Unlike medications, supplement Dietary Supplements 3 makers do not have to prove their products are safe or effective. The FDA, however, can force a supplement from the market if it proves it is unsafe (nutrition.about.com, n.d.). Dietary supplements can be good for the body if there are substances lacking in the body. If a person has diseases, supplements can help control them. It is best to consult a doctor before taking supplements because they can interact with medications, causing bad reactions.
Clinical microbiology MLT1 Task 9 Antibiotic Sensitivity Chandra Evans A) Selectively Toxic is defined by the fact that the antimicrobial treatment used, destroys selective microorganisms, but doesn’t harm the host. Selective toxicity of an agent is necessary so that during treatment the agent will not affect or interact with the normal functioning microorganisms in the host. The agent will interact with microbial structures and functions that are not the same as the microbial structures of the host. B) Broad spectrum antimicrobials are effective against a large range of both Gram-negative and Gram-positive microorganisms A pro of this type of agent is the fact that a variety of bacteria is targeted at the same time when used. A con is the higher risk of destruction of normal body flora.
Royte’s excerpt makes many views of the effects of tap water and the different types of problems associated with drinking it. In many areas, they say it is okay to drink the tap water but there are a few instances where the water needs to be filtered. She explains the different types of bacteria’s in tap water around the United States but she does tell how the bottled water companies do not answer to the public and how they are being untruthful about their purification of water. Although she believes they are untruthful, she provides little evidence of that. She is being quite vague about her conclusion that water bottles are not the best source of water.
For example, Pollan talks about margarine, and how scientists “claim” that it is a better, and cheaper substitute for butter, but it contains all these unnecessary ingredients that could be more harmful to the human body. Scientist believed by taking out saturated fats and cholesterol they could make margarine healthier, but what they did not know was it would produce unhealthier fats known as, trans fats. People never think about how deep and revealing food can be, but after reading this novel it’ll open your eyes to what really lies
Scientists believe this method will transform the severe disease of Duchenne muscular dystrophy to a much milder Becker muscular dystrophy. For me, some pros to this approach would be a cure for a severe case of muscular dystrophy, but it is unfortunate that the patient will still have the disorder, just in a milder form. A con would be any side effects that exon skipping may have. Since there are not any recorded cases of this being done in the United States, it is hard to know whether or not exon skipping could be potentially dangerous to those who want to try the treatment since testing in human patients is still out of the question. Another con is within the administration of the treatment.
MDMA should be reviewed and rescheduled due to the fact that the initial scheduling reports were flawed, there are vast medical uses for MDMA in treating patients who have shown no improvements with other psychological treatments, and there is a very low possibility of death amongst users of unadulterated MDMA. Why must we withhold a drug that can be so very useful for the treatment of extreme mental conditions and possibly cure thousands of Americans of their
Clinicians can do a simple and painless urine test to find out if you have Chlamydia. Can you get rid of Chlamydia? Chlamydia can be cured with antibiotics. The best way to cure Chlamydia and keep from infecting your partner is to avoid sex for seven days until the antibiotics have done their job. If you decide to have sex during this time, it is really important that a condom is used or it is likely the medicine won’t have worked.
Hydrogen peroxide is used to cure common colds because it can kill bacteria but is used in very few quantities, for too much of the compound may be dangerous to the good bacteria in the skin. It is not frequently used and may not work if the procedure is done after the virus has already spread. A doctor in 1928 called Richard Simmons believed the rhinovirus, which was the virus that caused colds, found entry into the body through the ear or the mouth. By putting hydrogen peroxide in the patients' ears, it can kill any bacteria that is in the ear canal;thus, the virus can be destroyed before it spreads any further throughout the body.
Food Irradiation and Its Effects on Consumer Health Food irradiation is a process that the food industry uses to reduce harmful, disease causing bacteria and increase the shelf life of foods by destroying decay causing microbes. While this process has been proven to be safe by the Center for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration, public misconception of the process has created doubts as to its safety and effectiveness. Through public awareness and education of this process, many concerns and misbeliefs can be dispelled. Food irradiation is performed using three different technologies, using three different kind of rays: gamma rays, x-rays, and electron beams. The different uses will depend on the food being irradiated as each technology has strengths and weaknesses.
You may be asking yourself "How and why did people choose to buy Purell to feel protected from H191?". Well, Purell posted a statement on their website saying that "According to the Centers for Disease Control, one of the ways you can help protect yourself from Swine Flu is by practicing good hand hygiene. specifically using an alcohol-based sanitizer." What they are trying to insinuate is that their product is the key to good hygiene -- and that without it you
