There are a lot of things that scientists are researching on a daily basis. Plenty of these scientists are in different fields and sectors over the things that they are researching. In this particular case, scientists were focusing on how to slow down the massive growth of these MRSA super bugs. Some people know what they are while other people have absolutely no idea. The truth of the matter is that they found that turmeric might be good to combat the growth of these things.

Key Takeaways:

  • Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, also known as MRSA, is a form of bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics.
  • Curcumin is the primary polyphenol that is found in the tumeric root and is what gives the root its golden color.
  • Unlike many other medications that are used to treat infections, active doses of curcumin have little to no toxicity.

"Previous research shows that curcumin can have synergistic effects with certain antibiotics."

Antimicrobial resistance is becoming more prevalent and is very dangerous as bacterias that once could be treated by antibiotics are becoming resistant, hence the term superbug. These superbugs cause thousands of deaths a year. There are some things you can do to prevent this starting with washing your hands. Read the article and find out more!

Key Takeaways:

  • Global leaders met at the United Nationals General Assembly to address what experts are calling the biggest threats to global health, antimicrobial resistance.
  • It is only the fourth time in UN history that a health issue has been discussed at the assembly
  • Antimicrobial resistance is when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites become resistant to the drugs typically used to treat people infected by them.

"Antimicrobial resistance, commonly called AMR, is when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites become resistant to the drugs typically used to treat people infected by them."

Long before Alexander Fleming discovered antibiotics in 1927, our ancestors relied on medicinal plants and natural remedies to strengthen their immune systems and prevent or cure diseases. Another excellent and versatile antibiotic is garlic, which has been shown to protect the body by killing harmful bacteria. In addition to killing the bad guys, probiotic bacteria support proper digestion, boost the immune system and enhance the body's resistance to infection. Tea tree oil is a powerful antimicrobial essential oil derived from the Australian Melaleuca Alterniflora tree.

Key Takeaways:

  • For many Americans, antibiotics have become a standard routine when they get sick.
  • Conditions such as a sore throat or bronchitis are usually caused by a virus and cannot be treated with antibiotics.
  • Turmeric, the bright yellow-orange colored spice that most of us know from Indian curries, has been well known and documented for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

"Conditions such as a sore throat or bronchitis are usually caused by a virus and cannot be treated with antibiotics."

For many years honey has been a home remedy for its antibacterial and medicinal properties. Now, a new honey from New Zealand, called Manuka honey, is becoming popular for pushing the boundaries of what honey is known for. Studies found that this honey was effective against chronic wound infections and can inhibit bacteria growth. Others say that it has beneficial vitamins and nutrients, bolsters the immune system, helps acne, heals eczema, and fights cold among others. Most of these claims are not proven, but it hasn't stopped the honey cost from skyrocketing to $80 a jar.

Key Takeaways:

  • Honey has by historical tradition been much vaunted for it's health-giving properties, which have been validated as anti-bacterial by modern medical science.
  • Manuka Honey, from New Zealand, is considered, even by honey standards, to be particularly anti-bacterial.
  • Studies show Manuka honey to be very efficacious in preventing urinary infections in catheter patients and to potentially be a big deterrent to "superbugs" that are resistant to the usual antibacterial medicines. .

""Even low dilutions of Manuka honey can curb the activity and growth of bacterial biofilms – the thin but resilient layer of microbes that build up on, and stick to, any surface including plastic.""
