Superbugs vs. Superdrugs

By Michael Dorausch, D.C.

Nature makes bugs, man makes drugs to kill the bugs. Nature makes stronger bugs to resist the drugs that man makes to kill the bugs. Man makes stronger drugs to kill the stronger bugs that resist man’s drugs. Nature makes superbugs to resist the stronger drugs. Man makes superdrugs to kill the superbugs. Nature makes super duper bugs that resist man’s strongest super drugs. Should man make super duper drugs?

And the saga continues…

Yesterday’s MSNBC news reported that a new superbug fighting drug has reportedly been defeated. According to the MSNBC article, “Multi-drug resistant bacteria, or so-called superbugs, seem to have defeated one of the newest antibiotics.”

According to the article, the latest drug to be beaten by the bugs is known as Zyvox, one of the first of a new class of antibiotics that is designed to work differently from older drugs. According to researchers, the bacteria the drug is supposed to kill, eventually became resistant.

There is a statement in the article, “Superbugs have flourished because doctors have overused antibiotics and scientists have failed to realize just how dynamic bacteria are.”

Just how dynamic are bacteria? Do bacteria have innate intelligence? Can bacteria comprehend and adapt to their environment?
