Dirt Is Good. This Time, For Kids! Dr. Jack Gilbert Gives Us Even More Reasons

The Joys of Cross-Contamination:
So as children go back to school, one of the joys that comes with the territory is sickness.

Schools, ball-pits, & daycare-centers are like stock-exchanges for millions of short little typhoid-marys, infecting eachother with God knows what.

And as other scientists from Duke and IC-L have mystifyingly said before,

That may actually not be such a bad thing…

Video: Is Organic Food Really That Much Better For You? -Or Could It Actually Be Worse?


Is The Organic Premise Right In The First Place?:
So, lots of people believe in food that’s decomplicated and grown in ways similar to those of 100 years ago as the path to good nutrition.

And recently, Organic seems to have taken that place at the grocery store for people who don’t hit up the farmers’ markets.

Many people even think that Organic means No Pesticides at-all and that it’s more natural, less dangerous to you and the environment, and ultimately healthier.

But is any of that true? -In this video, ASAPScience decides to find out…

Not Just For LOLs:
And now as a reward for surviving tax season, I give you: The Healing Power Of Cats!

While she may put the benefits down to just purring, infographic artist Gemma Busquets is still on the right track.

Several health benefits have been attributed to general pet ownership. For Example: slightly reducing your stress for next tax season by saving you money.

-Because you’ll have to visit the doctor a total of 4% less than a dog owner, and 12% less than someone without a pet. And speaking of health benefits…

Hygiene Hypothesis FTW, Part V: Chance & Social-Network Helps Revolutionize Peanut & Food Allergies

Hygiene Hypothesis FTW, Part V: Chance & Social-Network Helps Revolutionize Peanut & Food Allergies

Chalk another one up for The Hygiene Hypothesis and good old-fashioned Chance.

In a somewhat-risky move, scientists have found a way to help children who weren’t already allergic to peanuts to stay that way.

And the lead doc got the idea when he noticed his faraway friend’s patients had much fewer allergies. -Because giving peanut-snacks to babies over there was something they just do.

So after testing them first to make sure no fatal reactions would occur,…

DAMMIT!!!

I thought this was going to be a THE cure for normal DHT-based Male-Pattern Baldness.

-But NOooOOOOooo!!! :(

Okay, okay, okay; it’s no less impressive that the patient in question, who had both Plaque-Psoriasis and (just like our old .000001%-er pal John D. Rockefeller) Total Hair-Loss on his entire body, -was cured of Both conditions by the drug-wizardry cooked up by Yale’s scientists.

 
Not only that but so far…

[ok wait, that didn’t sound ~Exactly as good as the original by Hippocrates; … -whatever. Close enough for government work. Moving on…]

-For many of us who have done any kind of research about health, it can be a difficult and obscure endeavor.

Oftentimes there are answers hidden in odd contexts, making it difficult to separate vapor from substance; with lots of trial and error. It can feel at times, a very lonely wilderness.

-Especially when the standard, “Antibiotics, Bloodwork & Stethoscopes” approach doesn’t have all the answers…

Okay, so keep in-mind that a little while back we told you that you were your microbes and how lots of them affect you in “No Man Is An Island”…

Fast-forward to 3 years ago when the 2 magic ingredients of curiously-healthy mice and immune cells called Th17s combined in the persons of Drs. Mathis and Littman.

Because Immunologists are the House-ian cool-kids of the science world, and much like freestyle-rap-battlers, they hang out and talk a…
