Something To Think About

Germs in Soil Find Antibiotics Tasty
Apr 3, 2008
By LAURAN NEERGAARD

WASHINGTON (AP) - Antibiotics for breakfast? The drugs are supposed to kill bacteria, not feed them. Yet Harvard researchers have discovered hundreds of germs in soil that literally gobble up antibiotics, able to thrive with the potent drugs as their sole source of nutrition.

These bacteria outwit antibiotics in a disturbingly novel way, and now the race is on to figure out just how they do it - in case more dangerous germs that sicken people could develop the same ability.

On the other hand, the work explains why the soil doesn't harbor big antibiotic buildups despite use of the drugs in livestock plus human disposal and, well, excretion, too.

"Thank goodness we have those bacteria to eat at least some of the antibiotics," said bacteriologist Jo Handelsman of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who wasn't involved in the study. "Nature's pretty effective."
 
The discovery, published in Friday's edition of the journal Science, came about almost by accident.

A team led by Harvard Medical School geneticist George Church has a Department of Energy grant to develop ways to create biofuels from agriculture waste. Plants are full of natural toxins, so the goal was to find microorganisms in soil capable of breaking down certain of those chemicals. To winnow down the strongest candidates, they tried exposing these bacteria to what should have been far more toxic substances, antibiotics.

That bacteria can eat weird things is the basis for the field of bioremediation. Some bugs help break down oil spills, for example.

Nor is it a surprise that soil bacteria can withstand some antibiotics; some had already been found. After all, a number of antibiotics are natural - think penicillin. Some antibiotics have been derived from soil.

Instead, the surprise was how many bacteria didn't just survive but flourished when fed 18 different antibiotics, natural and manmade ones - including such staples as gentamicin, vancomycin and Cipro - that represent the major classes used in treating people and animals.

Church's team gathered soil from 11 spots in Massachusetts, Minnesota and Pennsylvania, from city parks to pristine forest to a cornfield fertilized with antibiotic-containing manure.

Bacteria prefer to eat sugars, like rotting fruit. Put in laboratory dishes to subsist only on antibiotics, the germs grew a little more slowly but the researchers found every drug tested could support growth of some bacteria.

More disturbing, a number of bacteria could withstand levels of antibiotics that were 50 to 100 times higher than would be given to a patient.

"They were not only resistant, they were super-resistant," Church said.

"I guess we weren't really thinking about it as something that bacteria would just eat for breakfast," he added. "They are capable of living on this stuff for a long, long time."

The finding comes amid increasing concern that many infections could soon become untreatable, as more bacteria become immune to today's antibiotics even as few new drugs are being discovered.

But the medical impact of the new work isn't yet clear. Germs in soil aren't big human threats, and no human pathogen has been spotted with the same ability. Still, many of the soil bacteria tested are relatives of human pathogens, including a notorious E. coli strain.

So the next step, under way now in Church's lab, is to identify the actual genes that let these bacteria devour and degrade antibiotics. Then the question becomes whether that genetic mechanism is something soil bacteria might be able to transfer to human pathogens, thus making them more drug-resistant.

Wisconsin's Handelsman says gene pathways involved in metabolism are far larger and more complex than the type of single-gene resistance often seen in human pathogens. "It's not really as bleak as that."

And Church agrees his work is "not entirely all bad news. ... It gives us some time to get ahead of it and figure out if it really poses a threat."

REPAIR AND/OR KEEP YOUR BRAIN WORKING 

Alzheimer's disease is the leading cause of dementia in the elderly and is the fourth leading cause of death in developed nations (after heart disease, cancer and stroke). Up to 70% of dementias are due to Alzheimer's disease, with blood vessel disease (stroke and atherosclerosis) being the second most common cause. Each year it is coming on in younger and younger people therefore these figures will be obsolete in a few short years, if not months! 

For those who aspire to live a very long life, dementia is a threat second only to death. Some believe that dementia is a natural way to end life. It does not have to be when the body is given the proper nutrients daily... 

