Biggest disease that penicillin conquered

....was not SBE, Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis, as important as it was and as important as it was to Martin Henry Dawson.

I am not writing my account of the Penicillin Saga because it conquered SBE.

I am going after much bigger game.

The dreadful disease I think NATURAL penicillin conquered in 1944 was Modernity.

I think today's GREEN movement can trace some of its beginnings to that blue green penicillium mold's triumph against the best efforts of man to recreate everything natural in an artificial form, merely because they could.

Defeating Modernity was the best thing natural penicillin ever did.

That's why I am writing this work - that's why I do what I do....
