I koʻu nānā ʻana ma waho o koʻu pukaaniani keʻena, ʻike wau i kahi ʻāina nani a me kahi mauu liʻiliʻi i uhi ʻia me nā pua melemele ʻālohilohi, a noʻonoʻo wau, "No ke aha i makemake ʻole ai nā kānaka i nā dandelion?" Ke hele mai nei lākou me nā ala ʻawaʻawa hou e hoʻopau ai i kēia "weed", mahalo wau i ko lākou ʻano olakino e pili ana i nā kiʻekiʻe o nā huaora, nā minela a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.
I kēia mau lā, ua hoʻohui nā ʻepekema i ka hiki ke hakakā i nā superbugs i ka papa inoa o nā pono olakino dandelion. Ua ʻike nā kānaka ʻepekema mai ke Kulanui ʻo Huaihai, Lianyungang, Kina he kūpono ka dandelion polysaccharides e kūʻē iā Escherichia coli (E. coli), Bacillus subtilis, a me Staphylococcus aureus.
Hiki i nā kānaka ke loaʻa i ka maʻi E. coli ma o ka hoʻopili ʻana me nā feces holoholona a kanaka. ʻOiai ʻaʻole paha ia, ʻo ke alapine e hoʻohaumia ʻia ai ka meaʻai a i ʻole ka wai i kēia maʻi bacteria e makaʻala iā ʻoe. ʻO ka ʻiʻo ka mea hewa nui ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Hiki i ka E. coli ke komo i loko o ka ʻiʻo i ka wā o ka ʻai ʻana a hoʻomau i ka hana inā ʻaʻole hiki i ka mahana o loko o ka ʻiʻo i ka wā kuke ʻana i 71 degere Celsius.
ʻO nā meaʻai ʻē aʻe e pili ana me ka ʻiʻo haumia hiki ke loaʻa i ka maʻi. Hiki ke loaʻa i ka waiu maka a me nā huahana waiu ka E. coli ma o ka hoʻopili ʻana i ka udder, a ʻo nā huaʻai a me nā huaʻai i hui pū ʻia me nā feces holoholona hiki ke loaʻa i ka maʻi.
Loaʻa ka hua bacteria i loko o nā loko ʻauʻau, loko a me nā kino wai ʻē aʻe a me ka poʻe holoi ʻole i ko lākou mau lima ma hope o ka hele ʻana i ka lua.
Ua noho mau ka E. coli me mākou, akā i kēia manawa ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe ʻepekema ma kahi o 30% o nā maʻi ʻāpana mimi i hoʻokumu ʻia e ia ʻaʻole hiki ke mālama ʻia. ʻOiai au e hana ana i ka noiʻi no kaʻu puke e hiki mai ana, ʻo The Probiotic Miracle, ua ʻike au he ʻelima wale nō pākēneka i kū i ka ʻumi makahiki i hala. Ua ʻike nā kānaka ʻepekema ua hoʻomohala ʻo E. coli i ka hiki ke hana i kahi mea i kapa ʻia ʻo beta-lactamase, kahi e hoʻopau ai i nā lāʻau antibiotic. ʻIke ʻia kekahi ʻano hana i kapa ʻia ʻo "extended-spectrum beta-lactamase" i loko o nā maʻi bacteria ʻē aʻe, hoʻemi kēia hana i ka pono o nā lāʻau antibiotic.
Aia mau ʻo Bacillus subtilis (hay bacillus) i ka lewa, ka wai a me ka lepo. Kakaʻikahi ka maʻi bacteria i ke kino o ke kanaka, akā hiki ke hoʻoulu i ka hopena maʻi inā loaʻa ke kino i ka nui o nā hua bacteria. Hoʻopuka ia i ka subtilisin toxin, i hoʻohana ʻia i nā mea holoi lole. Ua like loa kona hale me E. coli, no laila hoʻohana pinepine ʻia i ka noiʻi ʻana.
ʻAʻole maikaʻi loa ka Staphylococcus aureus (Staphylococcus aureus). Inā ʻoe e heluhelu ana i ka nūhou e pili ana i nā mea ʻoi loa i ka lāʻau lapaʻau i loko o ka haukapila, aia paha ʻoe e heluhelu nei e pili ana iā MSRA, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Wahi a ka Health Agency of Canada, ʻo kēia bacteria ke kumu nui o ka make ʻana i ka meaʻai. Hiki ke loaʻa mai ka maʻi maʻi ma o ka nahu holoholona a me ka launa pū ʻana me kekahi kanaka ʻē aʻe, ʻoiai inā loaʻa iā lākou nā maʻi staph. Hoʻonui ʻia ka nui o ka MSRA ma nā wahi lehulehu e like me nā halemai a me nā hale hānai, a hiki ke hōʻailona ʻia nā hōʻailona mai ka nausea pōkole a me ka luaʻi a hiki i ka haʻalulu a me ka make.
Ua hoʻoholo ka poʻe ʻepekema Kina, aia ka dandelion, kēia mauu i hoʻowahāwahā ʻia, he mea hiki ke hoʻohana maikaʻi ʻia i mea mālama meaʻai, e hōʻemi ana i ka hopena o ka maʻi e kēia mau bacteria. Pono e noiʻi hou aʻe e ʻike i nā hoʻohana antibacterial hou no kēia pua liʻiliʻi ikaika.
