Here's an interesting article on the use of vitamin B3 for staph infections.

I heard a program this past week on NPR about the superbug that hit NIH last year. They're saying it will take a decade to develop new antibiotics. This is pretty scary stuff. Since so many with bone marrow failure go to the NIH for treatment, you'll find this article interesting. The good thing is that they've been able to take care of it and have instituted some new protocols. Sadly, six people died from the anti-biotic resistant bug.

I found this article interesting, it's about how another bacteria plus our own immune system combines to fight S. aureus:

Interesting article Deb. It's such a delicate balance.

They had another article about abx resistant bugs in hospitals. They found for one of them, the "wild type" bugs without the resistance were genetically dominant. So adding those to the mix in hospitals would reduce the resistance. I find microbiology so interesting. Not so interesting being sick!!!

I've been reading about copper and its ability to kill germs. Changing out door handles, sinks, etc with copper can go a long way to stop the spread of infections.
Here's a recent article on it: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0907131538.htm

Really....I wonder why there are not more topical creams with copper for humans.

Well, if I was to guess, the horse copper stuff is green and stains everything, and it smells horrible. If you get it on your hands it takes awhile (days) to get it off. But I would think copper handrails and stuff would be a great idea.
