[…]or stop taking something if we don’t need it. We are LOOOOOONNNNNGGG past protecting against antibiotic resistance!) RELATED ARTICLE: Study: Manuka honey kills more bacteria than all available antibiotics Enter Brad Spellberg, the chief medical officer for the Los Angeles County and University of Southern California Medical Center at the University of Southern California. He’s pretty sure we ARE smart enough to figure these things out with a little bit of clarity and instruction. He says: First things first: “It is absolutely false that continuing to take antibiotics after you feel completely better will reduce the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Quite […]
[…]of the insulin counter-regulatory hormones, glucagon and FABP4, and the development of insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and gradual weight gain. The relevance of propionate to insulin resistance and obesity in humans was also suggested in a large, long-term, dietary interventional study (DIRECT), in which the reduction in plasma propionate in response to a weight-loss diet was independently associated with improved insulin sensitivity.”1 Furthermore, the researchers wisely state in their study that there are alternatives that could be used for food preservation that would yield public health benefits, such as vinegar, essential oils and wheat starches. They also warn that repeated daily […]
[…]over use of antibiotics (which is a persistent problem in the US) raises the risk of developing antibiotic resistance in bacteria and other infections in individual patients. He says the reason patients are still sick is, “…complicated, and treatment shouldn’t involve antibiotics for months or years. It’s unnerving to both physicians and patients because nobody likes having something that we don’t understand.” He says more antibiotics just represent false hope. Lyme is more complicated than not, but there is help. I overcame Lyme and would love to give you my free ebook- click here and I’ll send it to you. Even though […]
[…]But a team of scientists led by the Hutchinson Center have discovered a key factor to this drug resistance and that might help doctors improve the effectiveness of traditional therapy. Senior author, Dr. Peter Nelson, of the Hutchinson Center’s Human Biology Division explains that cancer cells live in a complex “neighborhood” and where they live and who they live near, influence their response and resistance to therapy. The team found that when a normal, noncancerous cell living in the cancer’s neighborhood- the fibroblast- is exposed to chemotherapy, it sustains DNA damage which then drives the production of a broad spectrum of […]
[…]like vancomycin or daptomycin, we found cannabidiol has a very low propensity to induce resistance, which hopefully means it would be safe to use without causing resistance to rapidly appear.”1 RELATED STORY: 7 benefits and uses of CBD Oil (plus side effects) CBD was effective against every Gram-positive bacteria that was tested. However, according to the American College of Healthcare Sciences, the study revealed it would not work against Gram-negative bacteria because even though it has a thin cell membrane, it is not easy to penetrate, making it more difficult for antibiotic treatment. Dr. Andrew Edwards, a non-clinical Lecturer in […]
Is the Resistance To Smart Meters Justified? Two leaders of an anti-smart meter “action group” were recently arrested which got me wondering, what’s the big deal about smart meters? What I found will shock you… Well, it seems there are serious problems with both smart meters and the grid it’s supposed to connect us with. Spending billions to install smart meters while wasting millions by trashing existing analog meters doesn’t make economic sense. The utility companies will say each RF pulse is insignificant. But there can be up to 10,000 pulses in one day from a smart meter. Smart Meter […]
[…]the European Union. The government and consumer groups want farmers to stop using it, and other antibiotics, to fatten animals because the practice is helping to spread antibiotic-resistant superbugs. However, the FDA’s main concern is that consumers might be exposed to carcinogenic substances. Yes I know, that sentence- the FDA is worried about substances causing cancer- seems strange but as I always remind you, our message is spreading. The antibiotic is not used on people (thankfully, as studies have shown it to cause cancer in rats) in the US and because producers aren’t required to report to the FDA which drugs […]

The pipeline had faced widespread resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, hundreds of other indigenous nations from across the Americas, as well as their non-Native allies. Now a new investigation by Antonia Juhasz reveals more details about how the private military contractor TigerSwan carried out extensive military-style counterterrorism efforts targeting the indigenous-led movement.

