MRSA INFECTION (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus)
Click here for latest news on MRSA
Medical definition
The bacteria Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and several other strains of bacteria live in our gut, known as ‘alert organisms’ (also called gentamicin resistant organisms). In most cases these bacteria cause no problems but when they enter another body system, such as the blood or urine, they may cause illness.
When colonised, people that are carrying the bacteria in their nose, throat or gut, or on their skin do not show any symptoms. However, if the patient has a temperature, and or redness of a wound this may indicate an infection.
These bacteria are resistant to most conventional antibiotics.
Patients now get released from hospital too soon, even before wounds have properly healed. Speaking with my own doctor recently he could name 8 patients in our local area who had a resistant MRSA infection at home trying deparately to get rid of it.
One such person was Deborah whose experience her mother reports below.
Testimonial
Her (Deborah’s) wounds are on her spine. One close to the top, which is approx.2cm by 1.5cm this is overgranulated and weeps. The other is approx. 0.75cm by 0.5cm and near her waistline this is overgranulated but only weeps a little. She had a major spinal operation two years ago and although she has had antibiotics through a Hickman line and a wash-out so far nothing has worked. She has been on oral antibiotics and creams for several months but nothing has been able to shift the MRSA infection. The only option available to her via the hospital is to have all the metalwork removed. As you can imagine she does not want to go back into hospital nor does she want the metalwork removed. We would be very grateful if you could produce a cream and some capsules for her. If you require any further information we can speak to the District Nurses on Saturday, as she dresses her wounds then, whilst I do them during the week.
Just a few weeks later
Dear Peter
I had not been in touch as mum said she had emailed you. I don’t think she wanted to get carried away, but the news is very exciting - I no longer have any infection in my back and it is all thanks to the treatments you so generously suggested. Having had these two wounds on my back weeping for 2 years I don't know quite how to thank you and hope that I get the opportunity to thank you in person at some point. I will also be telling anyone who may benefit from allicin how miraculous it is.
I am going to the hospital on Thursday. I am not sure if my consultant can quite believe what has happened, as he, along with some of my district nurses, are not too happy about the thought of using alternative remedies. When I think how many courses of antibiotics I have been instructed to take in the last 2 years and how many biopsies came back positive for MRSA, I am not surprised that the medical staff cannot believe it!
Thank you once again for all you have done. You saved me from another horrendous operation. Maybe I can repay you in some way. For instance, if it would be of any benefit, I could write something about my experience with MRSA and how allicin cured it, if that might help promote the product - just a thought.
Yours eternally grateful
Deborah
