Treating Staph Superbug MRSA

So, you finally noticed already! A study by Canadian researchers found a link between taking antibiotics and a greater chance of contracting deadly "superbugs" like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Guess these researchers have not been paying much attention to what the alternative community has been saying for the last 10 years.

This data was published in the journal of Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine. Their conclusions are that children who take at least one antibiotic have a 3 times greater risk of developing a MRSA like infection than children who take NO antibiotics. And it gets even worse as children who have gotten 4 or more antibiotics are 18 TIMES more like to develop a MRSA condition!

While the conclusions of greater risk is not much of a revelation to us here, the fact that the risk is that much higher is new. That is a frightening statistic and really points up how damaging taking an antibiotic can be for people and especially children.

Previously most superbug infections were found in hospitals or health care facilities from contaminated surfaces and surgical supplies – and it was not always that they may have had poor infection control practices.

But today, according to the study, CAMRSA ( community acquired MRSA) is becoming the major health problem and a danger to all as this comes from the communities we live in. This CAMRSA was likely a lot more common than anyone knew simply because no one was looking for MRSA like infections in the general community. In fact, it has only been in the last few years that the health community has even begun tracking MRSA like infections in the health care industry at all.

I came across an article the other day that was talking about a supposed "improvement" in the TSA body scanner software.

With the large uproar over the detailed images that are produced by the scanner, the TSA had to do something to respond to the public. But, and make no mistake about this, despite what the TSA claims, the scanned images have been shown to be able to be converted into full images of YOU or anyone else that has been scanned and they are saved on the scanning units. Of course, the TSA says that no one will be doing this. Well, if they are not going to do this, they why is the capability there in the first place? Care to answer TSA?

If you have a possible "problem", then I could see why that particular image would need to be recorded for future use, but every image and no one knows what happens to them or what database they may be put into. How is this protecting the public TSA – to have a naked image of regular Americans and even small children in some government database for who knows who to be looking at? You do not seem to be able to give any answer to this other than "we will not be doing that" and we should certainly believe what you say.

So the TSA has been testing some new software for about six months that will supposedly show only a silhouette of the scanned person on a screen about the size of the average laptop.

So, it has taken you how long to develop software to make a "generic" image. Just what software engineers do you hire? This is so simple a high-school computer science student could figure it out and just now after all this mess you finally get it. Nope, there is a lot more going on behind this that we are not being told, otherwise this would have been done in the first place. In fact, it was a lot harder to produce the actual image than a simple one in the software, not the other way around. I’m not a software engineer, so if I am off in left field, please let me know. But in my experience, more detailed anything requires a lot more work to develop than a simple something. Think about your own software you use, it did not come out of the box with all the bells and whistles already done. They came along as it was worked on year after year and improved – they did not go backwards to something more simple like the TSA is now claiming the new software does.

With this new software, someone who has nothing unknown is cleared and a suspicious item is outlined in red on the screen. Then they will be subjected to and will receive a through pat-down as will anyone who refuses to go through the scan at all.

Now I really had a laugh at this statement by Mr. Pistoe, the TSA administrator. He said the software upgrade enables us (the TSA) to continue to provide a high level of security through the imaging screening and improve the passenger experience at checkpoints.

REALLY Mr Pistoe – continue to provide security – hmmmm, can you give us even one instance of you having stopped a potential threat – anywhere?

So far, every single instance that has been reported as a problem has been shown to be a staged problem done by the TSA themselves!

My Dog won’t stop itching he has a rash all over – is a question we received from a reader. They were asking for some help with their pet’s problem or any suggestions that we might have that could help. This got me to thinking that perhaps others might have the same problem and so I decided to write an article about "My Dog won’t stop itching he has a rash all over".

Your dog’s rash is much like one we might get in that you don’t know why it got there. It can appear suddenly for no apparent reason. It can be cured easily when the right treatments are used.

Figuring out the cause is the most difficult part as there can be a number of reasons that the itching and rash has appeared.

• Your dog may have developed an allergic condition to the different allergens around us such as molds, pollen, house dust mites and even dandruff

• Your dog may have developed sensitivity to the environmental chemicals present all around us today. Cleaners, disinfectants, soaps, even shampoos and much more could be the cause.

• Your dog may have developed a food allergy to the dog food you feed them or maybe you have changed their feed.

