Before starting my own company, I worked in nursing homes, rehab centers and hospitals for years. The most common thing that you read in a chart were: patient history of MRSA, VRE and C-Diff. The funny thing is that is was so common that most of the staff ignored it as if the patient just had something minor such as a cold.

For 25 years I've been warning about the overutilization of antibiotics. Then, by no surprise, antibiotic resistant bacteria started to emerge.

I am now worried about all of the unnecessary vaccinations for measles, mumps etc. As humans developed natural resistance to these diseases, we react to them with a 'sickness' response, but it is usually mild in most individuals.

Over time, I believe most of those illnesses would affect us no worse than a cold. But, the problem is this: now that we are using a herd mentality to vaccinate our children, we will stop developing resistance as the viruses mutate over time. We have lived with these viruses for millions of years, and our resistance has changed over time as they have mutated. By using vaccines, we no longer will alter our response as the virus mutates.

This is my theory....any ideas or responses would be welcomed.

Think about it folks, everything has a name and a meaning. How is it possible that there are 10 billion names and only one meaning?

A germ is a germ is a germ is a germ.

Only one way to combat these germs - CHANGE EVERYTHING!!!!!
and you will not get sick.

Without your health you have nothing.

Hmmmm, it's like the line from Mario Puzo's novel/movie in which Michael Corlione is warned to watch out for the first person to pay condolences at the funeral being the traitor....

Let's see which Big Pharma company, or companies, rushes to market with a new, OR old, tired, mothballed, dangerous, or obsolete, drug to combat this staph strain....

Shades of 'The Constant Gardener', yet again....

Non fiction out strips fiction every time.

they have sent home from my childrens school 5 flyers saying that this has been found there at the school, and that we need to be watching for signs on the kids. it is a vicious circle that gets worse every time it goes around.
