Antibiotic Fucidic Acid Linked To New Strain Of MRSA Superbug

Natural Remedies As Alternatives To Antibiotics

Common infections such as impetigo, also known as ‘school sores’ could once be treated quite simply with gentian violet until around 2000, when the drug companies suddenly insisted that this remedy be removed from the chemist shops, or pharmacies, in New Zealand and Australia.

Drug companies had realized how much money they would make if this inexpensive, long-lasting and harmless remedy was made unavailable to the general public, and their more expensive, short-life products marketed in its place.

Their reason for taking it off the shelves was that it could be ‘misused’, which could make it ‘dangerous’, they said. Ridiculous. Gentian violet has been used for perhaps hundreds of years. It is very effective, and perfectly safe to use as a remedy for all sorts of skin complaints.

No-one has ever died from ‘misusing’ Gentian Violet.

If we had been allowed to continue using Gentian Violet instead of antibiotic remedies such as Fucidic Acid, then the untreatable superbugs such as the MRSA might not have surged to the extent that they have.

The removal of gentian violet from the shelves of the chemist shops happened alongside a co-ordinated promotion for other pharmaceutical preparations. It was a hard-sell campaign for marketing new pharmaceutical preparations for skin diseases.

It did not matter what pharmacies or chemist shop you tried, these New Zealand and Australian pharmacies all tried to sell you other, much more expensive remedies than the good old gentian violet.

Note: Disappointing to see that alongside the article in the NZ Herald which told us about the new strain of untreatable disease, CAUSED by an antibiotic, was a wee promotion for another type of antibiotic, namely one which is being used as a vaccination for pneumococcal disease.

About the NZ Herald Article on Wednesday, March 18th, 2015: Who made the decision to put that plug for another vaccination there, in the same outlined space which warned about the dangers of antibiotics (vaccinations are antibiotics). This vaccination plug really weakens the message of the article on its left, which warns about the imminent life-threatening dangers of antibiotic use. That is why this wee promotion blog for vaccinations was placed next to the warning article – to suit the medical profession and drug manufacturers.

Don’t you see that there will be a danger with THIS vaccination antibiotic too?

All vaccination antibiotics will eventually have a similar effect to Fucidic acid: All antibiotics, including vaccination/immunization antibiotics, will eventually weaken the immunity of the population, which will make people more susceptible to infections all over again.

Antibiotic vaccinations and immunizations might wipe out some types of infections, but this phenomenon will encourage other, more virulent types of infections to occur.

AND – Just because the incidence of pneumococcal disease has fallen since the vaccination was added to the range of antibiotics given in 2008, New Zealand, does not necessarily mean the vaccination is having an effect: These viruses and bacterial infections have natural cycles where they are more virulent, cycles which create an epidemic.

All that the drug companies, and their medical partners in subterfuge, need to do to convince the populace that their vaccines are working, is to measure the incidence of the said disease in its off-peak period.

Alternatives To Vaccination

It surely is about time that the medical authorities, instead of discrediting alternative, natural remedies in order to keep dominant in the market place, begin serious study of Homeopathy, Herbal Medicine, and Vitamin C and A therapy.

When given in correct dosage, these are all safe, proven and effective alternatives to vaccination and antibiotic treatment in the treating of diseae.

The latest scare is the emergence of a new strain of MRSA staphylococcus aureus, a hospital superbug which is resistant to all antibiotics.

Dr Deborah Williamson, a clinical microbiologist from Otago University is reported as saying in NZ Herald, Wed, March 18th, 2015, that the antibiotic ointment Fusidic acid is to blame for the new, untreatable superbug, and that Fusidic acid has also caused a rise in bacterial infections which no longer respond to the medication.

Dr Williamson was attending the Australian Society for Infectious Diseases conference being held in Auckland on Wednesday, 18th March, 2015, where she was to present her research findings on the alarming effects of overuse of antibiotics.

She is reported as saying that, because of resistance to antibiotics, common infections and injuries could ‘once again kill’.

