In ever increasing population even diseases of same mortality cause ever increasing number of deaths, not to mention always evolving flue and superbacterias, emerging due to excess usage of antibiotics.
I see increased health surveillance as a good thing to fight this. What are the other ways?
Where do you think superbacteria came from? Hyper-focus on getting sick, antibiotics and anti-germ lotions made bacteria resistant to it all...
Well excess use of antibiotics is one factor for sure. But on the other hand people can't afford to get sick, so they keep going to work and spreading potentially evolved bacteria.
Reporting that you are sick means less income and it's against human nature to shoot in one's leg.
Also we can't stop using antibiotics because we would return to dark ages where pneumonia was a death sentence.
What other solutions would you see?
Incorporating homeopathics and naturopathic medicine into first-line therapy can help to increase antibiotic efficacy and decrease the need for them.
But why then US law requires to mark homeopathic products as having no healing effect?
Because they are bought off by pharmaceutical lobbies and are over invested in the materialistic worldview.
Homeopathy works. India wouldn't treat it equally with western medicine if it didn't. Nor would it have lasted this long if it didn't.
I am not so sure about its magic. Especially after reading how diluted they are (sometimes even a single molecule of active substance is not found in homeopathic dilutions).
Yeah, so what? Homeopathics don't work in a pharmaceutical mechanism.
The point is that they work. You can't tell someone who was obviously helped by a homeopathic that it is just a placebo effect just because homeopathy doesn't fit into your worldview.
Have you ever gone to see a homeopath? Or studied homeopathy?
