Mrsa/epidemic Or Pandemic? Posted: 10-16-07 17:02pm


I am a MRSA immue compromised from getting the infection in my incsion after my appendectomy back in 2004. I have been suffering since to the point of 10 min close to death when I aquired double pneumonia last Dec and my MRSA surfaced and I was on the vent for 10 out of 16 days in bed in CCU. Here is some new satistics out finally being recognized! This was a health segment just tonight on my local new station BayNews 9 Tampa Fla. I went to thier web site so I could copy and paste the article. You will be astounded at the least. MRSA is on the rise and getting out of control. I personally want to see it STOPPED! Article: Deadly infection More than 90,000 Americans get potentially deadly infections each year from a drug-resistant staph "superbug." That's according to the government's first overall estimate of invasive disease caused by the germ. Most drug-resistant staph cases are mild skin infections. But the study focused on invasive infections that enter the bloodstream or destroy flesh and can turn deadly. More about MRSA: Watch the story CDC The study classified 58.4% of the cases as healthcare associated, meaning people got the infections after a procedure such as dialysis or surgery. It reports 26.6% got infected while in a hospital, and 13.7% got infected in the community. Researchers call this a major public health problem. Experts say the infection sometimes first appears on the skin as a red, swollen pimple or boil that may be painful or have pus. It can be spread by close skin-to skin contact or by touching surfaces contaminated with the germ. Prevention tips from CDC: Good hand hygiene Keep hands clean by washing thoroughly with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand cleaner Keep cuts and scrapes clean and covered with a bandage until healed Avoid contact with other people's wounds or bandages Avoid sharing personal items such as towels or razors

In that case, you know more then I do. Why when I called CDC and my own Ifectious Desease doc says there is no cure. There is not cure. Just remission. You are talking to someone who has had MRSA for 5 years now. Resarch? Been there done that. No cure! Yet anyway. Lord knows I wish there were a cure. Dang Surperbug, Resistant to anything that touches it. Vancomycin is one of the only drugs that will put it in remission so far. Wherever you got that information, please forward it to me through PM. Sounds like a scam to me. Carrie

MRSA Posted: 05-05-08 09:30am


A new product was introduced this past December that is the best one yet for MRSA, Staph, C,Diff, etc. It is called Bacrobial. It works at full strength even after 3 hours. By comparison, alcohol hand sanitizers work for just a few seconds or until they dry. Bacrobial is now being used by some of the nations top athletes in the worst of conditions with excellent results. It is a total body cleanser meaning its not just for your hands but can be used everywhere. It does no tsting or burn as it is pH balanced. This should be used by everyone daily to keep the skin free of dangerous superbugs.
