Saving Lives with Phage Therapy Two

One of the major advantage of phage over antibiotics is that a phage only kills type of bacteria. A Antibiotic can kill a wide range of bacteria, the bacteria that make us sick along with the bacteria that are beneficial.
The bacteria in your gut help you in many ways. Bacteria can help you digest food, assist your immune system and some believe it can regulate your weight. A disease called C.Diff comes about when people have been given a lot of antibiotics also fungal diseases can occur after a person is treated with antibiotics.Last year 14,000 people died in the United States from C. Diff.
Another problem with antibiotics is that they can cause serious side effects. Phage Therapy has no serious side effects,
I have started a campaign on to raise money for the purpose of funding drug trials to bring phage therapy to market.To finding out more go to after noon on Monday
I will write a short piece on page therapy every day till the campaign is over

Saving Lives with Phage Therapy

When I started this blog I stated that I wanted to start a non profit to further the use of Phage Therapy to take the place of antibiotics. Sense then the problem of antibiotics resistant bacteria has gotten worse. The World Health Organization stated that in the future antibiotics would be worthless with the advent of totally antibiotic resistant bacteria.
In Nature there are two main ways that bacteria are kept in check. Some Organism’s produce poisons, that we call antibiotics, to kill off bacteria, Bacteriophage (Phage for short) also kill bacteria. Because we have misused antibiotics by over prescribing them and using them to make livestock grow faster the bacteria have mutated into forms that are resistant to antibiotics, The advantage of using bacteriophage is that they also mutate. They can change so that they can continue to be effective at killing bacteria.
Drug companies have not been willing to do drug trials on Bacteriophage because of Questions as to weather they can be patented which leaves two ways to bring them to market. One is By a Non-profit and the other is by government spending.
My goal is to start a non-profit to pay for drug trials and to bring them to market. I've Started a campaign to raise money to start a non-profit for this purpose oa Indiegogo It will start Monday at Noon.
https://igg.me/at/you-can-save-lives This will not be active untill Monday Noon.

I will write something about phage therapy every day this month until the campaign is over.
