[…]that antibiotics they commonly used 10 years ago are no longer effective. Each time we take an antibiotic, bacteria can develop the same kind of resistance in our bodies, which is why the overuse of the drugs is so dangerous. Americans are among the highest consumers of antibiotics in the world. More than 250 million prescriptions are written every year. One-third of them unnecessary, according to the centers for disease control. And in India – and many other developing countries – antibiotic use is on the rise and you can often buy the drugs over the counter, no prescription required. […]
[…]because the ingredients are all-natural and contain no toxins. Health benefits Garlic is a strong antibiotic with a wide range of health benefits. Unlike chemical antibiotics that kill millions of friendly bacteria your body needs, its only goal is bacteria and microorganisms. Garlic also encourages and increases the level of healthy bacteria. It is a powerful antifungal agent and destroys any antigen, pathogen, and harmful disease-causing microorganisms. Onion is garlic’s closest relative and it has a similar but milder action. Together they create a strong fighting duo. Horseradish is a powerful herb, efficient for sinuses and lungs. It opens sinus […]
[…]in fighting disease in humans. RELATED ARTICLES: This Chicken Farm Uses Oregano Oil Instead of Antibiotics Nevada Woman Dies from a Superbug Resistant to Every Available Antibiotic in the US Thankfully, in the last couple of years, fast food companies have started to recognize the part they were playing in that dangerous practice; last year McDonald’s nearly 14,000 U.S. restaurants stopped serving chicken raised with antibiotics, in 2014 Chick-fil-A vowed to switch to poultry raised without any antibiotics at all by the end of 2019, Taco Bell has committed to serve chicken raised without antibiotics, Pizza Hut has the same […]
[…]capable of killing Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) a bacteria well known for being resistant to antibiotics. And get this: he says his herbalist grandfather was the inspiration that kept him going (he even kept a framed picture next to him while we worked)! RELATED STORY: Could cranberries form the basis for new antibiotic? Compounds in juice ‘CAN stop bacterial infections’ The wise youngster said, “I feel, without disrespecting the scientific community too much, that there should be some conclusions from this. We are over-thinking science in too many ways.” We totally agree with you, Simon! RELATED STORIES: NBC: Doctor researching cancer says […]
[…]they need something stronger, people continue to suffer. RELATED STORY: NBC: FDA warns some antibiotics can cause fatal heart damage According to Melissa Christian, a family nurse practitioner who only uses Fluroquinolone antibiotics as a last resort, “If you Google right now Levaquin and suicide, or Levaquin and psychosis there are copious amounts of articles out there. This is evidence based research that say, yes this could potentially cause harm.”1 She says, “…I’ve had patients who had their tendons rupture from the drug. I had a patient say I took one of those pills and I felt like my skin was […]
[…]To further highlight this, the UN General Assembly had a high-level meeting in September on antibiotic resistance. We will watch this story and keep you updated. Thankfully the Nevada woman was cared for in isolation and the staff who treated her used “infection control precautions to prevent spread of the superbug” at the hospital. Testing has been done since her death to look for additional infections but thus far nothing has been detected. Source: […]

[…]Dartmouth, said: ‘With the emergence of new superbugs that are resistant to current antibiotics, our hope is to better understand the mechanisms of bacterial infection so we can identify potential new antibiotic drug targets.’ According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least two million Americans are infected each year with drug-resistant bacteria, while some 23,000 die from those infections. In order to cause an infection, bacteria must first adhere to a host and accumulate in sufficient numbers to form a biofilm. The researchers found that the flavonols in cranberry juice helped to prevent E.coli from sticking […]
[…]is able to fight both at once and therefore may prove an effective drug when used together with antibiotics’, says Tim Holm Jakobsen. Previous studies have shown that garlic appears to offer the most powerful, naturally occurring resistance to bacteria. In addition to inhibiting the bacteria’s RNA molecules, the active garlic compound also damages the protective slimy matrix surrounding the bacteria, the so-called biofilm. When the biofilm is destroyed or weakened, both antibiotics and the body’s own immune system are able to attack the bacteria more directly and thus remove the infection. In 2012 the researchers took out a patent […]
[…]benefits of the clay, the most promising, they say, is its effectiveness against many serious antibiotic-resistant infections. In a recent study published in the journal mBio, University of British Columbia scientists discovered that a dangerous group of bacteria simply died when incubated in water combined with the clay. What are known as ESKAPE pathogens are responsible for the majority of hospital infections in the US, and include Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species. Though this is good news, there is still a lot of research to be done until the clay will be used medicinally. […]
