(Natural News) One of the most important areas of scientific research for combating SARS-CoV-2 involves understanding cytokines and mitigating cytokine storm. Cytokines are cell signaling molecules that facilitate immune responses. These molecules communicate between cells to stimulate the movement of immune responsive cells toward sites of inflammation and infection. Israeli scientists have found that yogurt […]

(Natural News) If you’ve ever wondered why your body reacts differently despite being given the same medication as other people, the bacteria living in your gut may be to blame. In a study published in the journal Nature, researchers from Yale University found that gut microbiome – the colony of microorganisms that live inside the human gastrointestinal tract – can […]

(Natural News) Are antibiotics a form of biological warfare, weakening your ability to fight infections? A new study published in Cell Reports condemns the use of prescription antibiotics because these drugs suppress innate immune signals. Antibiotics may actually increase your risk of getting the flu and having complications from any infection because they suppress an […]

(Natural News) Statistics indicate that about 12 percent of American women – that’s one in every eight – will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer at some point in their lives. And, of course, breast cancer does not only strike women; men are also at risk of developing the disease. While overall death rates from […]

(Natural News) Coffee is part of almost every person’s morning routine. This beloved beverage boosts your energy and helps you focus when it’s crunch time at school or work and it makes mornings just a bit more bearable for night owls. But have you ever wondered why drinking coffee sometimes makes you want to go? […]

(Natural News) New research published in the journal Annals of Rheumatic Diseases has identified an interesting link between lupus and imbalanced gut bacteria, suggesting that probiotic optimization may be one of the keys to better managing this debilitating illness. After investigating the microbial makeup of 78 female participants, 61 of whom had previously been diagnosed […]

(Natural News) Leaky gut syndrome (LGS) is a silent killer, often misdiagnosed or ignored. Your susceptibility to infection, sickness, and pain begins here, in the gut. Your gut is the crucible where disease processes either begin or come to an end. The small intestine is equipped with villi. This intelligent, protective barrier permits nutrients to […]

(Natural News) Bacteria and viruses are not the only tiny hitchhikers during outer space that might endanger the health of astronauts. Recently, Belgian researchers brought up concerns about microscopic fungi living aboard space stations and spacecraft, especially the upcoming missions to the moon and Mars. Experts know very little about the potential pathogenic properties of […]

(Natural News) The genetic evolution of bacteria is occurring at a rapid pace, and aberrations of bacterial DNA are transferring from one species to the next. These genetic deviations, spurred by antibiotics, are now transferring from humans to animals. For the first time ever, researchers have isolated antibiotic-resistant bacteria samples from household pets. Recently, a […]

(Natural News) One of the greatest challenges facing modern medicine today is antibiotic resistance. Almost a century since Penicillin was first discovered in strains of mold, medical science has isolated thousands of defensive, antibiotic compounds from microbes. These bio-active microbial metabolites have been mass produced as antibiotics to help humans fight infections. Because the human […]
