British doctors conducted an interesting experiment and recreated potion according to the old English recipe of the ninth century, in order to check its effectiveness these days. The medicine did not disappoint them.
The treatment mixture almost completely destroyed ophthalmic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus barley. The bacterium is considered very resistant to antibiotics, and not every modern tool is able to cope with it, however a medieval medication effectively eliminated over ninety two percent colony bacteria.
Interestingly, the idea of this project did not originate in medical circles, as might be expected, but in historical ones. English Professor Frey Harrison Medieval history of his country, was very impressed with the information about the effectiveness of old medical recipes and decided to test them effectiveness in current realities. In the so-called balda nursing home he found a relatively simple prescription for the drug eye barley.
With the support of doctors, Harrison mixed in vitro garlic, leek, cow bile, red wine and some others components. A week later, the drug destroyed all outsiders bacteria that got into it with air and ingredients, i.e. self-sterilized. Next, experts added the mixture to sustainable to staphylococcus aureus and after a while saw that over ninety-two percent of the bacteria were killed.
According to Frey Harrison, the experiment once again proved that medications from natural ingredients are sometimes no worse, and sometimes even better than high-tech synthetic medicines with a similar purpose.
