"They found the remedy killed up to 90% of MRSA bacteria and believe it is the effect of the recipe rather than one single ingredient."

Believe? Don't you want to like, um, test that? You know, science.

This whole thing stinks of research grant bait.

One line up?

"In each case, they tested the individual ingredients against the bacteria, as well as the remedy and a control solution."

The article states that they did test individual ingredients vs the combination. So I'm going to assume they use the term "believe" as a layman replacement for "confident up to x sigmas".
