Common Antibiotic Increases Risk of Death by 250%! New England Journal of Medicine

Common antibiotic boosts death risk: study

A popular antibiotic used for treating bronchitis, pneumonia, ear infections and sexually transmitted diseases may boost the risk of death, a US study said Wednesday.

Azithromycin has been on the worldwide market since the 1980s, but the study in the New England Journal of Medicine is the first to document serious heart risks — up to a 2.5-fold higher chance of cardiovascular fatalities — in the first five days of treatment compared to another or no antibiotic.

The comparison was based on an examination of patient records in the southern US state of Tennessee from 1992 to 2006.

Researchers at Vanderbilt University compared about 348,000 prescriptions of azithromycin to millions of records from people who were not treated with any antibiotics or who received amoxicillin, a similar medication that is considered heart safe.

The analysis found there were 47 more deaths per million in those taking azithromycin compared to those on amoxicillin.

When researchers examined patients already at high risk for heart problems, the chance increased to 245 additional cardiovascular deaths per million in the azithromycin group compared to the amoxicillin takers.

While the relative number of fatalities was low, researchers said the findings offer new information about possible dangers that doctors and patients should consider.

“We believe this study adds important information on the risk profile for azithromycin,” said lead author Wayne Ray, professor of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University.

“For patients with elevated cardiovascular risk and infections for which there are alternative antibiotics, the cardiovascular effects of azithromycin may be an important clinical consideration.”

The Croatian pharmaceutical company Pliva first patented azithromycin in 1981, and later struck a worldwide deal with Pfizer to sell the antibiotic worldwide. Pfizer branded the treatment Zithromax and Zmax.

Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria.

Side effects may include

• skin rashes
• itching
• swelling
• difficulty breathing or swallowing
• rapid, pounding or irregular heartbeats, according to the American Hospital Formulary Service.

Oh Where Oh where Has the FDA Gone?

The Charter given to the FDA by Congress specifies that the FDA is supposed to protect the American people from harmful drugs.  So where the hell have they been since 1981 on this antibiotic? How many other antibiotics are silently killing us while the drug companies make their extreme fortunes?

What is the Formal Name Given to Antibiotics?

MYCO-TOXINS! They kill the good bacteria that make up 80% of your immune system at a time when you need your immune system the most; when you are sick! Now you can get a Candida overgrowth and have uncontrolled yeast traveling throughout your body.  Welcome to modern medicine!

Here is a Better Way; ZERO Toxicity!

Humans have used silver in some form for at least 4,000 years without any known deaths or any reports of harm being done (at least we can’t find any)

We believe that you are entitled to see real proof from FDA-certified independent labs that follow Good Lab Practices (GLP) and are recognized by the International Standards Organization (ISO).

These lab reports are just a few examples of how powerful NutraSilver® is when it comes to killing these tested pathogens in in-vitro lab tests. Tests from around the world demonstrate the amazing “germ-killing power” when you read these following laboratory tests results.

NutraSilver is Non-toxic

Toxicity is important to know before you begin to take any Dietary Supplement or medicine.  It is wonderfully assuring to know from these and many other tests that NutraSilver has ZERO toxicity and cannot harm you in any way.

Usually, when these types of tests are conducted, the mice are expected to diminish there activity, yet the opposite happened: they actually thrived on NutraSilver and even gained weight which is very unusual for toxicity testing. None of the mice was harmed in any way by NutraSilver.

Some practitioners claim that colloidal silver can build up and damage the liver and kidneys.  This is blatantly false as there is no known evidence to support this rumor.

Here are some important facts about NutraSilver:

•  Totally non-toxic
•  Promotes a strong immune system
•  Inexpensive and does not require a prescription

NutraSilver Effectiveness

NutraSilver® has undergone extensive testing by third-party independent laboratories, validating its effectiveness in killing a variety of life-threatening bacteria, viruses and fungal infections.

There is no doubt that more research is warranted and we invite those interested in discovering the entire truth about the effectiveness of NutraSilver® to identify themselves and work together to unravel the mysteries  of  and how NutraSilver can play a prominent role science.

Pharma mis-information aside, here are real facts about colloidal silver

Ingesting Colloidal Silver

Taken orally, the silver solution is absorbed from the mouth into the bloodstream, then transported quickly to the body cells. Swishing the solution under the tongue briefly before swallowing may result in faster absorption. Colloidal silver is eliminated by the kidneys, lymph system and bowel after several days. If routinely exposed to dangerous pathogenic germs, some recommend a regular daily intake as a protection. In cases of minor burns, an accumulation of colloidal silver may hasten healing, reducing the possibility of scar tissue and infection. It is believed by many in the natural healing arts that the lives of millions of people who are susceptible to chronic low-grade infections can be enhanced by this preventative health measure.

