Can We Beat the MRSA Superbug?
15/11/2009

Should we be afraid of the hold the MRSA Superbug seems to be taking? Not afraid but certainly very concerned.  It's bad enough having to go into hospital with the worry of an operation without the added anxiety of succumbing to this particular beastie.  So how can we tackle it, what can be done about it?

Firstly we need to look at how such a situation came about.  It has been proved that germs build up a resistance to drugs.. This has been seen with rats who have become immune to rat poison so that more has to be given or a new rodent killer invented.  With anti-biotics the same applies.  The body becomes used to them and longer courses or stronger dosages have to be used but with severe ill effects.  This also applies to anti-septics.  As we keep using stronger and stronger solutions so the MRSA bug becomes immune, the bug changes and a new resistant strain emerges. In this scenario the bug will always win becomes it can change and adapt far quicker than we can invent stronger anti-septics.

Is there a way around it?  Yes there is.  Firstly, we have in effect brought the situation on ourselves..  If we had used natural disinfectants the germs would not have built up a resistance.  Thyme oil is one of the strongest disinfectants there is and in experiments has been proved to be 8 times more effective than Phenol, an anti-septic derived from Benzene.  Garlic oil is another anti-septic (and an anti-viral), which was used in dressings during the First World War along with Sphagnum Moss.   In fact Sphagnum Moss was used 2,000 years ago to staunch the bleeding of Roman soldiers injured in battle. 

By using natural anti-biotics the body does not develop a resistance to it and by using a natural anti-septic the bacteria will not build a resistance to that either.  Why? Because everything has its own inherent characteristics. The universe responds to its own, of which plants and human beings are a part.  This is why birds don't try to swim and fish don't try to fly.  (Yes, I know there are flying fish and birds who can dive but you know what I mean)!  So when we go with nature there is no need for resistance. Whereas pouring chemicals into our system completely throws the body out of kilter.  I can attest to this with the people I see who are ill from the residue of anti-biotics they have taken and from which I have to detox them but I have never come across a client who needed treatment from taking natural remedies.

But are there natural anti-biotics and although some remedies may deal with minor infections such as grazes, what about viral infections and serious disease, arent they different?

The answer to the first question is, yes there are natural anti-biotics and to the second, no, an infection is an infection although the remedy will be different depending on the disease and in some cases, especially where homoeopathy is used, on the characteristics of the person themselves.

We have already mentioned that garlic oil is an anti-viral.  It can, in its various forms, (i.e. as an oil or raw clove) be used for respiratory infections such as pleurisy which Pleurisy Root will also do.  Pleurisy root is also used in pneumonia.  For urinary infections, Silver Birch; ‘flu in general Boneset, or homoeopathic Gelsemium which is also the first remedy of choice in Swine Flu.  For cystitis there is Bearberry, Couchgrass, Corn Silk and Yarrow or homoeopathic Cantharis, whilst for high temperature, Sage, or if part of flu, Boneset, or homoeopathic Belladonna depending on other factors.  Even disease as virulent as plague responds to Rose and Angelica herbally and there are several choices of homoeopathic remedies.

If you are unfortunate enough to become infected with MRSA than garlic oil internally and externally is probably your best choice and homoeopathic remedies are available depending on symptoms.

As to the MRSA bug when faced with Thyme Oil?  I should think it would flee!
