These last few days I've read countless articles on antibiotic resistant staph infections. Dozens in fact … they're only waking up to the severity now???

Duh! That's why I wrote Staph Infection Help … because I knew that as time goes on, more and more infections will be resistant to antibiotics, and the pharmaceutical firms won't be able to create new antibiotics that work anymore. This has to happen. The pharmaceutical approach, if you think it through, MUST decline in effectiveness and may even stop working altogether (except in simple infections or in places where they haven't used the drugs before, such as in the amazon jungle, etc.).

Guess what's happening? Just that. All it requires is some thinking to realize the medical paradigm of infection treatment MUST therefore change, and change quickly.  It's simple thinking - you don't need a PhD to do this and forge the correct research policy. All you need to do is THINK (Which is why I finally clapped when Bill Gates said he's devoting money to curing malaria, because if you think about it you'll realize that's one of the key hinges to everything in malaria prevalent areas  - health, economics, etc.)  And all you need do is look around at what's happening - You go into a hospital healthy and nearly everyone now comes out with an infection! It's deadly to visit a hospital nowadays. It's also deadly to get vaccinations at times too. Just CHECK and then think.    I always criticize legislators when they're just swallowing the establishment line and not thinking anymore, and are ignoring the BIG issues like this that become GIGANTIC issues in time. Gosh, 5 minutes  on the internet can inform you of the pro and con on almost anything nowadays….ALWAYS look at all sides of an issue.

The only reasons drug companies keep researching antibiotics rather than the other methods that work, but which they can't patent (but still will make money on) is because they can't get a monopolistic patent. It's about money, not helping people. Money. They are in business to make money. That's one reason drug companies don't focus on cures but on drugs to manage a disease — it's one bottle of pills versus a monthly prescription that needs to be refilled forever. Get it? Not always, but there is a research tendency to go where the bigger dollars are.

So, my book on this is to help not just this nation, but ALL NATIONS and all people. No one else was doing it so I had to. There will come a time (probably in the next 50 years) when antibiotics won't be working for MOST infections in general. And then they'll have to use the other therapies I've mentioned — oxygen therapies, hydrogen peroxide, electrification of the blood, colloidal silver (or mercury) therapies, etc. A few doctors have written asking for the blood electrification chapter, etc. so it's posted on the site somewhere.(There are LOTS of patents in that area, by the way).

I couldn't put all these therapies in the Staph book, so just focused on one problem only and the solutions that may save lives.

What more can someone do? For those Gulf War vets who are exposed to depleted uranium, and for our citizens in case there ever was a nuclear plant accident or dirty bomb, potassium iodide stores won't be enough and the hospitals won't know what to do. That's why, as my contribution, I wrote Radiation Detox as well.  It's just like I said, we spend billions on nuclear weapons and studies but barely a cent on what to do if someone attacks us with those things, which is a good possibility if we keep insisting it's OK to proactively attack a country with nuclear weapons while forgetting the fact that revenge is rarely forgotten EVEN AFTER DECADES, and  will likely prompt a counter response whenever it eventually becomes possible. 

That's a perfect example of leadership arrogance and the stupidity of NOT THINKING through the long term, blow back or cause-and-effect  (like antibiotics resistance and the doomed antibiotic approach forever), an instance of not understanding human behavior once again. What do we call this in cultivation - a lack of wisdom, and when bad things happen the excuse "We didn't know it would happen. Who could have possibly expected that? etc. etc."  Their view of history isn't long enough and understanding isn't deep enough. I have to do all I can to protect my nation with my little contribution, despite the  ignorance of my leaders, and you should, too. All you can do is offer.

You can make the same sorts of contributions to the country. Pick a problem, research it, find the solutions, and put them together, like any good journalist does, in a book. For instance, it caught my eye that gonorrhea is becoming more prevalent and antibiotic resistant, but doctors in China cure it with a "poison attacks poison" TCM therapy. That's the type of information that can save lives if publicized. I once read of a doctor in Vietnam who hooked himself on opium in order to see what would work to cure himself, because of all the suffering he saw in his country, and then traveled around for years trying every cure he could find. That type of info is extremely valuable. I once had a girlfriend  doctor who  actually saw a herbal concoction in Ethiopia which cured rabies. I didn't believe it when I first heard it, but all these things should be published so someone can use the indications to make breakthroughs.

You can find all sorts of information like this on the internet now, which is basically for free. I had to do it the hard way –expensive books and lots of labor and time reading and researching. You can do it in hours. So pick a topic, in any field, and make a contribution.

For agriculture pick up a copy of ACRES magazine, and you'll see there's so much you can write about. For health, check out the PRICE POTTENGER FOUNDATION and the topics they're discussing. I have favorite nexus points for economics, politics, military, statesmanship, education, creativity, meditation, social welfare, investments, and all sorts of other topics. If you want to become enlightened, or just helpful to society, you have to know these things. A Buddha knows about everything because he studies. Dig in!

As I always say, as a layman, meditation isn't something you leave off, but you have to bring clear introspection into your daily world and examine what you are doing, especially moreso now that the world is more complicated, quicker, and people seem to be championing the wrong principles on  the airwaves. Turn it off a bit and start thinking for yourself. Examine history. Ask what you would want to happen to YOU…if you don't want something to happen to you, then don't do it to others. You cannot avoid the karma otherwise.

It's pretty simple to figure out karmic consequences:

Confucius: "Do not do to (impose upon) others what you do not want done to you."
Jesus: "Do unto others as you would want others to do unto you."
Mencius: "Do not do what you would not do, and don't desire what you would not desire. That is all."
Hinduism (Mahabharata): "Do naught to others which if done to thee would cause thee pain."
Judaism (Talmud): "What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow men. That is the entire law; all the rest is commentary."
Buddhism (Udana-Varga): "Hurt not others with that which pains yourself."
Christianity (Gospel of Matthew): "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them: for this is the law and the prophets."

So give if you want to receive, offer if you want to help. But if you want to destroy yourself, then take, hurt, kill, destroy. You cannot escape karma, which in the geopolitical field is called tit-for-tat, blowback, consequences, cause-and-effect, polticial response or "unintended consequences". It might not be immediate, but karmic returns always rebound.

 P.S. By the way, if you're a statesman forging national policy, and you know that antibiotics are destined over time to fail more and more, and that the drug companies are spending their research dollars on more antibiotic research which, in time, is also doomed to fail, what do you do? You support research(publicly funded)  on the non-antibiotic alternatives that may work but which the drug companies won't pursue because they don't  promise monopolistic profits  for companies.

That's right - you designate government research dollars for investigating other things that may work and then finding the ways to make them works the BEST. The research stipulation is to "make this work" if you can. Otherwise, someone (for instance) studies 15 mg of vitamin E for some health condition and finds out it didn't do anything….andthen says vitamin E is not effective.  Of course not — 15 mg won't help anybody with anything. You fund research that is targeted inthis way, "find out if this helps at all, and then find out how to make this work to the maximum effectiveness possible." That's how you discover how to make lightbulbs — first find out if you can make light, then figure out the best way to maximize it.

See what I mean? That's what policy makers should be doing in the health field. Stop massive funding of drug research - let the companies do that themselves as they are very efficient at it and will use gov't funded research to make monopolistic money at the public's expense. So instead, fund research into natural alternatives (non patentable, so all will benefit) not just to see if there is an effect. but rather, the mandate should be "How can you make this more effective than drugs? What do you have to do? What dosage, type, what do you pair it with, etc. to make this the most effective for this condition?"

That's working in the public's interest. Fund research into what profit seeking companies will not fund because there is no profit in it for them, and yet there is public benefit GALORE.