There are over 100,000 deaths per year related to Alzheimer's disease. Four million people and their families suffer from this disease. Annual costs to the United States from Alzheimer's disease are over $60 billion. That's money out of our pockets... If a treatment that only delayed (not cured) the onset of the disease by five years, costs to society would decrease by about half and save $30 billion to $40 billion each year in this country alone. (Martin 1999) 

Free radical damage is probably the most significant cause of biologic aging. It is well-known that neurons are extremely sensitive to attacks by destructive free radicals. The following evidence supports the hypothesis of free-radical damage being a central cause in Alzheimer's disease: (Christen 2000) 

The brain lesions present in the brains of Alzhemier's disease patients are typically associated with attacks by free radicals caused by lack of antioxidants in the brain. 

Free radical scavengers (antioxidants along with Ginkgo Biloba herb) have produced promising results in study after study for Alzheimer's disease. Both found in MIND POWER FORMULA

A second reason for aging brain problems has been shown to exist more in sedentary people. Those who do not continue to use the brain productively. Sitting in front of the TV all day will speed up dementia, simply from not using the brain. 

Two major changes can make a world of difference in holding off and possibly preventing dementia or Alzheimer’s altogether. 

Put the brain to work with a variety of things, reading, puzzles, writing (if nothing more than doing a daily journal of your daily happenings), exercise and supplement with minerals, Mind Building Herbs and Antioxidant supplements EVERY DAY!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
=======================

Almost 18 months after publication of a study on lung cancer screening in the New England Journal of Medicine, the study's lead author, Dr. Claudia Henschke, has disclosed that her study was funded to the tune of $3.6 million by the tobacco industry. The money came from Liggett Tobacco, and was channeled through an innocent-sounding charity - the Foundation for Lung Cancer: Early Detection, Prevention & Treatment - that was set up by Dr. Henschke at Weill Cornell Medical Center.

According to a front-page article by Gardiner Harris in the New York Times, Dr. Henschke is listed as the Foundation's president. David Yankelevitz, MD, one of the study's co-authors, served as the Foundation's treasurer. The Dean of Weill Cornell Medical College, Antonio Gotto, MD, and the vice-chairman of the Weill Cornell board of overseers, Arthur J. Mahon, served on the Foundation's board of directors. This unsavory relationship came to light when the Times examined the Foundation's tax records (Harris, 2008). Dr. Henschke has been among the most vocal proponents of screening smokers and former smokers in an effort to detect lung cancer in its earliest stages. The unspoken subtext of her argument seems to have been that lung cancer is not such a terrible disease if it can be caught early and cured - a message that would certainly serve the propaganda interests of the tobacco industry.

Carcinogens Found in "Organic" Personal Care Products

A study commissioned by the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) found that many leading "natural" and "organic" brand shampoos, body washes, and lotions contain the carcinogenic contaminant 1,4-Dioxane.

1,4-Dioxane is considered a chemical "known to the State of California to cause cancer.? It is a byproduct of the cancer-causing petrochemical Ethylene Oxide, which is used as part of a short-cut process called Ethoxylation, which makes harsh ingredients milder.

1,4-Dioxane is also suspected of being a kidney toxicant, neurotoxicant and respiratory toxicant, among others, according to the California EPA. It is also a leading groundwater contaminant.

Some of the leading organic and natural brands found to contain 1,4-Dioxane include:
JASON Pure Natural & Organics
Giovanni Organic Cosmetics
Kiss My Face
Nature?s Gate Organics
In order to avoid 1,4-dioxane, OCA recommends reading ingredient labels and avoiding products with indications of ethoxylation, which include: "myreth," "oleth," "laureth," "ceteareth," any other "eth," "PEG," "polyethylene," "polyethylene glycol," "polyoxyethylene," or "oxynol," in ingredient names.

Amalgam Fillings: Norway is first to ban mercury in teeth
Saturday, March 29, 2008


Mercury has been banned from all dental fillings in Norway. Dentists in the country had to start using safer alternatives as a matter of law from the beginning of this year. The metal has also been banned from all products, including measuring instruments.

