Mike: Including the superbugs, mrsa? Moeller: Yeah, this here, if you read it right here, this is a U.S. EPA-approved label. It'll show you that we are effective against gram negative, gram positive, even nosocomial or superbug pathogens. Okay, you look right on there it'll tell you that you can use it for stapharius. Stapharius is the base for mrsa. mrsa is just Methicillin Resistant Stapharius. And to the next question, yes, I have independent data on mrsa. I also have data, hard data, on a lot of viruses.

Treatment switched to a specialized relative of penicillin called methicillin, which was introduced in 1959—and two years later, the first incident of methicillin-resistant staph, known as mrsa, was reported. mrsa is now firmly entrenched in hospitals, and treatment has moved to a different class of antibiotics, usually with one called vancomycin. The first case of VRSA—yes, vancomycin-resistant staph—was reported in 1996 in Japan. All of this sounds frightening—as if we're in an arms race where the other side has vastly superior technology.

Stapharius is the base for mrsa. mrsa is just Methicillin Resistant Stapharius. And to the next question, yes, I have independent data on mrsa. I also have data, hard data, on a lot of viruses. I have hard data on yeast, I have antibiotic comparisons, I have five different safety studies in which we have proven that our product was not cytotoxic. Even in injection studies they were able to inject it at up to 5,000mg/kg of body weight in mice. Mike: That's a lot. Moeller: It's huge amounts. It's the equivalent of you drinking gallons. It was completely non-toxic to the test animals.

In 2005 doctors in Los Angeles reported that they had treated fourteen patients with mrsa who had developed necrotizing fasciitis. None of the patients died, but they had serious complications, including long stays in the intensive care unit. Some required reconstructive surgery because the bacteria had eaten away so much of their skin. MRSA doesn't just prey on those who have taken antibiotics. It can infect anyone. A study in 2005 estimated that two million Americans have MFISA living in their nostrils. Most of these people have no symptoms but can pass the infectious bacteria on to others.

For instance, new strains of the bacterium methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or mrsa (which is highly resistant to antibiotics) are becoming more common. What was previously a simple cut on the finger can now grow into something that could kill you in a few days. The number of mrsa cases is growing exponentially. Another particularly negative outcome of antibiotic overuse is the development of Clostridium difficile, which occurs when the normal bacteria of the colon are wiped out.

In some rare cases, mrsa has developed into necrotizing fasciitis, known to the public as flesh-eating bacteria. The bacteria release a toxin that rapidly destroys the skin and flesh. Left untreated, the person soon goes into shock and dies. In 2005 doctors in Los Angeles reported that they had treated fourteen patients with mrsa who had developed necrotizing fasciitis. None of the patients died, but they had serious complications, including long stays in the intensive care unit. Some required reconstructive surgery because the bacteria had eaten away so much of their skin.

A lack of hand washing continues to be the primary reason why mrsa and other superbugs are spread in hospitals today...) 1920's Don't breastfeed your babies! Use infant formula instead. It's more "high-tech." Cow's milk is obviously healthier for your babies than mother's milk, right? That's what the doc says... Result: Tens of millions of mothers stopped breastfeeding their babies, resulting in widespread nutritional deficiencies that impacted those children for life.

One of the strains of mrsa that has rapidly spread across America is especially virulent and deadly in children, as doctors found that Christmas season in 2003. This particular strain is capable of producing a toxin called Panton-Valentine leukocidin. At its worst the toxin can cause a serious form of pneumonia that can destroy the lungs of a child in twenty-four hours.

He said that one child had died not from the flu but from a mutant strain of staph known as mrsa that had grown resistant to many antibiotics. Another child, Dr. Grose said, had died from a bacterial strep infection so vicious that it had killed its victim even before doctors could start treatment. Other physicians found, he said, that a powerful antibiotic called Rocephin had failed to work in three young patients. The children had developed empyema, a condition in which the lungs become surrounded by cupfuls of fluid, after their infections spread.

