Fighting bacteria without antibiotics | Jody Druce | TEDxYouth@ISPrague

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose an increasingly serious threat to human health. This talk addresses the path by which modern society has arrived at the current crisis, and suggests a surprising potential solution. Could humanity do away with antibiotics and, instead, disrupt the ways bacteria communicate?

Just fast. The healthy bacteria in your body will outcompete the ones who do not belong.

Ozone therapy was being used to treat pneumonia before Penicillin was discovered. I had pneumonia and ozone therapy fixed it along with high dose intravenous vitamin c. The problem is that ozone and vitamin c can’t be patented and sold for outrageous sums.

Excellent. An understandable explanation of an esoteric issue. A perfect example of how scientists can communicate the importance of scientific research to non-scientists. I once wrote a piece describing quorum sensing as bacteria telephoning their friends to invite them to a feast. I wish I'd had this man on my team

[nikkichevere]

This young man is only 17!!! What a profound speaker..

[gsandy]

Seeing this, while taking antibiotics, prescribed by a doctor.

[Humble]

Brilliant young man. May the Lord bless him.

My grandmother was an M.D., and graduated from Hahnemann Medical College shortly before the Great Depression began in 1929. I still remember her lecturing me about "cell wall synthesis agents", and that during my lifetime, I'll very likely see most of them "at least begin to fail". Her worst fear, that Rifampin and INH would become ineffective.

[aieen]

He is amazing. I would have liked to hear more on exactly HOW the communication could be interrupted.

[dadaradabada]

I think he meant raising huge army of good bacteria will keep bad bacterias in check.

[BlazedLizurd]

Such an interesting talk and great speaker!

[KahudMom]

How would this approach not disrupt the good bacteria in the digestive tract?

Salt and flour poultice on infected wounds(not large ones). Bind on with a cloth. It doesn’t feel good, but it killed the bacteria in the infected puncture wound on my heel. I actually had a red line starting up the back of my ankle. Overnight, the salt drew the infection out and pus was left on the cloth. Cured without antibiotics. Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor. Do this at your own risk.

Wild Oregeno, Collidial Silver, from accute local infection

[carlettagoodrich-mann]

Thank you for updating the course for antibiotics .

[pennys]

My guy is getting his steps in during his presentation 😆

[vasudevdubey]

So what's the conclusion, how we can come out from infection???

[meyersonfire]

If only there really was an answer here--it only eludes to an answer, so this title is misleading, sadly

[maryjanesdank]

Honey garlic purple onion kill bacteria stronger than oral antibiotics, I’ve been keeping myself alive with this, I’m supposed to be on a picc line with iv antibiotics 24 hours a day but I haven’t been able to get my scrip filled because it’s like drs don’t even learn about bacterial infection in medical school it’s a terrifying situation

[sunailyangela]

I want him to talk about the vaccine against covid19

[nams]

can Colloidal silver or probiotics helps us?
