Are you saying that the USA medical society has informed other countries
medical societies that Bleomycin and Doxorubicin are not antibiotics? The
USA does NOT want another country to discover an Adriamycin mutant germ that
could also be antitumor and antiviral!

In 1994, I had a blood test that flagged my cholesterol abnormal. I assume
that you know that there are bacteria that consume Cholesterol, Iron,
everything imaginable.
My HDL Cholesterol was Low, and the LDL was normal, which made
the ratio 6.5.
The blood test page also had a chart, which had the above average as
5.0-6.1, which made mine an off-the-chart-figure. My white blood
cells were 8.4, which a 6 figure was normal for me. I felt that I had a
bacterial problem, and I also felt that the professional should have pointed
out the extremely high cholesterol figure. Anyway I paid for another
office visit so that the doctor could explain the abnormality.
To make a lengthy conversation short,
there are no known antibiotics to fight the cholesterol consuming bacterial,
and it was a condition that I would simply have to live with.

When my friend was going to the University of Michigan for medical tests, I
went with her. So couldn't afford to purchase all her medical records, one
doctor wanted $60 for the test copy. She couldn't afford it and the medical
visit too. She wanted me to go with her to take notes. When you're sick,
it's hard to remember everything. Basically my notes had two things:
1) Doctor said, "I wish I had a copy" referring to the test that she didn't
purchase. 2) You have stupid toes. The doctor actually said that!

I feel that the insurance companies and Medicare would save a lot of medical
test moneys if the patient had all his/her medical records. Anyway while my
friend was having tests and test re-dos,
I had heard that they gave a Tuberculosis vaccine.
I had also heard that it was inferior, since the BCG was never used in the
USA. While I was waiting for my friend, I asked for the TB vaccine.
I had to make an appointment and when I returned, I had to bring my
passport, so that they could decide if I needed one. I don't have a
passport. I decided not to get a passport so that I could purchase an
inferior product. My brain isn't that stupid.

The bacterial-family that caused Tuberculosis was a problem with Michigan
people and animals. Hubby used to work with a farmer that had butchered his
herd because they were infected. When the condition was a noticeable
problem, it was also noticed that it would bankrupt many farmers, if the
beef weren't sent to market. The farmer was actually told by the Health
Department worker a blind-eye would appear, and it was recommended that the
animals be shipped to market. That farmer felt that it was morally wrong to
sell tainted beef. Many others simply couldn't afford the lost.

Even today, every now and then, a tuberculosis-infected animal will make the
news.

Michigan TB sanatoriums were like casinos, offering Jobs. Children were
treated to death. When a medical person does it, it's usually said that the
child didn't respond well.
