On your next trip to the grocery or drugstore, you might notice that the majority of soaps on the shelves are labeled as anti-bacterial. We have been bombarded with propaganda about these soaps and most of us believe they...
Misuse of antibiotics is the leading cause of emerging antimicrobial resistance — a public health crisis in the making. Inappropriate prescribing practices by health care providers contributes greatly to this problem, but now there is evidence that everyday cleaning and hand-washing may also contribute to the growing trend of antimicrobial resistance.

I think I’ve mentioned before that Jenna’s medical issues have transformed me into a germaphobe. I never thought about germs as much as I do now. But when a common cold quickly evolves into pneumonia requiring hospitalization, you start thinking about these things a lot more. The nights we’ve been up with a baby struggling [...]

I was trying to remember when America became so germ phobic. It came to me that the early 90s was when antibacterial became a buzz word. Everything from antibacterial body wash to baby clothes was manufactured along with increasingly powerful antibiotics all with the purpose of keeping super bugs away from our families. For those just cruising through, my baby has MRSA. And antibacterial produ
Usually individuals above the age group of 30 are the favored patrons of an eyelid surgery procedure. Sagging upper lids and baggy lower lids are very common reasons why people in this age group opt for a blepharoplasty. Sadly, it also makes most of these individuals susceptible to contracting an infection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus better known as MRSA or simply 'staph'. A
The treatment of bladder infection can be considered into two separate categories: antibiotic and naturopathic.
The type of the treatment for bladder infection depends on the medical history and the urine test.

Numerous medical reports have shown that honey rates extremely well in comparison to conventional dressing material in its effectiveness in the treatment of wounds.
Honey has also a potent antibacterial activity and is very effective in clearing infection in wounds. Moreover, honey could protect wounds from being infected.
In fact, the antibacterial of honey is coming from hydrogen peroxide,
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the next class of products to be infected with recall-itis. Studies have shown that antibacterial soap is no better than regular soap and water when it comes to stopping bacterial growth. And, they could lead to super germs that are resistant to antibiotics.
A ban on antibacterial products would be huge. But what I’m more concerned about are these super germs. We have every antibacterial product you could imagine - soaps, wipes, toys - so my house is probably ground zero for super germs.

Given the increasing popularity of organic foods and the rising concern about products genetically modified organisms, it is not surprising to see a line of skin care products created with totally natural ingredients. Such is the case of the Manuka products from Manu Nutraceuticals in New Zealand. Their primary active ingredient comes from the New Zealand Tea Tree (Leptospermum scoparium) a bush known locally as the Manuka plant.The aboriginal Maori people of New Zealand, who have lived in the area for perhaps 1000 years, recognized that the Manuka tea tree plant could be used for its therapeutic and healing properties. For example, they used the leaves and back of the Manuka bush to treat colds, fever, digestive ailments, burns and other wounds.Although early settlers in New Zealand also appreciated that many of their local plants had useful medicinal properties, it was not until the 1980s when scientists started studying the properties of the essential oil of the Manuka plant. They d
According to a recent report, the plethora of antibacterial soaps, cleaners and detergents may be doing us harm in the long-run. These products are designed, of course, to eliminate bacteria that would otherwise inhibit diseases/conditions like tuberculosis, food poisoning, cholera, pneumonia, strep throat and meningitis - to name a few.
The old school approach is to use products with soap, bleach, alcohol or hydrogen peroxide in them. Alcohol and hydrogen peroxide eliminate all bacteria in its path while leaving no residue because it simply evaporates. Soaps on the other hand lift, trap and carry away the dirt and bacteria. The newer antibacterial products do a more selective cleaning of a given area while leaving a slight reside behind which is meant have a prophylactic effect on a given surface. But what lab tests are revealing is, there is a potential for the residual bacteria (that is exposed to the antibacterial residue) to mutate to a resistant strain. Think of it in terms of a

Hey fellow Hiffers, I’m back from my little trip! In fact, getting on HIF, checking out the forums, and making this new post was some of the first things I did when I got home. The only thing I did beforehand was wash my actual hands since my mom used to go crazy whenever I didn’t wash my hands as a kid. In fact, she would have loved this free Dial antibacterial deodorant soap because according to her, if the soap wasn’t antibacterial, it wasn’t even worth using! It’s a wonder none of my family ended up developing OCD when it came to having clean hands.
