Or what an army of pigs being fed the pill "just in case" can cook up.

Last year I was hospitalized and quarantined for Tuberculosis, which is fairly strong against antibiotics so the antibiotic therapy is 6 months long (minimum), and that's precisely how I was treated, by combining first 4 then 2 antibiotics in order to prevent the bacteria from developing resistance, but you're right, it's super bad for your liver, I've seen heavy alcoholic patients in the same ward that were refused…
What's the best way to allow the liver to recover after such heavy medication?
AFAIK once the liver is that gone, only a liver transplant can save you.

Don't drink alcohol. Drink water. Eat healthy, not too much, mostly plants.
> mostly plants. This is in general good advice, but in the context of healing the liver plants are generally the type of poison your liver exists to filter in the first place, so a meat heavy diet is likely better. Of course you are trading longer term cardiovascular health for short term liver healing so don't do this for long, but if your liver is very damaged avoid plants as well for a short term.
Aside from the other comment on fiber (which can always be supplemented without fresh greens if concern is phytotoxins)... Given the evidence for impact of neu5gc on liver, maybe watch out what types of meat you are consuming too, and avoid mammals.

Please don't take HN threads on generic flamewar tangents. I'm sure that wasn't your intent, but we got a religious flamewar out of this. Those get predictably worse as they go along, so it's important not to seed them.

As we see an exponential grow or the human population, shouldn’t your estimation for v2 be pondered compared to v1 development?
I dont think you understand the word exponential.
I think I do but I made the common mistake of mismatching exponential with accelerated growth.
My interrogation hold : aren’t bacteria infections quantity (and therefore duplication and mutation) influenced by the growing number of host?

You need to get very significant amount of liver damage to the point scar formation already occured. Without constant damage and scarring liver tissue heals over time.
