Spices as Medicines

(a reprise from 2012, updated in 2016, having added other herbs, foods, and supplements.)

I read news this morning about a new strain of Superbug that is plaguing India; the piece explains the NDM-1 gene and plasmids that allow easy bacterial mutations; more than I can fully grasp in a reading.  (The piece neglects to mention how much the same causes occur in the US, of course.)  But antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains other than MRSA seem to be brewing and causing increasing alarm among health care organizations.  Global pandemics are apparently not unlikely, and finding reliable cures in what they’re calling ‘a post-antibiotic era’ frightening at the very least.   Chief causes seem to be over-prescribed antibiotics, patients historically not having completed the prescribed round of antibiotics, and antibiotics in animal feed.

‘You can say that again’  ~ the Wizard of Id

Why aren’t we revolting (yes, we’re deplorable useless eaters, a different matter altogether)?  Our ruling Kleptocrats don’t care if we live or die, but most make noises as if they do.  ‘Elect me! I’m not him!’  Or engage in Congressional Virtue-signaling Tweets, but don’t vote as they Tweet.

The Peasants are useful only to serve their needs, pay taxes from the Fruits of Our Labor to fund our own further immiseration and precarity!

Are we dead or just asleep?  Do we keep on believing that Voting really matters?

‘If voting made a difference, it would be illegal!’
