Some 90,000 Americans suffer potentially deadly infections each year from a drug-resistant "staph superbug." According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more people now die from these superbugs than from AIDS diseases. Recent nationwide outbreaks of infections caused by superbugs killed teenagers in U.S. schools, reflecting the natural consequence of indiscriminate and irresponsible use of antibiotics in this country. Previously only found in hospital settings, the drug-resistant staph germ is now spreading through prisons, gyms and locker rooms, and poor urban neighborhoods.

Result: Billions of doses of useless antibiotics helped breed a new generation of superbug viruses that have now escaped the hospitals and are infecting the public at large. Antibiotics are useless to stop them, and doctors still have not figured out that you can kill superbugs with colloidal silver or garlic.

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 superbug had moved into homes, locker rooms, gyms, day care centers, or just about anywhere bacteria grow. As the drug-resistant pathogen spread, it attacked both the weak and the strong. Football players and wrestlers were among its first victims. In 2001 Iowa health officials reported that high school wrestlers in the state had been infected by an outbreak of MRS A. The drug-resistant staph lives on the skin, which puts wrestlers at higher risk because of their close contact with competitors and the frequent scrapes they suffer. Similar MRS A infections hit five players for the St.

One antibiotic-resistant superbug often emerges and multiplies. One hundred thousand people die in hospitals every year from bacterial infections that are largely related to drug-resistant bacteria that have evolved from careless use of high-powered antibiotics to treat non-life-threatening infections or their misuse. Many scientists and infectious-disease specialists predict that we may get to the point where we can't find any new medications that will treat these new forms of bacteria.

It is estimated that 18,650 people die annually from this particular superbug, which is about 1,500 more than die from AIDS in the U.S. each year. It is a law of nature that every living organism wants to live and survive for as long as it possibly can. Bacteria that are exposed to regular supplies of the poisonous antibiotic substances will, therefore, try to become immune to the poisons. To survive such assaults, bacteria have their own sophisticated defense strategies, which are in a way similar to ours when we need to defend ourselves against invasive bacteria or viruses.

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. 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.

Amid a rising tide of increasingly ruthless "superbug" outbreaks, in a world where our health professionals themselves admit that disease appears to be outrunning the effectiveness of our standard medicines, fear is running high. If you're like me, you want to know what you can do to protect yourself—right now—not only against increasingly hardy "bugs" and an unknown future of potential plagues, but also against the degeneration, aging, and daily irritations that undermine the quality of so many people's lives.

In January 1996, a Georgetown University School of Medicine study showed that kids taking a broad-spectrum antibiotic to prevent ear infection had a 100 percent chance of succumbing to a "superbug"—a fivefold increase in risk.13 When antibiotic treatment fails, many doctors turn not to natural remedies but to a more invasive treatment: inserting ear tubes to drain the ear or equalize pressure. General anesthesia, which burdens the liver, is required during insertion of ear tubes. According to Dr. Michael A.
