(Natural News) We have been waging war with germs for the longest time, it seems. Since we were young, we have been taught that germs are harmful and that we should make sure we are clean all the time. It is a lesson that echoes even today, with the swaths of products that ensure you […]

(Natural News) New research has identified how the mouth acts as a trigger for the immune system’s defenses to kick in once the fungus Candida albicans – which causes oral thrush –  has invaded the body. The international team, led by the researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, studied how microbes inside the mouth called commensals, […]

(Natural News) According to a study published in 2016, scientists have discovered a bacteria “alarm clock” that can wake dormant Salmonella in the body which enables the bug to trigger a relapse. The researchers from Imperial College London say that the “alarm clock” is common among various types of bacteria, such as Salmonella and E. coli. […]

(Natural News) The rise of “superbugs” – antibiotic-resistant microbes such as MRSA – has been labeled a public health crisis by the World Health Organization. Meanwhile, healthcare costs continue to rise – while chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer and autoimmune disorders increase – at an alarming rate. Clearly, Western medicine […]

(Natural News) The global anti-aging industry was reportedly worth $250 billion in 2016 and is expected to grow to over $331 billion by 2021. This is hardly surprising given our infatuation with looking and feeling young, even though many of the solutions inside this industry are not adequately addressing the more fundamentally sound ways to achieve […]

(Natural News) Scientists at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland found that extreme inflammation – which can be caused in middle age by weight gain and high blood pressure or diabetes – could be a sign of impending Alzheimer’s disease. When the scientists observed 1,633 people between the ages of 45 and 65 who […]

(Natural News) Researchers discovered how the immune systems of certain species evolve to better adapt to new parasitic threats, all the while maintaining critical immune function that remained virtually unchanged for over millions of years, in a study published in the journal Nature Communications. Scientists from the University of East Anglia, U.K. and Dalhousie University, Canada […]

(Natural News) Are you scheduled for some kind of surgery in the near future? You might want to request that it take place in the daytime. A recent study by researchers from the U.K.’s Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology, published in the journal Translational Medicine, has found that wounds inflicted during the […]

(Natural News) A new study reveals that certain immune cells called neutrophils help the nervous system clear debris brought about by nerve damage before cell repair can take place, reports Science Daily. The research team studied mice and found that damaged nerve cells produce a stream of molecular “lures” that specifically attract neutrophils to the injury […]

(Natural News) Some viral infections can continue their existence even though the body that they are trying to penetrate has already triggered an immune response. University of Pennsylvania researchers reveal that acute viral infection cells enriched with defective viral genomes are more likely to survive infection than cells with full-length viral genomes. Viral infections, such […]
