Information
Our mission is to reduce the spread of bacteria in the
community. We are trying to educate and helping you to understand
why certain symptoms occur when your child is ill. Visiting doctors and nurses (walk-in clinic)
expecting a course of antibiotics for trivial reasons must end.
You have heard of super-bugs, C Diff, E Coli, MRSA & CA-MRSA now
we have highly drug-resistant germ has become a common cause
of
meningitis,
pneumonia and other
life-threatening conditions in young children. New strain of "Pneumococci
Serotype 19A" - can conquer almost
all
antibiotics in
paediatrics, and has dodged a
vaccine otherwise credited with causing the number of serious
infections in children to plummet.
Bacterial co-infections boosting child flu
deaths: The deaths were very rapid: 45% of the children
died within 72 hours of their first symptoms and 75% died within a
week, while 43% died either at home or in an emergency room.
Please avoid visiting hospitals with symptoms like cough, cold &
flu, as your doctor. Viral infections reduce immunity and increase
the chances of getting bacterial infections.

Bacteria
Antibiotics paved the way for doctors to
develop new technologies (IVF, plastic surgery, hip replacement,
minimally invasive surgery, stents, total parentral nutrition's,
transplant surgery and cardiac surgery). Now the very technology is threatening our existence
in this universe.
Some common bacterial infections you are familiar have now rapidly
become killer infections. The problem for you is to know when you
need to seek help. These bacteria are resistant to most antibiotics,
so what can you do?
Sudden Infant Sudden Death Syndrome (SIDS)
well known as cot death, is said to be linked to MRSA
infection. The research, published in Archives of Disease in
Childhood, found samples from babies who had died for no apparent
reason often carried Staphylococcus aureus, a particularly virulent
bacteria better known for the MRSA strain in which it becomes
resistant to the antibiotic methicillin.
Bacterial infections rarely cause very high temperature. They
release toxins which will dilate blood vessels and make you feel
cold.....

Our irrational fear of bacteria and the overuse of antibiotics is
making matter worse. Triclosan, an antibacterial agent present in
soaps, acne cleansers, deodorants, toothpastes, shaving creams,
mouthwashes and cleaning supplies. Triclosan is infused in a number
of consumer products such as kitchen utensils, toys, bedding, socks
and trash bags. It's everywhere because we're terrified of bacteria.
Few bacteria are harmful but most perform a wide range of useful
functions and not there to kill us. They help us ferment and absorb
carbohydrates, enhance the absorption and storage of lipids, produce
and absorb vitamins and other nutrients, prevent harmful bacteria
from colonizing the gut. So yes, we should be wary of bacteria like
MRSA, but we should also recognize and appreciate the benefits that
bacteria confer. We simply don't trust our own immune systems to
function properly. Some doctors have made us all hypochondriacs we
panic at the first sign of trouble.

Common symptoms are useful for you to understand your illness
better. The information we hope will reduce people accessing emergency service in hospital
and visiting doctors in their clinic or surgery.
Virus infections are known to reduce immunity and prone to increase
secondary bacterial infections. We must avoid coming in contact with
these antibiotic resistant bacteria and so must try and keep away
from hospitals and clinics.
Best way you could reduce the risk of this infection is to take care
of yourself and practice strict hand washing technique. Alcohol gel
and antiseptic hand creams and gels will give you false sense of
security and is said to increase spreading CA-MRSA .

New threat as they are now resistant to various pesticides and

Understanding common disease and know what you need to do will
help you re-assure yourself and reduce visiting doctors in their
surgery and clinic.
Most people are made to believe disease as a major cause of death
and doctors will cure these disease. I may be wrong but have not
seen any treatment that could cure a disease except antibiotics.
Unfortunately, we have now lost The treatment that cured
"Penicillin".
After a few incidents of suspected MRSA -a staph infection
resistant to many antibiotics - in local schools last year.
Dangerous methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
bacteria was launched this week by the U.S. Centres for Disease
Control and Prevention.
