Anti-inflammatory Onions have been used to reduce inflammation for centuries. Onions sulfurs are effective anti-inflammatory agents. For this reason onions are considered often a home remedy for asthmatic symptoms.
They can even reduce inflammation in blood vessels which reduces the risk of heart disease. The quercetin in onions can help with arthritis pain by easing swelling and joint stiffness.
Immune system Onions can promote a strong immune system by eliminating free radicals improving the effectiveness of Vitamin c in your body
Eating a large amount of green onions or rapidly increasing your consumption of green onions may interfere with blood thinning drugs.

The doctors tested the girl for an allergy to streptomycin an antibiotic used as a pesticide on fruit.
And indeed she reacted to streptomycin in much the same way as she had responded to the blueberry pie.
Although the researchers did not have access to enough of the pie to confirm that it contained streptomycin specifically the study results suggests that the girl's allergic reaction was caused by streptomycin-contaminated blueberries the researchers said.
Allergic reactions to antibiotics in food such as beef and milk are rare but have been reported. The new study is the first to link an allergic reaction to antibiotics in fruit the researchers said.
The findings serve as a reminder to doctors in cases of unexplained allergic reaction. Don't forget to think about antibiotics said study researcher Dr. Anne Des Roches an allergist at CHU Sainte-Justine a health center affiliated with the University of Montreal in Quebec.
Allergic reaction to antibiotics in food are underdiagnosed because doctors cannot simply check a product label for antibiotics;
they have to send the sample to special laboratories to perform an analysis Des Roches said.

Use of antibiotics in agriculture has received criticism because it may contribute to the rise of antibiotic resistance.
Some countries have banned the use of antibiotics for growing food but the practice is allowed in the United states and Canada.
Recently the U s. Food and Drug Administration took steps to help phase out the use of certain antibiotics in livestock;
the drugs had been used to help animals gain weight faster. Stricter policies to reduce antibiotic contaminants in foods will not only help to fight antibiotic resistance
but may also reduce the type of rare allergic reaction that the girl in the study experienced the researchers said.

We've shown quite clearly that lycopene improves the function of blood vessels in cardiovascular disease patients Dr. Joseph Cheriyan a consultant clinical pharmacologist
In the study 36 cardiovascular disease patients and 36 healthy people took Ateronon an over-the-counter lycopene supplement or a placebo.
Neither the researchers administering the pills nor the study participants knew which treatment was being provided.
The cardiovascular disease patients had also been taking statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) but their blood-vessel function was impaired still compared with the healthy participants'blood-vessel function.

A patient s gout will not get better until they start taking uric-acid-lowering drugs. Patients need to know that their serum uric acid level should be below the target of 6 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl.
or even controlled completely with the right medications and lifestyle choices Edwards said. In most cases long-term medications for lowering uric acid will be used to treat gout
and prevent flares gout. Generally patients with gout will need to be on these drugs for life.
If they stay on them over time their gout symptoms and risk of deformity or disability will be decreased greatly Edwards added.
The painful symptoms of gout can be alleviated by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) which can reduce both pain and inflammation around the joints according to the University of Maryland.
Depending on the severity of the flare-ups patients can be treated with over-the-counter NSAIDS such as ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) or with prescription-strength painkillers such as indomethacin (available under the trade name Indocin.
Another pain reliever commonly used to reduce gout pain is colchicine. It is most effective when taken within the first 12 hours of symptoms according to NIAMS.
Beyond medications patients can also control the frequency of flare-ups through exercise and diet adjustments.

Antibiotic resistance Moran's research has revealed that bacteria in the guts of honeybees are highly resistant to the preventive antibiotic tetracycline probably the result of decades of exposure to it because of its use by beekeepers to prevent bacterial diseases.
Moran's team identified eight different tetracycline resistance genes among U s. honeybees that were exposed to the antibiotic
but the genes were largely absent in bees from countries where such antibiotic use is banned.
The antibiotic resistance study was an early hint about the dynamic nature of these genomes she adds.
It turns out that in the United states antibiotics have been used widely in beekeeping since the 1950s mostly tetracycline.
And the gut microbiota of U s. honeybees is a treasure trove of tetracycline resistance genes that have been transferred horizontally from other bacteria.
Some products cannot have probiotics The researchers on the panel noted that the term probiotics has been misused on products such as mattresses shampoos disinfectants and aftershave probably as a marketing effort that's not based on any scientific finding.

An additional plus is that replacing antibiotics with phages during the fermentation process increases the marketability of the dried distillers-grain byproduct (the potential animal feed)
which can be labeled as antibiotic free. Developing phage products to control such bacteria during ethanol fermentation represents an attractive phage application in the larger picture of industrial microbiology.

Other drugs that affect stomach acid have been linked to poor Vitamin b12 absorption including the cholesterol drug cholestyramine;
the antibiotics chloramphenicol and neomycin; and the gout treatment colchicine. The diabetes drug metformin may interfere with the body's absorption of Vitamin b12 not through stomach acid but because of the drug's effect on calcium

#Livestock Workers May Carry Staph Bacteria from Pigs Workers who handle livestock may carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria in their noses after they leave the farm.
and some carried drug-resistant strains of the bug including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA.
Over the past several decades it's become standard practice for farmers to give animals such as chickens and pigs regular doses of antibiotics.
However the increasing use of antibiotics has encouraged the evolution of drug-resistant strains of bacteria.
Antibiotic-resistant strains of staph such as MRSA can be the most damaging because they can be very difficult to treat.
Six of the workers persistently carried the variety of Staphylococcus aureus that is resistant to multiple drugs
and is known as MDRSA (multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and one worker persistently carried MRSA. Some of the workers still had the bacteria in their noses even after they spent four days off work and away from the hog farm.

Numerous medications can cause intrinsic stains. If children take the antibiotics tetracycline and doxycycline while their teeth are still developing (before the age of 8) their teeth may turn brownish-yellow.
During adulthood chlorhexidine an antiseptic used in prescription-strength mouthwash to treat gingivitis can cause discolorations.
Likewise the acne-fighting drug minocycline a derivative of tetracycline stains teeth. Even relatively common drugs such as antihistamines and blood pressure medications can sometimes yellow teeth.
Excessive fluoride ingestion and chemotherapy directed at the head and neck also result in intrinsic stains.
Aside from extrinsic and intrinsic stains two other factors can contribute to yellow teeth: genetics and aging.
