Gonorrhoea becoming untreatable, health experts warn

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-18258775



The number of newly diagnosed cases of gonorrhoea in England soared by 25% in 2011 amid fears that the sexual infection is becoming untreatable.

There have been cases in Japan and Europe of infections that resist first-choice therapies.

The Health Protection Agency said the threat of gonorrhoea was "very concerning".

It said there was a 2% overall rise in the number of new sexually transmitted infections diagnosed in 2011.

If those gays weren't getting married in more and more places, people would not be getting infected with gonorrhea. It is all the gays' fault!!!

Sarcasm.......

I wonder if essential oils could work on this where traditional medicine may not?

I have a friend who had HPV positive tests for years - I did some research (I work with therapeutic grade essential oils) and came up with several blends - she made her own decision and tried them, and got tested recently. Negative. No HPV in any strain. And the HPV tests had been positive for over 8 years; now - negative on everything.

I used to be a skeptic on essential oils, but I have seen too many positive outcomes to doubt the power of the true, therapeutic grade oils, and I believe that we may see breakthroughs in natural medicine, once we understand that not all answers to dis-ease can be found in a lab.

Respectfully,
Annette
