Light at the end of the tunnel

Scrolling through the news I am accustomed to being bombarded with stories of the Democrat-Republican tug-o-war and the latest antics of some Kardashian. Today however, it was something different that caught my eye.

As an alternative therapist, or for that matter a health conscious individual, I try to keep my use of antibiotics to a minimum and encourage everyone around me to do the same. That being said, we’ve all heard about the time-bomb that is antibiotics. Ergo, one can understand my excitement when I came across the above article in BBC news.

 

What do you think? Are you optimistic about the future of our medicinal advancements?
