You're the Cure


Thanks to Dave for the link to this one.

This is an article talking about the newest development in antibiotics. As someone that strongly believes in the importance of preventive medicine I like that this new technology strengthens the body's natural ability to fight infection instead of simply killing the bacteria directly, which often leads to the mutation and resistence. The more medicine can strengthen the patient, rather than treating symptons and becoming a crutch, the better. Augment a person's ability to cure himself. Anyway, here's the link:

"This study provides important insights into how we can fight infection by harnessing the body's own immune system," said Dr. Bhagirath Singh
