But do they really have an effect? It turns out that certain clays can kill dangerous bacteria. ASU researchers are studying this clay and trying to figure out what makes it so special. <i>--by Margaret Coulombe</i></p><div class="image-clear"></div><p><a href="http://researchstories.asu.edu/stories/healing-clay-906">read more</a></p> http://researchstories.asu.edu/stories/healing-clay-906#comments Medicine Center for Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology Chemistry and Biochemistry Lynda Williams Margaret Coulombe Research Magazine Shelley Haydel Spring/summer 2007 Health and Medical Microbiology Life Sciences Geology Thu, 14 Jun 2007 17:18:32 -0600 pkrecker 906 at http://researchstories.asu.edu http://researchstories.asu.edu/stories/claythe-next-topical-penicillin-943 <p>Clay has been associated with home cures since Roman times. But there have been very few scientific studies to investigate such claims--until now. Researchers at ASU have found that French green clay can kill pathogenic bacteria. <i>--by Margaret Coulombe</i></p><p><a href="http://researchstories.asu.edu/stories/claythe-next-topical-penicillin-943">read more</a></p> http://researchstories.asu.edu/stories/claythe-next-topical-penicillin-943#comments Medicine Biodesign Institute Margaret Coulombe Research Magazine Shelley Haydel Tempe campus Winter 2006 Health and Medical Geology Physical Sciences and Mathematics Tue, 27 Mar 2007 14:25:08 -0600 pkrecker 943 at http://researchstories.asu.edu
