i saw on my gp's wall an article, i think from the New York Times that IBM corp. has developed a nanoparticle that attacks antibiotic resistant bacteria. i don't have much more info for you right now, but maybe some of you who are more cognizant and computer literate can research and type a more articulate post than i can.
i will ask my g.p. more about this at my next visit. have been busy researching some recent scary symptoms right now that need immeadiate attention.
i do remember the article stating that in the last two decades research for new, more effective antibiotics have dropped off sharply.
and also said that IBM corp. has approached pharmaceutical firms about this new bacteria-attacking drug, but so far, no interest. i guess they make more money keeping us sick!
but it really sounds promising.

Wondering how this will affect the other forms taken by Bb, without cell walls.

- Thanks, Poppy.
I wondered that, too, about Bb being CWD.
Another consideration, I would not like to take a "polymer" (or even any form of "biodegradable plastic") into my body unless I had a 100% guarantee of its expected behavior in all manners.
I work very hard to keep plastic out. And just what would "biodegradable" plastic turn into when it's done in my body, I wonder? Will it turn up in brain tissue? Elsewhere? I hope they know.
I know they can't patent things that grow naturally - (otherwise allicin would be held up as a wonder drug) and that they have to have some chemical process involved to make money but I'm just not keen on ingesting plastic. -

thanks Poppy for finding this. thanks Keebler for pointing out that the treatment involves ingesting plastic. i didn't read the article too closely and intended to read it again at me next visit and talk to my GP about it. i didn't fully understand what the treatment involved. it does sound a bit scary now.
