Los Angeles Times, 1994, “Arsenal of Antibiotics Failing as Resistant Bacteria Develop” asserts that broad-spectrum antibiotic resistance can only grow and that supermicrobes like the Andromeda virus reveal a nightmare scenario of pathogens immune to all drug treatments.
Newsweek, 1994, “Antibiotics, The End of the Miracle Drugs” reports that the growth of drug-resistant pathogens is unparalleled in history. Outsmarting it with better antibiotics will only buy us a few extra years and we need to abandon antibiotic treatment altogether in favor of something better.
Time, 1995, ”Revenge of the Killer Microbes” points traditional medicine's antibiotic answer to resistant microbes as a “retreat” in the battle against pathogens, and that we are moving away from a belief that all infection can be defeated and toward the fear of when the next killer plague will strike.
U.S. News & World Report, 1999, “Killer Bacteria” reiterates that designer antibiotics are only buying us a little more time and that virulent pathogens are gaining power and are a special threat to the elderly, the young and the sick or immune-suppressed.
USA Today, 2002, “Antibiotic Resistance on the Rise” details the results of an international meeting of the American Society of Microbiology, where scientists warn that new antibiotics and vaccines are barely staying ahead of drug-resistant pathogens and now the risks are not confined to hospitals and nursing homes.
Fox News, 2006, “Antibiotic-Resistance DNA Showing Up in Drinking Water” reports that Colorado State University has found that drug-resistant DNA has been discovered even in treated drinking water sources.
The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2007 “Invasive Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infections in the United States” concluded MRSA is no longer confined to intensive care units, acute care hospitals, or any health care institution. In conclusion, invasive MRSA disease is a major public health problem. JAMA has the largest circulation of any medical journal in the world.