Chronic or Serious Conditions

If your body is extremely ill or toxic, do not be in a hurry to clear up everything at once. If pathogens are killed off too quickly, the body’s five eliminatory channels (liver, kidneys, skin, lungs and bowel) may be temporarily overloaded, causing flu-like conditions, headache, extreme fatigue, dizziness, nausea or aching muscles. Ease off on the colloidal silver to a smaller amount and increase your non-tap water intake. Regular bowel movements are a must in order to relieve the discomforts of detoxification. Resolve to reduce sugar and saturated fats from the diet, and exercise more. Given the opportunity, the body’s natural ability to heal may amaze you.

Topical Uses

Some have used colloidal silver in a nasal spray mister – to reach the sinuses and nasal passages. Spray bottles have been used for topical use on kitchen and bathroom surfaces, skin, sore throat, eyes, burns, etc. Colloidal silver is painless on cuts, abrasions, in open wounds, in the nostrils for a stuffy nose, and even in a baby’s eyes because, unlike some antiseptics, it does not destroy tissue cells. It’s excellent as an underarm deodorant, since most underarm odor is caused by bacteria breaking down substances released by the sweat glands!

Some Common Uses of Colloidal Silver

Natural health practitioners have for years recommended taking colloidal silver daily, for four days, to establish a level, then dose daily for maintenance (proportional to body weight for children). After six weeks, a pause of several weeks has also been recommended by some natural healing arts doctors. Also, colloidal silver can be applied directly to cuts, scrapes, and open sores, or on a bandage for warts. It can be applied on eczema, itches, acne or bug bites. To purify water, add one drop per liter, shake well and wait six minutes. Mixed this way, it’s tasteless. It is not an allopathic poison.

Veterinary and Garden Use

Colloidal silver has worked just as well on pets of all kinds. Used in proportion to body weight, it should bring the same results. In the garden, field or greenhouse, add enough to the water or soil – and the plants will do the rest.

Tolerance To Disease Organisms

We have all heard of the “super-germs” that are resistant to most modern antibiotics. Some believe that single-celled germs cannot mutate into silver-resistant forms, as happens with conventional antibiotics. Therefore no tolerance to colloidal silver would develop through mutation. Also, colloidal silver has not been demonstrated to interact or interfere with other medicines being taken. Inside the body, silver apparently does not form toxic compounds or react with anything other than a germ’s oxygen-metabolizing enzyme. Colloidal silver may truly be a safe, natural remedy for many of mankind’s ills. Additionally, there has never been a drug interaction reported between colloidal silver and any other medication. It’s difficult to overdose – unless large amounts are ingested. Colloidal silver has been reported by
users to be both a remedy and a prevention for numerous infections, colds, flus, and fermentations due to various bacteria, viruses or fungi, even the non-apparent low-grade, general body infections many people have. Living organisms are in the colloidal chemical state, not the crystalline state. Substances already in that form may be more readily assimilated by the body.

Colloidal silver is the most useable form of a reputedly effective germ
fighter

• There is far too much MIS-information about Colloidal Silver
• Silver is a NOBEL METAL LIKE GOLD
• Humans, arguably have been using silver for over 4,000 years.
• Try to find even one documented death from ingesting real colloidal silver. Good luck.

According to Larry C. Ford, M.D., at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, UCLA School of Medicine, 1988:

“There is no known disease-causing organism that can live in the presence of even minute traces of the chemical element of simple metallic silver,” 

“Colloidal silver appears to be safe for children and pregnant and nursing women. It is tasteless, odorless, contains no free radicals, is harmless to human enzymes and has no adverse reactions with medications.”

Kurt Grange, Ph.D., N.D., is a nutritional bio-physiologist and author:

“Colloidal silver has proven to be toxic to all tested species of fungi, bacteria, protozoa, parasites and many viruses. More importantly—unlike conventional antibiotics—infectious agents, cannot build a resistance to silver.”

“Taken internally, it may improve digestion, help prevent colds, flu and all organism-caused diseases. It can be used as a douche, atomized, nebulized or inhaled. Applied externally, it has been shown to help with things such as skin abrasions and burns (including sun burn). It can also be dropped into the eyes and ears to help the body overcome infection.”

My Accidental Discovery Provides Relief For Your Morgellons Disease

 I have an amazing story to share with everyone. I accidentally found the only known effective treatment for Morgellons disease, an emerging pandemic that is global and man-made.

The victims suffer tremendously and relentlessly.

That day, I was at a friend’s home repairing her computer. since I had not seen her in a long time, I had to ask her what all those lesions were that covered her neck, arms and legs. She told me she did not know what is was and she had been to many doctors including a dermatologist. None of the doctors were able to diagnose her; they merely gave her broad-band antibiotics and sent her home.

