(Discussions of MRSA staph can be
uncomfortable! Please be aware that:)
We have natural solutions for MRSA!
MRSA staph is not one of the experiences a person expects out of life – especially when it includes family! It brings physical and emotional concerns with it. In its more serious forms, it can become very serious and even deadly.
We are pleased to say that our research and experimentation has produced natural products that can deal effectively with all aspects of MRSA staph infections. There is more information at the bottom but we wanted to first include some information from the State of New York:
What is MRSA?
MRSA refers to a type of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) that is resistant to many antibiotics. It is a common cause of hospital-acquired infections. Anyone can get MRSA, but it is found most often in hospitalized patients.
What are the symptoms associated with MRSA infection?
MRSA staph infections can cause a broad range of symptoms depending on the part of the body that is infected. These may include surgical wounds, burns, catheter sites, eye, skin and blood. Infection often results in redness, swelling and tenderness at the site of infection. Sometimes, people may carry MRSA without having any symptoms. The staph bacteria are generally spread through direct contact with the hands of a health care worker or patient who is infected or carrying the organism. Some people can carry MRSA for days to many months, even after their infection has been treated.
How are MRSA infections diagnosed?
MRSA infections can be diagnosed when a doctor obtains a sample or specimen from the site of infection and submits it to a laboratory. The laboratory places the specimen on a special "culture" plate containing nutrients, incubates the plate in a warmer and then identifies the bacteria. The final step is for the laboratory to conduct tests using various antibiotics to determine if the bacteria are resistant (able to withstand or tolerate) or sensitive (susceptible to killing) to select antibiotics.
What is the treatment for MRSA?
Although MRSA cannot be effectively treated with antibiotics such as methicillin, nafcillin, cephalosporin or penicillin, it can usually be treated with an antibiotic called vancomycin. Recently, however, a few strains of Staphylococcus aureus have even developed some degree of resistance to vancomycin. The vancomycin-resistant strains may be more difficult to treat. Newer antibiotics are being developed to address this problem.
How can the spread of MRSA be controlled?
Careful hand washing is the single most effective way to control spread of MRSA. Health care workers should wash their hands after contact with each patient. If the patient is known to have an MRSA infection, the health care worker should wear disposable gloves. Depending on the type of contact, a gown should also be worn. Patients must also wash their hands to avoid spreading the bacteria to others.
Nature’s Antibiotics!
As you can see, having a MRSA staph infection is not a death sentence – though many cases can get that serious! However, nature has also provided antibiotic help in the form of essential oils, good nutritional supplements and a special coconut oil derivative. This gives some special importance to being aware of these nutrients. Because nature has to fight the same bacteria humans do, it has developed some excellent defenses that mutate along with the bacteria! (It doesn’t go out of style.) In the MRSA articles on this website, we discuss how these natural products can help you fight MRSA (and all bacterial infections). We have designed a complete natural treatment system that involves:
These things are certainly worth a closer look in our website at: The 5-StepMRSA Treatment Plan.