The link of Fusidic acid antibiotic to the new superbug should be an easy lesson for people to absorb: The example of Fusidic acid will not be an isolated one.

ANY antibiotic, such as those given for simple infections, or immunizations, or vaccinations, could actually cause other types of untreatable viruses and bacterial infections to arise. This has been the argument for many years of those promoting the safer alternatives to vaccination.

Over the last two or three years there have been many cases reported where antibiotics have proved ineffective and useless for treating serious epidemics. Modern illnesses are just not responding to conventional antibiotic treatments as they used to.

Ebola is the most frightening of these untreatable-by-antibiotics diseases. But there are others which also pose a threat to human life:

Swine Flu was a big scare three years ago. No antibiotic would work to cure the disease, but still the hospitals in Australia and New Zealand were reluctant to use Vitamin C intravenous therapy, despite there being much research to show that Vitamin C therapy would work, if given early enough.

Even though life-support had been removed from a patient dying from Swine Flu at an Auckland hospital, doctors still refused point blank to allow the family to organize intravenous injections of Vitamin C.

The reason for the ban on Vitamin C? Because the drug companies are worried it might be better than their orthodox drugs, and so they take great pains to disallow Vitamin C therapy in our hospitals.

The reality was that, in several hospitals here in NZ and Australia, hospitals would rather let their patients die, rather than give them the chance with Vitamin C.

This Swine Flu victim at the Auckland hospital was very fortunate that he had an assertive family who insisted that Vitamin C intravenous injections be given. They threatened to sue the hospital if the man died before Vitamin C was administered.

And so, very luckily, he was given megadoses of Vitamin C and survived to tell the tale.

There are people the world over who keep excellent health through alternative medicine. They do without vaccinations or antibiotics and use Homeopathy, or Herbs, or Vitamin C instead. There are many tried and true alternatives to conventional medicines which can cure or prevent threatening viruses or infections.

Antibiotic Fucidic Acid Linked To New Strain Of MRSA Superbug

Health Without Vaccinations Or Antibiotics

Mother and Child: A Picture Of Perfect Health

Photo by Lachlan.

This is the picture of a child who has never had any vaccinations. And nor did his beautiful mother, who is pictured in this photo.

This is the picture of a second-generation no-vaccinations child. Unfortunately, the grandparents of the wee laddie in the photo both had lots of vaccinations throughout their childhoods, which means that this child’s immune system will have been weakened through the inherited effects of these vaccinations. But still – two generations without vaccinations is a pretty good start in this day and age.

Good nutrition and a happy life are the best ways to prevent disease, rather than relying on vaccinations, which many of us believe do more harm than good in the long run. Of course, it is a wonderful thing to have antibiotics to use in an emergency, when other measures have failed. However, my view was that it was best to not vaccinate my children, unless it was absolutely necessary. Instead, I learnt the art of natural healing, using homeopathy and vitamin therapy as my main antidotes to any infectious diseases which were doing the rounds.

Homeopathy For Children’s Illnesses: Homeopathic medicine proved to be thoroughly effective in treating the common childhood infectious diseases, such as whooping cough, croup, measles, chicken pox, and mumps.

We did not even use tetanus injections. Instead, I used homeopathic Ledum as an antidote to tetanus. One can never prove that the Ledum did actually work in preventing tetanus, because you use the Ledum as a preventative, before the thing strikes. How can you prove that this medicine works, if you prevent the disease from happening? At least the homeopathic prophylactic for tetanus did not actually give us the tetanus disease:

Some writers claim that the tetanus antibiotic shot does not actually work, because some people who have been given the shot have developed tetanus afterwards. The tetanus shot could even have CAUSED these cases of tetanus, in the same way that the flu vaccine can cause a flu infection in some people. Many believe that the reason people do not get tetanus very often these days is because the disease is in a natural lull of its cycle, not because of the presumed efficacy of the tetanus shot.

There are some very good homeopathic remedies for treating all illnesses, even serious ones such as tetanus and scarlet fever. Ledum is considered one of the best for tetanus, and homeopathic belladonna one of the best for preventing or treating scarlet fever.

