    Saw a documentary about phage therapy some 30 years ago. At a party I told a pharmacist about it and he said it wouldn’t work. He hadn’t even looked into it. This is how science doesn’t progress: because of people’s inertia to embrace new paradigms.
  • It wasnt "God's cruel joke" it was Gods love and grace for his creation. He used the perfect woman to rediscover the perfect cure. Makes perfect sense to me. God works like this all the time.

    As a 74 yo physician who first encountered super bug, this is awesome. My son was traveling in Thailand, bitten by mosquito, got MERSA, access. Had traveled to Uganda where British doctor took out the packing put in at hospital in Thailand, injected bee honey, and it cured him!

    The problem continues with pharmaceutical-laced feed in our food supply.

    Phage therapy was not forgotten about for a hundred years in Russia or Eastern Europe.
  • @ewinbarnett9411
    The real story is why the regulatory community was almost hostile to phage therapies for so many decades.

    🤯 Mind blown. Nursed for 40 years, this is news to me. God speed you and your research.
  • 😮 Wow !!! I see this video is from 4 years ago. It should be world news ! I so hope your project is growing and helping people.
  • This should be studied, use the tax-payers money on that, instead of gain o function.

    There's not a lot of people on this planet who could have pulled of what you have. Your husband getting ill is a blessing to the world.
  • Crikey! I am teary at your brilliant success. I hope everyone recovers well in the long term too. ❤.

    Oh wow let’s hope the medical field take this on board. I’m afraid if big pharmacy can’t make money out of a cure they are reluctant to allow its use.
  • @rogerdeacon5878
    Yes phage therapy has been largely ignored in the west...but not by Russia and some other eastern nations
  • @cbryanto
    d'Herelle should get recognition like the Nobel prize.

    Praise God! He has given everything in nature to aid in our well being. We are fearfully and wonderfully made!