She told me that she had many other symptoms; “brain fog” whereby her ability to think and reason had diminished, chronic fatigue; she slept 12 to 18 hours a day and was still tired.

Her entire body “ached” like she had the flu but didn’t.

Here hair and teeth seems to be under attack from some unknown pathogen.

And most importantly, she had given up all hope. Her family, friends and everyone who knew her believed the doctors when the told her she had “Delusions of Parasitosis” (DOP). You see, she complained about animals or critters coming out of her skin and biting her relentlessly 24/7 under her skin.

Being covered with horrible lesions, feeling depressed and having everyone tell her she was crazy resulted in her becoming suicidal. She told me she would kill herself in a day or two. Somehow, I made the connection to the product in my car, NutraSilver and I asked her if I could apply some to her lesions just to see what might happen. Her lesions were all red with infection and very swollen. We applied the NutraSilver to her left hand an soon forgot about it.

Two hours latter, we looked at her had with astonishment! Her redness and swelling were completely gone! Amazed, we agreed to watch the progress of the healing closely.

The next day, she told me that the lesions on her left hand had begun to heal, for the first time in years, normally. Within a week, the lesions were nearly gone, completely healed. It was then that we noticed that new lesions had forced on her lower arm, so we treated them. The same thing happened; they healed, but caused new lesions to form on her upper arm. Multi-colored fibers began to emerge; blue, white and black. Speckles began to for on her face under her eyes. Her hair began to fall out.

We began to realize that we were doing it wrong; we needed to give her the NutraSilver orally and stop treating her lesions topically because obviously we were doing nothing more that spreading them around.

What might the proper dose of NutraSilver be?

We started at 20 drops, twice a day. Within hours, all of her lesions began to heal properly! We increased the dosage to 30 drops 3 times a day, then 40, 50 and 60 drops. She had no ill effects from taking NutraSilver and within the first week her depression and “brain fog” began to diminish. She soon forgot about suicide and began to plan how she would re-enter society.

By the end of the 3rd week, all of her lesions were completely healed leaving white spots where the lesions had been. Apparently, the lesions had destroyed the pigmentation under them. She carries these white marks today.

She said that she had not been able to breath through her nose for many months so we decided to try NutraSilver in her sinuses; I had her lye back on the bed with her head over the edge and put 5 drops in each nostril and had her stay there for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, she ran to the bathroom and blew her nose for about 5 minutes. She would not tell me what came out other than to say “You don’t want to know”.

Immediately she experienced relief and could breathe normally once again.

We decided to look up her symptoms on the Internet and quickly found the word Morgellons.” We read everything we could find and concluded that Morgellons is the disease she had. Our reading was also very discouraging since MD’s and Dermatologist agreed that Morgellons did not exist and that anyone who suffered from Morgellons was delusional having scratched themselves to the point of creating lesions. They also stated that the fibers were nothing ore than household debris embedded by the patient.

I have known this woman for 30 years and I can attest to the fact that she is not delusional, nor did she scratch the lesions on herself. Our reading told us that the fibers would begin to burn at 1700 degrees F and were coated with some kind of polyurethane.

Well, about 7 weeks after beginning to take NutraSilver, she decided to do a ‘purge’ by increasing her dose to 150 drops 3 times a day for 3 days. She did this on her own without telling anyone what she was doing.

 

At the end of the second day, around midnight, I get a call from her and she is in a panic. I raced over to her house, ran up the stairs and found her in the bathtub with her clothes on, in the dark screaming hysterically. When I turned on the light, I saw the most horrific thing I have ever seen; hundreds of critters were exiting her face from her eyes, nose, around her lips, from her ears and from under her fingernails. She was in tremendous pain, confused and frightened. I did everything I could to calm her down. ‘Foreign Matter’ continued to exit in her stools and urine for several weeks.

Hours later, I went home, exhausted. She continued to purge critters for 2 days, on and off and then they abruptly ceased their exit. It was then that she began to really heal well. After 10 weeks of 30 drops, 3 times a day, she declared herself “symptom-free” and remains that way to this very day. She tells me that if she forgets to take the NutraSilver over the course of several days, she feels as though the symptoms are returning, so she quickly returns to the proper dose for her.

Today, she lives a normal life; she works, plays with her grand kids, socializes and basically went back to having a life. She was one of the fortunate people who managed to avoid suicide. She still becomes depress about life in general, but she never feels hopeless as she did before we gave her the NutraSilver. She has returned to he previous life only with a great deal of gratitude for having her life back again.