If a good diet is followed, with a healthy life-style, then usually Homeopathic remedies, herbs, and vitamins will do the trick in combatting any illness which your child might succumb to.

Of course, it is always best to see your doctor or health professional in the case of childhood illnesses. But while you are on the way to the doctor, there is no harm at all from giving your child the homeopathic remedy which most suits the condition. On many an occasion, when this happened in my own family, the illness had almost disappeared by the time we had gotten to the doctor or the hospital. Great to have these professionals there to help if necessary, but in many cases, these illnesses will respond to homeopathy and vitamins if you begin treating them right away, making antibiotics unnecessary.

People who use homeopathy, herbs, vitamins and nutrition instead of resorting to standard pharmaceutical preparations such as antibiotics and vaccinations, generally have a higher IQ than people who take all the standard vaccinations. Antibiotics in vaccinations help to dull the mind as well as the immune system, in my opinion.

Useful Homeopathic Remedies For Measles

Childhood Illnesses And How Homeopathy Can Be Used As An Alternative To Vaccination or Immunization.

It is worth keeping in mind that vaccinations do not always work. Some common childhood illnesses have developed strains which are resistant to vaccination antibiotics. And sometimes complications can arise from vaccinations or immunizations as they are called.

I stopped having my children vaccinated after I witnessed my first-born child suffering dreadfully because of vaccination/immunization injections.

Unhappily, I agreed to the first standard vaccination at 3 months old, after which his skin became reddened and blotchy, his little body swelled slightly, and he cried all the time because of digestion troubles. These symptoms took several weeks to subside.

He had returned to a normal sleeping pattern, the swelling gone down, and the crying stopped, by the time the plunket nurse came around to our country home to give him the second shot at only 6 months old. She had insisted that there was no other way to protect my child, other than to vaccinate, and that being in the country we needed to do this very urgently. Again, sensing that this was NOT the right way to go about protecting my child’s health, I let her in to give my bub his second shot. Same thing happened, only worse this time. It was obvious that he had stomach pains as a result of the injection. He swelled out as if he had water retention, and his skin became reddened again. He cried for long periods at night and his sleeping pattern was again disturbed. It took a longer period for his health to return to normal after the second dose of the immunization medicine.

So when the plunket nurse turned up at the door again, when my baby was 9 months old, I had made my mind up that no child of mine would ever be vaccinated again. My family, after that, had not even a tetanus injection. Instead of relying on these antibiotic vaccinations, I read and read and read as much as I could about homeopathy, vitamins, colour therapy, herbs, and natural diets. I also developed the use of the pendulum to help me select just the right homeopathic remedy for any suspected condition.

Mind you, it was always good to know that the hospital was available to us should anything go wrong. A couple of times, when my youngest son had a midnight attack of croup, or whooping cough, we set off for the hospital in the middle of the night. But we were spared the necessity of visiting the hospital after all: I had already given him homeopathic Drosera just before leaving home, with Vitamin D and A rich Halibut liver oil capsules, and these remedies suddenly did the trick as we drove along in the car, as we headed for the hospital. His breathing became as regular as any healthy child after 5 minutes or 10, and so we turned the car around and went home again.

Measles, Mumps and Chickenpox can all be treated effectively with homeopathy, if the right remedy is given. But because it can take some skill to choose the right remedy, I do not suggest that you simply decide not to vaccinate and hope for the best with your selections. You really need to have an experienced homeopath handy if you have no experience in using homeopathy. So – see your doctor, herbalist, naturopath or professional homeopath in the event of any childhood illness.

However, the following remedies, taken from Dr Stephenson’s book entitled ‘Helping yourself With Homeopathic Remedies’, may be used as guidelines to help you to learn more about homeopathy in the treatment of measles:

For measles with sudden fever use Aconite or Sulphur. You can start off with the Aconite, using a few drops of homeopathic Aconite every fifteen minutes for around 6 doses if the fever persists. As the fever subsides, you stop using the remedy, or perhaps give just one dose per day. Aconite, if used just for the first day or two, can be followed by homeopathic Sulphur, just one or two doses per day of the standard over-the-counter potency. I used to use the 6C, but the common potency these days is the 30C.

