The Era of Resistant Bacteria: How to survive

Once infections beacme easy to treat there was less emphasis on avoiding them (and we are talking about wahsing hands here, not something complicated).

It's not quite as easy as just blaming NHS staff (and contracted cleaners). It's also got a lot to do with the fact that now one can go to visit in-patients nearly all day long. "In the olden" (not always golden) days there were very restricted visiting times (1 or 2 hours per day), which made cleaning after 'the general public' was around much easier and therefore also kept all the various illnesses they brought along at bay.

And I'll never for the life of me understand why here in the UK they STILL build hospitals with rooms/wards for more than 4 people. It really beggars believe!
I was absolutely horrified when I moved here 11 years ago to find open wards for 15 people and more! I had never seen anything like it.
It just doesn't matter how clean the wards may be - things like C dif just spread like wildfire to all patients in such wards. Patients don't wash their hands every 5 minutes, nor do they tend to use a mask when sneezing or coughing.

Dear Andrew,

So Sorry that you have lost friends and loved ones and I know that it was probably very difficult to see your dad so neglected. I would have been furious!

I have a difficult time keeping my sanity (whats left) regarding this era that
we are now in. I still have brief moments of sanity through putting my efforts towards research and helping others.
It was amazing that we found stable Allicin when we did and I look at my family and realize how we all could have lost all of our lives.

This should be shouted from the housetops, but since it is not a drug there isn't the big bucks in it.
It is beyond understanding why this article is stuck in this small link and not on worldwide TV news stations:

250 people recover from MRSA using stable Allicin:
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/woman/health/article1279834.ece [nofollow]

There will be many loss of lives and limbs because of mankind's greed.
I hope to continue to shout it as loud as possible. It is about survival for all of us and the generations to come.

God bless, Cathy

Dear Bored Chemist,

I hope you are wrong (nothing personal).
Your comment:
"There's one more thing to remember- MRSA may not be resistant to allicin, but it will be. "

When you get a chance would you please give me your opinion after listening to this:
Radio Interview with Dr. Ronald Cutler regarding Allicin and MRSA:

Thank you, Cathy

That's roughly an hour long podcast; does it say anything that contradicts this?

Alicin is present in garlic. Garlic is susceptible to bacterial degradation (it goes off if it's left lying around). The microorganisms responsible for the degradation of garlic must be resistant to ailicin.
There are mechanisms for transfering resistance from one organism to another. Sooner or later these will transfer alicin resistance to mrsa if there's any evolutionary pressure to do so.

Dear BC,

That is the beauty of stable allicin. It is different than the unstable allicin in crushed garlic.

I have spoken with Dr. Ronald Cutler,PHD (who lead the developing team that stablized allicin), Peter Josling (biochemist) and
Norman Bennett (biochemist) regarding MRSA becoming resistant to stable allicin.
Their answer was that in 9 years of research there has been no resistance developed.
I found the radio broadcast very informative and thought you might have some input.
Thank you, Cathy

I read a lot of personal testimonials about Colloidal Silver curing MRSA, but I've never had MRSA myself, so I can't say for sure one way or the other.

I can say, though, that Colloidal Silver (10ppm) has worked on everything I've tried it on, including a persistant sinus infection, blepharitis ("rheumy eyes"), chronic bronchitis, colds, skin tags, back zits, athlete's foot, and an absessed tooth that had produced a lump the size of the tip of my little finger (that one took a while to heal).

It's safe in sane doses, you have to go nuts with the stuff (take 1000x the normal doses) to get argyria, that's mainly a scare-tactic that the FDA has concocted to support the status quo.

What does it mean that when garlic lays around it goes off>
I've had garlic laying around for ages. It just dries up into  a hard rock.

Hello everyone,

It has been a while since the last time I gave an update.
Our whole family has been clear of MRSA since 2006 and we are very happy to be alive since we had such a bad attack.

Here is more information that will help with research:
allimedresearch.blogspot(dotcom)/p/allimed-research.html

I hope you all are doing well.

God bless you all,
PHDee

Hi again,

A man posted some comments to my recent post but for some reason I couldn't respond.

This was his comment and my response:

Hello EXXX,

I am sorry to hear that you and your girlfriend has MRSA.
It is good that you haven't had it long because it will be easier to get rid of.

We haven't had MRSA symptoms return for about 10 1/2 yrs.
I also had Lyme twice and Morgellons.
Morgellons was the worst of all the infections I had.

Thankfully, by God's Grace I recovered naturally from all.

Here are some site that will help with research:

<SPAMMY LINKS REMOVED>

I hope this helps you two and if possible it is best to not use antibiotics.

We saw good results in about two weeks.

Take care,
PHDee

It is best to not use antibiotics.

It is always best not to use antibiotics unless it is absolutely necessary, but for MRSA carriage sometimes there is no option.
