1)"The unchecked used of antibiotics in animals is another reason for the development of so called super bugs that require different treatments. Who is responsible for this? The Pharma industry, that's who." -- You're correct. Big pharma is resposible, so is government, and so is the AMA with its select few unethical corrupt physicians. My point is that your average local doc is not in a conspiracy to poison America. Physicians offer the treatments that are available -- no one is forced to use them. I feel that natural herbal remedies are beneficial, afterall many drugs are simply natural substances purified into tablet form. It's not that physicians think they don't work--it is just that it is not always accurately quantified. You can get aspirin from willow bark if you make tea from it. Will you get enough, too much, or just the right amount of aspirin? Sure would be bad to damage your kidneys because the tea was too strong. The debate you are trying to have over this is too polarizing--just as the media, government, and others would like it to be.
