Camel milk was suppose to be the new big craze a few years back, but it never hit the markets here.
I would love to try it myself, but likely heavy pasteurization, and additives would ruin it.

Those are a some good reminders.

Well I doubt this pepper tree can live in Canada but hopefully a form of this bacteria resistant cure can be made from it and be accessible here.

Nature Comes To The Rescue Again - Peppertree Disarms Most Dangerous Bacteria

Superbugs are without a doubt a major threat affecting all health care systems. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is caused by a type of staph bacteria that's become resistant to many of the antibiotics used to treat ordinary staph infections. Despite attempts by new antibiotics to neutralize the effects of MRSA, none have succeeded. But nature did.


The red berries of the Brazilian peppertree -- a weedy, invasive species common in Florida -- contain an extract with the power to disarm dangerous antibiotic-resistant staph bacteria, scientists at Emory University have discovered.
The journal Scientific Reports is publishing the finding, made in the lab of Cassandra Quave, an assistant professor in Emory's Center for the Study of Human Health and in the School of Medicine's Department of Dermatology.
"Traditional healers in the Amazon have used the Brazilian peppertree for hundreds of years to treat infections of the skin and soft tissues," Quave says. "We pulled apart the chemical ingredients of the berries and systematically tested them against disease-causing bacteria to uncover a medicinal mechanism of this plant."
The researchers showed that a refined, flavone-rich composition extracted from the berries inhibits formation of skin lesions in mice infected with MRSA. The compound works not by killing the MRSA bacteria, but by repressing a gene that allows the bacteria cells to communicate with one another. Blocking that communication prevents the cells from taking collective action, a mechanism known as quorum quenching.
"It essentially disarms the MRSA bacteria, preventing it from excreting the toxins it uses as weapons to damage tissues," Quave says. "The body's normal immune system then stands a better chance of healing a wound."

While infections are becoming increasingly difficult to beat, no new class of antibiotic has been discovered since 1987. In contrast, a new infection emerges on an almost yearly basis.

The discovery may hold potential for new ways to treat and prevent antibiotic-resistant infections, a growing international problem. Antibiotic-resistant infections annually cause at least two million illnesses and 23,000 deaths in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The United Nations last year called antibiotic-resistant infections a "fundamental threat" to global health and safety, citing estimates that they cause at least 700,000 deaths each year worldwide, with the potential to grow to 10 million deaths annually by 2050.

Bacteria are rife in conventionally grown US meat including antibiotic-resistant bacteria also known as superbugs. Almost half of beef, chicken, pork and turkey in samples tested from US grocery stores contained staph bacteria reported the Los Angeles Times in 2011 including the resistant MRSA staph bacterium (methicillin-resistant S. aureus). Pork tested by Consumer Reports in 2013 also contained MRSA and four other kinds of resistant bacteria.
Blasting deadly bacteria with drugs designed to kill them is helping to fuel the problem of antibiotic resistance. Some of the stronger bacteria may survive these drug onslaughts and proliferate, passing on their genes to offspring and leading to the evolution of deadly "super bugs."
In contrast, the Brazilian peppertree extract works by simply disrupting the signaling of MRSA bacteria without killing it. The researchers also found that the extract does not harm the skin tissues of mice, or the normal, healthy bacteria found on skin.
"In some cases, you need to go in heavily with antibiotics to treat a patient," Quave says. "But instead of always setting a bomb off to kill an infection, there are situations where using an anti-virulence method may be just as effective, while also helping to restore balance to the health of a patient. More research is needed to better understand how we can best leverage anti-virulence therapeutics to improve patient outcomes."
Quave, a leader in the field of medical ethnobotany and a member of the Emory Antibiotic Resistance Center, studies how indigenous people incorporate plants in healing practices to uncover promising candidates for new drugs.
The Brazilian peppertree (Schinus terebinthifolia) is native to South America but thrives in subtropical climates. It is abundant in much of Florida, and has also crept into southern areas of Alabama, Georgia, Texas and California. Sometimes called the Florida holly or broad leaf peppertree, the woody plant forms dense thickets that crowd out native species.
"The Brazilian peppertree is not some exotic and rare plant found only on a remote mountaintop somewhere," Quave says. "It's a weed, and the bane of many a landowner in Florida."
From an ecological standpoint, it makes sense that weeds would have interesting chemistry, Quave adds. "Persistent, weedy plants tend to have a chemical advantage in their ecosystems, which help may protect them from diseases so they can more easily spread in a new environment."

