MRSA Killing More People in the U.S. than AIDS
October 17th, 2007Via: Washington Post:
A dangerous germ that has been spreading around the country causes more life-threatening infections than public health authorities had thought and is killing more people in the United States each year than the AIDS virus, federal health officials reported yesterday.
The microbe, a strain of a once innocuous staph bacterium that has become invulnerable to first-line antibiotics, is responsible for more than 94,000 serious infections and nearly 19,000 deaths each year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calculated.
Although mounting evidence shows that the infection is becoming more common, the estimate published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association is the first national assessment of the toll from the insidious pathogen, officials said.
“This is a significant public health problem. We should be very worried,” said Scott K. Fridkin, a medical epidemiologist at the CDC.
Other researchers noted that the estimate includes only the most serious infections caused by the germ, known as methicillin-resistant S taphylococcus au reus (MRSA).
“It’s really just the tip of the iceberg,” said Elizabeth A. Bancroft, a medical epidemiologist at the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health who wrote an editorial in JAMA accompanying the new studies. “It is astounding.”
MRSA is a strain of the ubiquitous bacterium that usually causes staph infections that are easily treated with common, or first-line, antibiotics in the penicillin family, such as methicillin and amoxicillin. Resistant strains of the organism, however, have been increasingly turning up in hospitals and in small outbreaks outside of heath-care settings, such as among athletes, prison inmates and children.
On Monday, Ashton Bonds, 17, of Lynch Station, Va., succumbed to MRSA, prompting officials to shut down 21 Bedford County schools today for cleaning to prevent further infections. The infection had spread to Bonds’s kidneys, liver, lungs and the muscle around his heart.
The MRSA estimate is being published with a report that a strain of another bacterium, which causes ear infections in children, has become impervious to every approved antibiotic for youngsters.
“Taken together, what these two papers show is that we’re increasingly facing antibiotic-resistant forms of these very common organisms,” Bancroft said.

So I wonder if this affliction is going to be nicknamed “Mrs. A”? 🙂
I discovered colloidal silver 2 years ago. I
absolutely LOVE the stuff, and learned to
make my own. I wish more people knew about it,
and would try it, instead of trusting in
strong antibiotics with side effects. I’m not
against them, but silver is my first choice.
I even give it to my kids.
There is a nasty side effect to using too much colloidal silver, though. It could turn you into a giant Smurf…

Weirdly enough i just advised someone about 3 mins before i opened up this article about a relative having this in a UK hospital where it is epidemic.
It is caused by years of bad procurement policy and penny pinching by hospitals.
In the UK we have some very advanced ways of treating it but as a country we are terrible at implementing the remedial processes (due to 30 yrs under investment).
From my own experience Manuka Honey (with as higher UMF factor) taken with warm water as a suppliment acts as an incredible agent to healing this nasty bacteria.
Also stores indefinitely and is a “use for anything” cure.
first off i would like to thank kevin for an awesome site. crypt is one of my first stops in the morning. i had to sign up because it seems no one knows about what i reveal below.
every living thing on earth has a resonant frequency or oscillation. this includes bacteria, parasites, viri and every human being/animal(your aura, electromagnetic field etc). the frequencies for Staphylococcus aureus are:
Staph_and_Strep_v – 40887, 9646, 7160, 2431, 1902, 1109, 1060, 1050, 1010, 985, 958, 934, 786, 727, 718, 686, 643, 576, 563, 542, 453, 436, 423, 411, 333, 134, 128
Staphylococci_infection (see also other Staph freqs, 727*, 786*) – 960, 727, 786, 453, 678, 674, 550, 1109, 424, 943, 1050, 643, 2600, 7160, 639, 1089, 8697
Staphylococcus_aureus (can cause boils, carbuncles, abscesses, tooth infection, heart disease, and infect tumors, 786*) – 8697, 7270, 1050, 999, 943, 824.4, 787, 784, 745, 738, 728, 727, 647, 644, 555, 478, 424
Staphylococcus_aureus_HC (tooth infection, abscesses, heart disease, invades tumors) – 18819.51, 936.97, 18968.87, 944.40

as you will see there are frequencies for everything.
you take the frequency of the invader, invert it and introduce it to the body. this was discovered by royal raymond rife. there are many ways to introduce the frequencies some better than others.
i am more than willing to teach those interested.
thank you again for a great site.