Homeopathic Sulphur, or Arsen alb, are useful remedies to use when the itching and burning sensation of the skin may be a problem. The itching may begin after a few days, so you could switch to homeopathic Sulphur, or Arsen alb, after the initial Aconite has begun to work.

Bryonia is a wonderful remedy for bronchial complaints, and this can be used if bronchial troubles set in as a complication of the measles. Drosera is another great one I would recommend for bronchial troubles, which actually isn’t mentioned in the list which Dr Stephenson gives. Don’t forget that Vitamin A to help overcome the infection. Vitamin A and D, found in Halibut Liver Oil capsules, is very good in combatting lung infections.For small children, I would bite the capsules open and squirt the contents into my babe’s mouth, swallowing the remains of the capsule myself. I sometimes used around 4 or 5 of these in one dose, repeating the same around an hour later if the infection persisted, and then no more. You can overdose on these vitamins if they are used for a prolonged period. So no more than two of these bigger doses, to be on the safe side.

Unicef Are Using Vitamin A as part of a measles prevention campaign in Syria. At last, Vitamin A has earned its place in orthodox medicine. It was always there, as physicians of old used to prescribe cod liver oil for everything. But drug companies, and modern trends to ignore the remedies of old, put Vitamin A in cod liver oil in the back of the cupboard. Now it is in the forefront again. Praise Be.

Homeopathy For New Strain Of Avian Flu When Vaccines Don’t Work

Homeopathic Medicine will win in the end. When Vaccinations no longer work, or prove to be too risky for the health of the individual, people will resort to the alternatives to vaccination and antibiotics – Homeopathic medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, Herbal medicines, and Vitamin C.

Two days ago, on the 29th August 2011, on New Zealand television news, we were told that a new strain of Avian Flu Virus has developed, and that this is threatening parts of Asia. It was announced on the news that this new strain is not responding to antibiotic treatment. Vaccines are in effect an antibiotic, so this statement which warned that the new strain is immune to antibiotics, means also that Vaccinations will not be effective in defeating this flu virus.

Powers greater than ourselves are at work, I am sure: The drug companies have been making a mint out of promoting their chemical prescription medicines for a long time now, and they have deliberately caused Homeopathy, Herbal medicine, and Vitamin C therapy to be ignored by doctors and the general public. Once these giant companies gained a stronghold of the market, and they saw their fortunes rising dramatically from the very profitable drug making industry, they have used their money and their influence to drive out any competitors. Exerting their power over the forces of marketing has resulted in the detriment of the real healing arts. But it looks as if their dictatorial control over medicines, many of which have proven to be harmful, might be coming to an end, thanks be to the ‘Divine Forces’, ‘Mother Nature’, or unseen forces.

Suddenly, viruses have developed which their pharmaceuticals and vaccines cannot cure. There is no alternative in such a scenario, but for the public to demand Homeopathic medicine, and Vitamin C instead. Homeopathic medicine is more than likely to be effective in the case of the new strain of Avian flu, as is Vitamin C, when given in megadoses.

Of course, it is essential that you visit a Homeopathic practitioner in the event of an epidemic. But better still – why not go to visit a registered and experienced Homeopathic practitioner now, so that you can prepare for the event of an epidemic. If you live in an at risk country, then you really should visit your Homeopath, because it is possible for PREVENTATIVES, or PROPHYLACTICS to be given for almost any illness, before the event arrives. These prophylactic homeopathic remedies will work similarly to a vaccine in that they will help to counteract the virus. A prophylactic homeopathic remedy may not completely immunize you against the flu virus, but it will most surely help your immune system to fight off the disease should it occur.

Meanwhile, arm your medicine cupboard with quantities of the preventative and cure for almost all illnesses – Vitamin C. I prefer the Calcium Ascorbate powder, as this is a non-acidic type of Vitamin C. Because it is non-acidic, it is possible to take large quantities of the calcium ascorbate vitamin C, whereas you might tolerate only small quantities of the acidic type of Vitamin C.

