All About MRSA

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is caused by a strain of staph bacteria that has become resistant to the antibiotics commonly used to treat ordinary staph infections. Be sure to keep an eye on minor skin problems: pimples, insect bites, cuts and scrapes. If wounds become infected, see your doctor.

MRSA is the result of decades of unnecessary antibiotic use. For years, antibiotics have been prescribed for colds, flu and other viral infections that don't respond to these drugs. Antibiotics do not destroy every germ they target. Therefore, germs that survive treatment with one antibiotic, soon learn to resist others, making it difficult to treat the bacteria. This can allow the infections to spread and sometimes become life threatening.

Prevention:

• Wash your hands - Scrubbing your hands briskly for at least 15 seconds with soap and water remains your best defense against germs.

• Keep wounds covered - Keep cuts and abrasions clean and covered with sterile, dry bandages until they heal.

• Keep personal items personal - Avoid sharing personal items such as towels, sheets, razors, clothing and athletic equipment. MRSA spreads on contaminated objects as well as through direct contact.

• Shower after athletic games or practices - Use soap and water and do not share towels.

• Sanitize linens - If you have a cut or sore, wash towels and bed linens in hot water and dry on high. Wash gym and athletic clothes after each wearing.

Treatment:

Essential oils are your first line of defense against bacteria. Bacteria do not become resistant to essential oils. Essential oils can knock out virulent bacterial infections when antibiotics don't work. Treating at the onset of the infection makes it easier to eliminate.

One of our new oils, MRSA Blend, is specifically formulated to be a powerful synergy to combat even the most pathogenic bacteria. It is 99.5% effective against all bacteria, even antibiotic resistant infections. MRSA Blend needs to be diluted and comes with application instructions.

Along with the MRSA Blend, you will need to use a 10 day round of Mega Immune to support your immune system.
