This book takes up a serious, alarming but not so discussed issue. The fact that the antibiotics are not working due to its excessive use and abuse leading to 100 % disease and antibiotic resistance is to be seriously pondered by one and all. Professor Dame compares this problem with climate change to make us know the intensity of the problem.
In various developing countries these antibiotics have become a quick fix to circumvent the water, sanitation and hygiene problems and professor has brought this put very well in her book.
This is a must read for anyone who is concerned about drugs and heath of the society.

The Drugs Don't Work - A Penguin Special by Professor Dame Sally Davies, the Chief Medical Officer for England If we fail to act, we are looking at an almost unthinkable scenario where antibiotics no longer work and we are cast back into the dark ages of medicine where treatable infections and injuries will kill once again (David Cameron, Prime Minister) Antibiotics add, on average, twenty years to our lives. For over seventy years, since the manufacture of penicillin in 1943, we have survived extraordinary operations and life-threatening infections. We are so familiar with these wonder drugs that we take them for granted. The truth is that we have been abusing them: as patients, as doctors, as travellers, in our food. No new class of antibacterial has been discovered for twenty six years and the bugs are fighting back. If we do not take responsibility now, in a few decades we may start dying from the most commonplace of operations and ailments that can today be treated easily. This short book, which will be enjoyed by readers of An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore and Bad Pharma by Ben Goldacre, will be the subject of a TEDex talk given by Professor Dame Sally Davies at the Royal Albert Hall. Professor Dame Sally C. Davies is the Chief Medical Officer for England and the first woman to hold the post. As CMO she is the independent advisor to the Government on medical matters with particular interest in Public Health and Research. She holds a number of international advisory positions and is an Emeritus Professor at Imperial College. Dr Jonathan Grant is a Principal Research Fellow and former President at RAND Europe, a not-for-profit public policy research institute. His main research interests are on health R&D policy and the use of research and evidence in policymaking. He was formerly Head of Policy at The Wellcome Trust. He received his PhD from the Faculty of Medicine, University of London, and his B.Sc. (Econ) from the London School of Economics. Professor Mike Catchpole is an internationally recognized expert in infectious diseases and the Director of Infectious Disease Surveillance and Control at Public Health England. He has coordinated many national infectious disease outbreak investigations and is an advisor to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. He is also a visiting professor at Imperial College.

Everybody should read this book especially those in the medical profession

This book proved to be a very interesting and enlightening read… It was very clear and informative without being full of technobabble so for the general public it doesn't go over one's head. It looks at why we should all be concerned about how antibiotics are used and how this may well lead to them eventually becoming ineffective in treating many diseases that they used to treat previously or are still able to treat at present. It touches on a lot of reasons for this e.g. the food industry giving antibiotics to animals in the food chain, antibiotics being prescribed by doctors like Smarties, patients requesting antibiotics for simple little things, patients being put on a course of antibiotics and not taking the complete course, antibiotics being watered down by some countries & the greed of pharmaceuticals who are more interested in watching their profit margins then carrying out research and development in this area…
We can do simple things for ourselves to try and help the situation which the author tells us about in her book like for example with regards to cleanliness and hygiene, after going to the toilet the author says:
"In order to kill off the bugs, all it takes is fifteen to twenty seconds of vigorous hand-washing with soap and water – this is about how long it takes to sing ‘Happy Birthday to You’ twice through."
This book is well worth reading.

Book Review
2013年10月28日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Actually drugs do work your wording is a little confusing but the story is quite interesting to say the least drugs are addictive to a great many I have a friend who is addicted to a pain suppressing drug and refuses to admit he has this problem however the story on drugs don't work is convincing, read with an open mind and seeing both the Doctors reasoning trying to make the patient comfortable and get the next patient comfortable and the drug company with there billion dollar business lobbying to sell there drugs
then if the drugs don't work who gives a shit. It's for the money, Honey, it makes the world go around.
Have a nice day. Pete

"We are losing the battle against infectious disease."
2013年10月6日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This Kindle short explains that are arising from our misuse of medications against bacterial, viral, and fungal infection. With the over use both in medicine and in the raising of animals for meat, we have allowed resistant organisms to develop that may, and probably will, cause their lack of effectiveness. This is not a work that has been "dumbed down" and the theories are well backed with citations. It is not an easy read, but an important one. We have had fairly wide exposure to the idea of MRSA, the staph infection no longer susceptible to first line treatment, but it tends to only gain vibrancy if and when it threatens our own world. This book clarifies the point that that time is rapidly upon us.

Very scary book - Good but incomplete
2013年9月28日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
We are living in very precarious times and Professor Dame Sally Davies's short book (with co-authors) highlights another great danger we face, and one that we usually prefer not to contemplate. That is, the growing rise of drug-resistant strains of infections and infectious diseases, which are increasing to a point where all our current antimicrobial medications ("antibiotic" is a misnomer apparently) will eventually fail. She points out that no new class of antibiotic has been put on the market since 1987 (short-life of products making investment untenable/ unprofitable) and 20 to 30 years from now she believes we could be facing catastrophe. Sally begins the book by painting a very frightening scenario of this catastrophe for those infected - numerous isolation hospitals, forced isolation in sealed rooms, no outcome but death. For those not infected, there would be strict societal control. So her book is a call to action, a call which I see the CDC in the Sates is also now promoting.
Dame Sally, who is Chief Medical Officer for England, outlines a number of possible ways forward: International treaties involving population-wide education on personal hygiene, curbing the routine use of antibiotics, stopping over the counter sales of antibiolitcs (many countries sell OTC antibiotics) and international co-operation with drug companies to come up with new drugs, providing them with partnerships and significant incentives to do this. There is also much further scientific work to be done on rapid testing of infective microbes to establish very quickly what drug will be effective (or not). The current priority is to curb the use of antibiotics where they will not be effective, both in humans and in animals, to eliminate them from routine animal feed and (I can't remember if she mentions this one) crop spraying.
This is a frightening book and one that everyone needs to read. What it doesn't deal with though, is how humans can get themselves into better shape so their immune systems can resist and fight off infections (as many people did before the introduction of antibiotics in the 1940s - not every infection then was a death sentence). This unwritten part could be a look at how individuals can care for their immune systems and what society needs to do in terms of pollutants that may negatively impact on human immune systems. Inevitably (to me), the self-care of the immune system would mean looking at diet, sunlight, the right sort of exercise and natural ways to cope with infection such as rest and taking antimicrobial herbs and immune boosting plants, minerals & vitamins. We are already in deep trouble with nature and all manufactured antimicrobials will eventually fail as the book points out. Plants and herbs have been successfully fighting off microbial assaults on them for thousands if not millions of years and are not likely to become resistant. The book does not deal with this latter topic in any way, but to me the whole area of managing antibiotic resistance is incomplete without it.
