20.01.2022 ARTICLE FROM SCIENTIFIC AMERICA ANTIBIOTICS HELP BACTERIA TO SURVIVE Antibiotics can save lives, but they are not fail-safe. Even when microbes havent acquired drug-evading genetic mutationsa hallmark of antibiotic resistancethe medications dont always clear infections. A new study identifies a surprising reason why: At infection sites, antibiotics change the natural mixture of chemicals made by the body in ways that protect infecting bacteria. They also thwart the abilit...Continue reading

18.01.2022 OBESITY & BREAST CANCER OUTCOMES Obesity is an independent risk factor of postmenopausal breast cancer (BC), and in particular oestrogen receptor-positive/progesterone receptor-positive BC. As well as this, evidence shows that obesity, as measured by body mass index (BMI), is linked to BC outcomes. Being physically active (150 min/week of moderate intensity activity) helps manage body weight (normal BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m(2)), improves survival after breast cancer, and has secondary health benefits.

07.01.2022 HONEY A POT OF GOLD AGAINST SUPER BUGS Greta Stonehouse Australian Associated Press Humble honey could be the cure to slowing the spread of superbugs and antibiotic resistance. With drug resistant infections expected to kill an estimated 10 million people by 2050, scientists across the globe are working to tackle the problem and among their ranks, Sydney scientist Nural Cokcetin has something to buzz about.... As bacteria continue to evolve and fight off antibiotics, Dr Cokcetin's lab studies have conclusively found bacteria and some superbugs are unable to resist the medicinal properties of honey. "It's so exciting that honey has been around for thousands of years and the bacteria still have not learned ways to become resistant to it," she told AAP after presenting her findings at the University of Technology Sydney during Science Week. Dr Cokcetin has studied the antibacterial and antimicrobial properties in honey for more than 10 years. "We showed that under conditions where you can very quickly get antibiotic resistance in the lab you still couldn't see this honey resistance. "We tested with different bugs, different kinds of honey and different antibiotics but the results were consistent." Dr Cokcetin is in the process of identifying the active properties in a sample study of more than 1000 varieties of honey. Different factors including sugar content, PH levels and the presence of methylglyoxal (MGO) typically found in Manuka honey, all impact the way honey can be used as medicine. As well as boosting healthy gut bacteria, honey has been proven to help chronic non-healing wounds. Dr Cokcetin points to a case - one of many - of an 80-year-old patient with a chronic infection on her legs. The wounds resisted all treatment and her doctor was prepared to amputate. As a last-ditch effort, her nurse suggested the topical application of medical-grade honey and the infection cleared up in 10 weeks. "In this woman's case, the honey literally saved her limbs."

03.01.2022 Happy Chinese New Year everyone & good health in the year of the rooster! If others are feeling (as I am) the effects of indulging in delicious food & other things over the Christmas period, here is a recipe that might help. It will also use up some of your zucchinis if you happen to be growing them- we have zucchinis coming out of our ears at present. This is a recipe for an alkalising & cleansing broth. -1 zucchini -handful green beans... -handful spinach Cover with water & simmer till vegies are soft. Blend until smooth. Have a bowl or mugful once a day- or more. It tastes quite pleasant! See more
