1. Dr. Susan Lark said when the antibiotics do not work or are
Rivkah   (12.21.08)
not available, she would use a RIFE machine to bombard the body with the radiowavelength of the bacteria to kill the toxic bacteria. That is 1920's medicine from Dr. Royal Raymond Rife. There are other old paths in medicine that should be considered. Elevating tissue oxygen levels to 14 parts per million for a month or more reverses a lot of diseases and toxic infections; not just of bacteria but of parasites and viruses, too. Dr. William Campbell Douglass II suggests lactoferrin for difficult infections.
2. Sadly this isn't a just phenomenon in Israel but everywhere
(12.21.08)
The problem is that we have forgotten basics of nature: 1. First and foremost we are always treating bacteria as if there is only one kind, and those simply attacks us. Then we use anti-biotics which are not target specific and thus kill off huge populations of bacteria. The small percentage that mutate and survive then become immune and now have advantage to survival. We must not act like these microbes cannot evolve, we must remember that the best way to beat them is through the use of competitiveness in evolution. By that we should be giving advantages to 'good bacteria' like the E.coli sitting in our guts? Why are infections very unlikely in that region? Because there is such a huge concentration of these 'good' e.coli that simply consume all the food and block off any competitors! 2. Next we must have a short-term band-aid solution for MDE/I developed bacteria (Multi-drug efflux/influx pumps). By clogging up these pumps which either help to keep the osmotic pressure of the bacteria cells which are generally disrupted by anti-biotics or literally hurl out the anti-biotics all together. That way we can continue to use (for a short time) our old drugs such that new resistances aren't these massive evolutionary advantages. 3. Finally develop better and more specific treatments, such as the use of bacterial phages (specific viruses that attack bacteria). We can become world leaders easily as the current world center in bacterial phage study is Georgia, and considering the number of olim we have from there I'm certain quite a few could regail us for days about there intricate details of the subject. Finally we need to develop SPECIFIC drug targets that are unique to each disease. And also look for better means such as effecting the quroum sensing of these microbes and there communication mechanisms.
