Hospitals need to take action against the spread of a deadly, antibiotic-resistant strain of bacteria, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The bacteria kill up to half of patients who are infected.
The bacteria, called carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or CRE, have increased over the past decade and grown resistant to even the most powerful antibiotics, according to the CDC. In the first half of 2012, 200 health care facilities treated patients infected with CRE.
"CRE are nightmare bacteria," CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden said in a statement. "Our strongest antibiotics don't work and patients are left with potentially untreatable infections. Doctors, hospital leaders and public health must work together now to implement CDC's 'detect and protect' strategy and stop these infections from spreading."

I hear that. You are knowledgeable . We are talking about 100 million dead.I sat my husband down and told him and he just glazed over!! This is panic time!!
The only one I disagree with is sugar...pure poison, unless as in organic fruit, as fructose.
You’re immune system is like a muscle, use it or lose it....People are so concerned about germs they try to protect themselves from them at all times, which never allows their immune systems to develop to their full potential.
Kids are supposed to play in dirt.
Around 1983 I was a young healthy guy working in Western, Kansas. I came down with a really bad sinus infection.
The Dr. gave me erythromycin and in a few days I was just getting worse. I actually began to wonder if I might not get well. The Dr. told me to keep taking the first antibiotic and gave me a pile of Keflex samples. Within a few days I finally began to get better. We had a group meeting in Wichita and I decided to attend. After only one day I had a relapse and went to the emergency room at St Francis in Wichita.
The lady Dr. told my that I didn’t have a bacterial infection but she took a throat swab and came back about 10 minutes later and said I did have one. She then prescribed penicllin. I still remember the prescription said Pen tab VK. Well that was the magic bullet. Within 2 days I was totally well.
Thanks for the info on the CDC stats Laz. I track unfudged economic numbers out of the St Louis Fed for the same reason. I was just about to begin adding demographic data and I wondered about the CDC numbers.
What hasn’t been brought out yet is the connection between the AIDs, homosexual and illegal immigrant populations in spreading disease. Being intolerant out of spite is not my purpose, but the stats paint a compelling picture of what is going on.
I’ve had two close brushes with MRSA, a business partner’s son got it, he was on his high school’s wrestling team. An hourly employee where I work got it and was still coming in a week after diagnosis, could’ve been bad but there was no outbreak. Hospitals make me nervous these days, I use the heck out of the ubiquitous alcohol-based hand sanitizers whenever I’m unable to avoid going inside one.
It’s just a matter of time, the bacteria are winning and we’re almost out of ammunition with which to fight them.
order a pizza and put a TON of oregano on it
(natural antibiotic)
Please let me know if it helps
take some Niacin, drink huge quantities of OJ, take fish oil, magnesium, and cinnamon and most of all TUMERIC
You’re limiting your thinking to dietary intake. Sugar is an effective preservative, hams are cured with it. Think topical. Honey, too.
Hams are cured with nitrates and nitrites as is most pork, cold cuts are sprayed with silicon supposedly to prevent lysteria. (More likely a payoff to some silicone producer). Honey is iffy for me personally, the bee colony collapse happened for a reason and it was likely “man made”.
ooops...thanks for posting..
Does sound rather nasty..
You’re talking about modern industrial food production. Cure a ham yourself. Salt, sugar or smoke.
You're right ClearCase - AND he needs to raise taxes and buy more drones for Homeland Horror... Someone HAS to do something!!! Maybe hire a few more trolls to stop citizens from communicating... Something. Anything. We've got to ACT!
And they vote.
lol! My neighbors don’t even like my big dog! I doubt they would welcome “Babe”! You funny though!
I have friends and a husband, that will go to the doctor for every sniffle. They think it is the healthy thing to do modern medicine and all that.
I just see it as weakening the immune system. Yes, I do take prescriptions if I absolutely must. But I'd rather be strong enough to do without.
We may all have to be...someday.
They aren't 'winning', they are only doing their job.
If I have the “creeping crud” and it just won't leave, I get help. I just don't depend on meds for every ache, pain and sniffle.
They’re winning out over mankind’s efforts to eradicate them.
