Using Nature’s Secrets to Look Great and Feel Terrific, Stay young, slim, strong, and energetic – Naturally
VCStar.com 4/20/2012: One of the biggest public health issues we face today is the presence of potentially life threatening “superbug” bacterial infections that do not respond to common antibiotics. One of the most common is MRSA (sometimes pronounced mur-sah) or Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. According to the Centers for Disease Control about one out of a hundred people carry MRSA. 20,000 die each year from MRSA infections that can’t be treated by usual antibiotics. What is not commonly known is that MRSA can be passed on to a dog or cat. These animals now become carriers and can retransmit infections to humans, especially kids, pregnant mothers, the elderly and adults with a weakened immune system from diseases like asthma and diabetes.
A recent study by the University of Iowa’s School of Public Health that discovered a dangerous prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria lurking in pork on grocery store shelves could lead to an even more dangerous conclusion. The study found that the incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria in 36 grocery stores in three states (Iowa, Minnesota, and New Jersey) was considerably higher than what had previously been assumed. Of the 395 samples collected and tested in the study, 26 of them, or 7 percent contained MRSA. That’s about one out of every 15 samples.. . . So if you eat piggy, cook him well and wash your hands when handling all raw meats and poultry. No one ever got MRSA from eating tofu.

The Guardian March 2, 2012: When Diane Wake began a new role at Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University hospitals NHS trust in 2007 she faced a major challenge. The 800-bed trust was a “national outlier” in terms of its healthcare associated infection rates and, as the trust’s new executive director of nursing and operations and director of infection prevention and control, Wake was tasked with tackling this. “We had large amounts of MRSA, an excessive rate of clostridium difficile, which I felt was totally and utterly unacceptable,” she says. “You don’t expect a patient who comes into the hospital to leave with something they didn’t have when they arrived. For me that really set us off on a journey of what do we need to do differently in this organisation.” Here is what they did to cut MRSA infections by 80%.
This is MRSA a type of bacteria that is resistant to antibiotic methicillin and other treatments of the penicillin class. MRSA is a big problem in and out of hospitals as the bacteria can be spread from patient to patient from colonised areas (in the nose, urine, skin, clothing, coughing, sneezing) to open wounds. MRSA can be a serious sometimes fatal infection. MRSA-related deaths are more common among elderly or those with weak immune systems. MRSA is difficult to treat due to the bacteria’s resistance to antibiotics. The general public has no idea. I got MRSA in Florida by an elegant swimming pool from a bug bite that infected. This is what I learned on my vacation.
Fooey! Flu virus is tough enough because of sore throat and fever, but now scientists are saying there may be a connection between brain inflammation resulting from a virus and the onset of Alzheimer’s. For the moment that disease is up for grabs. Some researchers point to proteins others to an acid that disrupts brain communication, destroys synapses to cause Alzheimer’s. No one knows for sure. The usual pedestrian advice about avoiding Alzheimer’s does not help much – learn new skills like card games or learn a language because that engages a different part of the brain.
Sounds like Sci-Fi nanotechnology being used to destroy a super bug that threatens to kill more people than AIDs. But this high tech method of search and destroy may stop antibiotic-resistant staph infections. MRSA is now out of the hospitals on the streets spread by sneezing and coughing. It may start as a skin infection but can go inside the blood to threaten life with pneumonia and heart failure. Here is a recent article on nanotechnology experiments to destroy MRSA.
MRSA is an abbreviation for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, meaning it is a staph infection resistant to antibiotics. MRSA is a bacterial infection of the skin and is very difficult to treat. Some antibiotics are being developed that may be effective in treating MRSA, although not all are responding to treatment. In the beginning stages, MRSA appears as small red bumps, and later it turns into deep, infected boils. It becomes very painful and often the sufferer has a fever. The bacteria eats away at the flesh and it can sometimes attack vital organs. It progresses rapidly, usually within a day or two. MRSA spreads through skin-to-skin contact, but it can also be airborne through coughing and sneezing. It’s also spread by touching contaminated objects, bad hygiene, open wounds, and crowded living situations, especially when items are shared. While washing hands may not work 100 percent, it is still a step in the right direction. One thing scientists have been able to find out is that alcohol is effective at cleaning surfaces. Hand washes that are alcohol based are also ideal as opposed to traditional hand soap. The antibiotics now used to try to kill MRSA are very rough on the body – liver damage. Here is some advice for natural prevention and treatment that may help you avoid MRSA or can be added to conventional treatment with drugs.
