Solution to Killer Superbug Found in Norway

December 31, 2009 AP

OSLO, Norway – Aker University Hospital is a dingy place to heal. The floors are streaked and scratched. A light layer of dust coats the blood pressure monitors. A faint stench of urine and bleach wafts from a pile of soiled bedsheets dropped in a corner.

Look closer, however, at a microscopic level, and this place is pristine. There is no sign of a dangerous and contagious staph infection that killed tens of thousands of patients in the most sophisticated hospitals of Europe, North America and Asia this year, soaring virtually unchecked.
The reason:

Norwegians stopped taking so many drugs.

Twenty-five years ago, Norwegians were also losing their lives to this bacteria. But Norway’s public health system fought back with an aggressive program that made it the most infection-free country in the world. A key part of that program was cutting back severely on the use of antibiotics.

Now a spate of new studies from around the world prove that Norway’s model can be replicated with extraordinary success, and public health experts are saying these deaths – 19,000 in the U.S. each year alone, more than from AIDS – are unnecessary.

Comments:

Looks like the Norwegians have the answer. Here in the US we have way too much antibiotic usage. Instead of looking at vaccines and antibiotics we must start looking at Probiotics such as Shaklee Optiflora a pre and probiotic system plus their natural immune regulating product called Nutriferon plus make sure we have adequate Vitamin D as a treatment to prevent and treat infectious diseases. The CDC reported that many of the children and who died from the swine flu actually died from pneumonia some from a MRSA pneumonia.
