COVID-19 vaccines found to diminish beneficial bacteria in the human microbiome

November 06, 2023 - commensal bacterial species, including the following: Adlercreutzia equolifaciens, Asaccharobacter celatus, Blautia obeum, Blautia wexlerae, Dorea formicigenerans, Dorea longicatena Coprococcus comes, Streptococcus vestibularis, Collinsella aerofaciens and Ruminococcus obeum.

After these commensal bacterium are wiped out, the microbiome produces less short chain fatty acids and less bacteriocin. Bacteriocin is a peptide toxin that works like an antibiotic, inhibiting ...

Study: Irregular sleep patterns linked to harmful gut bacteria

August 22, 2023 -

The study conducted by researchers from King's College London (KCL) and ZOE, the personalized nutrition company, is the first to discover several links between social jet lag, defined as "the shift in your internal body clock when your sleeping patterns change between workdays and free days," and diet quality, dietary habits, inflammation and gut microbiome composition in a single cohort.

Details of the study were published in the European Journal of Nutrition.

Gut bacteria can influence your mood, thoughts, behavior and brain

August 02, 2023 -

Reputable scientists like Dr. Michael Gershon, dubbed the father of neurogastroenterology, believe that humans have a second brain in the gut.

With the brain and the gut working in a bi-direction, they could affect each other's functions and significantly impact anxiety, cognition, depression and stress, as shown in the study published in the journal Nutrition Reviews.

This explains why antibiotics that disturb the gut microbial ecosystem can cause neuropsychiatric ...

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

a month ago -

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 on ...

Study: Consuming walnuts found to reduce the negative effects of stress

June 21, 2023 - commensal bacteria. Research has found that during times of stress, distress signals reach the gut via a pathway mediated by immune cells. This event triggers inflammation, which favors the growth of certain gut bacteria that could become pathogenic when allowed to flourish.

A stress-induced shift in gut microbial composition can also cause an imbalance (dysbiosis) and increase the permeability of the gut barrier, resulting in a "leaky gut" that allows potentially ...

CDC warns of rare FLESH-EATING bacteria that has killed 5 in Florida, 2 in Connecticut and 1 in New York

September 12, 2023 -

According to the Florida Department of Health (DOH), the Vibrio vulnificus bacteria, which can be found in raw or undercooked seafood, saltwater and brackish water, led to the death of two people since January in Hillsborough County, home to 1.3 million people in Tampa.

An additional person died in each of the surrounding Pasco, Polk and Sarasota counties. Florida has recorded a total of 26 cases of the bacterial infection statewide this year.

In New York, Governor ...

Contraceptives, statins, PPIs, and blood pressure meds all linked to increased cancer risk

October 03, 2023 - commensal bacteria species that are necessary for proper immune function and blood protection. This resulting gut dysbiosis allows pathogenic organisms to flourish and permits toxins to infiltrate the blood, exposing the rest of the body to further stress. The authors of the study said that PPIs should only be used briefly and at the lowest possible dose.Statins linked to colorectal, bladder, and lung cancers

Natural remedies to help you get rid of BAD BREATH

September 26, 2023 -

Brush and floss

Brush and floss every day (and twice a day if possible) to reduce odorous bacteria in your mouth. Flossing removes bits of food caught between teeth, which can cause bacterial growth (and halitosis) when ignored. Replace your toothbrush every two to three months so the bristles do not weaken over time and clean your teeth less effectively. (Related: Prevent halitosis with good oral hygiene and these natural remedies.)

Study: Tart cherries can help improve sustained attention and reduce mental fatigue

June 20, 2023 - commensal bacteria.

Analysis of the participants' blood plasma also revealed that tart cherries increased plasma levels of choline, a derivative of serine that plays a pivotal role in neurotransmission. According to a study published in the journal Behavioral Neurology, maintaining healthy levels of choline through diet and supplementation has protective effects on cognitive functions, such as learning, verbal fluency, processing speed, sustained attention and working ...

Mead Johnson Nutrition voluntarily recalls batches of Nutramigen Powder due to contamination

January 12, 2024 -

Nutramigen Powder, a specialty infant formula for the dietary management of Cows Milk Allergy (CMA) that is sold in 12.6- and 19.8-ounce cans, underwent extensive testing by MJN and tested negative for the bacteria, reported the FDA.

The agency said the Nutramigen containers were manufactured in June 2023 and distributed primarily in June, July and August.

The FDA said based on the limited availability of the remaining stock of this special infant formula, it ...

FEAR CAMPAIGN: Bubonic Plague, one of history’s most lethal pandemics, was just detected in Oregon, health authorities claim

February 20, 2024 -

The Bubonic Plague, caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis, can cross over to humans and cause severe disease. Health officials in Oregon just reported their first case of Bubonic Plague in nearly a decade. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were ten cases of the plague and two fatalities in 2023. While the disease is rare, it has a high fatality rate due to the bacteria’s ability to infect the blood and colonize in the lungs.Oregon ...

CDC claims deadly pathogen with 50% fatality rate now ENDEMIC across the Gulf Coast

June 13, 2023 -

The public health agency said the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei has a fatality rate of around 50 percent worldwide. Infections caused by the pathogen can cause the potentially fatal disease called melioidosis, also called Whitmore's disease, if left untreated.

According to CDC epidemiologist Dr. Julia Petras, B. pseudomallei naturally resides in the soil and fresh water, primarily in subtropical and tropical regions of Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. However, ...

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), harmful pathogens are responsible for at least 250 food-borne diseases. Based on its estimates, 48 million people get sick from food poisoning. Around 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die due to consuming food contaminated by harmful microorganisms.

However, food poisoning is highly preventable. Here are some simple steps to follow that work equally well in ordinary times and when things go south....

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

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 ...
