New Research On MRSA Treatment;Manuka Honey

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 04:39:22 +0000

Vancomycin is the last chemical antibiotic in existence that is capable of fighting methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus or MRSA, a deadly mutation of bacteria that has become resistant to antibiotics. Chemical treatment options are few; therefore there is a need for natural medications that are just as potent and reliable.

In New Zealand, the balsamic and earthy smelling tea tree, the Manuka, has blossoms used to produce Manuka Honey, a natural product successfully used to treat MRSA. Honeybees take nectar from the Manuka bush and make honey with extraordinary antibacterial properties. In addition to the hydrogen peroxide found in all types of honey, Manuka Honey has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties that do not change when the honey is exposed to light, heat or when it is diluted.

The use of Manuka Honey against MRSA is not a home treatment; there is scientific evidence for the viability of the honey. MRSA replicates by dividing into two cells once every half hour; however, when Manuka Honey is present, the cell cycle is interrupted. Manuka Honey prevents MRSA bacteria from completing division, effectively disabling the bacteria. When Manuka Honey interacts with MRSA it destroys the bacterium by drawing water out of the cells and compromising the microbe’s foundation.

Manuka Honey contains an additional antibacterial component known as the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF, which is also used to rate the anti-bacterial strength of the honey. Highly active Manuka Honey has a UMF rating higher than 10 and is labelled as “active”. It is an entirely natural product, free of pesticides and other harmful chemical agents and that can be used to cure a myriad of diseases, from staph infections to fungal infections. The osmotic effect of Manuka Honey has the additional benefit of preventing MRSA bacteria from developing a resistance, unlike the common chemical treatments that MRSA has already overcome.

Manuka Honey is so beneficial that it is now being marketed to hospitals across the globe as a treatment for MRSA.

MRSA Symptoms

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 00:57:31 +0000

MRSA is a fatal disease and is caused due to Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. MRSA stands for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. MRSA causes skin and soft tissue infection and can also lead to pneumonia. The MRSA symptoms are some times overlooked and ignored which could be deadly.

Hence if some one deducts the following symptoms it should be diagnosed and treated immediately. It all starts as a small red inflammation often mistaken as pimple, boils or a spider bite. These gradually develop into deep pus that would require surgical draining out. If it is ignored then it would enter the body causing fatal infection to the bones, joints, lungs and even heart. Another symptom usually seen when you are infected by the bacteria is a rapid spread of the infection in your skin. Apart from the infection the person affected will have little or no reaction to antibodies. Swollen, red, tender tissues are also symptom for MRSA. Extreme pain in the affected area and warmth of the body are some other symptoms. Some people also get urinary tract infection as a result of these bacteria. Healthy adults and children who don’t have MRSA may also be carriers of MRSA since they can carry the bacteria on their skin and inside their nose these people are colonized and incase of a cut or wound the people are infected.

It is difficult to treat these bacteria since it is resistant to commonly used antibodies so it is important to consult a doctor if your infection is not getting better after 3 or 4 days and the infection is getting worse. Also if you have a fever then it adds to the trauma. If you have an illness and poor immune system then it certainly requires a detailed diagnosis. In most cases MRSA can be cured if deducted early, but if the infection spreads then it would be fatal. People affected with MRSA must wash their hands and keep it clean. Close the wound with a clean bandage and make sure not to touch others wound or cut. Do not share your towel or razors. Hence it is important that you consider the above points and see to the symptoms to cure MRSA as early as possible.
