Live healthy and long

CRE from CDC
First it was the MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylicoccus Aureus): but now what is more frighteting is CRE (Carbepenem Resistant Enterobacteria) One such example is the Kleibseilla which comes from the gut.
Difficulty with CRE:
l. No antibiotics can kill them
2. They transfer virility to other bacteria;
3. They are quite deadly with mortality as high as 50% (you do not need the outbreak type infections as that from Ebola)
CRE situation:
4% of US hospital have at least one CRE infection at the first part of 2012;
18% of long term facilties have CRE (homes, mental institutions)
They have been confirmed to exist in 42 states in the last 10 years.
Frightening? Cause overtreatment with antibiotics.
The CRE infection may occur at:
l. Hospitalization especially at ICU
2. Invasive procedures
3. Compromised immune system: diabetes, cancer, lupus,
4. Inadequate infection control in health facilities
5. Prolonged antimicrobial treatment.
Thus, diminishing the use of antibiotics with natural means is a way to prevent increase of CRE:
1. Washing hands especially after coming from CR or public places;
2. Supercharging your immune system: through diet, exercise, anti oxidant, Vit D.
3. Use alternative anti microbials: garlic, Vit C., olive leaf extract, cinnamon, colloidal silver, tea tree extract, Copper

Fwd: Germier Than Toilet Seats, But You Touch Them Every Day
Dont touch that is dirty! That is what our mothers use to say when we were young.
Now there are really dirty dirty things we should not touch or be careful when touching
One of the dirtiest thing is the ATM machine especially the Enter button. There are many other dirtier and germier places that Dr. Mercola mentions
The hospital, the uniform of hospital staff also harbor a lot of germs; so with livestock farms.
MRSA infection
The MRSA bug pictures
They can harbor MRSA (Methicilin resistant Staphylococcus Aureus), and other anti biotic resistant bugs. But you do not worry about them for as long as you have strong immune system.
The best antidote is handwashing.