Now you have to understand that I am retired. I am also 100% disabled

I felt a responsibility to humanity. I knew that people were suffering all over the world and that I had somehow stumbled into an effective treatment for Morgellons. You must understand that I have zero background in anything medical; I had a wonderful career as a Telecommunications Consultant in Asia and Europe. I had no desire or intention of getting involved in another career. At the same time I felt a strong responsibility to mankind to help these unfortunate victims of this devastating, unrecognized disease. So I decide to get on the Internet and find some Morgellons victims to conduct anecdotal research to see if NutraSilver was in fact a valuable treatment for Morgellons.

I knew nothing about forums of net-etiquette, but decided to join several forums to invite Morgellons patients to try NutraSilver for free. Wow, what an experience! Think about it; here I was trying to give NutraSilver away for free and immediately got labeled a “snake-oil salesman” Most forums immediately ‘banned’ me from posting, but I managed to find about 10 Morgellons victims who wanted to try NutraSilver.

I set up a protocol to follow; each person in the trial would take 30 drops 3 times a day for 3 days and then increase to 40 drops 3 times a day. In exchange for free NutraSilver, the participants agrees to journal for 5 minutes a day, just to let me know what, if anything happened taking the NutraSilver.

Within 3 weeks or so, every participant was healed to one degree or another, depending upon the quality of their immune system and how deeply they were infected. The conclusion was unanimous; NutraSilver is very effective in reducing or eliminating most if not all of the Morgellons symptoms.

Remember, I am retired and the very last thing in the world I wanted to do was get into the retail business of any kind with any product. I have been in consulting and marketing most of my life and had absolutely no desire to enter the retail business. So I hired a web developer, bought 2,000 bottles of NutraSilver from my friend, created a legal label for the bottles and began my new career in retail internet sales.

I had to make some financial decisions regarding how available NutraSilver would be to the average Morgellons patient, so I decided to price it low enough so that the average person could afford it and price would not become the barrier for people to heal from Morgellons. I decide that $3.50 a day was fairly reasonable. Remember, I have no experience in medical or retail or internet commerce, so I had a steep learning curve to climb. I had to learn how to ship, process order both on the web site and on the phone. I had to learn about payment gateways, credit card processing, taxes, bookkeeping and much more. I now work full time trying to get the word out about NutraSilver.

I quickly learned that there were two kinds of Morgellons victims:

• Those that took NutraSilver correctly and healed
• Those who would not take NutraSilver at all yet complained publicly on forums that it was ‘snake-oil’ and that I was a bad person trying to take advantage of hopeless Morgellons victims. These people continue to suffer needlessly.

I can not begin to tell you how many Morgellons victims call or email daily expressing their gratitude for healing from Morgellons and getting their lives back. I heard from people all over the world; old people, children, parents, and finally MD’s who were treating Morgellons patients without any success. I soon became a “gratitude junkie” completely enjoying the fruits of my labors. It is not the money which I do not need, but rather knowing that I was contributing to the elimination of needless and relentless suffering of Morgellons victims.

I do not mind sharing that I was also devastated by the personal attacks from people on the forums

I am afraid to admit that I took it personally and had many days where I cried because people thought that way about me but mostly I felt like I had failed to help more people than I did. I finally found some balance between those who criticized me without any knowledge or experience and those who took NutraSilver and healed and got their live back to normal. Perhaps I just care too much. I have been a volunteer all of my life knowing that real happiness is in the giving and the serving of others, not in obtaining wealth or prestige. I was a Boy Scout Troop Master for 5 years with severely handicapped children. I have worked as a volunteer as a search and rescue pilot with the Civil Air Patrol for 5 years. I have worked in State Mental Hospitals with the patients providing stability and loving care. I have a long history of giving and I am very proud f it.

I spend hours every day consoling and encouraging Morgellons victims from around the world. There is a family in Australia; a husband and wife with 10 children and all of them are covered with these lesions. NutraSilver healed all of them. There is a baby born with Morgellons covered with lesions right out of the womb and cried non-stop. This baby is healed and developing normally now and the cry is normal for an infant.

I average about 2 suicide preventions a week now even though I am unqualified and untrained in this area. I simply encourage Morgellons victims to take NutraSilver and if after 2 weeks they still do not see improvement, then they can kill themselves. Every one of these people who took NutraSilver has healed and not one have committed suicide to my knowledge.

Why Suffer With Soar Throats and Sinus Infections When You don’t Have To?

Sore throat, reduced antibiotic use and sinus remedy

James_R       April, 2010
“I have no tonsils due to my parents having them removed when I was a child and being a first line of defense I usually catch a few colds per year and most give me a bad bacterial infection and sore throat and I go to the doctor and get antibiotics for the throat but since being introduced to silver products, I rarely have to go the doctors anymore and too much antibiotics is not a good thing.”

“I have tried quite a few of the silver products out there and NutraSilver® seems to be the most powerful I have tried, I can gargle with it and feel it working! Normally my colds seem to take 7-12 days to overcome and with NutraSilver® sometimes it’s over in usually 6-8 days and the severity is not as bad.”

