The People Who Are Responsible For Superbugs In British Hospitals
The People Who Are
Responsible For Superbugs In British Hospitals
Vernon Coleman
Three groups of people are responsible for the development of
superbugs (such as s.aureus and c.difficile) in Britain.
These killer
bugs didn't develop by accident.
They developed as a result of
greed.
Three groups of people are directly responsible.
1. Drug
companies Even though they knew that their actions would result in the
development of deadly drug-resistant organisms, they encouraged doctors to
over-prescribe antibiotics.
2. Doctors Doctors knew that by
handing out unnecessary prescriptions for antibiotics they were creating deadly
bugs. But it was easy and convenient to continue dishing out powerful
antibiotics to patients with colds and flu.
3. Farmers and
vets For years most antibiotics have been given not to human patients but
to farm animals. Farmers give antibiotics to cattle and other animals because
the drugs produce extra muscle. And that means more meat and more profit. Vets
have known the dangers for decades. But they have steadfastly ignored the
dangers in order to make a quick buck.
You will find the full story of
how antibiotics have been abused - and just how drug companies, doctors and vets
are directly responsible for the development of superbugs - in my book
Superbody.
The bad news is that things are going to get much,
much worse I'm afraid.
The good news is that Superbody contains
specific advice on how you can protect yourself by building up your immune
system.
Superbody is available from all good bookshops,
including the shop on this website. It is also available for loan through
libraries.
