My personal medical history has very little antibiotic use. I've never had a flu shot ( even risking court martial refusing the infamous swine flu innoculation in 1977) and still think common aspirin one of the great pharmaceutical miracles. This resistance is disconcerting. My opthamolgist is amazed at my very healthy, albiet 20/20 correctable nearsighted eyes. I have perfect blood pressure and none of the problems associated with my age group. So, as past threads have touched on, good diet, exercise and mental wellness ( I have an incredible girlfriend <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />) will deal with these nasties. That, and praying in several religous traditions with my great grandmother's remedy of single malt whisky, honey, lemon and hot water <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
