The mechanisms of SILVER against deadly bacteria and why it should be in your prepper bag

March 15, 2024 -

A May 2015 piece in Science magazine stated that silver interferes with the cell walls of bacteria and deprives them of the normal metabolic processes they need to survive. Silver ions punch holes in bacterial membranes and, once inside, bind to essential components like DNA. This, in turn, prevent bacteria from performing even their most basic functions.

The magazine also referenced an April 2015 study published in Scientific Reports about this phenomenon. It zoomed in ...

Natural and effective cleaning supplies you can use to safely disinfect your home

June 02, 2023 -

Alcohol

A 70 percent isopropyl alcohol is the most effective at killing pathogens – far better at killing bacteria and other viruses than 99 percent isopropyl alcohol.

Rubbing alcohol, just like hand sanitizer, kills the germs on your hands. Alcohol immediately kills germs on contact and disinfects surfaces for hours afterward. But you shouldn't consider cleaning your entire home using rubbing alcohol, because alcohol can evaporate off surfaces too quickly to actually neutralize ...

Entire hospital ICU in China gets completely overtaken by antibiotic-resistant superbugs, putting patients at serious risk

May 11, 2023 -

British researchers recently reported on a hospital in Hangzhou, China, that became completely overrun with a particularly virulent antibiotic-resistant "superbug" that ended up infecting one in three patients.

Known as carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, or CRAB, the superbug in question found its way into the hospital's intensive care unit (ICU). From there, it spread through HVAC ventilation ducts, plumbing, and shared equipment, infecting both patients ...

DIM in broccoli and cruciferous vegetables could be the solution to antibiotic resistance

August 05, 2022 -

New research reveals that DIM, a popular anti-cancer substance sold in supplement form, fights harmful bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii, both of which are considered resistant to pharmaceutical-based antibiotics.

Tests showed that DIM has the capacity to inhibit biofilm formation of these bacteria by anywhere from 65-70 percent. When combined with certain antibiotics, that level of effectiveness increases to a 98 percent reduction ...

Drug-resistant bacteria add another layer to India’s coronavirus battle

September 20, 2021 -

Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) microbiologist Kamini Walia pointed out that the overuse of potent antibiotics may be "adding fuel to the fire of the already alarming antimicrobial resistance levels. These potent antibiotics included some medications reserved for the cases hardest to treat.

"Fear of missing a secondary infection and lack of specific therapy for COVID-19 leads to over-prescription of antibiotics," she said. Walia added: "The culture of over-medicating ...

Not all bad: How “good” viruses boost your well-being

June 16, 2021 -

What are bacteriophages?

The community of viruses inside your body is called the "virome." The virome makes up part of the total population of microorganisms living inside your body, which is collectively called the "human microbiome." Researchers also use the term in reference to the sum of the genetic material of these microorganisms.

The virome is considered to be the largest, most diverse and most dynamic part of the human microbiome. It emerges a week after birth, at ...

STUDY: Masks are exposing children to a horrifying array of deadly pathogens

June 18, 2021 -

The latest data shows that young people in particular are experiencing serious negative social effects from masks, often at school, not to mention health ramifications that the powers-that-be are doing their best to ignore.

And what about having to carry around and use the same piece of cloth over and over again? As TownHall's Scott Morefield writes, the pathogens that are "lurking" in the fabric pose more serious risks than the Chinese Virus itself due to constantly being ...

6 Amazing benefits of red wine vinegar, an antioxidant-rich ingredient

July 24, 2020 -

But red wine vinegar is a better source of acetic acid and polyphenols, compounds with proven benefits to health. Acetic acid is present in many kinds of vinegar and is responsible for the strong aroma in the condiment. Polyphenols, on the other hand, are antioxidants that help fight antioxidative stress and help lower inflammation.Amazing benefits of red wine vinegar

While often used for cooking, red wine vinegar contains nutrients that make it an excellent option for ...

Can this newly developed compound help fight antibiotic-resistant superbugs?

January 28, 2020 -

In a statement, Robert Redfield, director of the CDC, said that the post-antibiotic era is “already here…miracle drugs no longer perform miracles, and families are being ripped apart by a microscopic enemy.”

Scientists around the world have been scrambling for ways to treat this looming crisis, which causes an infection every 11 seconds and a death every 15 minutes, on average. In a recent study, researchers from the University of Sheffield in England have developed ...

More than 35,000 people die every year in the US from antibiotic resistance – and the government is worried about vapes?

November 27, 2019 -

On average, one new person living in the U.S. contracts an antibiotic-resistant infection every 11 seconds, while one U.S.-living person dies every 15 minutes from an antibiotic-resistant infection – a sky-high figure compared to the number of deaths associated with leisure activities like vaping that the government is eagerly trying to ban for alleged "public safety" reasons.

Ancient soil bacteria holds key to preventing modern superbugs

August 15, 2019 -

To date, antibiotic resistance is one of the world’s biggest problems. Microorganisms are evolving at a rapid rate and developing defense mechanisms against drugs that are meant to defeat them. The Centers for Disease Control and Protection (CDC) reports that at least 23,000 people die from drug-resistant infections every year.A sweet-smelling hope against superbugs

Plumbagin, a natural antineoplastic agent

Plumbagin is a bioactive naphthoquinone that can be isolated from three major plant families: Plumbaginaceae, Ebenaceae, and Droseraceae. Some of the plants belonging to these families are considered carnivorous, or plants that source their nutrients from insects and animals. Plumbagin is known to be a potent anticancer agent in vivo and in vitro. It is said to work on a variety of cancer cells, including breast cancer, esophageal cancer, ...

Carvacrol, a compound found in oregano, exhibits powerful antimicrobial properties

Low dosages of carvacrol kill A. baumannii

To test their strength against different pathogens, the researchers used gaseous contact assay to determine the minimum inhibitory dose (MID) of the tested compounds. The MID is the lowest concentration of each compound capable of preventing the growth of bacteria. They also isolated different strains of A. baumannii, a nosocomial (hospital-derived) pathogen known to infect people with weak immune systems, from different specimens. They ...

MEDICAL ALERT: Hospitals are releasing deadly superbug fungi into the open air, “colonizing” the population with dangerous pathogens that have a 41% – 88% fatality rate

April 07, 2019 -

But they all kept it a secret, because they didn't want to "alarm" the public. And they sure didn't want hospitals to be seen as hubs of superbug infections.

Well, imagine no more. This is real. It's happening right now. And this pandemic has been silently spreading over the last four years, with virtually zero media reports, very little information from the CDC, and a coordinated cover-up by the hospitals of the western world to keep patients in the dark while they're ...

Why “bastard myrobalan” may be the next natural cure for antibiotic-resistant bacteria

Infections caused by MDR bacteria tend to be more severe than those caused by normal bacteria. Because of this, they are also more likely to lead to death. According to the World Health Organization, researchers should prioritize finding treatments for the following MDR bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli. These bacteria are known to cause various diseases. The Gram-positive ...