• Your dog may have become infested with ticks, lice or even worms. Don’t take these lightly as they can become more than just an irritation to your pet. If left untreated, there is real potential to cause your pet permanent damage and even death.

• Your dog may have a nutritional deficiency of a needed vitamin or mineral which is causing the problem.

• Your dog may have an immune system problem where their immune system is weaker than it should be. This can open the door to all manner of infections from bacterial to viral and to attacks by insects or worms.

There has been an uptick in crop failures and spontaneous animal miscarriages that seems to be linked to a deadly new plant disease as reported by Emeritus Professor Don Huber from Purdue University in Indiana.

He further states that this new disease is likely the result of genetically-modified (GM) crops and the pesticides and herbicides used to grow them.

This has severe and dangerous implications for all of us who live in the world. Both ourselves and our food animals are consuming more and more of these GM frankenfoods despite the best efforts of many organizations to stop the GMO proliferation.

What is happening in the plant world and the food animal world is going to be happening in the human world also and the consequences are not good for all of us. We will be opening the door to more and more superbugs and the lessening of our body’s ability to fend them off.

Perhaps some of you remember the DDT controversy and how the pesticide industry disavowed any problems and is was safe to use. Later reports and independent study proved that the DDT was anything but benign as was claimed and finally was banned in the U.S. But it is not gone from the environment as it is even today used in other countries in huge quantities and some of the produce makes its way to our food shelves.

So much for stopping a proven dangerous pesticide. Perhaps congress should have made their law a bit more concrete and forced these companies to stop the manufacture completely of this dangerous toxic chemical. That would have been the most responsible thing to do.

Superbugs of all types are showing up more and more in our world mostly due to the overuse of antibiotics by the medical community.

A brand new strain of superbug has been found that is resistant to EVERY ANTIBIOTIC. This is scary as most nasties can still be affected by at least some antibiotics. To make matters worse, this new superbug is a form of gonorrhea – one of the most common and most highly contagious of all diseases.

This sad fact is that even our health care facilities have become breeding grounds for new types of drug resistant germs. It has been reported that even newborn babies are acquiring these new superbug infections at an alarming rate in the neonatal units of hospitals. This is simply tragic – a newborn just brought into our world is subjected to a potentially fatal disease as soon as they arrive. Yet, because of our medical practices and because few new antibiotic drugs are being developed – this horrible fact was almost a certainty.

This new and very dangerous strain of Gonorrhea was announced at the International Society for Sexually Transmitted Disease Research that was held in Quebec.

Three primary researchers, Dr. Unemo, Dr. Makoto, and Dr. Ohnishi along with other of their collagues, identified a variant of the bacteria that causes gonorrhea. Named Neissera gonorrhoeae – it has never been documented before. The researchers analysied this new strain – called H041 – and found genetic mutations that have allowed this strain to have what they called "extreme resistance" to all cephalosporin-class antibiotics. The only drugs that have remained effective in being able to effectively treat gonorrhea.

Yes the "private army" that Obama said he intended to develop is well on its way to becoming the most invasive, pervasive, and rights destroying government agency in the history of our country.

What is it? The TSA of course. Their apparent mission is to manage to grope and molest every single person in this country on a daily basis. They have every intention of placing agents at and with any form of transportation and eventually at all public places.

They are already at all airports, some train stations, and have conducted searches and invasive pat-downs at bus stations. Not to mention at a local high school prom. As if someone would put something under the dresses of the high-school girls.

Only someone who is a psychotic or delusional would even conceive of such a completely ridiculous thing. Is the TSA going to be doing this to 5th graders at their dances next?

But the TSA is not stopping there as they want to add to their invasive, illegal, and just plain stupid actions by including all other forms of transportation including freight trucks and eventually your own private vehicle with more planned.

A report in Mother Jones says that the TSA has now requested 12 more units to add to its glowing fleet of "Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) teams. These teams are nothing more than random check points that can be set up anywhere and are slated to use full vehicle scanners.

These full vehicle scanners will scan you and your vehicle while you sit under them. The dangers in doing this can not be overstated. The TSA of course claims that there is no problem, but if these scanners are powerful enough to see items in your car – the exposure you are receiving is likely greater than a chest x-ray.

As is the case with most diabolical things, this one sounds so plausible and maybe even reasonable. An idea wrapped in supposed good intentions and of course fairness – an internet "ministry of truth" to be run either by the U.S. Federal Government or the (wait for it) United Nations.

