Here’s a news story out of Atlanta that I thought was interesting and a little scary:

The number of people hospitalized with a dangerous intestinal superbug has been growing by more than 10,000 cases a year, according to a new study in Canada.

The germ, resistant to some antibiotics, has become a regular menace in hospitals and nursing homes. The study found it played a role in nearly 300,000 hospitalizations in 2005, more than double the number in 2000.

The infection, Clostridium difficile, is found in the colon and can cause diarrhea and a more serious intestinal condition known as colitis. It is spread by spores in feces. But the spores are difficult to kill with most conventional household cleaners or antibacterial soap.

C-diff, as it’s known, has grown resistant to certain antibiotics that work against other colon bacteria. The result: When patients take those antibiotics, competing bacteria die off and C-diff explodes.

This virulent strain of C-diff was rarely seen before 2000.

“The nature of this infection is changing. It’s more severe,” said Dr. L. Clifford McDonald, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expert who was not part of the study.

There are other factors that play into the rise of C-diff cases as well, including a larger of number of patients who are older and sicker. “And there may be some overuse and inappropriate use of antibiotics,” said Dr. Marya Zilberberg, a University of Massachusetts researcher and lead author of the study.

The Zilberberg study was based on a sample of more than 36 million annual discharges from non-governmental U.S. hospitals. That data was used to generate the study’s national estimates.

The research is being published in the June issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases, a CDC publication.

Using other scientists’ estimates, the study concluded that 2.3 percent of the cases in 2004 were fatal — about 5,500 deaths. That was nearly double the percentage of C-diff-related cases that ended in death in 2000.

Many of the people who died had other health problems. The study did not try to determine if Clostridium difficile was the main cause of death in each case, Zilberberg said.

But earlier research concluded the infection is the underlying cause of thousands of deaths annually, and the problem is getting worse.

C-diff has become an acute health concern in Canada, where it was blamed for 260 deaths at seven Ontario hospitals recently, and 2,000 deaths in Quebec since 2002.

The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology is currently working with U.S. hospitals to study prevalence of the infection and what infection control measures seem to work best.

“This is not a time for alarm, but more a time for educating health professionals to understand this particular pathogen,” said Kathy Warye, chief executive of the Washington, D.C.-based association.

These people and organizations and hospitals would benefit so much from using the New Silver Solution from Nutronix International.  It doesn’t have the same limitations of antibiotics because it has a different kill mechanism that the superbugs cannot adapt to.

Learn more about how to enhance your immune system with the patented New Silver Solution by clicking the link above, reading the article, scrolling down and watching the video posted below and then order some for your own home and use. Every Nursing home in America should have this stuff in every patient’s room.  If they did, there would be no more talk of ’superbugs’ and MRSA and SARS and C-Diff etc and the use of Antibiotics would drop precipitously.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to grow out of control in the United States. It used to be a fairly harmless bacterium that could easily be treated with penicillin or other antibiotics.  MRSA is found on skin and in mucuous cavities like the nasal passages.  If left unchecked or uncleaned, it can turn into a vicious beast that can cause illness and death or infections that can lead to loss of limbs. 

The 10 year old son of a friend of mine went in to a local hospital in Orlando for a standard appendicitis operation where they would remove the boy’s infected appendix. The surgical operation went smoothly and the boy went home after 3 short days.

2 days later, he began complaining of nausea and dizziness and contracted a cough that he didn’t have before that made it hard for him to breathe.  Back he and his Mom went to their doctor who after seeing how high his fever was, decided to keep him at the hospital for a few days.  Turns out he had contracted a form of pneumonia caused by the MRSA bug.  He recovered after a weeklong stay in the hospital and under intensive antibiotic treatment.  A close call to be sure.  It was only after his Mom told me what had happened that I told her about the New Silver Solution from Nutronix International. 

My children and I use it religiously and rarely have illnesses or problems that  children do at school. This was supposed to have been one of the worst years for the flu since the vaccines that were administered to children happened to be for a different flu strain than was going around. Lots of children became very sick for days at a time.  Not mine. They have sat around children all year with runny noses and coughs and sneezes but never caught the same illnesses that were rampant in our school.  The teacher was ought for more than 3 weeks this year due to colds and flus that she caught from her young children. 

Anyway, it’s really no surprise to us that our children rarely get sick. They take the New silver solution as a prophylactic - a defensive medicine designed to keep silver nano particles in their bloodstream; the same silver nanoparticles that easily destroy cold and flu viruses that invade the body’s defense mechanisms. Since their kill mechanism is so different from antibiotics, cold and flu viruses have no chance to develop resistence against it.

This patented silver product should be in every medicine cabinet and emergency kit in every home in the United States and the world. It’s harmless to the human body, it can be used outside your body to heal cuts and abrasions and stings and baby rashes that clear up in 24 hours, athlete’s foot, fungi, and it can be taken internally as a mouthwash to prevent plaque buildup between the teeth, kill bacteria in open cavities. 

It is taken internally as an infection fighter and prophylactic against all kinds of ailments including colds, flus, pneumonia, laryngitis, internal infections, etc.  It has been used and tested in clinics throughout the world against hundreds of conditions and situations and has stood up very well indeed - even against malaria, west nile virus etc.

Anyway, the boy and his mom now are now regular users of the New silver solution.  Insurance will not currently pay for it so we the people just have to keep enough in our monthly budget to keep some on hand ‘just in case’ the worst happens.  I mean the always impending pandemic that is approaching the world’s shores.

There is only one New Silver Solution that can be found at Nutronix International. Become a preferred customer on autoship and you’ll find it at a discount.

I’ve written about Salba. It’s a real superfood or supergrain. But what about NuGreens, the new green superfood?  Is it really like carrying around 5 nutritious ready-to-eat salads?

I’ve tried it and personally, I think it’s claims are ‘understated’!  I opened my bottle of NuGreens and found a green powder in it. I measured out a teaspoon and put it in an 8 ounce glass of very cold water, stirred it up and noticed that it dissolved very quickly and thoroughly into the water - some of the heavier granules of powder settled at the bottom of the glass.  I tipped the glass up and gulped down a large swallow. It was surprisingly good! Refreshing! A touch of bitter sweetness reminding me of stevia or some other type of sweetener.  I waited a few seconds, then finished the glass off. 

Within ten minutes, I was feeling good! I hadn’t eaten anything that morning and I was energized and focused for several hours afterwards. In the afternoon, when I usually get a little drowsy, I didn’t. This was good.  I didn’t expect such a kick out of it.  Anyway, I take it each morning and I’m getting used to the higher level of energy I have.

I suspect everyone who tries this stuff will have a slightly different experience with NuGreens but after looking at the ingredient list and the cold manufacturing process, I am not surprised that it does have such an effect.  I’ll give it a C+ or B- for taste and if you put more than a teaspoon in an 8 oz glass of water or milk or juice, you will get some residue of the powder at the bottom of the glass.

To learn the ingredients in this new superfood, go to this NuGreens article.  

Is Salba - the superfood once used by the Aztecs to power their civilization’s health and vibrance really as good as we’ve read?  In a word, Yes!  I bought my own can of it and used it in cereal, scrambled eggs, cookie recipes and whatever else I might cook up - including lasagna and yes, it did increase my energy levels, yes, it did make me more regular and yes, it is tasteless, and makes me feel full.  I noticed that each grain became gelatinous and expanded when wet - thus it must expand in my stomach and make me feel full.  Anyway, I’ve just written another article on it and have found a reasonably-priced source of Salba.  It’s still pretty new in the United States and most people still haven’t heard of it.

You can get salba from my health and wellness site. Just click salba here.
