However, the misuse and overuse of antibiotics have led to an alarming global crisis: Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). This man-made disaster threatens the future of healthcare, making once-treatable infections deadly again. Addressing AMR requires awareness, collective action, and a shift in how we use antibiotics.  In this episode, Dr Vignesh and Dr Ranga Reddy Burri give a breakdown of the crisis, its causes, and the urgent need for sustainable solutions. Key topics discussed in this episode are: AMR: The Silent Pandemic  The Silent Drives of AMR Antibiotics: The two-edged Sword  AMR in the West and in India Need to build an new ecosystem Timestamps 00:00 - 07:09: The Silent Pandemic approaching us 07:09 - 15:16: What is AMR?  15:16 - 27:15: What’s accelerating AMR? 27:15 - 31:47: Government dealing with AMR 31:47 - 39:57: The way forward with antibiotics  39:57 - 46:26: Build an new ecosystem 46:26 - 58:50: AMR in the West vs India 58:50 - 01:02:11: Is it too late to reverse AMR? 01:02:11- 01:06:43: Conclusion Dr Vignesh Devraj  If you are interested in doing one on one Ayurvedic consultation with Dr Vignesh Devraj please find the details in this link:  https://calendly.com/drvignesh/30-minute-session-with-dr-vignesh-devraj-md-ay-ist If you are economically challenged, please use the form provided to request a free Ayurvedic consultation here.  (or copy paste this in your browser:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd29nHcrC1RssR-6WAqWCWQWKKJo7nGcEm8ITEl2-ErcnfVEg/viewform ) BALANCE THE MIGHTY VATA - ONLINE COURSE NOW AVAILABLE  What makes Ayurveda unique in its treatment approach is its practical wisdom on the concept of Vata.
