Superbugs ‘are all over– not just in hospitals’
POTENTIALLY fatal superbugs are not confined to hospitals but are now invading homes, schools and gyms, scientists claimed last night.
A report in New Scientist says the infections are now lurking “just about everywhere”.
Robert Daum, a paediatrician at the University of Chicago’s Children’s Hospital was one of the first to warn of “community MRSA” in 1998.
He told New Scientist, “Everywhere it has come it has stayed and it comes to more and more places every day.”
It is thought young people, gym users and those involved in contact sports or living in close proximity – such as in prison – are the most vulnerable to the infections.
Community MRSA is not thought to be simply an escapee from hospitals because it has certain distinguishing features and is actually more virulent.
It is however usually susceptible to certain antibiotics that no longer work on hospital MRSA, although experts believe this could soon change.
Robert Skov, head of the Danish Centre for Antimicrobials and Infection Control in Copenhagen, told the journal, “Once these community strains get into hospitals, I would be surprised if they don’t pick up more resistance determinants.”
Hospitals in Wales and England are already advised to screen people scheduled to undergo certain types of surgery for superbugs. But some doctors now want all patients, and possibly even people just visiting emergency rooms, to be screened for the infections as well.
Richard James, director of the centre for Healthcare Associated Infections in Nottingham, said this would save hospitals money in the long term.
But Dr Daum believes the infections are already too widespread in the US for screening to have any effect.
In Scandinavia, the battle against MRSA has already been taken to the community in a bid to halt the infection spreading, with nurses sent to people’s homes to treat carriers and educate them about hygiene.
Dr Skov said, “Every case of MRSA, regardless of whether it causes infection or is just colonisation, is a transmission possibility. That means we should fight MRSA in the community too. If you don’t then you will have a silent pool who are continuously spreading it to other people.”
Doctors also fear the increasing invulnerability of these superbug bacteria could put medicine back to how it was before the advent of antibiotics. This regression would mean humans once again becoming defenceless against common illnesses such as pneumonia, according to the article.

New Silver Solution
This isn't your grandma's silver!
Silver has been used for thousands of years to keep water and foods safe. In 1924 the first patent was issued for "colloidal" silver. Colloidal simply refers to a fine dispersion of silver into water that doesn't settle or filter easily. You are probably familiar with the term colloidal silver, but you can imagine the technology used to create such a product in 1924. Since then most commercial silvers feature silver dispersions in the range of 300 to 3,000 parts per million, resulting in admirable antibacterial results.
Today, however, the newly patented silver sol technology features an engineered nano particle of specific size and resonance whose catalytic properties allow a single silver particle to neutralize pathogens continuously. While the old, homemade colloidal silvers are capable of destroying one pathogen per silver particle, it takes hundreds of times more silver to do what the New Silver Solution technology can do in far less concentrations- and the New Silver is absolutely safe!
Because of the size, resonance, concentration and other factors associated with the new patent, additional and deeper health benefits can be expected.
The New Silver:
...Kills 99.9% of most bacteria, yeasts and molds within 10 minutes
...Continues to kill pathogens with catalytic, not chemical action
...Can be used internally, as well as topically
...Has multiple mechanisms of action to ensure its efficacy
...Is non-toxic and safe at recommended levels
Buy some to day and see for yourself:

The Secret of Growing Old--and healthy!!
I am a fan of Dr. Weil and his beliefs. If you would like additional information on the benefits of Okinawa and the Coral, listen to these videos:

What Is the Secret of Growing Old?
Your diet could add decades to your life
By Andrew Weil , Dr. Weil is clinical professor of medicine at the University of Arizona and director of its Program in Integrative Medicine.
I've read that people in Japan live much longer than Americans do. If that's true, what's their secret?
It's true, but only in Okinawa, a Japanese island state. There, 34 people out of 100,000 live to be 100 or older. By contrast, in America 10 people per 100,000 make it to membership in the Willard Scott birthday club.
These centenarians' secret? Lifestyle, lifestyle, lifestyle. Though genetics (which you can't change) may contribute to longevity, lifestyle factors (which you can change) can determine how well people age and even how long they live. As proof, consider this: Okinawans who migrate to other countries and abandon their lifestyle habits have higher mortality rates (especially from cardiovascular disease) than do those who remain in Okinawa. According to the Okinawan Centenarian Study, elder Okinawans have low rates of heart disease, obesity, dementia, and breast and prostate cancers. And they have the longest disability-free life expectancy in the world. To emulate their success, here are five secrets to longevity.
Eat Like an Okinawan Centenarian
The most vivid difference between the long-lived Okinawans and us is how--and what--they eat. Every day they eat seven or more servings of vegetables, including dark leafy greens, seaweed, onions, green peppers, bean sprouts, and sweet potatoes; seven or more servings of mostly whole grains; two to four servings of fruit; and two or more servings of soy foods. They also drink several cups of green tea daily. At least three times a week, they eat a serving of fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
In addition, Okinawa's elders don't eat many dairy products or sweets, and they shun fast, processed, and junk foods. Men drink an average of two alcoholic drinks a day; women may have one--usually the distilled rice liquor Awamori.
Try to Hara Hachi Bu
Translation: "Eat until you are 80 percent full." The elders who practice this are lean, a trait that reduces the risk of chronic diseases. To practice hara hachi bu, try eating about half the portion you usually consume. Then wait 20 minutes--the time it takes for your brain to register that you're full. If you're still hungry, eat a little bit more and then stop. After a few days, you may realize that you can feel full on less food.
Stay Active
Okinawan centenarians regularly walk, garden, perform martial arts, and do traditional Okinawan dance.
Connect
Deep spirituality and powerful cultural beliefs are especially evident among the women centenarians (who outlive the men by 8 years). Okinawan women believe that their gods and ancestors watch over them; they pray to them for their health and that of their families. Their prayers are often meditative, and they might repeatedly murmur words like these:
I am one with the ancestors The ancestors are one with the gods The gods are one with the universe The universe is one with me
Be Taygay
Translated as "laid back," taygay reflects the typical Okinawan personality, which is easygoing and relaxed. As the study authors note, "nothing ever starts on time" in Okinawa.

Who Is Watching Over You?
I received this today and had to share, we all need someone to watch over us!
Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of passage?
His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him
alone.
He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the
blindfold until the rays of the morning’s sun, shine through it. He
cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night, he is a
MAN.
He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must
come into manhood on his own.
The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild
beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might do him
harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat
stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he
could become a man!
Finally, after a horrific night, the sun appeared and he removed his
blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the
stump next to him. He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his
son from harm.
We, too, are never alone. Even when we don't know it, our Heavenly
Father is watching over us, sitting on the stump beside us. When trouble
comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him.
If you liked this story, pass it on. If not, you took off your blindfold
before dawn...
Work for the Lord - the pay isn't much but the retirement is out of this
world!!!

Labor Day, oops
Well I don't intend to be one of the Labor Day, work for a boss person!! I think the word labor went out the door with the new generation. People of my age, believed in working for your pay, we didn't go to work expecting to sit on our keyster, do nothing and get paid. We believed we were there to serve the public, knew how to count change and smile doing it!!
I decided when I moved to this small little town that I was going to have my own home based business. I tried many, spent way too much money and failed misserably, UNTIL I found http://www.BrightNewBeginning.com You too can join a team of real workers, those old-n-day types!! We still believe in helping, smiling and being a real team player.
Come join us, you will be welcomed with open arms!!

Oh, that dreaded "DIET" word...
I hope you are not like me and need to worry about everything you put into your mouth adding 5 extra pounds!! I hate diets, I love to eat!! I started a Water Arobics Class at the Recreation Center and have meet loads of great people, haven't seemed to loose those pounds but I have heard muscle weighs more than fat...well that is something!! Well enough rambling...if you need some help with weight lose, get back with me, I have natural products
Now for the tip of the day:
Make fitness a family affair. Take your kids or spouse on a walk after dinner. Round up the neighborhood kids for a spontaneous game of ball. There are plenty of things to do as a family that don't center around the television or the computer. Getting physical is a great way to bond. Not only are you spending quality time together, you're also burning calories in your spare time. Walking or horseplay with the kids for 20 minutes can burn 78 calories.
