Bayer Challenges Ban on Poultry Antibiotic
planetc1.com-news email to the editor

According to an MSNBC news report, Bayer Corp. has challenged the Food and Drug Administration for attempting to ban an antibiotic used in chickens which reportedly, results in people becoming sick as a result of antibiotic resistant bacteria.

The FDA attempt was made in October and the antibiotic in question is called Baytril, according to the MSNBC report. Baytril is one drug in a group of antibiotics known as fluoroquinolones. The FDA believes that fluoroquinolones are one of the many drugs responsible for the rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to reports.

According to the FDA, mutating bacteria that are increasingly becoming resistant to antibiotic treatment are a growing health threat to humans. Antibiotic resistance develops when antibiotics are abused or overused, either by people or by animals.

From our October report on this topic:
Who is affected most by these drug-laden animal products? The articles state that the antibiotic use "could be life-threatening to the elderly, to children and to people with depressed immune systems."

They will put drugs in your food, drugs in your water, drugs in your pets, and drugs in your children. A depressed immune system is something you definitely do not want.

You have been doing things to strengthen your immune system haven't you?
