    You have been doing some trawling Marco, SAGA indeed.
    You do know that stands for Sex Annually Generally August.

    He 'looks' like a respectable fellow but having read some of the bile he post rather proves look aren't everything.

    Not long ago I was recruited to evaluate a major initiative by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. This compromised a massive global fund designed to stimulate greater investment in pharmaceutical research and development. The fund was supported by the major global pharma companies and several national development agencies. I was somewhat shocked to learn how little was being done to develop new antibiotics. Less than 5% of venture capital pharmaceutical research and development goes towards antimicrobial development and spending has been declining rapidly in recent years. Over the period 2003 to 2013 spending amounted to a mere $1.8 billion. To put this into context, the typical cost of developing a new drug and bringing it to market is around $2 billion. Most of the classes of antibiotics currently in use were discovered 50 years ago or more, and there are relatively few novel antibiotics in development. Phage therapy has been neglected by much of the western world but is gaining renewed interest with the failure of established antibiotics.

    You are right. When someone posts an ill informed comment I should ignore it. Clearly you posted your health status and treatment because you wanted to keep it to yourself. As it happens, I made no comment on what you should do. My point is that antibiotics are being misprescribed and the serious consequences of antibiotic misuse.

    Geoff, with respect, and I'm guessing it's not intentional, but your advice/input on the subject is coming across rather like lecturing/and a little arrogant, and isn't helpful, so I'm not surprised Al has reacted that way.

    Just lighten up a bit and put your points across as being merely your opinion, rather than fact, unless of course you're a trained medical professional and speaking from a position of authority? Even then, I'd suggest you improved your 'bedside manner'

    I am not a doctor, I am an economist with postgraduate training in epidemiology who has worked in the field of international health four nearly 40 years. If my posts sound like lecturing it's because I feel very strongly about this subject and because I was challenged to provide evidence of the points I was making. BTW, it is not about my opinion. I have done no more than cite the conclusions of rigorously conducted research and report on a widely held consensus in the scientific community.

    Furthermore, none of the posts I made were personal or insulting. The same cannot be said of the OP. Surely, the purpose of posting on this forum is to invite a response.

    I will end my posts as it is just not worth the hostility.

    Firstly, there is nothing whatsoever personal or insulting about the opening post. If you mean the poster himself, then that's different. However, you've clearly upset him (and I can understand why). He's unwell, and when you're unwell you can get a little narky, so I'd suggest you cut him some slack.

    End your posts if you so chose, but a more reasonable response might be to lighten up a bit, be less dour and serious in future (don't think that only your opinion matters), and consider apologising to Al for upsetting him? The tone of your responses to others has also been rather haughty and argumentative from the off.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
