Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Yes. I find it surprising that you think that iodine of all things will kill MRSA? MRSA is not some lightweight bug here- it is called a SUPERBUG for a reason. -- Re: heart palpitations.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Actually, yes it does kill it, . You can ask my son, who could have lost his hand...

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Jeez. The article from: http://sciencelinks jp/j-east/article/200606/000020060606A0084390.php Was a study done on MICE- not humans and it used a MIXTURE of 70 percent SUGAR and only 3 percent betadine paste on SKIN ulcers. This still doesn't prove pure iodine can kill MRSA. You are 0 for 2, so far. The 3rd article : http://sciencelinks jp/j-east/article/200606/000020060606A0084390.php Was a study that did NOT use just iodine by itself and it did not state that MRSA was effectively killed in all 4 patients. All it did state that it was Suppressed. That is not the same as killing the bug. You do not want a MRSA stain JUST suppressed in you body, because it can come back, It used: The combination of vacuum-assisted closure with iodine-containing cadexomer ointment MAY therefore be effective for suppressing MRSA infection Cadexomer is a bead-shaped dextrin polymer that cannot be absorbed by hydrophilic polyurethane dressing material in vacuum-assisted closure. Cadexomer remains at the wound site and has water-absorbing activity, and is therefore considered effective for removing redundant interstitial fluid. (author abst.) The 4 th aricle: http://tinyurl.com/6atsh7 only showed that it : Conclusion: Gargling with povidone-iodine before oral intubation reduces the transport of bacteria into the trachea That does not mean that the MRSA was effectively killed. When they stated it reduces that means to me that it did not kill all the MRSA 100%. If they had concluded it effectively killed the MRSA then that would be a different story. But it DID NOT state that in their conclusion. Which again is NOT pure iodine- it is a combination product that has OTHER ingredients in the mixture. PLUS it was a very small study only 19 patients in that study. Technically you want a study that has at least 30 patients to be even considered that it could be replicated and that the results were reliable. Plus, the study was done on an unique subset of patients. That plays a HUGE factor in interpretation the results and generalizing then into the general population. The 5th article : http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN & cpsidt=1681471 again was NOT done on humans, but with PIGS . AND it did NOT use pure iodine It uses a iodine containing mixture of cadexomer. Sound familiar.. This what the article stated: CONCLUSIONS. The cadexomer iodine dressing significantly reduced MRSA and total bacteria in the wounds as compared to both the no treatment control and vehicle. No significant differences were observed in the number of bacteria recovered between the no treatment control and cadexomer (vehicle) treated wounds. Cadexomer iodine may be an effective agent for preventing proliferation of MRSA in wounds.It stated it MAY be effective. That certainty does NOT mean that it KILLS MRSA. For certain. Far from it. So, after all that you still haven't proven that pure iodine kills MRSA. So now you are 0 for 5. Nancie -- Re: heart palpitations.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Yes, I read and I stand by my statement. It is mind boggling that you can't understand that bacteria strains can change thru the decades for the worse. It is the same concept with the HIV strains. The strains that existed back in 1950's; 1960's; 1970's; 1980's 1990's are NOT the same strains that exist TODAY. The strains have mutated 100's of times so that the treatments back then DO not work either not at all or only work on a few strains. That is why we had to develop many new treatments because the virus is smarter then we are and keeps MUTATING. This same idea applies to the MRSA strains of today. The bug KEEPS MUTATING. -- Re: heart palpitations. Was: For Venizia > > > > I don't " believe " it works, I know it does, and it's not me, it's > all > > those darn medical books from years past...

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 -- Re: heart palpitations. Was: For Venizia This article DOESN'T deal with MRSA - it deals with regualar staph infection NOT THE SAME SPECIES AT ALL! http://jds.fass.org/cgi/content/full/86/11/3783 this article deals with DAIRY GOATS AND COWS and the treatment with Masitits NOT WITH MRSA! http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6902747/description.html this aricle again does NOT work with MRSA. it is talking about treating REGULAR staph infections- NOT MRSA! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12657188 this article iwas done in 1985 and again the strains of MRSA then are NOT the same as the strains today! http://jcm.asm.org/cgi/reprint/21/6/991.pdf So, you are again 0 for 4.
