Don't know if any of you have heard of this but I just ran across it. Good news but the hospitals probably won't use a natural food product till the pharmaceutical gurues come up with some chemically altered drug.

Fruit to Root Out Mrsa

Scottish Daily Record

08-29-06

BLACKCURRANTS have boosted their healthy food status after research showed they can combat the deadly hospital superbug MRSA.

The fruit is already recognised for helping to prevent Alzheimer's disease and fight against heart disease and cancer.

Scientists discovered that special compounds found in blackcurrants can stop MRSA growth.

Other bacteria such as salmonella and listeria can also be stopped in their tracks.

The research was carried out by scientists from the Scottish Crop Research Institute, in Dundee, led by Derek Stewart.

He said: "It is clear that the natural compounds found in blackcurrants show a diverse range of anti-microbial activities."

and heres a place to order current juice or if you live near you can pick up fresh frozen currents.

Thank you for that site! Looks like they don't sell "real" currants in stores in Oregon, but I can order the juice from here. My sister-in-law has very bad Alzheimers and watched her sister die of it a few years ago, so I'm always looking for a solution. These berries are suggested for prevention but it may help prevent further damage. She lives in Maryland, near Washington D.C., so the products should be readily available there.

If currants also help listeria they can stop irradiating our food!!

A school in VA has closed for cleaning after a student dies from MRSA. Looks as though it's now a community problem as well as a hospital problem.

Articles like threse are very deceptive and to not reveal the full truth about the epidemic that is upon us.
Although hand washing is very important there is more going on to the spread than this. Our hospitals are filthy and no one is doing anything about it. No matter how much you wash your hands you cannot keep them clean. Surgical suites are the worst. 30 percent of ALL people in Marin County, California are colonized for MRSA! The CDC mandated back in the mid '70's that testing hospital surfaces was not necessary. Yet recent studies in leading hospitals have found that MRSA rates can be cut significantly when housekeeping staff are retrained in cleaning procedures and use appropriate products. Also, requiring a nasal swab for all people upon admit to hospital to test for MRSA colonization and then subsequent nasal treatment with bactroban also lowers hospital acquired MRSA infections.

Yep MRSA is the new plague that few people are talking about. CA-MRSA
(community acquired) or HA-MRSA (hospital acquired) are the two classifications. I have been looking into this intensively over the past 6 months or so and I did an inservice on it at my work last month. I have collected up alternative treatments and will post them. Which treatment to choose will by determined by how bad you have it. If amputation is threatened then a trip to Lubbock texas is merited to the wound care center.
Since I have an ozone machine that is what I would use. The most cost effective treatment is garlic.

Although not listed below I have read stories on how MRSA was cured by taking 3 to 4 raw garlic cloves every 3 to 4 hours for one month. Can't get any cheaper than that. For the less brave there are some advanced allicin products.

Things You Can Do to assist your body with Supplements

First and foremost: Take lots of probiotics before, during and after all antibiotic therapy. For every week of antibiotic therapy do 3 weeks of probiotics after in high dosage, then continue with a maintenance dose. This may help prevent candida infection and will help to maintain a healthy immune system and will help prevent leaky gut syndrome.

Aloe Vera in freeze dried preparation will help to heal the gut and reverse some of the damage antibiotics cause. I like the aloe product found at
www.GoodCauseWellness.com

Take Vitamin C up to bowel tolerance See this site for applications:
https://www.vitamincfoundation.org/

Take and immune booster like Transfer Factor (do a search for product) or Beta � 1.3/1.6-D-Glucan from NOW products

Take a comprehensive B vitamin Supplement that delivers at least 100mg of each of the B complex. Folic acid should be 1 to 2mg a day. Many antibiotic therapies deplete B vitamins.

Take a sublingual preparation of B12. Take 5,000 mcg a day. Get your doctor to give you B12 injections weekly or biweekly also. You can't get too much of this if you are doing antibiotic therapy.

Drink fresh Vegetable juice daily

Take a Greens Supplement like found here: https://www.nokomisnutrition.com/p-38...FRcXIwodSkSIHg

And found cheaper here: https://www.amazon.com/Delicious-Gree...2631080&sr=8-3

And even cheaper when purchasing large container:
https://www.amazon.com/Delicious-Gree...2631080&sr=8-1

Disinfect your house with an Air Ozonator. Learn about medical ozone. Drink ozone water.

Use a strong germmaicide on doorknobs, faucet handles. Carry a sanitizer with you.

Grapefruit Seed Extract GSE from Nutribiotics is a strong nontoxic to people germacide for cleaning surfaces. You can make your own spray bottle.

A very few supplements may interfere with a few antibiotic therapies. Ask your doctor first.

A good online place to shop for supplements is at www.iherb.com
And www.vitacost.com Don�t shop in health food stores. You will pay too much!

Best,
Arrow

Arrow, what is your opinion--would MMS be effective against MRSA?

Mari

I would just like to add that black currants aren't the only fruit with these magical powers. ALL DARK FRUIT have these magical phytonutrients, including tomatoes. Concentrated fruit powders would be awesome in addition to fruit, because most of the "power" is in the skin of the fruit, not so much in the fleshy part, and the powder eliminates the water.

I have absolutely no doubt that MMS would kill MRSA of any variety.

When I read Mad's report of taking MMS after a cold/flu thing started, it made me think of the way we start out with one drop, and work our way up till we find out own individual effective dose. I wondered if, had Mad known his effective dose, had he taken that at the beginning of the infection, it would have had a different outcome for him? So could there be a similar mechanism for MRSA - that we need to persist with the indiviual's effective dose for longer than a few days?

Edited to correct names. Apologies to Mad Scientest and Skepzilla.

For all you night owls. The topic for tonight�s (10-13-07) Coast to Coast AM (radio talk show) is MRSA.

Yeah, I heard it!

I thought that 'black currents' were just dark raisins!
Am I wrong?

Earlybird - in some time past, I remember you referred to drunken raisins in connection with knee pain. What is that about?
Sorry Arrow - it's probably not to do with MRSA!

https://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_vi...ml?id=3486452n

Here is an interesting news report.

The part I disagree with is that MRSA does spread not just by human to human contact but from surfaces also.
That they are talking about being unsure of how it spreads is disconcerting.

Interesting video on MRSA... all the more reason to keep a couple bottles of MMS in the medicine cabinet.
They don't seem to know very much about it, and what really scares me is that they want to come out with some MRSA Vaccine.
I wonder if they used ozone through the school ventilation system one or two days per week would help..
