New alternative - therapy with virus

The new alternative to antibiotics is cured with the virus.
Since its míenlo discovered early last century, the fagoterapia has ulilizado to combat various diseases caused by bacteria.

This technique is to inoculate medical patient in bacteriophages or phages, a type of virus that infects bacteria to breed and just matándolas. But the fagoierapia fell into oblivion due to the rise of antibiotics and lack of knowledge to purify the phage.

In the former Soviet bloc, however, continued using it to treat their people. Hospital in Tbilisi, Georgia, one of the leaders in fagoierapia, Professor Guram Gvasalia and his team take decades researching it.

The center produces millions of phages to meet demand. The gain of water from a nearby river and, after checking its ability to eliminate a specific bacteria, the purified and stored. This type of virus, widespread in the biosphere, even in our body, is not harmful to us.

Georgian experts from the center found, on the other hand, how a biodegradable polymer impregnated with bacteriophages and the antibiotic ciprofloxacin was curing wounds infected by bacteria resistant to antibiotics.

This and other experiments carried out by various scientists, which have obtained similar results, have made in the West to reconsider a return to practices of the fagoterapia as an alternative to the disturbing emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

Hamburgers with radiation

The Department of Health U.S. government has gone one step further in his defence of the environment and nuclear company. Fearing spread of viruses resistant to antibiotics and evil "of mad cow disease", will be allowed to display the raw meat before turning it into hamburger for consumption of the average citizen.

It is intended that this destruction upon the elements of living of the meat has no impact on the body through ingestion, and that radiation levels in beef are normal.

The pressure of public opinion and the reports of several American universities collide with arguments in favour of nuclear irradiation.
We choose a lesser evil but it opens the door to experiments in man whose consequences can not be calculated at present.

Diarrhea frequent in children

The gastroenteritis are, after processes respiratory infections more prevalent in boys. As everyone knows, one of the typical symptoms of this disease is diarrhea.

Until five months the baby has defenses that his mother gave him, but from this age should make theirs. Vaccines and disease will develop its immune system, gastroenteritis and will have an important role in this process. Therefore, diarrhoea caused by infections are more common in the first five years.

But why the concerns especially gastroenteritis? The reasons are that the digestive system is immature young child to defend themselves and, furthermore, this body is more vulnerable because it has two points of contact with the outside world: the mouth and anus. Outside swarm germs responsible for the most common infections, bacteria (colis, salmonella ...), viruses and parasites. And is that harmful microorganisms are housed in all places.

If we could observe a small device with a view to enabling these microscopic beings, which would not only live in the dirtiest places like stagnant water, grass or floor, but also in toys and ... even in our hands!

In babies, the infection is established easily through the hands of adults, especially those who are preparing their food. When more grandecito and takes all the mouth, the objects are the most important source of pathogens. Later, the consumption of contaminated water or vegetables will lead to the typical epidemics of gastroenteritis, and therefore to diarrhoea.

Is it possible to avoid them?
Hygiene is crucial in preventing diseases. But neither is having little to like in a bubble, since only through contact with germs develop defenses that will enable it to combat them.

In addition to the sudden nature of acute diarrhoea, gastroenteritis can cause nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, sore retortijones and belly. Lee may be liquid or paste, smelling acid and mucous, even blood and pus. Whenever these symptoms appear immediately consult with the doctor.

Why sick?

Human beings like everything that dwells on earth, is the product of the environment and is governed by its laws, knows or not, you like it or not.

Like other species se ha ido adapting to survive, while a body has resilience, survives no-decompensation and sick. The latter happens to humans, because since the beginning of last century have occurred dizzying changes in our lifestyles, food and environment to which we can hardly adapt, without remaining aftermath: radiation, pesticides, dyes, preservatives, drugs (legal or not), noise pollution, sobreestres, electromagnetic fields generated by man, smog, UV perforation of the ozone layer, among many.

It is impossible for us adapt quickly to change much, the result are all kinds of degenerative diseases and idiopathic, in other words, which do not know their cause and if they are not viruses. A few decades Fleming discovered penicillin, the bacteria appeared defeated, then saw that it was not so simple, were discovered viruses, which are incomplete since they only have DNA or RNA (such as HIV) that are the most dangerous because they are retroviruses and lentivirus, and may have a long window period of six months or one year inclusive, during which are undetectable.

Recently, the British discovered so painful that even proteins can be deadly, we refer to the prions that cause the disease of mad cow disease. You never know the new pathogen that lies ahead and we wonder what to do with it. Relying on that scientists discovered antibiotics and vaccines to fight the ruthless microorganisms? The race is lost in advance, what history shows, far from disappearing diseases are multiplying. It is not the solution is to make our body unpleasant pathogen?, Perhaps a problem of land, half domestic than for pathogens and that in turn promotes our immune system. That's better than trying to kill microorganisms, with drugs that attack without much insight to the good and bad, not to mention the dangerous tendency to self: sometimes an antibiotic is prescribed either necessary but a doctor should decide, if not read contraindications and see.

If you weigh 70 kg. You have in your body more or less 20 Kg. bacteria and not want to know how much virus! Also for example, in your intestines have colibacilar that if spreads or can cause death (peritonitis) but instead are necessary, we staphylococcus skin, in other areas other pathogens (such as causing meningitis), each which instead causes no problems, the problem is when the body is unbalanced, the same thing happens with external pathogens if we are not able intestinal flora and a good balance sympathetic parasympathetic, our immune system will not be in the best position to defend themselves and Immunization. This is not easy to achieve in the current living conditions, but you can take some precautions, some measures of food hygiene, environmental and emotional that can improve our quality of life. We can begin by restricting the consumption of sugar white or black, and avoid canned foods containing dyes, preservatives (every one or two years leave to new additives market, after earlier had found that carcinogenic), restricts the consumption of meat (not Remember that you have only four canines), and chew your food well.
