Btw, Bigworld and I are following a small biotech called Acurx (ACXP) which has an interesting new antibiotic. High risk, but has been fun to follow and try to figure out a strategy. I have a little, but have a $1000 position limit, so mainly just for fun. The antibiotic could be a major improvement over current antibiotics used to treat C-Dif infections in hospitals (Clostridium Difficile). This is a huge problem these days, with approx 500,000 cases/yr and 20,000 deaths annually in the US. It's all due to the cumulative use / overuse of antibiotics for decades, and their devastating effect on the intestinal microbiome that we all need to remain healthy.
Broad spectrum antibiotics basically 'carpet bomb' the GI tract and kill off the beneficial bacteria, as does the herbicide glyphosate (RoundUp), which is sprayed on most non-organic grains and agro products in the US. Glyphosate / RoundUp was originally patented by Monsanto as an antibiotic, before becoming an herbicide, and it kills both weeds and intestinal bacteria by targeting a metabolic pathway common to both (Shikimate Pathway). Anyway, overuse of antibiotics, and use of antibiotic-like compounds like RoundUp in our food, are causing many of our health problems these days. Splenda sweetener is another one to avoid, since it also kills the healthy intestinal microbiome that is essential to good health.