“I have also used it on skin sores and they heel quickly, and use it in a 4:1 ratio in a spray bottle for the nose as I often have sneezing attacks and it will clean out the sinuses quickly and stop sneezing. I do not want to be without NutraSilver® and I do tell people about this product and that the makers offer a money back guarantee if not satisfied…So what do you really have to lose”?

Morgellons Suicide; Don’t Do it!!!

Morgellons Sufferers; Suicide is a Permanent Solution
to a Temporary Problem

I know it does not seem there is any way out of this relentless, monstrous disease.  You have tried everything and nothing worked.  You went to the doctor.  You went to the dermatologist. Nothing worked. All any of them would tell you is that Morgellons is Delusions of Parasitosis (DOP) so now you have been branded a “nut case” on your permanent medical record.

No Real Solutions on the Internet

You went on the Internet and read about lotions, potions, so-called miracle cures and the like.  You paid out the nose for these products and nothing provided you with any real relief. Your family and friends think you are crazy because the doctor told them that you are.  The doctors prescribed psychotropic drugs.  Some of you actually took them and you did not experience any relief.  Some of you were smart enough to know that you are not nuts and you refused to take the drugs. yet you still suffer with the relentless biting, scratching, lesions, loss of energy and “brain fog”.

About Half of You Got Lesions Too

The lesions are the worst for women, especially if they are on your face or neck.  You simply will not go out in public. You are afraid that you will spread this disease to others so you “cocoon” in your homes, never venturing out in public.  You become isolated and lonely.  Fear of this never-ending infection keeps you paralyzed from going anywhere or doing anything. It feels like your life is over, but is it?

So Now What?  What is Left to Do?

Feeling completely hopeless, you consider suicide. You really do no want to die, you just want this nightmare and pain and suffering to be over. Then you think about what impact suicide might have on your family and loved ones. You feel trapped, isolated and without hope.  So now what?

MRSA: Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones Naturally

The world-famous Mayo Clinic says;

“Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is caused by a strain of staph bacteria that’s become resistant to the antibiotics commonly used to treat ordinary staph infections.

“Most MRSA infections occur in people who have been in hospitals or other health care settings, such as nursing homes and dialysis centers. When it occurs in these settings, it’s known as health care-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA). HA-MRSA infections typically are associated with invasive procedures or devices, such as surgeries, intravenous tubing or artificial joints.”

“Another type of MRSA infection has occurred in the wider community — among healthy people. This form, community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA), often begins as a painful skin boil. It’s spread by skin-to-skin contact. At-risk populations include groups such as high school wrestlers, child care workers and people who live in crowded conditions.”

The CDC in Atlanta states:

“According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1 percent of the population carries the type of staph bacteria known as MRSA”

Antibiotic Resistance

“MRSA is the result of decades of often unnecessary antibiotic use. For years, antibiotics have been prescribed for colds, flu and other viral infections that don’t respond to these drugs. Even when antibiotics are used appropriately, they contribute to the rise of drug-resistant bacteria because they don’t destroy every germ they target. Bacteria live on an evolutionary fast track, so germs that survive treatment with one antibiotic soon learn to resist others.”

How is MRSA infection transmitted or spread?

MRSA infections can be contagious from person to person; occasionally direct contact with a MRSA-infected person is not necessary because the bacteria can also be spread by people who touch materials or surfaces contaminated with MRSA organisms. There are two major ways people become infected with MRSA. The first is physical contact with someone who is either infected or is a carrier (people who are not infected but are colonized with the bacteria on their body) of MRSA. The second way is for people to physically contact MRSA on any objects such as door handles, floors, sinks, or towels that have been touched by a MRSA-infected person or carrier. Normal skin tissue in people usually does not allow MRSA infection to develop; however, if there are cuts, abrasions, or other skin flaws such as psoriasis (a chronic inflammatory skin disease with dry patches, redness, and scaly skin), MRSA may proliferate. Many otherwise healthy individuals, especially children and young adults, do not notice small skin imperfections or scrapes and may be lax in taking precautions about skin contacts. This is the likely reason MRSA outbreaks occur in diverse types of people such as school team players (like football players or wrestlers), dormitory residents, and armed-services personnel in constant close contact.

How is MRSA diagnosed?

