Slate: Taking your full course of antibiotics isn’t helping prevent the spread of resistance; it’s fueling it.

[…]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 […]

Insulin resistance in humans triggered by common food preservative, says Harvard Study

[…]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 […]

Prolonged Antibiotic Treatment Offers No Relief For Lasting Lyme Symptoms

[…]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 […]

Chemotherapy Resistance: Hutchinson Center Team Discovers New Mechanism

[…]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 […]

Cannabis compound CBD could be used as antibiotic, researchers say

[…]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? This Is The Shocking Truth.

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 […]

NBC: FDA Moves to Ban Cancer-Causing Pork Antibiotic

[…]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 […]

Antibiotic CIPRO may become basis of new herbicide?!

[…]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: […]

CBS: Could antibiotic-resistant “superbugs” become a bigger killer than cancer?

[…]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. […]

Could cranberries form the basis for new antibiotic? Compounds in juice ‘CAN stop bacterial infections’

[…]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 […]

Researchers discover how antibiotic power of garlic fights chronic infections

[…]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 […]

This Canadian Clay Kills Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria

[…]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. […]
