[…]these antibiotics to make the chickens bigger quick then get passed on to humans and make us more antibiotic resistance. Sadly people die from antibiotic resistant infections all the time – all for the sake of growing chickens faster for the greedy industry – from the article on selfish chicken companies: “We don’t have all the answers,” said Christine Daugherty, head of sustainable food production at Tyson, in a statement. “But we want to make sure that antibiotics continue to work.” The concern is that the use of antibiotics to treat sick chickens is making the medicine less effective in […]
[…]high chicken meat resistance rates, suggesting that the federal government has failed to combat antibiotic resistance from factory farming.” 1 He went on to say, “The Federal Government has a special responsibility not only for the health of its own population, but also beyond Germany, and in the past year alone almost one million tonnes of chicken meat were exported. The poultry meat industry is also exporting antibiotic resistance and related health risks, not least to countries with very weak health systems.” (He gets it.) RELATED STORY: Do not buy chicken with this brand on the label According to the WHO, every […]
[…]a chelator; which draws out the vital nutrients of any living thing it touches. It is a patented antibiotic; destroying gut bacteria, where 70% of the immune system lies, and the body’s ability to create Tryptophan/Serotonin, and Melatonin, which regulate insulin/diabetes and protect from sleeplessness, depression, bipolar and violent behavior. It is a proven endocrine disruptor; which impacts, deforms or halts the development of a fetus, leading to miscarriage, birth defects, infertilityand sterility. It is also a cell disintegrator; breaking down the blood brain barrier and allowing toxins into the brain, (correlating the rise of autism with the increased use of […]
[…]the scientific journal Peer J, chronic wounds are becoming a major global health problem, due to antibiotic resistance issues. They are costly and difficult to treat, and bacterial biofilms are important contributors to the delay in healing. There is an urgent need for new, effective agents in topical wound care, and honey has shown some great potential in this regard. RELATED ARTICLE: Honey Out-Performs Antibiotics in Fighting Superbugs For their study, researchers reviewed Manuka honey in particular as an alternative treatment for wounds because of its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and the inability of bacteria to develop resistance to it. Their study indicated […]
[…]scientists found that the remaining bacteria was actually made stronger. The proportion of antibiotic-resistant bacteria was found to have doubled as a result of the treatment. “Initially, 0.3 percent of E. coli carried a gene for resistance, whereas 0.6 percent did after treatment,” wrote Allison Bond for Reuters. The effects of this on humans is still not fully known however, microbiologist John Scott Meschke from the University of Washington in Seattle has stated that current water purification techniques are adequate for making water safe enough to drink, but that may not be the case. *Article originally appeared at Organic & […]
[…]effective at tightening your midsection and reducing your waist size. In fact, combining resistance training with aerobic exercise seems to be the most effective for slimming your waistline. Bottom Line: Resistance training may prevent the loss of muscle mass often seen with dieting, which may help maintain your metabolic rate and reduce your waist circumference. 9. Do Exercises Standing Instead of Sitting Performing exercises while standing up may benefit your health more than performing the same exercises while sitting or using weight machines. By standing, you activate more muscles to maintain balance and hold up your weight. Therefore, you’ll spend […]
[…]sensitivity: Avoid or minimize sugar: High amounts of fructose and sucrose promote insulin resistance and raise insulin levels (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15). Reduce carbohydrates: A low-carb diet can cause an immediate drop in insulin levels (16, 17, 18, 19). Fill up on protein: Protein actually raises insulin in the short-term. However, it should lead to long-term reductions in insulin resistance by helping you lose belly fat (20, 21). Include plenty of healthy fats: Omega-3 fats found in fatty fish can help lower fasting insulin levels (22). Exercise regularly: Overweight women who walked briskly or jogged had an improvement […]
[…]here’s a small taste… “We’ve been hearing for some time that overusing antibiotics may lead to antibiotic-resistant hospital infections, something we may associate with the elderly and other immune-compromised people. But I gather the implications are much more immediate and individual than that. What’s the connection between microbes and the development of the immune system in childhood? When we’re born we do not have any microbes. Our immune system is underdeveloped. But as soon as microbes come into the picture, they kick-start our immune system to work properly. Without microbes our immune system can’t fight infections well. It’s not just […]
[…]the researchers wrote. Though the pigs weren’t given any carbapenem drugs (nor dosed with antibiotics to promote growth) they did get antibiotics: piglets on the farm received ceftiofur at birth males received a second dose at castration And this regular dosing might play a part in the development of mutant bacteria. In a genius move (excuse my sarcasm) Wittum remarked, “We may need to examine some of the practices of farms, and evaluate whether they are really appropriate, and whether the benefits outweigh the risks.” Agreed. Dr. David Wallinga of the Natural Resources Defense Council, who opposes the routine agricultural use […]
[…]make sure you save the tick so that it can be tested for presence of pathogenic organisms. Antibiotics Are NOT the Best Treatment Option While early treatment is critical to prevent complications, traditional treatment involving a course of antibiotics is often unsuccessful in preventing complications, including arthritis, cognitive deficits, heart rhythm irregularities or neurological symptoms. Antibiotics damage your gut microbiome and increase your risk of yeast and fungal infections. For these reasons, it is advisable to exhaust natural strategies to help your body fight Lyme disease. One example is the Nutramedix line of herbal antimicrobials, recommended by one of the most […]
