Re: Use of Penicillin

[Guest guest]

Everyone,

I believe the product that and Sandy have referred to

on this list is penicillin-based. My apologies if I am in error, but let

me weigh in with my $.02 on the overuse of penicillin. . My Mom was a

pharmacist and had a great concern for the overuse of drugs, particularly

antibiotics. When a dermatologist wanted to put me on tetracycline for acne

when I was a teenager, she said no. I was rather upset because I didn't

want pimples. She told us back then that the body builds resistance to

antibiotics with each use and they should therefore be used sparingly for

genuine illnesses. I'm working on a CD-ROM on national security right now.

I'm researching biochemical weapons (used to be known as " germ warfare. " )

I'm reading interesting things about viruses and bacteria. Bacteria can

replicate every 20 minutes, which makes them tremendous candidates for

mutation. One of the things that triggers reproduction and mutation is the

presence of antibiotics.Every use of antibiotics has been demonstrated in

labs to develop antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Frequently, these bacteria

have " learned " in the mutation to be resistant to a wide spectrum of

antibiotics, not just to the one in use. Antibiotic-resistant mutations

remain dormant in your body until something--primarily a compromised immune

system--triggers active growth. Because of chemo, rad, anticonvulsants,

etc., BT and other cancer patients generally have somewhat compromised

immune systems. I think it would be very dangerous to deliberately build

antibiotic resistance through the use of antibiotics for no reason. The

author of Virus X, the book I am

currently reading, is a virologist in England with great credentials. He

cites studies that most of us have dormant bacteria for some really nasty

things--tuberculosis, staphyllocus, etc. We do not need to encourage

mutation into antibiotic-resistant forms. The author said he feels it is

" criminal " that meat producers are allowed to feed antibiotics to cattle,

chickens, etc. because it increases weight, and thus profits. He says as

meat eaters we are ingesting too much antiobiotics for safety just through

our daily lives. I am an off and on vegetarian and had drifted back to

chicken and fish, but I think I will drop the chicken anyway, unless it is

certified organic. But I would suggest that there is anecdotal evidence

that illness, by boosting the immune system, may aid in tumor reduction

(and who knows--it's pretty anecdotal, but intriguing!). I

something. But I have always known that messing around with antibiotics is

dangerous stuff. And I will say from posts on the Brain Tumors list, that a

number of people have died from secondary infections while fighting the BT,

rather than the BT itself. Pneumonia has been a particular problem.

Best Wishes,

Grace

Sorry, Grace, Ambrotose is absolutely not penicillin-based. I have a wealth of

information on ingredients, as well as literature from many reputable sources

which explains what the products are and how they work. Even the website which

so many seem to be 'looking down their noses' at lists the products and how

they work. It would seem that to have any merit on this list, 'cures' have to

be free, or almost free. Everyone must have medical insurance which pays for

everything prescribed by their doctors, or is it just that if a 'doctor'

prescribes it that automatically gives it some validity? And do these clinics

in Mexico or wherever not charge for their services? And contrary to that

person's personal attack (I forget his name -- I don't save comments from

people who are completely blinded by prejudice for whatever reason --) on my

'trying to sell' the products my family uses, yes, there have been occasions

when previously sick and miserable people have shown so much improvement and

felt full of renewed vigor that they HAVE become excited and told other sick

people about how to feel better. I'm sorry he doesn't 'get it,' but I really

don't dwell on too much sympathy when their response to me is so evil in

nature! I am a Christian, and I do talk to God about all of this, and I think

he understands that what I am doing is not being a 'hustler' or any of the

other spiteful descriptions being dished out!
