CDC warning – “Outbreaks of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae!”

May 2, 2012, Dr. Arjun Srinivasan, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), warned about new outbreak during spring meeting of Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) in Florida. The issue is a highly drug-resistant pathogen that causes a growing cases of outbreaks in healthcare facilities, called Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae, also named as CRE. 

Enterobacteriaceae is a large group of gram-negative organisms that are common residents of the gastrointestinal tract. These organisms have been readily treatable with antibiotics, but over the last several years we have encountered a growing number of Enterobacteriaceae that are resistant to all of known antibiotics, including carbapenems. Historically, carbapenems had been our last line of defense in treating Enterobacteriaceae. So, the development of resistance to these last-line agents has been a significant problem in healthcare. Reliable studies have shown that the mortality rate from CRE infections can reach as high as 40%. Thus, CRE pose a major therapeutic dilemma in some facilities now http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/762961.

Additionally, CDC has seen that these organisms can spread very quickly in non-emergency healthcare facilities like ambulatory surgical and long-term care centers. 

CDC suggests carefully trace each patient when moving from one facility to another, and timely isolation of each CRE case.

AIHD comments: 

Keeping in mind 40% of mortality rate, it's unfortunate that allopathic medicine can’t help much their patients yet. However, there are some hopes. These are Oregano and Melaleuca essential oils. These oils successfully suppress other antibiotic resistant bacteria, like Staph, and MRSA. It could be applied topically or internally, but keep in mind - a protocol of their application has not been established yet, and should be adjusted. If your friend or relative succumb to CRE you may want to contact AIHD as soon as possible. Our phone is (908) 938-3145 and email info@amerihuma.com. 

Oregano – the pasta and pizza herb – is killing prostate cancer cells

This message I`ve found on the internet: 

“Oregano – the herb used in pasta and pizzas – kills prostate cancer cells .   The results are so exciting that researchers hope that the 'super herb' will become a standard treatment – and one without side effects.
Carvacrol, a constituent of oregano, is causing apoptosis – or cell death – in prostate cancer cells in laboratory tests being carried out by researchers from Long Island University.
Their results mirror earlier studies that had discovered that pizza seems to reduce cancer risk, but now the new research suggests why it has such a positive effect. Initially, researchers believed that lycopene, which is found in the tomato sauce covering on pizzas, had anti-cancer qualities.  The Long Island researchers say that oregano and lycopene could be working synergistically to kill cancer cells. What is clear is no damaging side effects as the current therapies of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. (Source: The Experimental Biology 2012 conference, April 24, 2012)."

 Wow, What`s a relief! I love pizza very much and every my visit to New York City I take it two-three slices at least, which, everybody knows, is better in NYC then in Italy! 

However, I have a question to the researches from LI University (I didn’t find the proceeding of this conference yet): How much pizza one should eat, and how much weight he could gain, to defeat a prostate cancer? 

 I think here we can clearly see a deficiency in MD education in the United States. Essential Oils course is mandatory In France Medical schools, optional in UK, and prohibited in US. Otherwise, LIU searches could open a guide a “Modern Essentials, A contemporary guide”, 3^rd edition; page 63, and find in Chemical constituents for Oregano: carvacrol(<75%). On the next page one may find that Oregano oil also inhibits MRSA, kills STAF, E-coli, and other bacteria. Its antifungal and antiviral properties are also well-known. 

So, for all men, suffering from prostate cancer, in addition to “Pizza therapy”, I would suggest to use the essential oil therapy. Oregano could be administered topically or internally (in capsules), and could be complemented with Frankincense oil, which also possesses strong anticancer properties. Wild Orange and Grapefruit essential oils could be source of Lycopene.   If you need more information about Oregano and other essential oils feel free contact AIHD office at (908) 938-3145, or by mail info@amerihuma.com.