The country had previously restricted the use of amalgam fillings, especially in children and pregnant and nursing women, but is the first in the world to enforce a complete ban.

Announcing the ban, Norway's Minister of Environment and Development Erik Solheim said: "Mercury is among the most dangerous environmental toxins. Satisfactory alternatives to mercury in products are available, and it is therefore fitting to introduce a ban."

Norway is concerned that mercury in our teeth and in the environment is extremely dangerous, and can harm the development of children.

Unfortunately for Norway, most of the mercury in its environment comes from other countries that take a more relaxed view to one of the most toxic substances known to man.

Don't expect our dental guardians in the UK and the USA to follow their lead any time soon.

STUDY LINKS PARKINSON'S DISEASE TO LONG-TERM PESTICIDE EXPOSURE
By Alok Jha, science correspondent

Scientists have found further evidence of a link between Parkinson's disease and long-term exposure to pesticides.

A study of more than 300 people with the neurological disease -- which can affect movements such as walking, talking and writing -- found that sufferers were more than twice as likely to report heavy exposure to pesticides over their lifetime as family members without the disease.

Previous studies have pointed to a possible link between pesticide exposure and Parkinson's and public authorities are trying to work out whether these risks should be classed as significant. A £906,000 project to study the links launched in 2006 by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, for example, is due to report this summer.

Variations in several genes have been identified that contribute to the disease, but these defects are rare and only account for a small proportion of the incidence of the disease, which afflicts around 120,000 people in the UK. The majority of cases are thought to be a result of an interaction between genes and the environment.

Lifetime exposure

The new research, led by American scientists, looked at the lifetime pesticide exposure of 319 Parkinson's patients and more than 200 of their relatives without the disease. The results, published today in the journal BMC Neurology, showed that people with Parkinson's were 1.6 times as likely to report an exposure to pesticides in their lifetimes compared with the controls.

In addition, people with the Parkinson's were 2.4 times as likely as people without the disease to report heavy exposure to pesticides, classed as more than 215 days over a lifetime.

The strongest associations were between people with Parkinson's who had been exposed to herbicide and insecticide chemicals such as organochlorides and organophosphates. No links were found between Parkinson's disease and drinking well-water or living or working on a farm, two commonly used proxies for pesticide exposures.

"In this dataset, these tended to be people who used a lot of pesticides in their homes and in their hobbies," said William Scott of the University of Miami, who took part in the study. "There were not many people who routinely used pesticides for their occupation."

Though the evidence is growing, the researchers said that there was not enough biological evidence yet to conclude that Parkinson's was definitely caused by pesticide exposure. The biological mechanism linking the two is still unknown. The researchers added that future genetic studies of Parkinson's could consider the influence of pesticides, because exposure to these chemicals may  trigger the disease in genetically predisposed people.

Key role

Kieran Breen, director of research at the Parkinson's Disease Society (PDS), said: "The association between pesticides and Parkinson's has been recognised for some time, and this study supports this link and strengthens the fact that pesticides play a key role."

The PDS has carried out a survey of more than 10,000 people with Parkinson's and preliminary results show that 9% had long-term pesticide or herbicide exposure, which is defined as exposure for more than a year.

"Of the 3,000 carers surveyed, most of whom were family members, less than 2% had had similar exposure," said Breen. "This demonstrates that pesticides may be contributing to nerve cell death in some people with Parkinson's, but is unlikely to be the only cause."

Symptoms of the disease first tend to appear when a patient is older than 50, and can include tremors and muscle rigidity. The Parkinson's Disease Society estimates that around 10,000 new diagnoses of the disease are made ever year in the UK.

LENA'S COMMENT: This was a very small study group but one that is telling... While I realize that many different exposures to many different substances can contribute to an illness there is one thing I know that can help prevent illnesses and diseases - A STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM! That can only happen when the body is given the daily supplements, food and exercise to keep the immune system strong enough that exposure to whatever the toxin/bacteria/virus is the body can handle it and filter it through the body or prevent it from even getting into the body. There is one supplement that is the key to the immune system's health - Balanced Minerals!
