Intestinal infection from parasites has been recognized as a global health problem that can be particularly harmful to children under 5 years of age, with a greater prevalence of infection in developing countries. New research is showing that some bioactives may offer help. Researchers at the University of Illinois, including Juan Andrade, an assistant professor of global nutrition in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at U of I, have worked to address the nutrition needs of populations in low-income settings, in terms of malnutrition from inadequate nutrient intake or because of a person’s health status.

Ever since oil of oregano came out as being a miracle cure for a variety of ailments, I began to hear personal testimonies from close friends. After waiting over six months for one gentleman to write up his story using oil of oregano to resolve literally all of his health problems (a huge list being in his 80s), I decided to write an article on the benefits of this natural product myself. And since I actually have my own testimony with a persistent ear infection that quite literally disappeared after 24 hours of treatment, I am more motivated than ever to incorporate oil of oregano into my daily regimen.
Oregano essential oil (OEO) is one of the most widely used essential oils worldwide due to its huge therapeutic benefits. Nevertheless, data on the effects of the endemic species Origanum minutiflorum, also known as wild or Turkish oregano, is scarce. On the other hand, various chronic lung diseases, characterised by persistent inflammation, oxidative stress, and common bacterial infections, do not have effective pharmacological therapy. Hence, the aim of this study is to examine the effects of wild oregano essential oil (WOEO) on human bronchial epithelial cells and lung pathogens.
Fans of hot, spicy cuisine can thank nasty bacteria and other food-borne pathogens for the recipes that come — not so coincidentally — from countries with hot climates. Humans’ use of antimicrobial spices developed in parallel with food-spoilage microorganisms, Cornell biologists have demonstrated in an international survey of spice used in cooking.
Oregano may be effective against dangerous drug-resistant bacteria. Studies have shown that oregano oil (with carvacrol) as antibacterial reduced infection as effectively as traditional antibiotics.
