I got a really unexpected honor last week: according to Sharecare, I’m the top online influencer for children’s health.
I truly didn’t see it coming. I didn’t go into the online space to be an influencer. I’ve been writing about health and parenting for more than twenty years; when publishing moved into the online space, I just moved along with it.

The main reason? Because that’s where the patients are. According to Pew Internet, eight ou...

Conclusion
This study has found that vitamin B3 can increase the killing activity of a certain type of white blood cell (neutrophils), leading to the prevention and treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infection. It appears to have this effect by enhancing the activity of a particular protein that is essential for white cell development. Vitamin B3 was demonstrated to be effective in human blood samples that were infected with Staphylococcus aureus, and in the prevention and treatment of infection in a live mouse model. The treatment was also effective against a particular strain of MRSA that was tested.
