I have a serious eye pathology and I hate you, guys. Really, dark mode makes it possible for me to work.


This guy is so qt and nice.


Bullshit. I need dark theme and I don't care about "brands" nor "identity". Stop burning my eyes please.


I think a dark theme is the one thing Gnome supports aside from the default.


You don't need nanorobots.

You may just pick old soviet vaccines and resolve this particular problem (see my other post in this topic).

Also there are a lot of great antibiotics (see epimerox) which still aren't on the market because of many different reasons.


I'm russian. And for me this article sounds completely idiotic - phage research was always ongoing in SU and literally everyone is aware of the alternative to antibiotics. At the moment there are lab networks available across all the modern russia where you may take a test and find a best phage to your bacterias. One of several mass-produced phages.

Moreover, if you dig into soviet medicine, you may find several awesome things. At the moment there are _two_ widely available st.aureus vaccines in russia. For those who work with farm animals. These vaccines may be used for both prevention and treatment. I've used them for myself to treat multiple-antibiotic resistant st.aureus infection and got rid of it.

The other interesting thing is a synhetic analogue of thymopoietin - an incredible immune stimulant which may in multiple cases help you to deal with an infection without antibiotics.

Unfortunately, russian doctors are idiots and russian medicine is almost dead and noone is interested in any stuff from there.

I, personally, regret that we didn't hear any news about epimerox - that only substance would solve 80% of our problems with bacterias, including multi-resistent ones.


Is it possible to order some to the EU? I'm having unfortunate combination of staph infection+ ciprofloxacin intolerance.


I guess it's not. But you may ask a russian pharmacy to prepare two boxes for you then visit the country and pick the order. The names in russian are: "антифагин стафилококковый" and "анатоксин стафилококковый очищенный адсорбированный". In case you decide go this way I would suggest you to use second one according to "blood donor" scheme (3 shots of 2ml, one ml into each shoulderblade, with 2 week intervals) and increase all dosages for the first one for 0.2ml (so, ten shot in ten days, one shot each day, starting from 0.3ml and ending with 1.2). You may use insulin syringe for first one, for second one you would need some assistance and usual syringe but in worst case you may use insulin one too.

Disclaimer: consult your doctor first, it's just a random advice from internets, blah-blah.



These things (st. vaccinces) are mostly unknown to usual russian doctors, they are produced for farm workers. A typical therapist wouldn't prescribe you that stuff - they are not aware of their existence. Again - russians doctors are idiots, but there is some amazing soviet legacy you may greatly benefit from. And you don't _really_ need a prescription to buy the stuff.
