   WHO ISSUING WARNING AGAINST DEADLY BACTERIA

   The World Health Organization (WHO) is now issuing a warning against a «superdeadly» strain of tuberculosis, about to spread globally. In as geographically distant land as Denmark/Germany and New Zealand, there are already discovered 100 cases of multiresistant tuberculosis during a relatively short time. Even if the number of cases are still small, there is cause for worry when a deadly disease is on the rise and spreading throughout the world, it’s said in the report from WHO.
   This is one more disease about to turn untreatable, completely resistant by and towards antibiotics. There is a growing concern that human civilization is about to lose the race against the bacteria, and that the seemingly clear victory the past 50 years, will just reveal itself to be a passing phenomena. And also that use of antibiotics have merely camouflaged a growth in diseases caused by chemical and radioactive pollution, that the present day human population’s ability to fight off disease has been weakened, not strengthened, during the last decades. A growing number of reports are claiming that both pollution and the very use of antibiotics have weakened the immune defense system itself, and also contributed to make bacteria and viruses more virulent, more «angry».
   It’s pointed out that civilization itself, is a veritable «hotbed» of a gift to any bacteria and virus. Millions of people living in close proximity to each other. Any disease spread worldwide in a matter of hours. Food stemming from huge factory - like production facilities. Material from brains and spinal cords used as animal fodder. Unhealthy food being served people, living generally unhealthy lives. Old diseases are turning more virulent, new ones are discovered every day. The use of medicine world wide are going through the roof. People jumping off the bandwagon or being sacked from the multinational drug companies, have a lot to say about their sales methods.
   These, and other various concerns put together, in recent articles, don’t leave much room for optimism.
