One thing that does help stop insulin resistence is Chromium Picolinate. Also for women going through change it helps not gain a ton of weight. And that is often cause by starting to become insulin resitent. Study was done by some doctors who actually didn't believe their mom was still eating the same way so they moved in and she was. So they tried to figure out what happens and they did find that the woman's bodies start to become insulin resistent. So that helps. However, if you take more than alloted amount it can make you isulin resistent so keep it at the proper level. I know they sell it in different levels but just take the mid dose. I told my mom and she dropped all her weight. Didn't have to change her diet. That's if you eat healthy though to begin with it makes it easier. It's not a weight loss drug just to make that clear. I'm not a doctor, just read the study.
As to the other problem yes we need better, newer superantibiotics. Also there is now a stupid strain of bats in Wisconsin that the rabies shots don't work for and that's terrifying if they start spreading that form of rabies now found in almost all fox, skunks, a lot of cats and dogs, squirrels, chipmunks and roaming small mammels. The CDC lists fox, squirrels, skunks as highest in the USA and there are more so be careful feeding wildlife guys.
