When We Lose Antibiotics, Here’s Everything Else We’ll Lose Too

[mother earth]

36. I never said traditional medicine was of no value or should be abandoned. I do believe naturopathy

can be and is quite successfully incorporated into traditional practice. Dr. Atkins is one famous physician who did so and wrote books about it, he is not alone.

I'm not getting into a contest with any of you arguing points on traditional vs. alternative, that could go on endlessly. There are many doctors using these methods, they work, they are based on science, not voodoo.

We've got a problem with antibiotics that is man-made, the basis of which I have already commented on. You can spit on natural medicine all you want. I'm not bent on convincing you of its value. I don't have to, its value is not in question, there's plenty of documented proof, books, etc.

I never said anything about colloidal silver and have no knowledge of its effectiveness.

Antibiotics are valuable, BUT they have been and are abused, for profit, which is why the OP is being discussed.

My contested comment is that we need MORE research and promotion of natural medicine, there is much to be gained from
doing so, because traditional medicine fails us at times, and this issue with resistance is a prime example.
