Phage Therapy- Russian Propaganda or Prevention against Superbugs?

An infectious disease epidemiologist and an evolutionary psychologist walk into a pharaoh's tomb... and one of them gets Acinetobacter baumannii?? 

Basically, this science loving couple named Steffanie Strathdee and Tom Patterson was on vacation in Egypt and one of them came down with a stomach bug. Unfortunately, this stomach bug turned out to be a particularly gnarly opportunistic infection- that happened to be drug resistant. Tom, the husband suffering from the Acinetobacter baumannii infection, had a soccer ball sized cyst in his stomach full of the bacterium. Luckily for him, Steffanie is an infectious disease epidemiologist. She poured through PubMed (much as I have done for many of these blogs) and found an article about alternative therapies for superbugs.  One of these ideas was called phage therapy. Phage therapy was actually a USSR brainchild. The Soviets used to use bacteriophages, which are viruses that prey on bacteria, because they didn't have consistent access to the level of antibacterial medication that the West had. Between the association with Communism and a lack of innovation in traditional Western medicine, phage therapy was inaccessible to Americans. Until Steffanie found this article about phage therapy and convinced a research hospital to attempt it on her husband, it hadn't been used successfully in the United States. Thankfully, after this therapy Tom recovered fully- and opened a door to the long forgotten phage therapy! The couple has now created North America's first phage therapy center, called the Innovative Phage Applications and Therapeutics center.

  4. New Treatment for herpes Virus
    I was once a victim of Herpes virus, miraculously I survived. I am from Nevada. Before I asked my girlfriend out late last year, she already told me she was battling with herpes virus. So the decision to get involved with her was mine. But nevertheless, I can't let the virus decide our future. So I was determined to get rid of the virus. I suffered from this deadly virus for over 8 months. The lesions were on my lips and later extended to my back. I tried all sorts of meds. but to no avail. We spent so much money on meds. To cut long story short, I decided to try out herbal home remedies. Then I went online and I was on one herbal blog, I saw many comments,but after reading about how one herbal Dr. Ahmed cured a lady from HSV 2, I had to write the doctor. I contacted the doctor through his email and he assured me that I will be healthy again. He prepared some traditional meds. and sent them to me, after asking me some questions. I used all the meds. he sent, just as he directed. Though while I was like on the second bottle, I was not experiencing any symptom as the lesion on my back and lips dried up. I continued the dosage and kept in touch with the doctor. After about one weeks, i consumed the whole bottles. I went for test and to my greatest surprise, the result was negative. I was saved the very moment I thought all hope was lost. You too can be healthy again. You should talk to Dr. Ahmed through his direct email address: drahmedusman5104@gmail.com  He has herbal medicine for HIV Hair loss, diabetes, Fibroid, Cancers.

  5. Just got diagnosed with HSV1, and reading this actually made me feel like crawling and crying like a baby. The outbreak I have right now is genital and in my throat and mouth, I talked to the doctor who did the blood test on me and said over time that it would eventually get much better. She said that what I’m having is a massive outbreak and is unusual, but that it may be due to the fact that I stressed myself out over it so much. She also told me even though I have it in the genital area that It doesn't mean that I needed “private to private” contact to acquire it. But this did make me feel a whole lot better about the whole situation. For anyone else to have HSV1 after all this stress and pains am passing and the doctor saying all such of crap i was not convince by his Theory so i decided to go on the internet and saw this comments by Rose who testify about how she get cured by root and herbs by Chief Dr Wealthy, when i first bump into it i didn't believe the comments at first so i decided to confront her on Facebook and really know what and how did it work because my doctor told me there is no cure for herpes, so i really contacted Chief Dr Wealthy, he responded in A minute the only thing he ever ask for was just the items of which he will use to prepare for the herbs, after all this he send the herbs through courier Services, within 2 week i was cure just like that without no struggle or stress, if you are out there in need of cure contact him with his email address: wealthylovespell@gmail.com or you Whatsapp him.+2348105150446
