That is certainly possible, but OTOH I think that prophylactic antibiotics such as those given to factory farmed animals are likely to have caused bacterial resistance to antibiotics in the 20th C and that the effect is real, for example MRSA, resistant c.diff and e.coli. I think we need to re introduce treatments like iodine or silver as first line treatments for infection, and elderberry and zinc for colds, and keep the more specific drugs for second line.
Since we have been lied to so much that I am prepared to be wrong on the subject of resistance,
I agree with you and in relation to zinc , vitamins and many anti microbials the Pharma industry may be happy that say 80% of the population is in their hands for ever and that within the other 20% are the free thinkers who they would never convert.
A relative works in a branch of medicine and they have told me that every year the thumb screws are tightened on the ability to use traditional forms of chemicals.
The latest example, phenol can no longer be sold in its liquid form.
It has now been repackaged as single use type swabs. The cost is about 100 times the price of the traditional bottle per ml.
I expect that if the pharma industry carries on along its destructive path it is only a matter of time before they find ways to restrict zinc, silver copper etc to their repackaged products.
