Superbug discovered in America that resists ALL known antibiotics

chemicalsMike Adams – It’s always interesting to study how civilizations collapse and eras of seemingly great human ingenuity come crashing to an end. Since the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Flemming in 1928, the chemical medicine industry has promised humanity that all our ills will be cured by prescription medications. We’ve been promised that cancer, diabetes, heart disease and even Alzheimer’s will all be cured once the pharmaceutical industry finally discovers the correct chemicals for treatment. But today, we’ve come to realize that Big Pharma’s chemicals aren’t curing us… they’ve just DOOMED us.

Superbugs are antibiotic-resistant bacteria. They’re immune to Big Pharma’s chemicals, in other words, and they come into existence because of the over-prescription of existing antibiotics. If you attack bacteria with chemicals for long enough, the bacteria develop biological immunity to the chemical. It happens automatically, and it’s part of Mother Nature’s survival problem solving at the cellular level. The problem, of course, is that it only takes one mutation to render an entire antibiotic drug obsolete.

As bacteria become more and more resilient to Big Pharma’s toxic chemicals, the medical efficacy of antibiotic drugs collapses, one by one. Big Pharma’s chemicals fall like dominoes, overrun by the molecular ingenuity of Mother Nature. To prevent a “superbug apocalypse,” drug companies and hospitals have kept one chemical in reserve: colistin, a “last ditch defense” against superbugs. This is the drug that’s used when everything else fails… it’s the very last option when a patient is being literally eaten alive by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

4 Major GMO Threats that Endanger Our World Every Day

foodAndre Evans – When genetic engineering was just a frontier science, the possibilities it presented were portrayed as positive and innovative, especially for agriculture. Make crops grow fuller, faster. Eliminate the need for pesticides. Make more food available for bigger populations. However, from its onset, genetic modification has raised questions over the safety of the process and outcome, as well as crossing boundaries of nature and morals. Especially as the experiments become more bizarre.

1. GMOs Contaminating Organics

Bio-engineering companies like Monsanto are now notorious for making and spreading their GMO products in an attempt to subvert organic farmers and monopolize the agriculture industry. When these GMO crops are planted in proximity to normal produce, they can contaminate the organic crops and make them do anything from fail, to destroy their ability to yield seeds, or produce BT bacteria which is meant to act as a pesticide, but does little when the insect populations themselves mutate and develop an immunity to it.

And when normal produce is contaminated in this manner, the company responsible can claim that an independent farmer is using their patented product without permission. This gives independents the choice to either “join or die” with these major biotech companies.

2. GMOs Fueling Superbugs

Meanwhile, this genetic modification has led to weeds and insects in the ecosystem around them developing immunity to the pesticides, and so there are less options to control the increasingly virulent weed and insect populations. Biotech’s solution, though, is to use a greater amount of toxic pesticides and herbicides like Roundup, essentially creating a chemical cocktail that ends up on many people’s dinner plates.

Medical Scopes Spread Superbugs In US Hospitals

SuperbugsHospitalMeasles fear-mongering is all the rage right now, but lesser-publicized reports about deadly superbugs suggest that a much bigger public health threat might be your local hospital. Over the past several years, nearly a dozen patients at Virginia Mason Medical Center (VMMC) in Seattle, Washington, have died, not because they weren’t vaccinated, but because their doctors and nurses exposed them to drug-resistant superbugs via contaminated medical endoscopes.

This ongoing, deadly outbreak, if you will, is being blamed primarily on carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), a difficult-to-treat infection that’s exceptionally virulent due to antibiotic overuse. Eradicating it from healthcare centers and hospitals continues to be a challenge, with patients all across the country contracting it, and some dying from it.

According to reports, the contaminated scopes are supposedly being sanitized in accordance with manufacturer guidelines, suggesting that these cleaning methods aren’t effective. Between 2012 and 2014, 11 of the 32 patients reported to be infected with the deadly bacteria during that time died, hospital and city health officials say, representing a roughly 34 percent mortality rate.

Superbug outbreaks occurring all across the US, with little media attention

Similar outbreaks have occurred in other areas, including in Pittsburgh in 2012 and Chicago in 2014. Contaminated scopes reportedly infected dozens of patients with superbugs during these two incidents, though neither one reported any deaths. Still, the threat of such infections is serious, especially for the immune-compromised who have a much higher risk of mortality. Continue reading

Antibiotic Resistant Superbugs May Claim 10 Million Lives And $100 Trillion By 2050

There is no question that antibiotics have lent a helping hand in treating various ailments, but now this modern medicine is fueling an issue that was perhaps never considered before. Since their introduction, antibiotics have slowly been fueling the development of superbugs – bacteria that are completely resistant to our conventional treatments. In fact, a recently released report says that superbugs could claim 10 million lives each year as well as $100 trillion by 2050.

Economist and head of the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance, Jim O’Neill says that the trend of growing infections resistant to drugs, which are already killing hundreds of thousands of people across the globe every year, is set to get worse unless we do something now.

O’Neill said:

“Drug-resistant infections already kill hundreds of thousands a year globally, and by 2050 that figure could be more than 10 million. The economic cost will also be significant, with the world economy being hit by up to 100 trillion US dollars (£63.6 trillion) by 2050 if we do not take action.

Hospitals – Why It Is More Important Than Ever To Steer Clear Of Them

“. . . there are several conventional procedures that have arguably contributed to the deterioration of many people’s quality of life. Whether it’s chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, antibiotics, prescriptions, or vaccines, all of them carry a significant risk that damages the vitality of the body and sets the path for a declining quality of life.”  – D Henry

cartoon_doctorPatientNaturalNews ~ It may seem obvious that any time is a good time to be well, but it rings even more true now than it did even a couple of decades ago. The threats to our health are continuously growing, and even places that are deemed safe and therapeutic have become contaminated.

So why is it more important than ever to stay out of hospitals?

Conventional medical care is expensive, dangerous, and not natural. If you live in the U.S., you have the most expensive health care in the world, and unfortunately, it also ranks dead last in quality of care among industrialized countries. In fact, the U.S. spends more money than the 10 biggest spenders combined! In simple terms, the U.S. medical system is extremely bloated and about to explode.

If that is not insulting enough, recent research reveals 210,000 lives are lost each year by preventable hospital errors! If you choose to include diagnostic errors, failure to follow proper guidelines, and omission errors, the number climbs to 440,000 preventable deaths each year! Turns out that these errors are the third leading cause of death in the U.S., immediately after heart disease and cancer. Continue reading
