The Thing That Wouldn't Die

The antibiotic-resistant strain was found last month in the urine of a 49-year-old Pennsylvania woman. [More]
One question: Has she always been from Pennsylvania?

Reports I saw claimed the women in question hadn't traveled outside the U.S. in the past few months. But as hers was alleged to be an urinary tract infection it raises several other issues in my mind. We have a lot of unscreened/untested/unvetted aliens entering our country daily. This raises the possibility of her sexual contact with one of these individuals as a vector. Or - worse IMO - poor personal hygiene combined with unsanitary behaviors of illegals led to this event.

If anybody you know gets one of these, so that the docs are throwing their hands up in despair, you need to know about the therapeutic use of silver.

A simple setup with a couple of pure silver coins or wires and a battery will make a serviceable preparation that will help prevent or treat any bacterial infection. Just use pure distilled water and let it run overnight, rather than try to speed things up by adding anything else to the water.

A family member who's in the medical profession is using it regularly so they don't catch anything while they're at work.

This knowledge and equipment should be part of each of our preps. Don't wait around for the professionals to acknowledge anything that's this cheap and simple -- and unprofitable for them.
