permaculture mrsa recap

your body is space

and some germ will always occupy that space

so pick the germs you want to be around...

permaculture…with that much contact with earth you need to know what happned the next year and why permacture log had only one entry…

germs do get into your blood...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is caused by a type of staph bacteria that's become resistant to many of the antibiotics used to treat ordinary staph infections.

cuz sooner or later… germs..good and bad get into your blood… your body is space..and that space will be occupied by a germ...so learn what kind of germs you want around you...is lifestyle..

After some research we implemented a protocol

which included eliminating vectors of transmission,

dietary and lifestyle changes,

probiotics and oregano oil as an internal supplement.

This protocol helped,

and may have eventually worked on its own,

however what stopped the infection in its tracks was an experimental technique that we developed based on how bacteria operate.

After each round of antibiotics since the first infection in 2013 I had taken probiotic pills to reestablish the bacteria that normally inhabit the digestive system.

Antibiotics wipe these out,

and there are a number of secondary symptoms that can occur as a result (candida infestation for example).

However these probiotic pills were only effective for rebuilding the bacteria in the gut,

it doesn't help with the bacteria of the skin.

Healthy skin is colonized by good bacteria which form our first line of defense. Killing it creates a vacuum. After months of heavy antibiotics I had totally wiped out my skin's ecosystem.

Once I realized this,

it dawned on me that I had to find a way to repopulate the good bacteria on the skin.

To do so I started by buying a bottle of wide spectrum probiotics in capsule form.

(You can get this at any good health food store, and you can even order it from Amazon.)

I then created a culture of this bacteria by emptying the contents of one capsule into a 1 quart jar of cooled black tea with 1 cup sugar. I then covered the jar with a cloth and set it in on a shelf. (This is based on the formula used for Kombucha and Kefir which contain many of the same strains of bacteria.) Within a few days we could see signs that the bacteria was colonizing the solution.

After being in contact with my daughter I had already developed several small pimples even though I was still taking tetracycline and rifampicin. So I dropped the antibiotics completely and we began applying the tea to our entire body after each shower. We would exit the shower without rinsing off the tea and dry off with a clean towel.

The effect was immediate. The pimples cleared up completely, in spite of the fact that I was re-exposed to staph several times. Cuts and scrapes no longer became infected by default. Normal cleaning and bandaging was enough to allow them to heal.

The dead cells on the surface of our skin is a food source for many types of bacteria. It is quite literally an ecosystem. One way or another that ecosystem is going to be occupied. Avoiding exposure to bad bacteria is impossible. Staph is everywhere, in fact 20% of the population carry it at all times. The only long term protection is to fill that niche with strains that are beneficial.

It's important to note, however, that the overall state of one's immune system is a critical variable. During this infection I experienced first hand the correlation between too little sleep, exhaustion, poor diet, and stress and the symptoms.

Unfortunately most doctors neglect to mention any of this. Most resort to antibiotics by default, and often prescribe them improperly or when they aren't needed at all. If all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
