The coming plague will not be stopped by drugs: CDC now admits era of antibiotics at an end as bacteria out-wit drug companies

Tags: superbugs, antibiotics, coming plague

(NaturalNews) In a breakthrough moment of truth for the CDC, the agency now openly admits that prescription antibiotics have led to a catastrophic rise in superbugs, causing the death of at least 23,000 Americans each year (an estimate even the CDC calls "conservative").

This is the conclusion of the CDC's new Threat Report 2013, a document that for the first time quantifies the number of fatalities happening in America due to antibiotic-resistant superbugs.

What's truly astonishing about this report is that it admits, in effect, that modern medicine is a failure when it comes to infectious disease. The whole approach of fighting bugs with isolated chemicals was doomed to fail from the start, of course, since Mother Nature adapts to chemical threats far more quickly than drug companies can roll out new chemicals.

Sadly, the very approach of using an isolated chemical to combat disease is rooted in a 1950's mentality that has nearly reached its endpoint in the history of medicine. The CDC all but admits this now, saying the era of antibiotics is nearing its end. "If we are not careful, we will soon be in a post-antibiotic era" - Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the CDC.

The admission should send alarm bells ringing across the medical establishment. Because what it really means is the day isn't too far off when doctors and hospitals can no longer offer treatments for common infections.

The rise of alternative medicine... again!

Western doctors, of course, are wildly ignorant of far more effective ways to treat infections. Because of the profit interests in patented antibiotic chemicals, doctors have never been taught how to use herbal antibiotics to which there is virtually no resistance whatsoever.

Doctors have also never been informed of the powerful antibiotic properties of silver, copper, aloe vera gel, garlic (and sulfur compounds), Chinese medicine herbs and many other bacteria-fighting substances from the natural world.

As a result, the day is soon coming when doctors will send patients home to die, not knowing that real cures for their infections already exist and are readily available from the world of natural medicine. That's the real cost of the failure of western medicine: countless numbers of victims will suffer and die due to the incredible ignorance of doctors and their foolish reliance on a system of chemicals that has failed humankind.

Our epitaph [as a species] may well read: "They died of a peculiar strain of reductionism, complicated by a sudden attack of elitism, even though there were ready natural cures close at hand." - Gary Paul Nabhan, author, Cultures of Habitat

Here at Natural News, I estimate that due to the disastrous failure of antibiotics combined with the widespread suppression of human immune function (due to drugs, heavy metals, environmental chemicals and more), superbug deaths will quickly accelerate, reaching 100,000 deaths per year by 2020, nearly rivaling the number of Americans already killed each year by FDA-approved prescription medications.

The top three superbug threats

According to the CDC, the top three superbug threats right now are:

• Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or CRE (9,000 annual infections, 600 annual deaths)

• Antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea (246,000 infections per year, now only one drug left to treat it)

• Clostridium difficile (250,000 infections per year, 14,000 deaths)

In all, these three superbugs combined with others cause 23,000 total deaths per year in the United States alone, says the CDC.

The CDC, predictably, also says part of the solution is to get more people vaccinated. This makes no sense whatsoever as vaccines only make immune systems weaker while doing nothing to prevent infections of superbugs.

On the positive side, the CDC did say that antibiotic use should be curbed in agriculture (meaning fed to animals for meat production). In truth, more antibiotics are used each year in agriculture than in humans.

CDC still clings to futile hope of failed drug model

Despite having the ability to now see the problem at hand, the CDC still desperately clings to the futile hope that "yet another chemical" will be developed that solves the superbug problem.

This is an exercise in insanity, as you might have guessed, because whatever new chemical the drug companies come up with -- and they've mostly stopped even bothering with new research into antibiotics -- will quickly be rendered useless by microbiological adaptations.

The inconvenient truth about all this is that the CDC will never solve this problem with the same kind of thinking that caused the problem. The never-ending chase for more chemicals is futile. Patented drugs will never conquer drug-resistant bacteria, period. It doesn't matter how many federal subsidies are dumped into drug research.

So what will work, then? For starters, probiotics offer a solid defense against drug-resistant gut bacteria. So the first thing everyone should be doing to shield themselves from deadly infections is to consume probiotics on a regular basis.

Secondly, antibiotics themselves create an "intestinal wasteland" that's ripe for infection with deadly drug-resistant strains. So the very use of antibiotics in a patient is something that needs to be far more comprehensively taught to doctors and explained to patients so that the real risks of antibiotics are more widely understood (and avoided).

Ultimately, the use of antibiotics needs to be sharply limited. There are still cases in which limited, targeted use of antibiotics is a real lifesaver, but the widespread abuse of antibiotics is what has led our medical system to the brink of collapse when it comes to deadly superbugs.

