(copper surfaces) "Science suggests that copper surfaces affect bacteria
in 2 sequential steps: the 1st step is a direct interaction between the
surface & the bacterial outer membrane, causing the membrane to
rupture. The 2nd is related to the holes in the outer membrane, through which the cell loses vital nutrients & water, causing a general weakening of the cell." |

The Secret Life of Germs Philip M Tierno notes that phages
(bacterial viruses) can kill specific germs. Soviets have led in this research. The Eliava Institute in Tbilisi has the largest phage library in the world, with more than 300 phage types. www.simonsays.com |

Oregano (wild organic) (mountain hyssop)
(Syrian) (Escap) -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqZwgrCiZcU&feature=related + http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Za'atar A za'atar Arabic herb "Origanum syriacum (also known as Bible hyssop, Syrian oregano and wild marjoram)" rather than & NOT "Origanum majorana (sweet marjoram)...Some Israeli companies market za'atar commercially as "hyssop" or "holy hyssop". (However) Hyssopus officinalis is never found in the wild in Israel, but Origanum vulgare (which is not Biblical Hyssop) is extremely common.[13] Ecologists state that plants like wild za'atar were on the verge of extinction in Israel due to over-harvesting, & 1977 Israeli legislation declared it a protected species.[30][31] Violators face heavy fines. Some Arab citizens of Israel (who traditionally picked the wild herbs,[31]) have claimed that the legislation of 1977 seems 'almost anti-Arab.'[32] There is a similar Israeli military administration ban on gathering wild thyme or za'atar in the West Bank, & za'atar plants were confiscated from Palestinians at IDF checkpoints in 2006.[33][34]... Maimonides (Rambam), a medieval rabbi & physician who lived in Spain, Morocco, & Egypt, prescribed za'atar for its health advancing properties.[43][44] |
