artificially boost milk production. When cows are given this to boost production, this form of poison farming spreads where legal and drives out wholesome production in a flood of bovine hormone tainted products. In some states like Michigan and Indiana, it is illegal for its citizens to tell the public that the hormone is in their milk and other dairy products, a law lobbied into place by the drug industry. These hormones are known to decrease the immune systems of all that consume them. That may include human second hand consumers who eagerly lap up the milk in those states whilst totally ignorant of the risks put upon them by greedy drug purveyors and the farmers who buy those drugs to enable them to drive out their competitors. As such, foreigners who would seek to harm us in biological war would probably target those states first to gain maximum death rate.

Why not use Penicillin it cured everything in the mid 1900s. Oh wait, we nuked that drug. There needs to be some serious funding for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Do not forget that some physicians giving out antibiotics for the wrong reasons have induced this microbial resistance. The lack of research is due to the lack of profit in antibiotic distribution. It is relatively cheap when compared to drugs for chronic diseases. Follow the money.
