Is this the one that so far has only been tested in mice and NOT in humans?
Five years? Wait now, if they’ve tried it and it works, WHY FIVE YEARS???
Amazing the raw ingredients our Heavenly Father has provided here for us.
Excellent news!
C. diff is a particularly nasty organism. Most antibiotics are quite ineffective against it.
In fact, an infection is usually caused by an extended course of treatment with high power antibiotics killing off its competition and allowing it to thrive. My boss dang near died from it a couple of years ago.
A number of years ago my brother in law working for a major pharmaceutical firm was in charge of human trials of a new antibiotic in China. After literally millions of doses a handful of test subjects showed changes in liver function tests. The new antibiotic was pulled because of fears that these small number of side effects would block approval by the FDA in the US market. My brother in law remarked that not even aspirin would be approved by the FDA under these standards.
Eat Dirt!
One of our family’s long time docs is a dual Canadian/American citizen, and as I understand it, the Canadian testing process is much more streamlined than here. For these types of resistant bacteria, I agree that those seriously ill should have the choice to try the drug after the preliminary testing shows it works. The nano sponges recently described in various publications are hopefully going to be another tool against serious infections, as well.
Good news.
