- Are you aware that more than 60 percent of staph germs are resistant to drugs?
- Two million patients are infected in hospitals each year?
- Of those, more than 90,000 die?
Of every 20 people who go into a U.S. hospital, one of them picks up something extra: an infection. Infection stalls recovery, sometimes requiring weeks of intravenous antibiotics or a grueling round of surgeries to remove infected tissue.
A growing number of hospitals are working harder to stop infections, but as more bugs become resistant to antibiotics, it is getting pretty scarey out there. Did you realize that 2 million patients get a hospital-acquired infection every year? Appalling, but true.
Pennsylvania, the first state to provide infection data collected directly from its hospitals, reported that nearly 13 percent of patients who got infections died, compared with slightly more than 2 percent of patients who did not have infections.
Nationwide, hospital infections are the eighth-leading cause of death. Why is this happening, one may ask? I can give quite an exhausting list. Here are some horrifying episodes of nothing less than arrogance and carelessness, that I have personally observed this very year, 2010.
My husband was in the hospital, having surgery on his ankle that was smashed in an accident.
- In the ER room, his wounds were left open to the air…as an aid was sweeping around his bed, and putting the debris in the waste can at the end of the drape that was open, at the end of his bed. I had to remind her that his wound was open and dust does have a habit of flying around in the air.
- Only when I brought this incident to the attending doctor’s eyes did he make any attempt to do a thing about it.
- In the same ER room there was a laxity to changing his disposable pad under his foot that was bleeding, and totally soiling the pad. Several times I had to ask for another pad.
- In my husband’s room, after the surgery, a night nurse changed his soiled pads and “threw them onto the floor” instead of into the proper disposal that most bring into the room with them.
- Upon attempting to prepare his arm for an IV, without gloves on, and for the 3rd try, did the nurse go to have some one else do it for him. With all his squinting it was obvious the nurse needed glasses and was having problems because he could not see well enough.
- Upon using the toilet in my husband’s room, did I find urine all over the floor, where the nurse had obviously emptied my husband’s urinal but missed the toilet and left the mess without cleaning it up.
- On another occasion, I happened to be at a fast food place and noticed a doctor? with his scrubs still on, inside this fast food restaurant.
- Still another occasion, I am driving my car past a surgical center and notice a person with scrubs on and the little booties they wear, during surgeries….outside…..smoking!!
These are facts that I am sharing. They have nothing to do with antibiotics that are growing resistant to certain bugs. They are bugs that are being blatantly invited into the healing areas through sheer arrogant negligence, laziness, and lack of proper monitoring of those in charge.
So, you add all that to the fact that yes, these bugs are becoming resistant to the antibiotics, and you shake your head and say, “No wonder, so many people are dying of infections!” Hospitals are not what they used to be. They used to be healing centers and now they have become places to become infected with dreadful diseases.
Knowing this and observing what I have just mentioned, I began a search for a natural product that could still work to kill these germs. I am happy to say I have found a natural alternate route to combat these infections that we are seeing so frequently, that we only “whispered” about a while ago. Horrendously infectious diseases like MRSA and Staph infections (the causes of gangrene -that we have not heard so much about since the Revolutionary War days. Appalling?? Yes.
My reasons for creating this website is to help those who are coming across these dreadful infections, whether they have had actual surgeries or not. The shock of finding out that you are infected, and you cannot even think of how it could have happened, is becoming a household topic.
I have found “Board Certified Essential Oils,” that are showing the healing powers of Nature. Board Certified, means that they are monitored closely for potentcy and are uncut with other oils. Each of these oils is in it’s purest form and very potent. So potent that one needs to use only a drop at a time. So back to Nature we go…we never should have left….don’t we yet know, that Nature knows best, and always has?