Superbugs and superweeds

Thanks to the widespread use of glyphosate with GMOs in agriculture, farms are now suffering from runaway "superweeds" that pose many of the same problems as superbug infections in humans.

Both problems are caused by the widespread abuse of isolated chemicals, sold by profiteering corporations with complete disregard for the long-term consequences of their products.

Both problems are almost universally swept under the rug by the corporations that gave rise to the problems in the first place.

And both problems are promised to be solved with "yet more chemicals" that overcome the resistance to the previous round of chemicals.

There's a fatal problem with this: each round of chemicals needs to be substantially more toxic than the last round, causing a "spiral of chemical toxicity" that will only lead human civilization to its own destruction.

Even right now, we are very close to the rise of a highly infectious superbug that is resistant to all known antibiotics. Once unleashed, such a superbug could sweet through the population and cause the death of over a billion people across the planet. In such a scenario, the entire system of western medicine has zero tools to deal with it. There is no vaccine, no drug and no FDA-approved treatment that will even touch it.

Familiarize yourself with these systemic herbal antibiotics

Survivors of the inevitable superbug pandemic will be those who turn to Mother Nature and natural remedies. That why I recommend every person reading this pick up at least one book on herbal antibiotics and keep it on your shelf in case of an emergency outbreak.

The most comprehensive book on this subject that I've yet found is called Herbal Antibiotics, 2nd Edition: Natural Alternatives for Treating Drug-resistant Bacteria. I highly recommend this book. It is meticulously researched and comprehensive in its coverage of the subject. It is also quite technical, so be prepared for that if you're not used to reading technical papers or books.

In the coming superbug plague, the drug companies will be useless. Your doctor will be useless. Hospitals will be disease-infested death traps. The CDC will be paralyzed with bureaucracy and hopelessly stuck in the era of chemical medicine. Only people who possess the nearly-lost knowledge of natural plant-based antibiotics will have any real chance of surviving such an outbreak if they become infected.

If you have net yet heard the plant name Cryptolepis, you need to familiarize yourself with it. This is a systemic antibiotic with a multitude of uses and physiological actions. Others include Sida, Alchornea and Artemisia (wordwood). Learn these herbs and learn how they work in the human body. Your life may depend on it, and once the superbug plague spreads, these plants may be worth more, ounce for ounce, than gold.

In fact, I was thinking it would be a phenomenal product to offer to the world: a collection of antibiotic plant seeds along with instructions for their cultivation and use. If anyone reading this has such a product to offer, feel free to contact us. Perhaps we can distribute or retail your product to get it into the hands of a large number of people who can keep these plants thriving while the era of synthetic chemical medicine collapses into history.

The only source of any of this I've found are conspiracy sites like David Icke.

I heard he romanced an alien once back in the 70s and now he's trying to get revenge.

This is what happens when you prescribe antibiotics for every sniffle and scraped knee, and when you pump livestock full of them so you can cram them together closer and force them to live in their own filth.

This is also what happens when you allow HMO's to selectively decide which medicines they will or wont cover (and the govt has been no better with medicare). Pharma companies started spending half their budget on marketing so they could bypass the doctor and go straight to the patient (who then would demand the drugs from their doctor). That money used to be spent on R&D for new drugs. Now the only new drugs developed are for monetarily rewarding conditions.

There is no conspiracy here, just bad medicine, bad policy, and bad animal husbandry.

Not saying it isn't bad policy. I myself tend to avoid taking certain medicines unless I absolutey can't stnad to go without.

The biggest problem is doctors have given antibiotics to remedy viruses. I work in a pharmacy and I see it all the time. They have a cold, and they're given Cipro. Yeah, that's a great idea! People are hypochondriacs a lot of the time. I'm coughing up a storm over here, but I'm not going to go get a Z-Pack. I love medicine, it's what I'm going into, but this country is way too dependent on pharmaceuticals.

As a country and a social beings always evoling in everchanging ways, we will always experience death and sickness. We left our perfect bodies when we sinned. Death is the result of that. I think that we will be able to find a way to get rid of superbugs. Like we learned how to manage and treat smallpox, measeals, etc. (This is an example of how we will be able to tackle it, i know some of these diases are still around most of them are controlled and hard to get, unless you vacinate. Which is another topic..)
Well that is my two cents.

Antibiotics are bad news and should only be used when absolutely necessary. This isn't a conspiracy theory, this is a health risk. The body does the best job of healing itself but it needs to be respected and looked after properly.

Yes Hizikyah, it's true that antibiotic resistant strains now exist. Most antibiotic strains are partially antibiotic resistant meaning newer antibiotics work on them; however, there are a very few strains now that are totally antibiotic resistant. This, as you point out, is very bad. Probably the worst is a totally resistant strain of tuberculosis. No known cure.

