This is fascinating stuff. A 1000 year old recipe from a 10th Century Anglo-Saxon medical book, as far as medical books went in the 10th Century, contains a potion which appears to be able to kill the MSRA (as well as other) antibiotic-resistant superbug.
I’ll be speaking with Dr. Jay Keystone, tropical infectious diseases specialist at Toronto General Hospital about this development. 21st Century medicine taking a backseat to 10th Century potions. What are the implications? I’m sure there will be many saying “told you!”By the way, how did ‘they’ (Today’s med researchers) find out this potion of garlic, onion or leak, wine and Oxgall (bile from a cow’s stomach) would thump MSRA? Everything, except the oxgall, could appear on or beside your dinner tonight.
