Scientists Issue Urgent World-Wide Warning on Bacteria with Superbug Gene

[ktlight]

'Nuclear meltdowns. Oil spills. More strife in Africa and the Middle East. GMO tainted crops. So what else could happen? Unfortunately, another problem has surfaced that has scientists calling for the "urgent need for global action". This time, it's worrisome news about a gene that turns bacteria into not just superbugs -- but SUPER superbugs.

Bottom line: this gene (dubbed the New Delhi metallo-s-lactamase 1 gene, NDM-1, for short) enables bacteria to resist virtually any and perhaps all antibiotics.'

As NaturalNews has reported for years, superbugs are a growing problem in the US and elsewhere. Instead of panicking about exposure or feeling helpless when Big Pharma's drug arsenal becomes useless, consider investigating natural preventive measures and treatments such as Manuka honey

one has to ask where are these so-called superbugs manufactured?

This bacteria is just a demonstration of the endless path which has been in decades: the intensive use of antibiotics causes bacteria growth more dangerous, then we must create new more powerful antibiotic that will cause the appearance of bacteria even more dangerous...

The day of the bacteria will resist all known antibiotics, it will hurt us badly.

Fear, fear, fear!

I am not afraid.

Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food -

Wiser words have never been spoken regarding our health. Au Naturale, all the time. It's the best way to go.

There are many alternative treatments that may be able to deal with superbugs, and even super super bugs...

I am currently writing a book on the topic and hope to have it finished by the fall.

The downfall with alternative medicine at this point is that there are so many uncertain unknowns about the results.
If you have one of these bugs you want to do what works... all there really is is antidotal evidience, available to most people anyway, unless you happen to hook up with a doctor who is highly skilled in infection treatment with alternative medicine and they are still far and few between... so those who are facing the problem
do no have good science to base a decision on nor a physician of some sort to guide them

that does not mean that some of the alternatives do not work, for they do. But its a very difficult position to be in when you are facing a life threatening disease.

Manuka honey is certainly a valuable tool for certain situations as is MMS and a high grade colloidal silver.
Much depends on where the infection lies and how much time you have.

Ozone therapy should also be considered if you have access to IV ozone therapy.

This is not the last super bug we will see and certainly Lyme disease is a superbug also that can kill, but most, if not cured in the first couple of months, often just lends to a miserable life with endless treatments required. (see my post on the alterntive cure for lyme in the Alternative med forum) Im sure more will be coming down the pike. It also may cause diseases that look like Parkinsons and MS, and ALS. What is crucial is that hospitals keep it contained. Once it moves out into the community times will get tough... much tougher than what we are currently seeing with MRSA.

Hospitals have been very nonchallant in providing infection control. They are primarily counting on handwashing as the primary infection control weapon... which is absolutley rediculous in this day and age. Ultra violet light is the answer. All patient rooms and surgical suites should be treated with ultraviolet light.. even ozone gas can be used in certain situations. This would put a end to it all quickly. These technologies should be implemented in all clinics, hospitals and public places there there may be a high rate of contamination... I will tell you, those wipes you now see availiable in supermarkets to wipe down shopping carts in the USA are there for a reason. Use them.

There have been too many lies spread about the "dangers" of ozone gas. I know for a fact that it is all lies through the interviews I have done with people who work with ozone gas daily.

Fear, fear, fear!

I am not afraid.

You may not be afraid, and fear should not run anyone, but if you are not educated, awake and aware, when one of these superbugs comes your way, or to a family member you will not be prepared and there is a high risk of loss of limb and life. Having worked in the health profession for 27 years in the USA I know first hand what I am talking about.

MRSA is now more prevelant within the community that within hospitals. The risks are higher in obtaining it out in the community. Now many hospitals test for MRSA upon admission so that they will know its entering its doors and they can take appropriate isolation measures. I have known at least two young men who lost limbs to MRSA, contracted from highschool gyms or locker rooms.. they also lost sports careers and scholarships.

Geez, whats next... locust? How about radioactive locust that carry flesh eating bacteria, theres a super bug for ya... for frig sakes! This keeps go'n and people are just gonna start doing some strange things because they will start to feel like there is nothing to loose.

has anyone learnt form the swine flu and bird flu scares?...don't take any of this kind of news very seriously UNTIL you get good evidence that it is spreading rapidly and many, are in fact, directly dying from it

keeping some mms handy would be a good idea as well

If this occurs this is when they have won. When they have transformed what little humanity we do have into being animals again. I certainly hope that this does mode of operation does not come to anyone. The ultimate test is to remain fully human until your dying breath. That said I have watched a number of people die from these diseases with their humanity fully intact... infact some quite enlightened.

although the diseases did not manefest as perhaps hoped for or planned or even out of natural evolution if that is what their origin was, they did make plenty out of the vaccination thing... and injected god only knows what to the unaware and sometimes even the unwilling... so they did get at least part of their dirty deed done.

and by the time that you get good evidence that sometime terrible is happening it will be too late to well prepare for it. Approach life as you wish, but for me and my family I have always thought to be knowledgable and prepared is best.

If you know that there are bad people out there who would do you harm you have a responsibilty to look out for yourself... that is if you want yourself to keep on keepin on. I must extend that responsibility to my family and hence to the larger family of community when I can

Interesting, next they will make a drug to attack specific ethnic groups.