Most doctors start with a complete history and physical exam of the patient to identify any skin changes that may be due to MRSA, especially if the patient or caretaker mentions a close association with a person who has been diagnosed with MRSA. A skin sample, sample of pus from a wound, or blood, urine, or biopsy material (tissue sample) is sent to a microbiology lab and cultured for S. aureus. If S. aureus is isolated (grown on a Petri plate), the bacteria are then exposed to different antibiotics, including methicillin. S. aureus bacteria that grow well when methicillin is in the culture are termed MRSA, and the patient is diagnosed as MRSA infected. The same procedure is done to determine if someone is a MRSA carrier (screening for a carrier), but sample skin or mucous membrane sites are only swabbed, not biopsied. These tests help distinguish MRSA infections from other skin changes that often appear initially similar to MRSA, such as spider bites and skin changes that occur with Lyme disease. These tests are very important; misidentification of a MRSA infection may cause the patient to be treated with other agents like dapsone (used for spider bites). This can result in progression of the MRSA infection and even other complications due to the dapsone.

How can people prevent MRSA infection?

Not making direct contact with skin, clothing, and any items that come in contact with either MRSA patients or

Washing hands frequently is important to prevent MRSA infections

MRSA carriers is the best way to avoid MRSA infection. In many instances, this situation is simply not practical because such infected individuals or carriers are not immediately identifiable. What people can do is to treat and cover (for example, antiseptic cream and a Band-Aid) any skin breaks or wounds and use excellent hygiene practices (for example, hand washing with soap after personal contact or toilet use, washing clothes that potentially came in contact with MRSA patients or carriers, and using disposable items when treating MRSA patients). Also available at most stores are antiseptic solutions and wipes to both clean hands and surfaces that may contact MRSA. These measures help control the spread of MRSA.

MRSA Infections Today

It is estimated that 75% of patient rooms are contaminated with MRSA and VRE. Studies show that if a healthcare worker walks into a patient’s room and has no physical contact with the patient, her gloves will still be contaminated 42% of the time, just from touching surfaces in the room.   In 2005, there were 368,600 hospital stays for MRSA infection.  This was triple the number of MRSA infections in 2000 and 10 times the number from 1995.  Around 60% of all “Staph” infections in hospitals are now MRSA infections.  Overall, MRSA is estimated to make up about 8% of all hospital acquired infections.

What Can You Do to Protect Yourself and your Family?

Recent FDA-certified independent in-vitro lab test show a new approach using a natural mineral the killed 1.3 billion MRSA cells in 60 seconds at the rate of 99.9999%! The scientist who conducted this test were simply amazed at the results.  How could a natural mineral with no drugs and no chemicals have such an astounding effect on this most virulent infection?  the answer is actually quite simple; this mineral, silver, switches off MRSA’s ability to use oxygen.  MRSA then suffocates and dies very quickly.  It is thought that because the silver is in the nano-range (one billionth the diameter of a human hair), there is no place it can’t go in the human body.

Nearly half a dozen cyto-toxicity tests demonstrate that there is zero toxicity in NutraSilver.

Toxicity is important to know before you begin to take any Dietary Supplement or medicine.  It is wonderfully assuring to know from these and many other tests that NutraSilver® has ZERO toxicity and unless seriously abused, cannot harm you in any way.

Usually, when these types of tests are conducted, the mice are expected to diminish there activity, yet the opposite happened: they actually thrived on NutraSilver and even gained weight which is very unusual for toxicity testing. None of the mice was harmed in any way by NutraSilver®.

FDA Offers Guidance for MRSA Tests; No Relief in Sight

The US Food and Drug Administration has issued a new draft guidance and recommendations for how nucleic acid-based in vitro diagnostic tests for Staphylococcus aureus (SA) should perform and be tested for their analytical and clinical validity.

The guidance specifically provides FDA recommendations on studies used for Class II premarket submission, and it includes examples of strains recommended for analytical sensitivity and inclusivity studies, as well as microorganism types that are recommended for analytical specificity studies.

FDA stressed in the document that at the current time the guidance does not mean firms must follow its recommendations, rather it reflects “the agency’s current thinking” and “should be viewed only as recommendations” that are suggested, but not required.

The current standard test for detecting MRSA uses traditional cultures, but swifter nucleic acid-based IVD tests for MRSA and SA “represent an important tool for infection control programs to aid in the prevention and control of MRSA infection in healthcare settings,” according to the FDA document.

These genomic tests also are useful for aiding in patient management, in making diagnoses from skin and soft tissue infections, and detecting MRSA/SA from certain blood culture bottles, the guidance states.

However, FDA has identified some potential issues with the safety or effectiveness of nucleic acid-based assays. The test could fail to function, which could result in inaccurate results or the incorrect interpretation of results. Failures could lead to false positive MRSA results, for example, which could cause patients to be treated unnecessarily, or to a false negative, which could leave MRSA patients going untreated.

These failures also could lead to inappropriate infection control responses and could potentially delay preventative and safety measures.

“Therefore, establishing the performance of these devices and understanding the risks that might be associated with the use of these devices is critical to their safe and effective use,” FDA said in the document.

