My brother in law's uncle just got it from a tiny scratch on his leg that he got at the beach (disgusting Galveston beach).

They had to amputate his leg. Horrible.

My Aunt's brother in law (different person) died when he got it from a tiny scratch he got from his car.

Is there anything that will keep you from getting it? Is there any way to treat it?

MRSA is one that people can get while in a hospital.
Sounds like these folks may have had Cellulitis - very serious and not to
fool around with. A friend of mine has had it numerous times; once it gets in
the system, it keeps coming back. The only thing that has ever helped her is
a constant dose of Antibiotics. Now she take penicillin on an every other day basis.

but aren't some flesh eating bacteria resistant to penicillin?

MRSA is only one of the bacteria causing these symtoms. My best advice is to say out of the water in Galveston and most ALL beaches in the US.

All wounds, even minor should be treated with Lugol's iodine. dilute 5% lugol's about 50/50 for open wounds.

Its pretty rare. If I got it I would be chugging the mms and applying lugols iodine topically and taking it orally.

A similar disease pyroderma grangrenosa, is documented to be curable with large doseas of lugol's iodine. Studies have been done, meanwhile I've had several patients in hospital who have died from it and their failing anti-inflammatory medicines. They can't find the pathogen so they assume none exist and hence it is classified as an autoimmune disease, the fools.

what is mms?

I think the main reason most people are not resistant to infection is generally low vitamin D status.

This paper will help you understand how vitamin D in skin responds to infection.
The vitamin D pathway: a new target for control of the skin’s immune response?

But of course for the immune system to kick into action with sufficient power and with the ability to control it's pro and anti inflammatory roles you need a reserve of D3 in your body available for use as required. This is why we need a 25(OH)D level around 60ng/ml or certainly above 50ng/ml. It's only between 40~50ng/ml we see the stored reserve of D3 in muscle and fat cells increasing. Circulating Vitamin D3 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D in Humans

By chance this is in todays updates.
Vitamin D Status Relative to Diet, Lifestyle, Injury and Illness in College Athletes.
The average USA adult only ever at best (end of summer 30ng/ml has about half that amount but mostly we run about 15~25ng/ml .

If you drove your car with tyres inflated at 25%~ 50% the manufacturer's original specifications you'd have more accidents and incidents. Only morons drive with under inflated tyres, yet very few people bother to check and correct 25(OH)D status.[/quote]

Vitamin D Induces Innate Antibacterial Responses
40ng/ml isn't a sensible option for optimal status as at that level there are NO STORED RESERVES OF VITAMIN D3.
It's a bit like trying to go to war without any reserves of ammunition to sustain any offensive action. If every time you were attacked you had to wait while you made some new ammunition before you could respond the enemy would always have the advantage.
Why is it sensible to only have sufficient vitamin D3 available to just cover your daily needs?
Surely health professionals should be promoting 25(OH)D levels associated with least chronic illness not trying to make people ever more dependent on medical drug interventions?

we also have a subforum for mms here, under alternative therapies.

Colloidal silver, colloidal silver, and colloidal silver.

Internally as well as externally.

so its basically calcium hypochlorite?

does anyone here take calcium hypochlorite?

or should I call it MMS1 and MMS2?

MMS1 is sodium chlorite
MMS2 is calcium hypochlorite

Quite a few people here have used MM1 and a few have used MMS2

see the subforum under alternative therapies

are you just a fan of this product or you advertising for them?
and do you work for them?

I am a big fan of this product (nutrisilver) and I promote it quite a bit. I do not work for the company but have watched the company in its marketing efforts for about 4 or 5 years now and have talked with the main distributor several times on the phone over the years. I think there is integrity there along with an excellent and powerful product.

sounds good. I've been looking for a good collodial silver product. I hope they carry this at vitamin shoppe.