Studies had shown that patients taking these broad-spectrum antibiotics were at a higher risk of later being infected by a lethal superbug like mrsa, shorthand for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. But all Iowans, even those who did not take antibiotics, were now living with these menacing germs that could withstand even some of the most powerful modern medicines. The bugs were growing stronger, while the drugs grew weaker. "We are facing a crisis," Dr.

The number of mrsa cases is growing exponentially. Another particularly negative outcome of antibiotic overuse is the development of Clostridium difficile, which occurs when the normal bacteria of the colon are wiped out. Clostridium difficile usually attacks hospital patients who have been on multiple antibiotics that have wiped out their normal colonic bacteria.

Clearance of Skin Two topical mrsa eradication regimes were compared: a standard treatment including mupirocin 2% nasal ointment, chlorhexidine gluconate 4% soap, silver sulfadiazine 1% cream versus a tea tree oil regimen, which included tea tree 10% cream, tea tree 5% body wash, both given for five days. Mupirocin was significantly more effective at clearing nasal carriage (78%) than tea tree cream (47%, p=0.0001), but tea tree treatment was more effective than chlorhexidine or silver sulfadiazine at clearing superficial skin sites and skin lesions (Dryden et al, 2004).

In 1999 doctors reported that four children from Minnesota and North Dakota had died from the virulent mutant bug mrsa. That wasn't the part of the news that had disturbed physicians. Thousands of Americans had been dying from that drug-resistant staph bacterium every year. But until the report on the deaths of the four children, scientists had believed that people could get the lethal strain only during a stay in the hospital. These four children had been healthy and had not been in the hospital until they suddenly fell violently ill.

Why the bird flu virus is less deadly but more dangerous Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

In modern, Western hospitals, you see mrsa (superbugs) that are resistant to every known antibiotic. They spread in hospitals, from one patient to the next and sometimes to the medical staff who have close contact with those patients. Viruses and infectious diseases really love the type of environment hospitals provide: a successful, concentrated battery of new hosts they can infect. The bird flu gets more dangerous, but less lethal Now, given all of this, let's go back to the very beginning and talk about the World Health Organization's announcement about the bird flu virus.

Antibacterial silver products finally begin to emerge after years of FDA oppression Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Ingested silver can also treat resistant strains of bacteria, including mrsa. If you have a tooth or ear infection, for example, silver can do the job for you. Now, there is a huge disclaimer with all of that: First of all, I'm not giving anybody medical information. This is just my experience with this product. If you're going to use this product or eliminate antibiotics, you should be working with a medical professional. The second thing is that if you use silver in this way, then you are using it allopathically, meaning that you are not really solving the core problem.

Known as mrsa (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) this germ could likely prove fatal in virtually any individual. Deaths from the germ have been reported in Japan, Canada, England, and the United States. It usually attacks hospitalized patients, particularly those undergoing surgery or taking multiple medications. In Canada, where supergerms such as Staph aureus are prolific as the result of the excessive use of antibiotics, massive epidemics are inevitable. Canadian experts predict that as many as 10,000 Canadians will be killed by this germ in the year 2000 alone.

Now there is a new strain of staph, which is even worse than mrsa. Known as VRSA, this staph is completely immune to antibiotics. The VRSA is even immune to Vancomycin, the most powerful staph killing drug known. According to physicians in the New York region infections by this mutant staph in area hospitals have already reached epidemic proportions. Only natural substances will stop such germs from mercilessly consuming human lives.

He would eventually die of this as most patients with mrsa do. The last patient was comatose following open-heart surgery.The doctors theorized that she too had staph in her blood. It was apparent to me that there was staph in many areas of the hospital. I rationalized when I saw that my heart surgeon had no patients with complicating staphylococcal disease. I told myself, this was not a result of infection from my doctor. He actually looked cleaner than the other doctors I had observed. When he came to visit me after surgery, my friends and family remarked how he almost "shone.