The guidance includes recommendations covering the development of targets for the tests’ intended uses, for their testing methodologies and platforms, specimen types, hardware and software requirements, necessary reagents, and other traits of the tests.

The guidelines also provide recommendations covering risk assessment techniques and methods, the use of positive, negative, and other controls, and methods for interpreting and reporting test results.

FDA also offers guidance on studies that test developers should use to determine analytical sensitivity, reactivity, and specificity, and provides recommendations about substances that could interfere with the tests.

Among the companies currently offering nucleic acid-based tests for MRSA and SA are Cepheid, Becton Dickinson, and Roche.

In July 2010, Cepheid voluntarily engaged in a recall of its Xpert MRSA/SA blood culture product, which runs on its GeneXpert PCR platform, due to false negative reports of MRSA.

The company said at the time that it would change the labeling on its test because a novel MRSA strain was causing false negative reports, and that it had notified FDA of one adverse event.

If you have MRSA, there is a better way to eliminate your symptoms.  It is a natural mineral that kills pathogens by stopping the pathogens’ ability to use oxygen, so it suffocates and dies quickly. It is non-toxic and works safely and efficiently.

MRSA: Why Most Treatment Approaches Eventually Fail

I thought it could never happen to me. After all, I was a Microbiologist and studied bacteria like Staph aureus everyday. I knew what made bacteria grow and what antibiotics stopped them.

I was shocked in 1997 when I started to struggle with recurring infections.

I dutifully followed my doctor’s advice and tried all kinds of antibiotics, none of which stopped my recurring infections. I was aghast that the standard treatment methods that I learned in school and put so much trust in simply weren’t working for me. I was trapped in the cycle of infection, then antibiotics, then re-infection. I was frustrated and literally sick from all of the antibiotics side effects. I could barely keep anything in my stomach. And for the next few years my health, energy and quality of life kept deteriorating.

 Weeding Out Fact from Fiction

At the low point, I finally realized that antibiotics weren’t going to help me.

And, if I wanted to stop my infection for good, I was going to have to find a solution on my own. Being a research scientist, I immediately began searching for a solution. I spent months looking online, talking to my colleagues, scouring medical journals, learning from natural and integrative health doctors and testing natural health programs to find out what would work to stop my infections.

What I found was a lot of confusing, contradictory and sometimes bogus information along with bits and pieces of helpful knowledge. Fortunately, my background in Microbiology, science and research helped me weed out fact from fiction.

What I learned is not taught by most medical doctors, but it has stopped my recurring infection cycle. And, it makes perfect scientific sense.

The truth is, simply addressing your infection, no matter what MRSA treatment method you use, will not stop the recurring infection cycle.

This revelation has changed my life and thousands of others forever. And, I’ve now been infection free without using antibiotics for over 7 years.

Why MRSA Treatment Programs Fail

No matter what MRSA treatment approach you use or how effective your MRSA treatment may be, stopping your current infection has little bearing on stopping recurring infections.

This is true for both antibiotic treatments as well as home remedies available online. Stopping your current infection and stopping the cycle are two very different things. By only focusing on treating your current MRSA infection, you set yourself up for future failure in ways that are not commonly known.

Surprisingly, I found that many common MRSA treatment approaches actually promote recurring infections. It’s no wonder that ending recurring infections is the biggest problem people have with Staph and MRSA infections.

Here are the three steps I discovered to stop recurring infections for good:

Step 1 – Eliminate Your Current Infection

I’m a firm proponent of only using antibiotics if absolutely necessary. Most people are unaware of the very potent, natural medicinal products available that have effectively handled MRSA and Staph infections for many years. However, it takes some expertise and research to find out what those truly are and to avoid products that don’t work.

It is also important to be aware that there are different needs for different types of MRSA infections. Additionally, two people with the same infection may require two different MRSA treatment approaches to stop their infection most effectively.

Virtually all mainstream and home remedy MRSA treatment programs only address eliminating your current infection without regard to the following two steps. This is why such treatments fail at stopping recurring MRSA infections. While Step 1 is certainly critical, it must be complemented with Step 2 and 3 for long-term success.

Step 2 – Heal Damage from Bacteria and Antibiotics

If you’ve ever used antibiotics, or are currently using them, you may have already realized that antibiotics wreak havoc on your digestive system and your immune system. The bacteria responsible for Staph and MRSA also damage your body in both seen and unseen ways.

Most people are surprised to find out that up to 80% of a healthy immune system is about having the right types of gut bacteria. These friendly bacteria fend off infection, support vitamin and nutrient absorption and even help defend your skin against attack. Infection and antibiotics can severely damage this critical life supporting system. Unless you rebuild the damage done from antibiotics, your body will be vulnerable to future MRSA attacks.

