MRSA - C.Dif - No more antibiotics, doctors told
Pat's Note: Sooner or later the mainstream media will pick up the
point that huge quantities of antibiotics are used to get sick pigs
into the food chain.
The illogicality of the policy is there for all to see. As is the
continuing refusal to admit that British pigs have MRSA and probably
C.Diff.
The deliberate leaking of false assurances that the pigs are MRSA
Free will sink them.

No more antibiotics, doctors toldDoctors are to be told by the
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) that they
muist stop prescribing antibiotics to patients suffering from minor
ailments in a bid to halt the development of drug-resistant
infections.
Under new NICE guidance, doctors must recommend other forms of
recovery from ear infections, sore throats, tonsillitis, colds, sinus
infections, coughs and bronchitis, such as staying at home and resting
for the course of the ailment or prescribing painkillers.
The Government launched a £270m ad campaign yesterday to warn patients
that coughs and colds are not curable with drugs and that instead
using antibiotics and the like can lead to the spread of superbugs
such as MRSA or Clostridium difficile.
Up to 38 million prescriptions were written by GPs last year, with
two-thirds of all antibiotic scrips being written for respiratory
illnesses.
