The specific strain of CRE, known as Klebsiella pneumoniae, was isolated from one of her wounds in August.

Tests were negative for the mcr-1 gene

I believe the solution will not be new, more powerful antibiotics.

I think bacteriophages hold the key.

[proud American in Canada]

You are right. People treat them like they are are NyQuil or something.

So glad you cleared up the MRSA! :)

Hmmm...

[proud American in Canada]

Seriously? People defecate in public in India?!

No pun intended, but, Holy Cow!

Recommendation for chronic sinusitis and bronchitis bad enough to break a rib from coughing? Prefer natural to chems any day. On going won’t go away despite script meds.

[Honest Nigerian]

Your Dad and the antibiotics - every time he got a cold (!) and stopped taking them when he felt better.

Actually, there is a growing body of evidence that the 10-day to two-week courses of anti-biotics have caused some of these resistance problems. Studies done in the UK show that once you are well enough to go back to work (or resume your normal routine) you can stop taking the ABs. But now our natural immune systems have been weakened by over-reliance on the drugs.

I have gotten some great info. by searching the problem and essential oils. For instance: https://treato.com/Chronic+Sinusitis,Essential+Oils/?a=s

http://birchhillhappenings.com/bronchit.htm

You will begin to see some Essential oils that are must haves. Then consider your best administering way for your problem and get the appropriate containers.

I would do the “bandits oil” for everyone as basic treatment or preventative.

Freep mail if needed.

Obama's fault!

I know orange oil and oil of oregano helped my sinus infection.

[GailA]

I’m new to using oils, love Tea Tree oil for skin irritation patches that are med caused they are not cleared up using creams. Some scents hit my sinuses hard and plug me up. Loath going down the laundry isle to many chem smells. I try and buy unscented stuff if possible.

Would love to find one for osteoarthritis hand pain.

[RegulatorCountry]

Capsaicin creme works to an extent for osteoarthritis.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

[refreshed]

We also use essential oils for our various maladies (lots of kids in the house). We have had to go through very, very few courses of antibiotics and have also used Grapefruit Seed Extract to great affect, as well as essential oils.

[who knows what evil?]

I have used essential oils for years...never get sick. (In unhealthy East Tennessee, that is saying something.) As usual, my wife gets her MANDATED FLU SHOT, gets the flu, and is hacking and sneezing all around the house. Me? Not even a sniffle. She hates that damn shot...hates it.

Any country that has an issue with street defecation, is by definition, a 3rd world country.

The US is a third world country?

[T-Bone Texan]

They poop in the same holy river they brush their teeth in, as cadavers float by!

Truly a turd world country.

[GailA]

Blisters skin too. Skin is fragile, had Voltaren Gel stuff tore up my gut.

“and called up a doctor friend of his for ABs every time he got a cold (!) “

Shame on that doctor.

Thanks for the heads up on Grapefruit seed extract.
