Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 While it's pleasing to note that MRSA is achieving the attention it deserves, it unfortunately has not, as yet, created sufficient media panic as it should. Hygiene in hospitals, and the like, seems to be the main problem of spreading the infection which you would think could be easily contained. Unfortunately, continual short staffing of hospitals in Australian hospitals and this is not just within the public arena but private as well, contributes in respect to the time line in treating a patient. MRSA and other superbugs that are continuing to develop and evolve and could well be a larger problem than HIV/Aids if ignored as it appears to be at the moment. It amazes me that as antibiotics are more and more failing the system that Rife's work is not looked at more seriously. The discovery of peniccilin and the huge profits that eminated from the discovery of even more effective antibiotics, I believe, caused the work in frequency therapy to be put to one side. The ongoing work of Jeff, Jim and could well hold the future toward overcoming this fast growing problem.
