Antibiotics weaken innate anti-viral immune response in lung cells

Researchers from Francis Crick Institute, a biomedical research centre in London, learned that antibiotics weaken first line immune response in the lungs by altering the microbiome. The damage was observed in the immune system of rodents after a two week course of antibiotics. The antibiotics weakened a first line of defense in the lungs called type I interferon (IFN?/?). ...

Antibiotics are no match for drug-resistant TB … unless you add vitamin D

May 09, 2019 - antibiotics on their own to kill the bacteria directly," Martineau explains.

"This is a novel approach, as it contrasts with the conventional tactic of developing new antibiotics in an attempt to 'keep up' with the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria -- an arms race that is proving hard for us to win," he adds.

This is how far gone modern medicine is: Allowing the body to heal itself by giving it the nutrients it needs to function is considered "novel....

Antibiotics may STOP the growth of new brain cells, concludes study

February 04, 2019 -

Scientists say that antibiotics strong enough to kill gut bacteria are also potent enough to disrupt the development of new brain cells in the hippocampus region of the brain.

The hippocampus is part of the limbic system and is most recognized for its roles in memory formation and spatial recognition. As sources note, the hippocampus is typically the first region of the brain affected by Alzheimer's disease; in fact, damage to the hippocampus is a hallmark ...

Antibiotics found to actually COMPROMISE the immune system in some cases

September 20, 2018 -

Jason Yang, a postdoctoral scholar at the Broad Institute and MIT, said that antibiotics often interact with cells, especially immune cells, in unexpected ways. Yang, the study's co-first author, added, "And the biochemical context, altered by antibiotics and cells in the surrounding tissue, matters when you're trying to predict how a drug might work in different people or in different infections."

Recommended antibiotics are shockingly ineffective for common childhood illnesses, study finds

November 03, 2023 -

In the study, which was published in The Lancet Regional Health – Southeast Asia, researchers from the University of Sydney looked at the resistance rates among kids in 11 countries from 2011 to 2021. They examined antibiotics recommended by the World Health Organization’s most recent guidelines on antibiotic usage. They found that many of those recommended by the WHO to treat common infections such as meningitis, sepsis and pneumonia had efficacy rates of less than ...

One study found that individuals who took any of a group of five common oral antibiotics noted an increase in their chances of developing kidney stones of 1.3 to 2.3-fold, and this risk remained high for as many as five years after stopping the antibiotics. Moreover, the risk was greater for children who received ...
