MRSA is a bacterial infection which is resistant to methicillin and other antibiotics in the penicillin family.1 Although staph is a common bacterium found on the skin of healthy people2 , if staph gets into the body it can cause a minor infection such as boils or pimples or serious infections such as pneumonia or blood infections. In fact, MRSA symptoms are similar to those for any type of Staph infection: - Skin appears red and inflamed around wound sites; - In serious cases may include fever, lethargy, and headache; - Urinary tract infections, pneumonia, toxic shock syndrome, and even death.3 [Read More](https://blog.primohealth.com/prevent-staph-infections-naturally) 0 Comments ## [Tonifying the Colon with Triphala](https://blog.primohealth.com/tonifying-the-colon-with-triphala) ![Picture of Daniel Sanelli, M.Sc.](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/18cc72d6b6902b69f00313c2a3004f25) [Daniel Sanelli, M.Sc.](https://blog.primohealth.com/author/daniel-sanelli-m-sc) Apr 23, 2015 2:00:00 PM ![Tonifying the Colon with Triphala](https://blog.primohealth.com/hubfs/images/colon-health-blog.jpg) [immune health](https://blog.primohealth.com/topic/immune-health) [herbs & botanicals](https://blog.primohealth.com/topic/herbs-botanicals) [smart supplementation](https://blog.primohealth.com/topic/smart-supplementation) Constipation and improper elimination seem to be at an all-time high in many societies today. As a result, people looking for natural solutions may turn to ongoing magnesium supplementation; foods known to move the bowels, such as prunes; and herbs, such as cascara and senna. There are some potential harmful effects of using cascara and senna on an ongoing basis, as they do not address the cause of constipation. Considered "natural laxatives," they can create dependence and disrupt peristalsis (the natural contractions of the bowel).

This gentle flushing can aid in the elimination of toxin-containing waste in the colon, and relieve constipation by reestablishing regular bowel movements. While the use of enemas is ancient, this particular therapy dates back to the early 1900s and has a long history of clinical evidence from physicians who routinely saw the difference it made in their patients' symptoms. It is also surrounded in controversy, as many alternative healers make wild and fantastical claims of its benefits.

Balanced gastrointestinal (GI) flora is critical to the functioning of the immune system, synthesis of nutrients, and detoxification. Balanced GI flora is also necessary for regular and normal bowel movements. Flora imbalances can be caused by poor diet, illness, use of antibiotics, and stress. Symptoms can include persistent gas, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea. To maintain or rebalance GI flora, consider adding probiotics to your diet.

What these two herbs have in common is that they are effective at supporting and promoting short-term immune functions. ### **Echinacea** Centuries ago, Native Americans collected the root of the Purple Coneflower, Echinacea. Several species of Echinacea were collected and cherished by at least 14 tribes. This herb was a favorite folk medicine wherever it grew. Currently, Echinacea has been the subject of more than 350 scientific studies. In laboratory testing, Echinacea increases the immune system’s function in a few ways. Consequently, Echinacea may have applications for certain types of infections.

For people living without modern medicine and refrigeration, fermentation was a simple means of food preservation and a way to imbue foods with the health-enhancing properties of the live bacteria the gut needs to stay in balance. Fermented foods are a potent source of probiotics, which research has shown are essential to powering up the mucosal immune system in your digestive tract and producing antibodies to pathogens. Both are key to helping you maintain vibrant health.

As a dietary supplement, DHEA has many applications to human health. Following is a discussion of some of these applications. ### **How DHEA works** Aging is a gradual deterioration of our various organs and systems. It is not just "getting older." People don't simply die because they are older. Death results from failure of an organ or system.

If so, you’re not alone. Each year there are one billion cases of the common cold in the United States,1 and each year 5 to 20 percent of the population is infected with the flu.2 Oh well, that’s life. Nothing much you can do about it, right? In fact, there is a great deal you can do about it if you focus on promoting a strong, healthy immune system. In part, this can be achieved through the use of specific nutraceuticals. This article will address those nutraceuticals.
