Chief Scientist: Act Now or Live Through Deadly Post Antibiotic Resistance EraHeather Callaghan In only the latest round of stern warnings about the antibiotic bubble, Australias chief scientist is warning that if something drastic is not done soon, even small issues like sore throats and minor infections could be deadly one day not so far off. There is now a genuine threat of humanity returning to an era where mortality due to common infections is rife, a new report says. It was only in May that the UKs chief medical officer, Dame Sally Davies, sounded an alarm. If we dont take action, in 20 years time we could be back in the 19th century where infections kill us as a result of routine operations. She had said this at a World Health Assembly in Geneva. Beware of urgent warnings we would do well to pay attention to the offered solutions below which are more alarming than the threat. A top-level Australian scientist, Ian Chubb, affirms her warning with the report from his scientists and talks of a deadly post anti-biotics era saying that the miracle of modern drugs are already developing resistance to antibiotics at an alarming pace. We need stronger international partnerships and coalitions so that the threat of AMR [antimicrobial resistance] is fully recognised and the responsibility for reducing it is shared. Davies: But we cant really tackle it unless we get coordinated, international action, which is why were working in partnership to push it up the global political agenda. [emphasis added] Dame Sally says the threat is such that it should be added to the Governments National Risk Register of Civil Emergencies. I think shes right. So does the World Health Organisation, the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Their repeated warnings that antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest threats to human health have culminated in the 1020 challenge to world governments: to find 10 new antibiotics by 2020. From a UK government press release: Discussions focused on the main objectives of the new UK cross-government Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy, to be published in the summer, which include: Sobering stuff that we hardly had any knowledge of or control over until the last 20 years. Where is the hope? What are we to do? Knowledge of these traps is empowering, but what now? Terrain Theory, a vastly different paradigm, holds a lot of empowerment and was allegedly conceded to by Louis Pasteur on his death bed.Amidst a group of physicians and scientists, Claude Bernard (one of the fathers of Terrain) made the statement: The terrain is everything; the germ is nothing, and then drank down a glass of water filled with cholera. (more info) Terrain is more than a healthy immune system and a fascinating study. Its mind, body, spirit, consciousness and inner/outer environment. It means germs are attracted to a disease environment and are more a result than the cause of an issue. Healthy terrain requires alkaline environment, nutrition in and toxins out including stress, toxic emotions/thoughts and negativity. What is Your next course of action?
