What is the best MRSA
treatment?
MRSA skin infections can fortunately be cured without the
use of antibiotics.
For minor MRSA wound infections, a treatment with
antibiotic ointments is prescribed.
Patients with a severe MRSA wound infection might need to take
vancomycin intravenously. Vancomycin is at the moment the
last chemical antibiotic that still seems to be able to fight MRSA and
cure the infection.
However, scientists are now afraid that even a treatment with
vancomycin will fail in the future. There is clearly a need for
alternative mrsa treatments, such as
“natural antibiotics”.
If a patient’s life is seriously threatened a treatment with
two different antibiotics will be needed.
Treating MRSA with a natural medication?
Nature itself developed powerful chemical defense mechanisms
against all kinds of infections over millions of years. Chemical defense
agents can be found in plants like the tea tree bush of
New
Zealand.
Active Manuka Honey is the honey that is collected from the tea
tree bush in
New Zealand.
When the bees collect their honey from the Manuka flower of the tea tree
bush they preserve a precious component: the Unique Manuka Factor
- often referred to as
UMF.

UMF
The antibacterial UMF is able to completely eliminate staph
aureus and mrsa bacteria in wounds. Therefore Active Manuka Honey is
considered a natural antibiotic: it has the strength of an
antibiotic without the side effects of antibiotics.
Due to unpleasant side effects, antibiotics can only be used for
a short time. Active Manuka Honey however has a long term treatment
option. It can be used safely and without side effects until the
infection is cleared.
In
New Zealand
doctors and hospitals successfully use Active Manuka Honey for their
patients’ wounds, burns and wound infections.
One of the biggest health problems today is the growing antibiotic
resistance of many bacteria. The reasons may differ. Generally
there are said to be three major reasons.

New
Medicine for MRSA?
Active Manuka Honey is often praised as the new medicine for
mrsa. Active Manuka Honey is not that new though: It has been
extensively researched at the Waikato University of New Zealand for over
20 years.
The UMF Activity in Manuka Honey has been described by Molan
and Russell (1998) and Allen (1991). The substance has so far not
been identified. Westen (1999) found that the activity was not
caused by the phenolics (including flavonoids) found in Manuka Honey.
Honey has been shown in laboratory studies to have antibacterial
activity against the 7 most common species of bacteria found in wounds.
