Fortunately we know that antibiotics are not the only things that work on bacterial infections---in fact there are many remedes that work much better---colloidal silver---honey--various herbs---ozone etc....etc... unless of course pharma succeeds in wiping them all out first....--- On Mon, 2/15/10, Susan Siegel <ssiegel5 wrote:
