What Is Holistic MRSA Treatment?

Introduction to article : MRSA is an infection which is caused by the Staph aureus bacteria. What sets this form of staph apart from others is its immunity to most of the antibiotic drugs which are commonly used to treat staph. Because of this, MRSA can be fatal if not detect early. Even though this disease has a immunity, there are several ways it can be processed, accepting with a holistic approach.

Garlic has long been used as an antibiotic and for immune system health. Garlic has a component called allicin which is a general antibiotic and is effective against several different diseases and conditons. In order for garlic to be efficient against MRSA, it must be particularly processed as normal garlic processing makes it lose its anti-bacterial properties. If you are taking an anti-coagulant, you must speak to your physician before starting therapy as garlic can stop blood from clotting. Likewise, if you are allergic to garlic, you may want to consider another form of treatment.


Manuka is honey which is produced by bees gathering nectar from the manuka bush. While regular honey does have the power to help with bacteria, manuka has some extra benefits for patients of this dangerous disease. This type of honey has non-hydrogen peroxide antibacterial components so it is unaffected by any natural body processes which work to demolish hydrogen peroxide, making it more efficient for handling hurts. It has also been found to be highly effective against antibiotic resistant strains of diseases like MRSA. It does not lose potency when it is diluted. It is unaffected by heat and light and does not need oxygen to begin the healing process. At Last, this honey can diffuse deeply into tissue which will help it to get into areas which other topical solutions can't reach.

Essential oils are extracted from plants and are composed of hundreds of antifungal, antiviral, and antimicrobial elements. Because of the huge assortment of chemicals in these oils, bacteria have a hard time becoming immune to them, making them perfect for processing a disease like MRSA infection. These oils can be very potent and should only be used under the proper circumstances. In Front treating yourself with oils, talk to your doctor to find out which ones you should use and how much of them to take. The vast majority of these oils are used for aromatherapy and are not appropriate for use in this manner.

What Is Cubicin?

From yesterday fresh news are circulating in medical world. New antibiotic for battle against MRSA "Cubicin 2-minute IV antibiotic" is approved by FDA and because of that I'll try to give description of this antibiotic.
Cubicin is an antibiotic that fights bacteria in the body. Mainly is used to treat bacterial infections of the skin and underlying tissues.Cubicin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.Cubicin infusion contains the active ingredient daptomycin, which is a medicine used to treat infections with bacteria, in particular Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Daptomycin(cubicin)  is a new type of antibiotic known as a lipopeptide antibiotic. It can only be used to treat infections with a specific sub-group of bacteria called Gram positive bacteria.
Cubicin works by binding to the cell membranes of Gram positive bacteria, causing them to lose potassium. This causes a reaction that rapidly stops the bacteria making proteins and genetic material that they need to survive and multiply. This kills the bacteria and treats the infection.
Cubicin has a different mechanism of action to all the other classes of antibiotics. This means it can be used to treat Gram positive bacterial infections that are resistant to other antibiotics. An example of this is infection with the "superbug" MRSA Staph Infection (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus). Such bacterial infections have become more common, particularly in hospitals, due to increasing resistance of bacteria to antibiotic treatment. As cubicin works in a different way to other antibiotics, it may provide doctors with a new line of attack for these types of infections. Other types of antibiotics may be used at the same time as treatment, if necessary. To make sure the bacteria causing an infection are susceptible to daptomycin your doctor may take a tissue sample, for example a swab from the skin, or a blood sample.
Until today,cubicin is given by a drip into a vein (intravenous infusion) over 30 minutes. Yesterday FDA approved new Cubicin 2-minute IV antibiotic against MRSA and similar diseases and that is good news for all who fight against this very serious diseases.
