Fight MRSA and Super Germs Naturally

Did you know that this hospital acquired infections are the 4th leading cause of death in the U.S. after heart disease, cancer & strokes?

But, these killer infections do not only reside in the hospital! They can be found throughout the community! It gets WORSE: some of these infections are resistant to almost every antibiotic! This is why these bacteria have been given the name SUPER GERMS!

One of the most well-known SUPER GERMS is MRSA (Methicillin-resistant: Staphylococcus aureus). It is resistant to the antibiotics methicillin, amoxicillin, penicillin & oxacillin. It was reported a few years ago by ABC news that MRSA was resistant at the time to 15-30 different antibiotics.

The CDC (Center for Disease Control) determined from 1999 to 2000, an estimated 135,969 hospitalizations with a diagnosis of MRSA infection occurred. They also reported that this virulent infection kills approximately 12, 000 each year!

This staph bacteria is not the only one to become resistant to antibiotics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is now highly resistant to virtually all antibiotics and is causing a 57.1% death rate in pneumonia cases. Even  E.coli has a strain resistant to antibiotics.

Once only found in hospitals, these super germs are found everywhere. Last year there were causes reported in my area of germs being found in gyms, pool areas, and children’s day care. Personally, I have known several people who have contracted MRSA and various forms of antibiotic resistant infections. It has literally taken months for them to get well, and they were lucky, as it can cause death!

Now that antibiotics are widely ineffective how can you protect yourself and your loved one from SUPER GERMS?

Have you ever considered a natural treatment?

I am going to introduce you to Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils that you can use as a Natural Treatment!

Essential oils have been known and used by man for thousands of years, yet it has only been since the 1930s that medical researchers around the world have documented their antimicrobial effects. Today we know that essential oils have tremendous benefits when inhaled, ingested or applied topically.

Researchers have found that essential oils have potent effects against SUPER GERMS!

The French physician Dr. Jean Valnet, author of “The Practice of Aromatherapy”, wrote: “Infectious microbes do not appear to become accustomed to the essential oils as they do the many forms of treatment using antibiotics.”

Due to the complexity of the chemical constituents found in essential oils SUPER GERMS find it difficult to build resistance.

Aromatherapist Jane Buckle noted that while antibiotics are becoming more complex to overcome mutating germs, they are not as complex as essential oils. The oils “have a hundred or more components, so it is arguable that the organism would find it more difficult to become resistant to them.”

There are two studies that have mentioned bacterial non-resistance to the oils. At the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine in Kyoto, Japan, researchers studied lemongrass essential oil against the ulcer-causing bacteria H. pylori and wrote: “Resistance to lemongrass did not develop even after 10 sequential passages, whereas resistance to clarithromycin developed under the same conditions.”

Dental researchers who were testing the use of essential oils in toothpaste noted that “there was no evidence of the development of bacterial resistance to the antimicrobial activity of the essential oils or the emergence of opportunistic pathogens.”

ESSENTIAL OILS THAT KILL SUPER GERMS: 

Melaleuca (tea tree): 

1 study tested Melaleuca against 66 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, 64 of them methicillin resistant (MRSA). All 66 isolates were susceptible to Melaleuca. Another staph study found that Melaleuca’s antimicrobial action is a result of disrupting the cell membrane structure of bacteria. A British study tested tea-tree oil against the fungi Candida and MRSA, among many other bacteria. The oil was effective against 64 of 90 bacterial isolates.

Geranium: 

A test of essential oils against different methicillin-resistant staph bacteria found that a combination of grapefruit seed extract and geranium oil had the greatest antibacterial effect against MRSA, while Geranium and Melaleuca were the most active against methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (Oxford Strain).

Thyme: 

Researchers in Korea actually found a germ killing synergy between thyme oil and the antibiotic norfloxacin, particularly against resistant strains S. aureus.

Oregano: 

Oregano (which is very powerful) constituents carvacrol and thymol are deadly against MRSA! Both methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant S. aureus are inhibited by these constituents according to an Italian Study. Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center tested Oregano essential oil and monolaurin, a form of fatty acid found in human and coconut milk. They concluded that “origanum and/or monolaurin, alone or combined with antibiotics, might prov useful in the prevention and treatment of several bacterial infections, especially those that are difficult to treat and/or are antibiotic resistant.

Cinnamon Bark & Clove:

Staph infections are responsable for many disease states including toxic shock.Staph bacteria produce dangerous exterotoxins. A study at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh found that cinnamon and clove oils decreased the production of enterotoxin A and enterotoxin B.

Basil: 

Bulgarian research found that basil essential oil, at a very low concentrations, has a strong inhibitory effect against multi-drug-resistant isolates of Staphylococcus, enterococcus & Pseudomonas.

Lemon: 

The antimicrobial activity of lemon oil was found to be often superior to Melaleuca. An australian study found that Lemon oil has significant antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas, Candida, Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), Aspergillus, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Propionibacterium acnes.

Peppermint & Spearmint:

In a Japanese study, peppermint & spearmint inhibited a wide array of bacteria including ulcer-causing H. pylori, E. coli and salmonella and more importantly, MRSA.

Lavender: 

British researchers tested a number of essential oils against two of the most difficult-to-kill bacteria MRSA and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. While Melaleuca proved to inhibit with the lowest concentration, peppermint, thyme and lavender, were also effective against these SUPER GERMS.

Lemongrass:

Two studies named lemongrass as well as cinnamon, thyme, and peppermint oils as effective against a number of disease-causing bacteria, including MRSA.

Eucalyptus: 

UK researchers Dr. Eugene Sherry and P.H. Warnke have used a eucalyptus based product to clear MRSA infections, including a case of MRSA osteomyelitis (bone infection) so severe amputation was thought to be the only solution. The man’s leg was saved!

Helpful hints for fighting SUPER GERMS:

The following are helpful single oils that can be used to aid in fighting SUPER GERMS:

Melaleuca and Geranium: internally encapsulate and take anytime you suspect infection or have an actual infection.

Thyme, Oregano, Basil, Clove, Cinnamon & Eucalyptus: Internally encapsulate and take for powerful antibiotic and antiviral effects. Topically because of their caustic nature you may need to use in conjunction with a carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil to ease potential skin irritation.

When looking for an essential oil, demand 100% pure therapeutic-grade oils, carefully grown and prepared to deliver the maximum bio-activity, energy and chemical profile of the living plant. These premium and potent oils are more costly than the synthetic and diluted oils used in most store brand cosmetic and health products but remember, for optimal safety, efficacy and result only 100% pure therapeutic-grade oils will do!
