Yesterday's admission by Britain's Chief Medical Officer Dame Sally Davies should send shock waves through the world medical community  and the international drug industry. The war between man and microbe is being lost to the superbug. Antibiotics no longer work. Or at least they are becoming less and less effective in the treatment and control of disease. 

85 years after Fleming's discovery of penicillin western medical practice has bellied up like a dead fish in polluted waters. The analogy has relevance to ecology and the environment. In 1928 Fleming's wonder-drug was hailed as a major breakthrough for medical science. Antibiotics became the Holy Grail of western medicine, providing an almighty safety-net against disease and infection. A proliferation of synthetic compounds (drugs) spiraled into today's multi-billion-dollar pharmaceutical industry, which soon became the backbone of the medical profession, the panacea for all ailments, and the universal answer to disease control and eradication. 

Less than a century later the safety-net has bottomed out. Drug resistance was not factored into the prognosis. Scant attention was given to the immune system and the body's innate ability to reject malignant organisms. 

The World Health Organisation (WHO) attempted to eradicate malaria by spraying DDT in the developing world in the 1950s - not taking into account that the mosquito has probably been around longer than man on the planet.The poisonous compound DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) resulted in more loss of life than prevention of illness. It entered the food chain, contaminated the environment, altered animal, plant and human life,  and transformed the mosquito into a super-resistant purveyor of disease.The WHO also tried to eradicate polio, rickets, tuberculosis and other diseases that have returned with alarming vigor and virulence. Medical boffins are forced to admit that we may be fast-tracking back to the Dark Ages where the simplest operation can have fatal consequences. The threat of infection is less preventable than before, and the human immune system has taken a severe beating in the last 50 years through massive abuses of the world's environmental and eco-systems. Modern medicine (like the banking system) duped millions into believing it was a fail-safe option, only to be revealed as dodgy 'practice' based on trial and error. Once again man's effort's to play God have come up short - with disastrous consequences for world health, Nature and quality of life on planet earth. 

The West is slowly  awakening to the fact that modern medicine has been built on a shaky foundation: the assumption that drugs would always beat bugs. But antibiotics are anti-life. Literally. And life is based on holistic principles. While 'alternative' healers - the Sebis, Ssalis, Chopras, Babus, Baggas, Drobos, Afrikas, at al have been grossly maligned, marginalised and persecuted, Western medicine  (hand in glove with the pharmaceutical industry) has promised miraculous cures which it is now tragically unable to deliver. On the contrary world health has nosedived since the 1960s.  

Pandemics are on the rise: heart disease, stroke, obesity, fibroids, diabetes, impotence, mental disorder and the big "C". Dame Sally Davies openly  acknowledges that "many cancer treatments can cause  weakened immune systems", rendering patients vulnerable to a range of illnesses or life-long dependency on medication. Inoculation has been outed as  dangerous and life-threatening. AIDS is  the first disease to be defined by its effect rather than its cause: immune deficiency. It has either been genetically engineered  or processed into being through long-term systemic malfunction - or both. Invasive techniques such as pills, injections, sprays, scans, surgery and chemotherapy have waged war on the human body. Perhaps for the first time in human history sickness has overtaken well-being as the 'unnatural' state of mankind. 

But rather than review the misdirection of modern medicine a desperate search for new drugs will obtain. This will involve billions of pounds worth of investment in research, experimentation and trials that will take years to come up with the next miracle cure. Serial gamblers are like a runaway train. They gather speed and can't be turned round until they crash. In the meantime harmful organisms will  multiply and become stronger in relation to the weakening human condition.  Countless millions of lives will be lost. The overall quality of life will be ruined for new generations hooked on prescriptive drugs  - just like our planet  -  haemorrhaging  under the weight of oppressive stewardship and exploitation for  half a millennium.

The world health outlook is decidedly bleak. We need to turn a corner. Fast. What has been mis-termed as 'alternative' medicine needs to be reclassified as the salvation of a sick world.  The margins need to move towards the centre. Moral rectitude is the spine of the human condition. When  this goes things fall apart. Dreadfully. Traditions  of beneficence that are locked into mother earth and Nature still hold the key to our well-being in the global village. If they are not nurtured, cherished, treasured and revived, we risk not just our common health, but our privileged status as an order of beings fit for longevity, freedom, divinity, the pursuit and attainment of happiness and fulfillment.