Another important part of any successful MRSA treatment is to repair the damage done to your body by invasive bacteria. This damage includes long-lasting and embarrassing scars, bacterial toxins in your lymph and other tissues and stealth L-form bacteria which can contribute to re-infection.

Step 3 – Address the Root Cause of Re-infections

Human immune system

Step 3 is usually forgotten by mainstream medicine and home remedy approaches, yet I’ve found it to be mandatory from both personal experience and from my research on what’s helped other MRSA survivors. Most people’s immune systems are not functioning optimally, and having a depressed immune system leaves the door wide open for recurring infections and chronic illnesses. Yet most people sabotage their own immune system and don’t even realize it.

Antibiotics are certainly one cause of depressed immunity, but they aren’t the only cause. Nutrition, diet, pH, stress and many other factors have major implications on how well your immune system functions. As an example, one medical journal study shows that drinking two colas impairs your immune system by 92% for 5 hours! This is certainly not what you need if you’re battling MRSA or Staph.

Morgellons; True Stories of Becoming Symptom-free [part 5]

Morgellons – Airway Cleared in Two Days!

Mr. Phillip J.

“I have this dreaded disease called Morgellons; I could feel these glass like fibers in my

collumbola springtails

throat and in my nose/sinuses. 

My throat began bleeding as well as my nose. I did my research on the net.

To see if there were any cures / treatment. I discovered NutraSilver. I ordered some right away, by the time my order arrived my air way and sinuses were already beginning to close up with these fibers.

I was coughing and caging, it was terrible. I was beginning to panic. So when my order arrived I couldn’t open it fast enough. I put the drops in some bottled water I purchased gargled and drank it down. I felt the fibers loosen in my throat almost right away. I had also introduced NutraSilver in my nose and sinuses. One treatment started to clear my nasal passages. At first I started to swallow those loosened fibers way back in my throat but stopped swallowing and quickly began coughing them up and spitting them out instead. I kept this routine up until after a few days my throat and nasal passages cleared up. The only thing left was my lungs; for I kept coughing fibers up out of my lungs. It seems the NutraSilver was helping my immune system because I began feeling better as well. The crawling underneath my skin had all

but stopped. I didn’t have the open soars with fibers growing out, my problem is mostly internal. I had some red welts / blotches on my left arm, it is the only thing I have left at this time, but clearing my lungs and throat was a life saver. To be able to breathe clean fresh air again and feeling so much better is heaven sent. It’s my personal believe that if I can stop any re-infection that perhaps NutraSilver can keep this disease so well under control it would be like not having the disease at all. 

Thank You NutraSilver!”

MRSA News; New Approach Offers Promise

Scientists have discovered a new way to attack dangerous pathogens, marking a hopeful next step in the ever-escalating battle between man and microbe.

Actual MRSA cells

MRSA infections are among the most virulent infections known. The superbug causes nearly 500,000 hospitalizations and 19,000 deaths in the United States each year – more deaths than caused by AIDS. The bug can be acquired in the community or in hospitals.

In a paper published online Feb. 10 in the journal PLoS Pathogens, scientists demonstrate that by stopping bacteria’s ability to degrade RNA – a “housekeeping” process crucial to their ability to thrive – scientists were able to stop methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA both in the laboratory and in infected mice.

The team, headed by a microbiologist at the University of Rochester Medical Center, is now developing closely related compounds designed to be much more potent than the one discussed in the paper.

The new approach shows promise against the most severe strains of MRSA as well as the toughest type of MRSA infection for antibiotics to infiltrate – bacteria enmeshed in biofilms.

“This offers a whole new way to go on the offensive against some of the world’s most dangerous bugs,” said the leader of the group, Paul Dunman, Ph.D., associate professor of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Rochester Medical Center and formerly of the University of Nebraska. “We’re hoping our research opens the door to an entirely new class of antibiotics.”

The team also includes scientists from the University of Nebraska, the University of Arkansas, Vanderbilt University, and the University of North Texas Health Science Center.

MRSA and other dangerous microbes are so deadly largely because of their ability to adapt quickly to changing conditions. Bacteria’s knack for adaptation hinges on their ability to constantly churn out new molecules of RNA, which carry crucial messages that tell a cell what proteins to make and in what quantities.

The new research focuses on a critical cellular step that is part of the process, known as RNA degradation. Once an RNA molecule is no longer needed, the molecule is sliced and diced up, and its components are returned to the pool of available raw material that the cell taps again and again to construct other RNA molecules as needed.

“In bacteria, RNA degradation is crucial. The cells are replicating very quickly and responding to environmental changes very rapidly. In less than three minutes, a new RNA transcript is made, the protein is made, and then the RNA is degraded, and that material is made available to make other RNA molecules,” Dunman said.
