What Will We Do When Antibiotics Don't Work?

Pharmaceutical companies aren't producing enough new drugs to keep pace with the evolution of drug-resistant bacteria, the so-called superbugs. Drug companies have been focusing on "lifestyle" drugs, rather than the 7 to 14 day antibiotics, which start being ineffective after 10 to 15 years.

These drug-resistant bacteria are migrating into locker rooms, prisons, and other settings, ranging far beyond the hospital wards where they have lurked before. Estimates are that 70 percent of the 90,000 fatal infections Americans will contract this year will be from bacteria that are resistant to at least one antibiotic. Natural remedies researcher Dr. Cass Ingram says there is hope for fighting these "superbugs", not with the drug companies, but in the high mountains of Turkey. Dr. Cass Ingram is heavily involved in proving the efficacy of Oreganol P73 (wild oregano) and Oregacyn P73 (a combination of spices) through research.

A study done at Georgetown University proved that drug resistant staph succumbed, specifically to the powers of P73 oil of wild Oreganol. "Lab tests prove that Oreganol P73 kills all types of germs, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts, molds and parasites. No drug offers such a wide killing range," says Dr. Cass Ingram. "And Oregacyn P73, which is made from several wild spices, tested even better. In one instance the hepatitis C virus was destroyed directly within the body: right in the blood. The oil proved effective in killing over 99.9% of virus cells."

Dr. Ingram says, "Up until now the focus has been on synthetic substances or extensively altered natural compounds in the production of antibiotics. However, with a few exceptions, they only kill bacteria. There are tens of thousands of natural antibiotics and antiseptics which kill the full range of germs, bacteria, fungi, mold, viruses and parasites." He says urging the government to provide incentives to drug companies may not be the best step to take. "We need to look into alternative natural remedies to the problem. After all, the persistent use of current antibiotics is what caused drug-resistant staph and drug-resistant step."

Dr. Cass Ingram is one of the world's leading experts in natural remedies and the antimicrobial effectiveness of wild oregano and other spice oils. In addition to his research he has written 14 books, including the most recent "Natural Cures for Killer Germs".
