Re: Post Antibiotic era

With regards to the development of new antibiotics I found this BBC article from January. Let's hope the Boston scientists have been making good progress since. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-30657486 The fact that there had been no new antibiotics since the 80s seems like an awful long time for t...

Re: fish antibiotics for humans

Has anyone heard of or used a site called trustedonlinepills for buying antibiotics? Any idea if they are selling legit meds? There seems to be several similar sites out there but don't want to fall victim to a scam or waste money on fake pills. Thanks

Re: Hi, from the rainy NW.

Hello,

I used to live in Helensurgh too and my OH was also based at Faslane (marines). That was about 10 years ago now. I liked Helensburgh. It was quiet but a nice town.
