Antibiotics

“The bronchitis, pneumonia, it's all bacterial. We handled that with antibiotics. Aaron Seary was also discussing how it seems that prior measles infection protects you from some other things. You know, it may.”

“vitamins, secondary antibiotics, aspirin, colchicine, antithrombotics, my colour protocol, as I published it in the American Journal of Medicine, was more extensive than what people got in the hospital. I've testified under oath that 85% of these deaths could have been avoided.”

“it seriously. I've got a family member who right now is taking a very high dose spectrum of antibiotics because they unfortunately had a sepsis type situation.”

“Like it, with some exceptions, there's, have you heard of C. diff? No. So this is like an intestinal issue where generally from people in a hospital who are taking antibiotics, antibiotics deplete bacteria and they'll deplete good and bad bacteria.”

“but they will continue to, to make the fluid and leak the fluid. Got it. Do you ever give antibiotics in that situation or is that a no-no? We do. So it's not continuous. So the, the recommendation is to give antibiotics at the time they present.”

“we do give some antibiotics at the, at the start and then like no more after that. Going back to the C-section versus vaginal discussion. Again, my vague recollection is one of the advantages of a vaginal delivery is related to the bacterial transfer between mother and fetus.”

“Penicillin, I think, was a huge step. I was lucky enough to grow up in the era when penicillin and other antibiotics became widely available. They had been overused by then.”

“Again, World War II. greatly accelerates things, not least because we discover a real magic bullet called penicillin and then the other antibiotics that we subsequently come across. Penicillin had been observed by Alexander Fleming in his famously in his lab in some Gipetri tube, Petri dishes where bacteria had been killed.”

“If you take antibiotics, have you ever had to take antibiotics? If you take antibiotics and try to work out, holy shit, bro, you feel so tired. You feel so exhausted. Are there, are there fighters that stink on purpose, like as part of their strategy?”

“but follow the doctor's advice, do the antibiotics and then see how you are on the other side of it. Sage Russell, what's the secret to taming my limitless ambition? Lately, it's difficult to enjoy little moments. Honestly, dude, I don't think you need to fucking tame it.”

“So even if I'm healthy right now, I could do a set of things that would give me this? Yes. In fact, if you take... So back to our conversation about antibiotics. If you take antibiotics, your risk of developing an inflammatory bowel disease in the next year just doubled.”

“Of course, there's a lot of stuff. So, eventually, I was able to find that I was carrying the bacteria. And it's like, oh, antibiotics, I'll be well. And I did a few courses of antibiotics and just got sicker instead of better.”

“sterile organ. And even with things like prophylactic antibiotics and preparation, infection rates from these biopsies ran between 5 and 7%. Which, of course, when you multiply that across the number of people that were having them is an enormous amount of morbidity.”

“very good method in the transrectal approach. Importantly, the transperineal method doesn't require prophylactic antibiotics, which is a meaningful benefit both for the patient and for the antibiotic stewardship more broadly as we face an era of antibiotic resistance.”