Vitamin C can be taken along with Homeopathic Medicine which has been prescribed specially for this flu virus. You would take the Vitamin C powder at a time when you were not taking the Homeopathic remedy. For example, you might take your homeopathic remedy in the morning at 8 AM. At 9, or 10 AM you might take the Vitamin C. At 11 or 12 oclock noon, you might take another dose of the Homeopathic remedy which was prescribed for you.

However, in the event of an illness, and there being no medicine around to help you, you need to have quantities of around 5 to 10 gms of Vitamin C, or Calcium Ascorbate – for one adult, for one day’s dosage. I have no idea what this new Avian flu is like, or how long the worst of the symptoms last, but I guess that you would need to have enough Vitamin C to last one adult for about a week. That would be anywhere between 35 gms to 70 gms per adult. You would give a quarter to a half of this dose to a child who had the illness. If you have a larger family, then I would procure a good quantity of Calcium Ascorbate so that nobody would miss out, if there was a need for it.

Your Homeopathic Physician can prescribe specific remedies which are stronger than those you can buy across the counter. He or she can also select the very best remedy, with consideration for your body type, your mental type, your age, and the disease which is expected to strike, so that the very best result can be achieved.

As a precaution, in case it might not be possible to visit a Homeopath, or Herbalist, or Ayurvedic or Chinese herbal practitioner, OR a doctor, you could invest in the following flu and infectious disease remedies, to keep in stock.

Dr John H. Clarke, a Homeopathic physician who wrote a book on Homeopathic Prescribing entitled “The Prescriber”, recommends the following for an epidemic of Influenza. At the time of writing his book, there was a strain called the ‘Russian or Siberian Influenza’ which was prevalent in Europe.

Dr Clarke says when there is a risk of infection from flu, or a threatening epidemic, then the prophylactic – preventative- homeopathic remedy to take is Ars. 3, pil. iii. 8h. Only a chemist, or a Homeopath from the old school, would know how to prepare this homeopathic preventative remedy. However, “Ars.” is an abbreviation used in Homeopathic medicine to describe Arsen alb., which is Arsenic. Of course this is in a homeopathic microdose, and so it is quite safe to take. You would never take arsenic in home made dilutions of any kind, except in the safe homeopathic preparation, which has been diluted many times, to a specific degree.

So – you could buy a bottle or two of Homeopathic Arsen alb. to keep in your medicine chest. You can buy the 30C dilution, and the 6C dilution at most health food stores. This remedy could prove to be very valuable in the event of a flu epidemic. You would take the 30C dilution of Arsen alb. once a day for two days, as soon as you hear that there is an epidemic about. I should think that this treatment would not be as good as the specific prophylactic Ars. remedy which Dr Clarke recommends, as shown above, but Arsen alb is a very potent medicine, and it could very well do the trick.

I have oftentimes used Arsen alb. in treating illnesses of various kinds, including treating a young pup who had contracted Parvo, a disease which is usually deadly to dogs. I also spoon-fed honey and water every hour or so to the pup. I eventually gave a dose of castor oil after several days, to detoxify the dog more quickly. This treatment of Ars. alb, and honey and water to prevent dehydration, culminating in a dose of castor oil, worked to cure the dog. Suddenly, he was ‘up and away’ again.

Another good Prophylactic Homeopathic Remedy for Influenza according to Dr Clarke the homeopath, is Bacillinum 30 and Influenzinum 30. He suggests taking “a dose of each taken together or as a combination remedy once a week during inluenza epidemics.”

Other Homeopathic Remedies for treating the Flu are: Bapt.; Eupatorium perf.; Glonium; Belladonna; Mercurius. sol.; Gelsemicum; Echinacea; Bryonia; Aconite; Sang.; Aviare; Camphor; Phytolacca. Aconite may be given in alternation with another chosen remedy.

The addition of Aconite to the treatment can be especially helpful at night, when there may be exceptional restlessness and sleeplessness. Aconite is a pain killer and a mild sedative, as well as being effective in treating some infectious diseases.