[…]an untried mode of action to focus on,” Dr Mylne told ABC. Because of people’s growing resistance(rightly so) to glyphosate(which was originally an antibiotic)the agro-chemical industry is on the lookout for new products that farmers won’t be worried using. In the last 15 to 20 years, nothing new has been discovered and time is money. This smells like trouble to me. Take a moment and watch this: Source: […]
[…]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 […]

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. […]
[…]increase the risk of weight gain and obesity. Furthermore, the overuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, making them ineffective at killing disease-causing bacteria. Finally, by changing the types of bacteria living in the intestines, antibiotics can cause intestinal side effects, including diarrhea. SUMMARY:Antibiotics are important for treating infections. However, if overused, they can cause long-term changes to healthy gut bacteria and contribute to liver damage. Take Probiotics During and After Treatment Taking antibiotics can alter the gut microbiota, which can lead to antibiotic-associated diarrhea, especially in children. Fortunately, a number of studies have shown that taking probiotics, or live […]
[…]from the Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, researchers found that honey was not only antibiotic, but antiviral and antibiotic. They found some studies were honey’s antibiotic effect was similar to or better than antibiotics. Could this really be true? Researchers from Ethiopa’s College of Medicine at the University of Gondar found that honey, and a combination of honey and ginger powder, will inhibit the growth of superbugs such as MRSA (antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. They tested these against the pharmaceutical antibiotics methicillin, amoxicillin and penicillin – three of the most successful antibiotics used in conventional medicine. […]

(The European Union and Brazil have banned the use of oxytetracycline and streptomycin for use as a pesticide on agricultural plants.) “Agricultural operations plan to use the antibiotic sprays to combat the widespread disease called citrus greening, which has devastated the citrus industry. The antibiotics won’t cure the disease, and will have to be sprayed repeatedly over years just to keep the trees alive and producing fruit until they succumb to citrus greening. Scientists at the U.S. Environmental […]
[…]that are intended for consumption. The application only refers to testing in mice of the NPTII antibiotic resistance gene product, though it does not mention how long the tests lasted. It’s almost certain that long-term effects were not tested for. In addition, the substance tested was the NPTII protein as expressed in E. coli bacteria, not as expressed in the actual GM cotton. This is inadequate due to a phenomenon known as post-translational modification, which means that a protein can be different from its original form when it is expressed in a new genetically engineered organism. Specifically, it could change […]
[…]finding highlights the previously unnoticed risk that non-antibiotic medicines may also promote antibiotic resistance. “This is scary,” said Dr. Nassos Typas, “considering that we take many non-antibiotic drugs in our life, often for long periods. Still, not all drugs will impact gut bacteria and not all resistance will be common. In some cases, resistance to specific non-antibiotics will trigger sensitivity to specific antibiotics, opening paths for designing optimal drug combinations.” Further Research The results of this study will be useful in further research exploring drug-microbe interactions and could pave the way for the development of personalized solutions, suggested Dr. Georg […]
[…]coming under scrutiny for addressing only surface aspects of the infection, often leaving antibiotic-resistance Lyme disease deep within the system to continue to cause harm. burgdorferi has a complex life cycle, and can exist in radically different forms: spirochetes, spheroplast (or L-form which lacks a cell wall), round bodies or cyst form (which allows for dormancy and escaping PCR detection), and highly antibiotic-resistant biofilms. This pleomorphic property makes conventional treatment exceptionally difficult because while some conventional antibiotics are effective against forms with a cell wall such as spirochetes, they are ineffective against those without a cell wall. This enables B. […]
[…]spread of resistance; it’s fueling it Perhaps because relatively few people are impacted by antibiotic resistance, science hasn’t invested a ton of time trying to find new drugs. That might also be why few people think about a future where “untreatable staph, strep, tuberculosis, leprosy, pneumonia, cholera, diphtheria, scarlet and puerperal fevers, dysentery, typhoid, meningitis, gas gangrene, and gonorrhea”4 are real…out of sight out of mind. But that’s our future if we don’t do something. And maybe even if we do. Which makes Brady’s work all the more important. (The full story from Wired is amazing and can be found here.) […]
[…]product pipeline is not bulging with promising ideas. Mostly, it is more of the same: herbicide resistance and insect resistance. The most revolutionary and innovative part of that pipeline is a technology and not a trait. Many products in the GMO pipeline are made using RNA interference technologies that rely on double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs). dsRNA is a technology with two problems. One is that products made with it (such as the “Arctic” Apple, the “Innate” Potato, and Monsanto’s “Vistive Gold” Soybeans) are unproven in the field. Like its vanguard, a Brazilian virus-resistant bean, they may never work under actual farming conditions. But if they do […]

[…]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 & […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

[…]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 […]

[…]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 […]

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 […]