And just what would this agency do – well protect all of us against "misinformation and rumors" that somehow find their way to our wonderful information superhighway – the internet.

I guess that would include the forcing of a company – say a healthy juice company – to take down their "misinformation" concerning the factual and known health benefits of the juice because the FDA has decided that any such statements make the juice a "drug" and all of a sudden you are selling an "unapproved drug" and not a health drink juice.

Would that not be just the sort of thing that we need to be protected against – the terrible fact that this juice was actually good for you and could help you with this list of things and has been used for many of those very things for decades or even centuries! We must be protected from such information by the nanny state government – we can not be ever told the truth – we "can’t handle the truth" especially when it goes against what our nanny government wants.

This has so many terrible consequences for all of American that it is staggering. What we take for granted today – to be able to have health and supplement choices may actually not be available to us if this concept is put into place and any such agency actually is formed.

Another important aspect of this agency is that it "would have to be an independent federal agency that no president could countermand or anything else because people wouldn’t think you were just censoring the news and giving a different falsehood out."

And just WHO is it that is spouting these easy sounding phrases – none other than former President Bill Clinton! The very same man who lied to the American public about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Now we should certainly place our trust in what he says – of course.

Hmm, if a similar agency had been there during his tenure in office as president, would he have been convicted during his impeachment trial in the Senate – one has to wonder. But one also has to shutter at what such an agency would actually mean.

Finally the FDA has admitted what they have tried very hard to ignore for many years – Chicken Meat sold in the USA contains arsenic. Arsenic is a cancer-causing toxic chemical that is fatal if you get a high enough dose.

But the REAL STORY is actually how the arsenic gets into the chickens in the first place. The FDA’s own research shows that the arsenic is added to the chicken feed ON PURPOSE and it ends up in the meat of the chicken and guess where it goes then.

It is eaten by US and we are consuming the arsenic right along with all the other great things including the antibiotics, growth hormones, and whatever.

For the last 60 YEARS, the American consumer who eats regular store chicken has been eating the arsenic too without any idea that it was in there at all.

Until this new study, the entire poultry industry and of course the FDA completely denied that the arsenic in the chicken feed ended up in the meat of the chicken. Their claim was that "the arsenic is excreted in the chicken feces" and so never got into the meat and then into us. The only problem with their claim is that there is no scientific basis supporting what they said – they made the claim anyway and expected everybody to believe them – and guess what – we did!

Reports are coming in that milk is showing elevated levels of radiation, in some cases as much as 400 to 2400 times the recognized safe levels.

This is a worry to all of us as it shows what is happening in our environment and especially in agriculture – we all have to eat and our food supply is being contaminated with ever increasing levels of radiation.

And OUR GOVERNMENT IS SAYING VIRTUALLY NOTHING ABOUT IT. Their "response" to the public has been to simply raise the accepted safe levels of radiation by hundred’s or even thousand’s of times!

Since our government, both state and federal, has completely ignored their responsibility to the public, we now must take matters into our own hands and do what we can to help minimize this on-going issue.

The increase in levels of milk is a mirror to the overall condition of our entire food chain because the cows consume grass and the grass is exposed to the same conditions as our food crops. So with milk testing with high levels of radiation, it is showing us that our entire food chain is under the same stress.

This is something we are all going to be living with for an unknown time to come. The radiation from the Fukushima Nuclear Reactors is just getting worse and still little is being done about it. With the governments of the world lying to their populations and telling them everything is fine, we have no hope that anything substantive will be done by the authorities. The people of Japan are the most in danger, but there is no where in the world that will not be effected by this tragic event.

Oh my aching sides – this circus just keeps getting better and better. It would be the joke of the decade if it were not so serious and people were dying from this and the fallout to the farmers of the EU was not driving them out of business because no one is buying their vegetables.

The story from the German authorities seems to be one of musical chairs or throw down the cards with a possible source and just pick one.

First the Spaniards were blamed as the source of this outbreak, then it was cucumbers, but no now it’s lettuce, but wait it’s tomatoes, oh but nope it’s actually organic sprouts. Uhh, no it’s not them either.

Are you KIDDING ME! This is ridiculous and is doing nothing but scaring the public with a bunch of useless fear-mongering and misinformation.

But then I have to put some of the blame on the public that they actually are paying any attention to this farce. If people had any sense, they would simply wash their veggies – well – and their hands and go from there. Not too hard really.
