Jud Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 4 hours ago, AudioDoctor said: Doctors now suggest not taking antibiotics as much because we have LEARNED that doing so was causing side effects that we did not want. So we adjusted our thinking and moved forward. If you expect Doctors or "science" to know everything and assume these contradictions are proof of the lack of efficacy of "science" then I really don't know how to help you. Also, details matter: Antibiotics are prescribed less often, for good reason, but I believe when prescribed the course should be completed, for the same reason. (In each case, the reason is to avoid creating the conditions that favor evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.)

Jud Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 8 hours ago, AudioDoctor said: Antibiotics are prescribed less often, although I think we still have a long way to go both prescribing less, and educating parents why, but there is no proof that taking the antibiotics to the end does anything and may in fact help breed the resistant bugs. Of course, you can probably find 100 studies from each side of that debate, but this is where I am on it. The only reason I would tell someone to take them all is to be sure they kill the bug rather than stop taking them too early and stay sick longer than they have to. I suppose the general idea on one side of the question is to try to kill as many pathogens as possible even after symptoms are gone, lowering chances there will be some left with higher drug resistance to reproduce. The general idea on the other side I suppose is that you've got a huge number of bacteria in your system at all times; they can interchange DNA; so why breed drug resistance into any part of that population? This is when you get good scientific questions, when there are logical, factually supported arguments for multiple courses of action.

The bacteria left to reestablish the infection would be the ones with some degree of antibiotic resistance, so two aspects of the same thing.

Check Twitter. I don't need your fix. I personally think what was said was intelligent, but perhaps not in a way that you liked. Let me see if I can put what our friends like @esldude, @wgscott, @marce, etc., are concerned about in a way that will allow you to have more insight into what they (and I) are thinking. I want to talk about something off-topic first, vaccination and people who think it's a bad thing. As with 5G, there are some (though not many, and not mainstream) scientists and doctors who say vaccination is bad for various reasons. There is science both at the individual level (debunking the various ways people have said vaccines cause injury or disease) and at the population level (studies of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children in California and Denmark, a total of 1,500,000 kids) showing vaccines do not cause harm. Yet in the age of the internet, bogus anti-vaccination information is widespread enough that for example, just slightly more than half the US population bothers to get a flu shot, and in 2017 80,000 people in this country died of influenza. Can you imagine if there were an Ebola epidemic in the US, tens of thousands were dying, and a vaccine was developed? You would need guns to keep people from breaking into the places where it was manufactured. So now 5G: Despite some (though not many, and not mainstream) scientists who say 5G is harmful, there is science both at the individual level (debunking the ways people have said 5G radio waves cause harm) and at the population level (cell phones were invented in 1973, and have only recently become ubiquitous - do we have hundreds of millions of times more brain cancer?) showing it does not cause harm. Now perhaps fear of 5G or other cell phone communication is not so harmful as fear of vaccines. On the other hand, I can certainly imagine disadvantages or even harm resulting from people putting themselves out of reach of rapid emergency communication, fast internet for the kids, etc. marce, wgscott, esldude and 2 others 2 1 2 One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.

But of course it would have had to - why is this surprising (though perhaps this paper wasn't aimed at saying that)? Unless you were Barbara McClintock in later years or James A. Shapiro, you aren't pushing for bacteria as little smock-wearing chemists with the group intelligence to know what direction to evolve in. So something similar to the current ability to evolve antibiotic resistance would have to exist in bacterial genomes already (perhaps as a defense against natural fungal antibiotics?).

Jud Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 42 minutes ago, AudioDoctor said: yeah, I quoted this once, I am doing it again. To me this makes their god small and just like them. God (big G) is capable of creating a system that evolves within the set of parameters that science is trying to make sense of. I have no idea why anyone would think that if a being as powerful as God exists any of this is beyond his control, or that he needs to be making quadrillions of decisions every second of every day for every atom on earth. Who would want that responsibility? Also, it goes against free will. You either have it or you don't. If Gods making the decisions you don't. If you have free will, he isn't. Take your pick and stick with it. ok, evangelical christian rant over. Yeah, why no one ever thinks through to the self-contradiction (intelligent design relies on evolution being impossible, but what's impossible for an omniscient, omnipotent deity?), I don't know. The other aspect of this is that fundamentally non-deterministic physics (quantum mechanics) is an odd way to run a universe for a deity who supposedly envisioned humans when he was sticking little outboard motors on bacteria's behinds.

LOL kidding, a line of sight, directed energy radio transmission, meaning its beamed straight at the other drone, not broadcast in every direction. They can even allegedly break up the workload amongst each other. Could be more sophisticated. A friend developed a radar system for the DoD and adapted it to cancer treatment (for which he has a patent), and it seems to me it might be adapted to drone or other communication as well.

If you send infrared toward the tumor location from outside the body, the tissue along the path to the tumor is heated too - not good. What this does is use multiple beams so they interfere and combine in a way that only heats the tissue at the tumor location itself.
