By Tyler Durden The next time a new pandemic is needed to trigger trillions more in QE, a perfect delivery mechanism is already available. Walmart has voluntarily recalled 3,900 bottles of an aromatherapy spray sold in 55 stores across 18 states after it identified a…
By GreenMedInfo Research Group Probiotics, green tea and honey are examples of “ancientbiotics” — natural compounds that have been used for centuries to address the overgrowth of opportunistic bacteria, and that have scientifically validated antibacterial (i.e. microbiome improving) properties that are valued to this day….
By Robert Wheeler While everyone else was focusing on the spread of COVID-19 and the civil liberty/economic fallout of the crisis, many news stories went unnoticed in 2020. Ironically, many of them had to do with viruses and the possibility of scientists creating an unintentional pandemic….
Finding alternatives to antibiotics is one of the biggest challenges facing the research community. Bacteria are increasingly resistant to these drugs, and this resistance leads to the deaths of more than 25,000 around the world. Now, a multidisciplinary team of researchers from the Universitat Rovira…
By Rosanne Lindsay, Naturopath Recently, scientists published “new science” that claims to address the growing problem of drug-resistant bacteria known as Superbugs. Never mind that overuse of antibiotics (i.e., antilife) has caused the proliferation of these Superbugs. Scientists have found “an alternative way,” moving from…
Revised/Updated from February 19, 2019 By Peter Tocci Human immune function is awe-inspiring – so complex and anatomically dispersed, yet wholly integrated operationally, that any implication of full understanding is mere posture. But there seem to be physiological and philosophical questions underlying a common, but…
By Sara Tipton Taking a few extra precautions this flu season may be just what the doctor ordered. Let’s face it, teaching proper handwashing protocols aren’t exactly on our kid’s priority list. That’s why hand sanitizers have become every mom’s dream when it comes to…
McMaster University researchers have identified an antibacterial compound made by cannabis plants that may serve as a lead for new drug development. An interdisciplinary team of McMaster researchers found that the chemical compound, or cannabinoid, called cannabigerol (CBG) is not only antibacterial but also effective…
By Mayukh Saha Six years back, a group of researchers from Leeds University had announced that the hand dryers found in public washroom weren’t sanitary at all. This was major news to the public, since one of the reasons why hand dryers were installed was…
Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute have shown that two prebiotics, mucin and inulin, slowed the growth of melanoma in mice by boosting the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. In contrast to probiotics, which are live bacterial strains, prebiotics are “food”…
By Tess Pennington You may think it best to seal your windows shut during winter, but by doing so, you may be subjecting your immune system to fending off symptoms from indoor allergens or have respiratory problems. The reason being is air quality in homes…
A vegetarian diet may be associated with a lower risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs), a study in Scientific Reports suggests. UTIs are usually caused by gut bacteria, such as E. coli, which enter the urinary tract through the urethra and affect the kidneys and…
One of the causes of breast cancer may be inflammation triggered by harmful bacteria say researchers. Scientists say their idea- as yet unproven – is supported by the available evidence, which is that bacterial induced inflammation is linked to cancer. The paper in the journal…
By Tyler Durden A new study published by animal-welfare group World Animal Protection has arrived at some stunning findings about pork products begin sold at Walmart. The report, published by FoodDive, found that pork samples purchased from Walmart contained “superbug” antibiotic-resistant bacteria. 80% of samples tested…
By Jenny Jane Antibiotics have saved lives since 1942 when the first person was saved using the first antibiotic, penicillin. However, since then, overuse and permeation of life-saving drugs into our environment and water sources has caused drug resistance in once easy-to-cure strains of bacteria…
By Elias Marat Infections at hospitals claim nearly 100,000 people in the U.S. per year while sickening about 2 million. However, a new study has found that hospital beds in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) made from copper harbor an average of 95 percent less…
The health care market is failing to support new antibiotics used to treat some of the world’s most dangerous, drug-resistant “superbugs,” according to a new analysis by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine infectious disease scientists. In a study published today in Antimicrobial Agents and…
By Makia Freeman THE STORY: There are 2 main theories about disease and infection. Pasteur’s germ theory emphasizes pathogenic germs; Bechamp’s host theory emphasizes the inner terrain or microbiome of the host. THE IMPLICATIONS: Has Western Medicine become too swayed by fear of germs? Are…
By John Anderer How does the old saying go? “100 million bacteria a day will keep the doctor away?” Sounds about right. A new study reveals that a typical 240g apple contains around 100 million bacteria, mostly in the seeds and skin. While that may…
By Joan Combellick, Yale University For all of human history, babies have been born where their mothers lived – whether in a house, hut or cave. Only in the last century has birth moved out of the home and into the hospital. How has that…
