I agree that antibiotics are way over used and doctors need to stop relenting to the pressure of patients and not prescribe it, for conditions it's not meant to treat. I also agree that antibiotics aren't the only thing wrong with our food supply. Much of our food is contaminated with glyphosate, which is the main ingredient in Round Up. So much of our food has been modified to the point of not only being unhealthy, it's downright dangerous.

Our 5 month old cat was attacked by dogs on Christmas day. She is an outdoor cat. We were able to save her. There are no vets in the area of the world where we are living.

Her head is swollen and her jaw dislocated, or at least I think so. I also think she has a concussion. Sounds like liquid or blood squishing if you touch it. She cannot eat or drink.

However other dangerous factors in food can affect the production of ACHA quite seriously such as additives, preservatives, stabilizers, coloring, antibiotics, hormone products eaten by livestock or fruits and vegetables sprayed by fertilizers and pesticides. ACHA's work is to make the LDL molecules direclty utilizable for the organism, it does not need a co-factor to bound, ACHA molecules are bounding to the cholesterols ß-OH-ligands.