If that bug gets out, forget about it. It will be like cowboy days in the 18th century when people caught tuberculosis and withered away without a cure. Anyone on immune suppressive drugs, like for arthritis or psoriasis, are dead if they catch it. 100% dead.

But these strains didn't come about because people followed their antibiotic prescriptions properly. They came about because people didn't. You need to understand, if you don't already, that they sell antibiotics over the counter in India and other parts of the world. You can walk in and buy any kind of antibiotic you want in these places as easily as buying a pack of gum. No prescription needed. As a result, people take the antibiotics for a few days and then stop. The result is resistant strains.

The third world basically is destroying one of the best things we have in the world: antibiotics.

Most modern medicine actually does more bad than good. Not sure why it's called health care, it's pretty much the complete opposite. Think about all the dangerous, foreign ingredients that go into medicines. They're not natural, they're not healthy, they're bad news.

I't doesn't even just end with antibiotics, it is also using antibacterial soaps.The antibacterial soaps are no good, they are also helping to breed stronger more resistant germs.They also pollute the water.The antibiotics are a big part of are problem and there are others as well.

This is very true too, but even in first world nations this is common practice due to the livestock route. We pump so many animals full of antibiotics just to keep them healthier for slaughter we've created resistant strains here in the US (IIRC many parts of Europe have banned that practice and the USA and Canada are the hold outs). I read a study (which I do not completely trust so I won't link to it) of random samples of poultry collected from US grocery stores. 60-80 percent of them were infected with antibiotic resistant strains of salmonella.

And then there is the over use of cleaning agents. Studies I've read indicate that even non antibiotic cleaning agents can contribute to antibiotic resistance if they are of certain strong chemical status. And we actually put a lot of antibiotics in cleaning agents. Triclosan was an antimicrobial agent originally used topically in surgical scrubs. Now it's in half of the "soap" you buy at the store for your bathroom, and the face scrubs etc. Triclosan use creates resistant bacteria.

So if you catch a form of tuberculosis that can be treated with antibiotics, not taking the antibiotics is the way to go? You have only a 5% chance of survival if you don't take the antibiotic treatment for six months.

There are many examples when taking the antibiotic prevents you from losing a limb or your life. How does losing a limb or your life qualify as better than not taking an antibiotic?

If you're walking around without a leg or an arm or dead, how is this healthier than taking an antibiotic to keep your limb and/or life?

Also, artificial antibiotics kill good bacteria in the body.
And that creates great systemic disorders in the body.
Artificial antibiotics should be avoided at all cost.

A healthy life spiritually and physically is the best way to go.

Sir, I understand what you are trying to say, but I disagree.

" Modern " allopathic medicine is not the only way to go.

There's also other ways, but they're extremely unpopular to big pharma,
and they are often scoffed and ridiculed by medicine " experts ".

The first other way I'm thinking about and is totally ridiculed by most medicine " experts " is...Jesus !

Yes, Jesus is alive in Heaven and He can heal any disease or handicap , no matter how bad it is !

The second other way is natural healing, but it's much more complicated,
and it does not heal everything.

I say, we should find heavenly ways to communicate directly with Jesus
so that He could heal any of our spiritual and physical sicknesses !

Jesus is the True Medicine Expert of all times, for He is our Creator !

Oh, you! See my first post. I believe antibiotics should only be used when they're absolutely necessary. Your above example is one of these. :)

Until you're in a position where you deform into a cripple without it, begin to die, or have some terrible condition getting much worse AFTER religiously trying all of the Christian healing and natural allopathic medicine you'll never understand. Those things are good and they do work to the extent they work but not everyone gets healed and there are many conditions that allopathic medicine cannot cure nor control. But you're entitled to your opinion even when it's wrong. So carry on if you like.

TB is such a threat to people on the biologics for auto-immune diseases, you cannot go on them without first being tested and then being given a clean bill of health.

I have RA, came up clean for TB, and have been poisoning my body with biologics ever since. I wish I had an alternative.

A friend of mine got tested to start her biologic and she had inactive TB, probably got it on a missions trip to Mexico, to work with orphans. She opted not to do the 2 year TB cure, and not to do the biologic. I would love to do that, but I can't get out of bed or dress myself without my cancer drugs (the autoimmune drugs are all used for cancer!)

I was just thinking today I have been on these drugs for 10 years, and many years to come. I am in a long term heart study for RA, and I am the only one in the group who does not have heart issues. Mind you, I push myself to ride my bike summer and winter.

I think exercise is sorely lacking in our whole culture, except for people who seem to want to overdo it. I am convinced that exercise has kept the worst side effects of both the drugs and the disease away. God created our bodies to do work, and when you don't live that way, you end up with the consequences - a shorter life span.

So how do you feel about illegal immigrants freely entering the U.S. with diseases like TB given that they are putting your life at risk?

Illegals bringing drug-resistant TB to U.S.
