An ancient concoction for eye infections seems to really work. The potion, which contains cattle bile, kills the "superbug" methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA, researchers at Britain's University of Nottingham report.
In fact, it worked better than the current gold standard for MRSA infections of the flesh, the antibiotic vancomycin, an expert at Texas Tech University found.
Now researchers are working to see just what's in the salve that kills germs so effectively.
It started with a joint project by two wildly different departments at the University of Nottingham.
Dr. Christina Lee, an Anglo-Saxon expert in the School of English, went to microbiologists in the Centre for Biomolecular Sciences with an ancient text — Bald's Leechbook. The 10th-century book has all sorts of remedies, detailed in Old English.
They picked a relatively simple eye salve calling for garlic, onions and cow bile, to be mixed with wine and aged in a copper vessel.
"We chose this recipe ... because it contains ingredients such as garlic that are currently being investigated by other researchers on their potential antibiotic effectiveness," Lee says in a video released by the university. "We also looked at a recipe that was relatively straightforward."
It didn't look exactly sanitary, even if onions and garlic are known to have some antimicrobial activity, and even if wine might kill some germs if the alcoholic content is high enough. Copper, also, has some antimicrobial properties. As for bile from a cow's stomach — maybe not so much.
Nonetheless, said Nottingham microbiologist Freya Harrison, "we recreated the recipe as faithfully as we could."
They even went to a vineyard that's been around since the 9th century for some wine, said the university's Steve Diggle.

Surprised someone at NBC has a brain..

The Benghazi bitch knows nothing about cattle futures.
Except she turned $1000 into $100,000 with her one and only cattle futures investment.
Stephens brokerage - I think was the firm. I think this was one of her earlier payoffs.
“The Benghazi bitch knows nothing about cattle futures.”
With the Benghazi thunder thighed bitch, cattle don’t have futures.
Just a serious "favor" for her....Read that as a money laundering deal. Plain and simple.
Tyson was involved...
I did business with Refco..back then. Anybody paying attention suspected as much....

Skip the cow bile and try just the garlic and onions.
On the death of Sesostris, his son Pheron, the priests said, mounted the throne. He undertook no warlike expeditions; being struck with blindness, owing to the following circumstance. The river had swollen to the unusual height of eighteen cubits, and had overflowed all the fields, when, a sudden wind arising, the water rose in great waves. Then the king, in a spirit of impious violence, seized his spear, and hurled it into the strong eddies of the stream. Instantly he was smitten with disease of the eyes, from which after a little while he became blind, continuing without the power of vision for ten years. At last, in the eleventh year, an oracular announcement reached him from the city of Buto, to the effect, that "the time of his punishment had run out, and he should recover his sight by washing his eyes with urine. He must find a woman who had been faithful to her husband, and had never preferred to him another man." [Herodotus, "Historia", book II 'Euterpe', trans. by George Rawlinson]
“try just the garlic and onions.”
I do...everyday,in/on everything along with sprinklings of turmeric/black pepper , saffron too.....
It wasn’t Stephens it was a commodities firm called Refco.
“It’s badly needed — antibiotics are rapidly losing ground against evolving bacteria. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization have been warning that the world could be about to enter a “post-antibiotic era” when fewer and fewer drugs will work to kill common infections.”
Oh, like you know better than a Leechbook scribe...
