I have the 1992 version speicically to avoid the updates, but even the 1992 version relies in the main on antibiotics. I updated a "food safe" career skills course in 2010 and the instructor was a post-doc from the local hospital. He said that year there had been 7 people die - in that hospital - from what should have been antibiotic treatable infections. He said there were only really a handful of antibiotics that still work, from the dozens that used to, and that at this rate there'd be none that really work sooner rather than later. I think he estimated between 10 - 20 years, and here we are.
I've since been keeping ears and eyes open to alternatives, if anyone would like to share reasources of our antibiotic resistant future?
This one is cool, though I'd like to see it made with copper rather than silver: (ceramic low-tech water filter) https://wiki.lowtechlab.org/wiki/Filtre_%C3%A0_eau_c%C3%A9ramique/en
