Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 I totally agree with you Zev and Ken on this matter. I read in the paper today that antibotics will be ineffective by the year 2015 according to a recent study. Your suggestion of to start training more students in the theory and prescriptions of Wen Bing/Warm Disease is an important one. I also read in the paper today that there is a flu epidemic thats going to sweep across Europe and the US in the coming months. This may well cause additional problems as the SARS virus may be masked as chronic flu.
