1. Hopefully it proves to work

As long as they don't over prescribe it....

2. People need to STOP demanding antibiotics for EVERYTHING!!!

Doctors also need to be reviewed and lose their licenses to practice if they are found guilty of prescribing antibiotics for viral infections. Just because you feel bad and need to see a doctor, you DO NOT NEED AN ANTIBIOTIC!!!!

Overuse, misuse and incorrect prescriptions have nearly moved humanity back to a world without effective antibiotics and that means a world without safe surgery!!! It means kids dying after a scraped knee or cut finger... It means potentially BILLIONS of preventable deaths...

The situation is CRITICAL ... please, please, please do not take my word for it (even though I have spent my life working in Microbiology and antibiotic research, development and production)...EDUCATE yourself and talk to your friends and neighbors to save a life, one day it might just be your own...
