Testing Garlic

[NoExcuses]

A novel approach to fight PA infections in the lungs of people with CF is being tested in a new pilot study in the UK. Volunteers with CF will be given capsules of either garlic extract or placebo (olive oil) for 2 months and teh levels of bacteria in their sputum will be measured.

The potential of garlic extract as an antipseudomonal agent was supported by the results of a study conducted in Denmark. In that study, exposure of PA to garlic extract made the bacteria more sensitive to tobramycin and to immune defense system cells. The garlic extract also provided mice with more significant protection from PA lung infections.

Safety of the extract will be examined in addition to any potentially positive effects on weight and lung function

That's very interesting! Thank you for posting. I'm so thankful for the scientists, and everyone involved who are helping us everyday fight CF and coming up with new therapies!

Recenct studies show that in vivo garlic has immune modulating benefits...it increases glutathione AND raises gamma interferon. By doing these two things it stimulates the T(h)1 immune response and in effect turns off the T(h)2 response.

Research is now underway to determine the Best way to turn off the T(h)2 response in cystics....

Healthy cystics experience a T(h)1 immune response...while those who are sick experience a T(h)2 response. T(h)2 is characterized by low gamma interferon high interleukin 4, 5, 6, 10 and TNF alpha ...and low glutathione.

Interestingly, research now shows why zithromax is so beneficial to cf patients. It stimulates gamma interferon and modulates the immune syatem from a T(h)2 to a T(h)1 immune response.

Start looking for the many benefits of food in your fight against cf....

Probiotics, especially lactobacillus GG, turn on the type one rsponse T)h)1 and increase gamma interferon...and THAT is why they are so beneficial and how they decrease inflammation.
