NFT: HBO - The Post Anti-Biotic World

GameFaceRadio : 4/24/2015 1:41 pm
Holy scariness, Batman! This special on antibiotics and their ineffectiveness and what is to follow was absolutely riveting.

As superbugs become more and more prevalent, the new medicines to combat these strains are becoming harder to locate and synthesize. People are dying at an alarming rate and strains such as MRSA are becoming the norm rather than aberrations.

Over use of antibiotics have truly limited their effectiveness on strains like clostridium difficle. The guy who contracted this wa a paramedic and now has NO INTESTINE!

While we argue over dumb shit like whether Hillary Clonton is fit to serve e as our commander in chief, people are dying from these strains.

Um, we're in trouble here.

Make all the jokes you like.  
GameFaceRadio : 4/24/2015 1:58 pm : link
When your grandchildren are affected, you won't be laughing then.

I'm sure about that. Watch the special, then post your comments.

I'm sure Lawrence Tynes isn't laughing. Pretty sure about that. I have friends who are Jiu-Jitsu practioners who aren't laughing either.

MRSA is real, whether you like it or not. Antibiotics are failing. But go get your 5 day cycle of Cipro when you get the sniffles.

Keep on keepin' on.

I believe they are related as they are both Bill Maher Productions. On HBO this month. Great television. The Indonesian rainforest is nearly extinct as graft and corruption dominate.

The ignorance here is galling. But, hey, we're picking 9th. Right?

is the disappearing Indonesian rain forest causing the rise in antibiotic resistant bacteria?

Seriously? It's not that complicated. The rise in antibiotic resistant bacteria is harming jiu jitsu practitioners, whose reduced number is insufficient to protect the Indonesian rain forest. Try to keep up man.

I am GameFace. Changed handles as we are shopping to other major markets. These threads are great promotional tools.

MRSA and MMA have been intertwined for some time. Most gyms do not clean their mats as they should. If you roll at a local gym, I suggest you ask what their hygiene procedures are. I have 6 friends who have contracted MRSA recently in the Tri-state area.

Keep laughing. Laughter is a great cure, from what I hear.
Meh.  
Cam in MO : 4/24/2015 2:10 pm : link
Being concerned about something that's been known for a long time and protecting yourself by avoiding antibiotics whenever possible rather than running around like the sky is falling and we're all going to die doesn't necessarily equal ignorance.

Unfortunately the (IMO) hysteria in your opening leads me to believe that you're probably not looking for any sort of intelligent conversation on the matter.

I bet if you re-post with a less dramatic opening, you will find that plenty of people would enjoy talking about this intelligently.

Delivery can make all of the difference.



It was just a segment in this weeks Vice  
j_rud : 4/24/2015 2:12 pm : link
Actually a pretty weak episode IMO, although I do think it's one of the best news programs currently on the air. They did do a stand alone hour special recently about engineering HIV to kill cancer, which had a 90% success rate in shrinking brain tumors in one study. That was some incredible stuff.

I didn't just find out about this. I just saw the HBO special so I thought it bore mentioning. And there are many who Ingest antibiotics that don't know squat about them.
So then, who was this for...

Definitely was. I got chills when the founder/host said (paraphrasing here) "it was then I realized that we weren't talking about a treatment, we were talking about a cure". From genetically engineering one of the deadliest viruses in recorded history, no less. All I can say is there are some absurdly smart people out there...

I did too. Recurring C. Diff. I've had it on three different occasions. I had it last November actually. Luckily, they came out with this new drug called "Difficid" and while extremely expensive, there's like a 95% success rate of getting rid of it and keeping it away.
