Re: Pinched nerve spine and inflammation

[Guest guest]

Sandy

The causes of many diagnosed spinal infections are from the staph

family of bacteria... Your nasal cultures are often the organisms

recoverable from your spine... why people do nasal cultures is

because if your a carrier your likely to self infect and spread the

disease. Unfortunately they want you to spike fevers when you often

are past spiking fevers cause of dehydration and your temperature is

alway's sitting too low.But a bad spine and possable infection sits

at 90% chance it's from the staph family.You also don't really get

strange results from most types of osteomyelitis.
