I only need to lose about one size, but it's difficult. Of course, if we were willing to go through what @perchie.girl has been through, we would be skinny indeed.

I can understand the FDA not allowing factory farms to use antibiotics on a daily, prophylactic basis. I don't think it's right to ban the sale of all antibiotics. I still have my suspicions that it's not really about the animals at all.

It is about the dollar same as when the Veterinarian decided to limit what tech could do
it was they could charge more keep more

It could be. But we have very frightening problems with the germs winning over antibiotics, faster than they can invent new ones. And I don't know any vets who don't have enough to do. It takes weeks to get an appointment. But other than the misuse of antibiotics, I'm not sure what would cause this change.

For what its worth I went from a 5x to a 2x after loosing almost 100 pounds. This means my older smaller clothes in storage are too big.

I did see an article yesterday about people using fish antibiotics on themselves. :-0

I've seen it for sale in survivalists type catalogs.. Whatever works I guess. Heard dw's farmer uncle has always used cow penicillin for his family they're all still alive lol. I'm glad we have good health ins though I myself can't think of anytime I've had to take antibiotics. I believe in George Carlins healthy method , lick the garbage can top and harden you're immune system Lol!

I've been prescribed antibiotics a number of times. I've been surprised at how complex the decision has become. Different germs respond to different antibiotics, and if they stop responding, the doctor doesn't just throw darts at a dartboard. There are specific protocols. Sometimes they have to test you to see exactly which germ is making you sick.

So I think DIY antibiotic choice is very risky, and undoubtedly contributing to the mess we are in with drug-resistant bacteria.

Anyone else get Disney+ ?
Heard many having probs but been working great here, no probs. Seen some good old movies. Kinda disappointed Rascal wasn't on it but I heard they are going to swap out and add kinda like Netflix does, so maybe some day.
'Blackbeards Ghost' really cracked me up when he was shooting the bad guys with his finger gun I've never seen that one before that I can remember.
Haven't seen the original Herbie the love bug movies since I was a kid, they're next. That's one movie car I've always wanted to make a replica of, with air lift shocks. Not into the air lift cars but always thought it would be awesome on a Herbie VW car. And they are not too hard to find cheap.

Yrs of over prescription for whatever ails us doesn't help, antibiotics for a cold or any many other viruses does nothing. Its been just recently that they've tried to reign in overprescripting.
