Remember, speaking in general, clinicians have no common sense about preventive medicine and cost savings.....that is what spawned HMOs. Things might be changing. Now if there was a safe product to work in synergy with antibiotics. Think of money saved IF you can kill bugs RAPIDLY AND EFFECTIVELY.....NOTICE WORDING "START EARLY" IT'S THE PREVENTION.......It is the cost savings down the line IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE. DO you have any idea the cost per day in ICU???? Any idea of savings in suffering and damage to patients that have to endure prolonged high doses of Genta and Vanco??? Imagine an alternative where a patient might not have to languish in ICU for days or weeks hooked up to Vanco or Genta SLOWLY fighting off gram neg bugs. Think of the elderly, surgically compromised or immune compromised patients. Could there be some product that is safe that could be added to Genta or Vanco??? Now let's talk BARRIERS AND BACTERIAL INFECTIONS!!!!!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>: Surg Clin North Am 2000 Jun;80(3):895-909, ix-x Books
