A patient is rapidly dying of an overwhelming massive bacterial infection in a big city hospital.
All the doctors (along with the patient and their family) have only two choices of what to inject (and only a few hours to do so) if they hope to save the patient.
Door A is a relatively new man-made chemical produced in a former paint factory.
It must be given in massive doses and it has frequent serious side effects and it only slows the rate of reproduction of the few bacteria that it does affect.
Door B is an all-natural anti-bacterial agent that has been around for millions of years, needs only tiny amounts to be effective , is completely non-toxic and kills a wide variety of bacteria stone cold.
Which medicine would tend to be picked up and used based on the limited amount of information I have given ?
In 1942 ?
In 2012 ?
