Great news if it can be duplicated: 1,000-year-old onion and garlic eye remedy kills MRSA
Scientists recreated a 9th Century Anglo-Saxon remedy using onion, garlic and part of a cow’s stomach.
They were “astonished” to find it almost completely wiped out methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, otherwise known as MRSA.
Their findings will be presented at a national microbiology conference.
These were laboratory findings, which is great, but can it be used internally with the same efficacy?
It makes sense that not having seen this treatment for centuries, the bacteria wouldn’t be selecting for resistance, as they probably did a millennium ago when it was used for eye infections.
