    `1,000-year-old Anglo-Saxon potion kills MSRA superbug`


    ​Cnn says it...it has to be true!Quote:
    The 10th-century "eyesalve" remedy was discovered at the British Library in a leather-bound volume of Bald's Leechbook, widely considered to be one of the earliest known medical textbooks.

    Quote:
    The recipe calls for two species of Allium (garlic and onion or leek), wine and oxgall (bile from a cow's stomach) to be brewed in a brass vessel.

    Quote:
    The researchers then tested their recipe on cultures of MRSA, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a type of staph bacterium that does not respond to commonly used antibiotic treatments.

    The scientists weren't holding out much hope that it would work -- but they were astonished by the lab results.

    "What we found was very interesting -- we found that Bald's eyesalve is incredibly potent as an anti-Staphylococcal antibiotic in this context," Harrison said.

    "We were going from a mature, established population of a few billion cells, all stuck together in this highly protected biofilm coat, to really just a few thousand cells left alive. This is a massive, massive killing ability`

    Mankind has always had this level of brainpower. We are no exception to that. In fact , if one looks at the mathematics and engineering used to build the pyramids this becomes quite evident. We'd have a hard time building those structures that accurately today! And they had no machines and no laser cutters, etc...--Tyr

    Drunk redneck aliens LMAO. Just what we need.

    It would however be an improvement on the current administration. At least rednecks will fight.
