One of my oldest friends was hospitalized yesterday with a staph infection and tests came back positive today that it’s not just staph but the dreaded hoss-daddy staph infection – MRSA.

I was talking to another friend about MRSA in general and he was under the impression that it just couldn’t be treated but that’s not true.

I wanted to share with everyone exactly what MRSA is and how to stop it in your home before someone gets sick. You can actually be a carrier of MRSA and not know it.

MRSA is an acronyn for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and it is a type of Staph bacteria. This particular type of Staph is found both on the skin and in the noses of humans and is resistant to most conventional antibiotics.

As of 2008, an average of 90,000 Americans will get diagnosed with MRSA infections every year and and in 2005 alone, nearly 19,000 Americans died from MRSA infections.

There are two main types of MRSA.

You have probably heard about Healthcare-Associated (HA-MRSA), which occurs in hospitals and nursing homes, but a newer type of MRSA is Community-Associated (CA-MRSA), which has recently begun to spread in public settings like gyms, locker rooms, households and schools.

Some people can be carriers of MRSA and will not show any symptoms. These people can transmit the MRSA bacteria to others and the transmission is easy. Skin to skin contact, contaminating items by wiping their noses and then touching an item can transmit MRSA to others.

Preventing MRSA

If you’re in an environment where MRSA is a possibility, wash up! Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water and wash for at least 15 seconds. Antibacterial hand sanitizers are also beneficial.

Make a mixture of bleach and water (one tablespoon Clorox to one quart water) and put it in a spray bottle. Wipe down any surfaces such as tiled or basin areas. Use paper towels and dispose of them after using to avoid cross contamination and transferring MRSA from one place to another.

If you have any open sores/wounds – cover them with a clean, dry bandage until healed.

Never share items such as towels, razors, loofahs or any items that come into contact with your bare skin.

MRSA can start off deceptive and look like an innocent rash or spider bite. The infection becomes warm, painful and swollen and will often have red streaks – the hallmark of a Staph infection.

If you or anyone you know has a similar rash or wound, especially if it is slow to heal – have it checked by a medical professional as soon as possible as there are treatments for both Staph and MRSA that give excellent results if caught early in the development. The longer the MRSA progresses, the more difficult it is to treat.

I ran across 2 things that will be of interest to anyone wanting to know more about MRSA/staph or treat staph boils.

Natural Home Remedy Treatment for MRSA

I found a really interesting online guide where 7 MRSA survivors tell their stories about how they treated their MRSA using natural, alternative methods.  Since I love holistic treatment methods, I really enjoyed the information in this guide.

[update] We’ve had so many people asking about this guide – we finally devoted an entire page to it and you can see it here MRSA Natural Home Remedy.

Treating and Preventing Boils Naturally

Also if you suffer from boils on a regular basis, you have staph in your body and you CAN fight it naturally – I gotta recommend BOILX as the top way to do it – check it out here Boilx – get rid of staph boils now!

Use these steps to stop the spread of MRSA in your home and stay healthy everyone!

I have really been getting into making my own soaps. A friend of mine came up with a really cool way to entice her little ones to lather up and wash before meals. You’ve never seen kids so motivated to keep their hands and faces clean.

Her secret? When she makes soaps, she puts really funny stuff in the clear glycerine soaps she makes. Like a small rubber rat (the kids are insane for this one), a black widow spider ring (from Michael’s Halloween Closeout Sale) and other oddities.

You can make your own soaps for different purposes, washing the dog, some people make “shampoo soaps” for little kids to wash their hair with, others make mild soaps for babies as gifts for moms-to-be. The ideas for soap making can be limitless.

It inspired me to start really making my own bar soaps again but it’s been a few years so I needed a refresher. I went through my books and realized – I really wanted a video to show me the ropes.

Found a great “How to Make Soap” video here – it literally shows EVERYTHING you need to know.

I get at least 3 emails a week from people asking about eczema home remedy treatments. The good news is that you really can treat nearly all eczema through natural home methods.

Eczema isn’t a chronic disease that you “just have to learn to live with” it’s a condition that can be more than controlled through some management methods that include boosting your immune system by adding certain foods to your diet, learning the factors that may be causing eczema flare ups in your home and also other factors that may be contributing to your eczema outbreaks.

I have a cool eczema info page with some home remedy tips for controlling your eczema. My own daughter went through this and we went through years of gloppy white creams, oral medications for eczema and nothing worked – until we learned to manage her eczema home remedy style!

Did you know you can use the same natural home remedy to treat heartburn (or acid reflux) that’s occuring in your kids as well as your dog and you can use exactly the same home remedy?

Studies show about 50% of infants will experience heartburn and it’s heartbreaking to watch your baby “feelin’ the burn” and nothing seems to calm it down.

My daughter (who is now a very grown-up 16-year old) had it as a baby and my son who is now 4-years old struggled with it during his early months.  I tried a lot of home cures from treating my own chronic heartburn that seemed to just come and go no matter what I ate or drank.

I literally stumbled onto the “Reflux Remedy” and if you haven’t checked out this home remedy guide – I highly recommend it – you can stop heartburn in yourself, your kids and even your dog using the same home remedy and it just makes use of items you most likely already have in your kitchen cupboards – best of all – relief happens in 90-seconds or less. 

After reading the guide online – it seriously took me longer to read how to mix up the ingredients to cure heartburn/GERD/Acid Reflux than to actually stop the burn!

If you have heartburn or know someone (even furry friends) that does – please refer them to the Reflux Remedy ASAP.

I have had heartburn since I was a little kid. My family didn’t eat a particularly spicy diet – I just always seemed to be crying from the fire raging in my throat. My mom’s big fix was to have me drink copious amounts of milk and eat bananas and apples. It worked to put out the immediate burning sensation but never for long.

I just kinda thought it was something I’d always have to live with – however I found a cool home remedy guide on that addresses heartburn in adults, children, infants and even dogs. This home remedy is safe for pregnant women (you have no idea how much I would have loved that – I was convinced I was pregnant with a small flame all three times from the constant heartburn I suffered).