Most peppers are good for being resistant to bacteria, the colored ones especially, and I believe purple might be best, but not sure.
Most veggies of color have a resistant of some type, so good to eat them all

This might be good for my girlfriend to be aware of. She certainly likes juicing.

A simple solution to prevent osteoporosis and improve bone health
Posted by: Dena Schmidt, staff writer in Best Natural Treatments April 19, 2017 8 Comments

dried-plums(NaturalHealth365) Improving bone health and avoiding osteoporosis may be easier than we once thought. In fact, better bone density could be as simple as eating more dried plums.
In the U.S. alone, around 8 million women experience osteoporosis and a deterioration in bone health during menopause due to the sudden cessation of ovarian hormone production. However, it is estimated that around 2 million American men experience osteoporosis as well.
Dried plums superior for bone health than dates, figs, raisins, strawberries and apples
Dried plums for bone health and osteoporosis were studied by researchers from Florida State University and Oklahoma State University. For the study, the researchers tested postmenopausal women in two groups over one year.
One group of 55 women consumed the equivalent of 10 plums in dried form (100 grams) per day, while the second group of 45 women consumed an equivalent amount of dried apples. All participants also received 500 mg of calcium per day and 400 mg of vitamin D each day. At the end of the study, the dried plum group was found to have much higher bone density in both the spine and forearm.
Florida State professor and researcher Bahram H. Arjmandi has tested numerous other fruits including dates, figs, raisins and strawberries for their veracity in improving bone health. However, none have come close to the effectiveness of dried plums.
Both men and women at risk for osteoporosis as they age
It is believed that dried plums work by suppressing bone breakdown (resorption). Older persons, especially women, are prone to resorption exceeding the rate of new growth and regeneration within their bones. The effects of dried plums offer tremendous promise to women who face this issue as they age; however, anyone can improve their bone health with this natural solution. The research results were published in the British Journal of Nutrition.
Women lose an average of 3 to 5 percent of bone density per year during the initial 5 to 7 years of menopause. However, men also face deterioration of bone health and bone density beginning around age 65.
Researcher Bahram Arjmandi encourages individuals not to wait to address bone health until you get a fracture or an osteoporosis diagnosis. Adults might consider starting to work dried plums into their diets in their 40s and gradually increase to 100 mg per day.
Additional benefits of dried plums
In addition to improving bone health and fighting osteoporosis, plums can bring a number of other health benefits. They are packed with antioxidants to support cellular health and the immune system. Dried plums help to regulate cholesterol levels, prevent obesity, improve cardiovascular health and boost the immune system.
They are also effective in regulating electrolyte balance, cognitive health, nervous system functioning, skin health and blood clotting. Additionally, dried plums can provide relief and protection from influenza, indigestion, anxiety, macular degeneration, diabetes, and even cancer.

About the above video, I knew garlic had health benefits however it also has serious body odour issues. Is this Bajakah root from Borneo yet another cancer cure ? https://www.goodnet.org/articles/two-in ... UBPs7zhYho

[Blue Frost]

I have tried that before, it's some bad medicine to down.

Burning sage kills 94% of bacteria in ones home. I’ll have to try this once in a while. https://www.lifehack.org/426156/science ... our-health

Hey you guys ever tried Mummy powder? It was all the rage for curing ailments back in the day.
https://hauntedwalk.com/news/why-did-pe ... t-mummies/

[Blue Frost]

I was going to say they call it mumiya powder, but they mentioned that in the article.
Good stuff
It's amazing the numbers of mummies that where destroyed making that stuff, being burned as fuel, and just tossed around to rob a tomb, or through excavation. It has to be in the millions.

[Gary Oak]

I doubt that Mumia powder is still on the market. Fortunately many homeopathic remedies are effective.

[Gary Oak]

I had no idea that cattails had such medicinal qualities. It’s an pain relief among many other uses. https://www.huntingfishingtech.com/benefits-of-cattail/

[Blue Frost]

I would suggest not getting cattails out of a ditch, and eating them, or a runoff.
They also clean the water, and suck off a lot of contaminants.

Smudging with burning sage is also supposed to get rid of unwanted houseguests such as nasty spirits. Native Americans and those who specialize in the paranormal claim it works.

I'm not convinced it does anything but make your house smell like a cheap cigar. That includes getting rid of bacteria. Most harmful bacteria is not airborne anyway.

[Gary Oak]

Eating a lot of garlic also gets rid of unwanted guests and can get keep people away from you during this coronavirus bullshiite.

[Blue Frost]

Your right Gary, but for me it also makes me sick of smelling myself.

[Blue Frost]

I eat mostly once a day since I got older, I don't eat a lot either, but I'm still 220 lbs.
