The Chihuahuan Desert:
Scientists have found that about half of the organisms at Cuatro Cienegas are most closely related to marine life, even though the oases here have not been in contact with the ocean for tens of millions of years.

The Intensive Care Unit:
“We keep inventing new antibiotics, but bacteria evolve resistance almost immediately, so we’re constantly playing catch-up,” he says. “How can we make the best use of the antibiotics we’ve got now? We’re using mathematical models to generate hypotheses about how we can shape and alter prescription practice to minimize or delay the evolution of resistance.”
“It’s Darwinism at its finest,”

Antibiotics are synthetic and life is mutable. That is a recipe for disaster.

Silver is found to kill many of the microbes, yet no money goes into researching this even though it has been used successfully for centuries. Baking soda has been found to kill cancer cells without harming healthy cells, again, no money for research. (did you know that baking soda is used with chemo and that chemo would kill upwards of 90% of patients if administered without baking soda? so which is the cure?)

Anyway, until we look beyond the test tube, and use what nature has provided, medicine is a risky, and really profitable, business.
