MP urges Hunt to consider herbal solutions to drug resistance

The Conservative MP and natural health supporter David Tredinnick has called on the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, to consider herbal solutions to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.

During questions in the House of Commons, the MP for Bosworth said: “Does my right honourable friend agree that a critical problem that A&E units will face in the future is antibiotic resistance? Is he aware that the Science and Technology Committee, of which I am a member, has been looking at this issue. Can he assure me that he talking to the Prime Minister about how to stimulate new antibiotic research, and will he remember that nature has its own remedies?”
