Swine flu has taken you by surprise but not for us. We have been expecting this though not so soon.

Since 1989, we have observed a trend in antibiotic resistant bacterial infections spreading in hospital and now in the community.

The present credit crunch and economic instability after major banks tumble results in poverty and unemployment. In the past we have seen people getting ill and are prone to virus infections.

Virus entering your body (like Swine flu virus) wills open door for bacteria to enter because stress & virus infection reduce immunity.

Antibiotic resistant bacterial infection has been rapidly increasing all over the world. CDC estimate 53 million people in the world are already colonized. These bacteria have developed resistant to antiseptics and antibacterial wash. Performing any practical procedure in the hospital is now risky. Bacteria entering blood stream will kill all the white cells in five minutes resulting in over whelming septicemia and death. The major cause of death (five fold increase) during flu epedemic in children, the cause of death was MRSA secondry infections.

We are presenting this video to show how history has a habit of repeating itself. We are finding hard to bring in changes that matter.

  • Antibiotics must be used if you have Bacterial infection. Most bacterial infections do not give raise to very high temperature because the bacteria will relese toxins which will open up your swet pores and you quickly loose heat. Usually these patients feel hot and cold.

    Doctors have been prescribing antibiotic to patients with very high temperature. Unfortunatly there is always a risk you need to take when and when not to take antibiotics.
