MRSA infections - how can you identify the souce in a child when there were no open wounds or cuts.?

Question

Previously a doctor told us my grandson had a blood disorder abnormality. After a bone scan he was referred to an infectious disease doctor who ordered an MRI prior to ever seeing him because he had been fighting pneumonia for a month. Thank God because the MRI showed he had a tibial abscess and he was rushed into surgery. When they performed the surgery there was live bacateria growing so they were able to identify it as MRSA. He's 7 and has two siblings. The entire house has to be decolonized; he will receive antibiotics for 6-8 wks via an IV.

Answer 1

Respiratory MRSA is airborn and does not require an open wound, it is inhaled through the respiratory tract. Once the bacteria is in the body, it can spread to other areas, which is what appears to have happened here. This is a staphalococcal infection that is drug resistant, making it harder to treat since the usual antibiotics are no longer effective. In your grandson's case, it is even harder, since there are few drugs that cross over into the bone and spinal fluids, and those that do require very high doses to get enough of the drug into those areas to be effective. It may take even longer than 6-8 weeks to cure this infection, depending on the overall health of your grandson and the response to the drugs used. Often it will take several months of treatment before the infection is gone, and sometimes it will colonize in the body and never be gone, but the symptoms may be controlled. When it colonizes, the active infection can recur in times of stress or compromised health

Answer 2

This is probably related to blood disorders and has been ingested in some form from daily foods, water, etc. The child could have had a canker sore in his mouth, or caught it in the school that he attends. That is where most childhood disease comes from.

There is hope. Consider for him, a Macrobiotic diet. There are many stories of people who have been cured of many diseases, one of which I have personally experienced. My girlfriend had breast cancer, went on the Macrobiotic diet, and within 6 mos, she was cancer free. I went on it with her, since it's always easier to follow a new regimen if someone does it with you and I had some amazing stuff happen to me. Within 3 days, my thumb which had hurt me for over 3 years, stopped hurting. My eyesight improved dramatically, to the point that I had to buy new glasses because I couldn't see anything out of the other ones! And at least 10 other things. It's a great diet because it cleanses the blood, where most diseases start.

You would need to see a Macrobiotic counselor which can be expensive, however, they would give a diet that he should follow. The diet is based on whole grains, no meat, some fish and fresh vegetables and cooked foods. I don't know your financial history, nor should I, however, if you can afford to do this, it would enhance everyone's life and help to heal their bodies should you find MRSA in any of the other family members. There is a website for macrobiotics that is called the Kushi Institute. I wish you lots of success in this. Remember, bacteria and Viruses grow in an acidic base, so if your body becomes alkaline, then no bacteria or viral beasties can survive in the body. I haven't been sick, even with a cold, for over 3 years now.