[…]herbicide resistance. In the United States, there are over 155 weed species with confirmed resistance to one or more herbicides. To reduce weed resistance in the future, the EPA defined some restrictions on the amount of glyphosate to be used per acre for all of the different uses. For example, up to 8 pounds per acre may be used per year on forestry land. Farming consultant Frank Dean states “These amounts are still far too much and will impact the quality of the soil and crops.” The USA has 421,302 acres of forestry land, so there is a potential market […]
[…]of belly fat after losing weight. In this study, researchers reported that people who performed resistance or aerobic exercise for 1 year after losing weight were able to prevent abdominal fat regain, while those who did not exercise had a 25–38% increase in belly fat. Bottom Line: Inactivity may promote an increase in belly fat. Resistance and aerobic exercise may prevent abdominal fat regain after weight loss. Check out this video from Dr. Oz (my better half has been on the show) talking about what belly fat is and why we should get rid of it: 5. Low-Protein Diets Getting […]
[…]and oxidative stress, and improve your liver detoxification to prevent or reverse insulin resistance and diabetes. Choose a rich variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, plenty of omega-3 fats, coconut butter and olive oil, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Whole, real foods turn on all the right gene messages, promote a healthy metabolism, reverse insulin resistance and diabetes, and prevent aging and age-related diseases like diabetes and heart disease. 3. Get The Right Nutrients Supplements make your cells more sensitive to insulin and more effective at metabolizing sugar and fat. Combined with the right diet and lifestyle modifications, they can help […]
[…]Fat in the bloodstream—from the fat on our bodies or the fat we eat—not only causes insulin resistance, but also produces a low-grade inflammation that can contribute to heart disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Fiber may also decrease insulin resistance. One of the ways it may do so is by helping to rid the body of excess estrogen. There is strong evidence for a direct role of estrogens in the cause of diabetes, and it’s been demonstrated that certain gut bacteria can produce estrogens in our colon. High-fat, low-fiber diets appear to stimulate the metabolic activity of these estrogen-producing intestinal bacteria. This is a problem […]
[…]resistant to antibiotics – even becoming stronger after being challenged with them – drug resistance and multi-drug resistance to chemoagents is the canary in the coal mine, indicating the entire paradigm, hinged as it is on patented, highly toxic chemicals, is rearing to collapse. Radiation Therapy Known To Cause Cancer & Enhance Malignancy Similarly, radiotherapy is known to induce secondary cancers, along with a wide range of serious adverse effects. A woman whose breast is irradiated is more likely to developlung cancer, for instance. But its effects may actually be far worse on the primary cancer it is being used […]
[…]found on every single McDonald’s touchscreen swabbed. RELATED STORY: Researchers discover how antibiotic power of garlic fights chronic infections Working with the school of human sciences, swabs were taken from eight McDonald’s restaurants: Oxford Circus, Birmingham, Pigeon Park, Holloway Road, Oxford Street, Kensington High Street, Seven Sisters Road, Bethnal Green and Birmingham, Ramp. All told, the following bacteria were found (not all bacteria were found at every site):1 Coliforms Staphylococcus aureus pseudomonas Enterococcus faecalis Proteus Bacillus Klebsiella Listeria Micrococcus Staphylococcus Pseudomonas E. faecalis Enterobacter Bacillus Dr. Matewele said: “We were all surprised how much gut and faecal bacteria there was on the touchscreen […]
[…]so “the dose makes the poison” mantra does not apply! Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum antibiotic killing the good bacteria in your gut. Poor gut health is linked to inflammation and a whole host of diseases. As GMOs laced with glyphosate are commonly fed to farm animals, this could very well be contributing to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It binds with vital nutrients in the soil (like iron, calcium, manganese, zinc) and prevents plants for taking them up. Glyphosate is thereby making food less nutritious! Why is this weed killer in these foods? Even non-GMO and organic food! This chemical has gone so mainstream that glyphosate has infiltrated every facet of our environment […]
[…]Dr. Senanayake, “…one of the bigger factors is that animals consume a lot of antibiotics. In the US, for example, about 80 per cent of antibiotics used are used in animals not humans.” In recent years, governments, in particular the US, have tried to provide incentives for pharmaceutical companies to make new antibiotics. If that doesn’t happen, and we don’t begin to prescribe less, some estimate that by 2050 around 100 trillion dollars will be spent on antibiotic resistant bacteria and we could lose about 300 million people. We have played the antibiotic game for far too long and are now […]
[…]more repetition before the bacteria die completely. There are many natural substances that contain antibiotic properties. The lactic acid bacteria in yogurt is known to suppress H. pylori without killing all the good bacteria in your stomach like commercial antibiotics do. Sulforaphane, which occurs naturally in broccoli and cauliflower has also been proposed as a treatment. If you are concerned that conventional treatments aren’t right for you, talk to your doctor about the research into alternative treatments. It’s very possible that diet changes and preventative measures, along with antibiotic and probiotic supplements could be a possible solution. Have you or […]
[…]Marfan syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (which I have), and the elderly.) RELATED STORY: This Antibiotic will RUIN you. This new information will be added to the labels and prescribing information of fluoroquinolone drugs, according to the FDA. They also stressed that they should only be used when absolutely necessary. Please be careful. High blood pressure is the main cause of aortic dissection so if you have high blood pressure, discuss this with your doctor before using fluoroquinolones. And if you are taking this class of antibiotic and feel sudden, severe, and constant pain in the stomach, chest or back, call 911 […]
