The 60 minutes special last night on MRSA was pretty insightful, but the one physician didn''t seem to think that MRSA lives on inanimate objects and surfaces. However, it does appear (according to the CDC and others) that MRSA does live on surfaces which necessitates the use of disinfectants. Vital Oxide is one of the best environmentally friendly disinfectants on the market which kills MRSA on school and hospital surfaces. See www.vitaloxide.com for more info.

The link to the free report on Protecting Your Child from MRSA didn''t format properly.

The program was positive in that it shot down the oversimplistic idea that cleaning and handwashing are all that are necessary to stopping the spread of MRSA.

Of course, vaccines aren''t the answer either. As many commentors have noted, immune system health is the key.

For a free report on how to protect your child from MRSA, please see A HREF="http://MRSAstaph.org" MRSA Staph Guide /A

The 60 minutes coverage failed to capture the essence of the enormous risk posed by the continuing evolution of MRSA bacteria. There are two distinct categories of MRSA. Patients with preexisting illnesses are susceptible to a form of MRSA that is generally of little concern to healthy individuals. These MRSA have become resistant to many antibiotics and have significantly added to hospital mortality rates. Distinct from these MRSA is the growing presence of toxic strains that can inactivate the body%u2019s major antibacterial defenses and can cause severe illness in previously healthy individuals. These toxic MRSA will inevitably become antibiotic resistant. A MRSA eradication program aimed at eliminating MRSA within both the community and hospital settings is long overdue. The key to eradication is surveillance. Inexpensive MRSA Testing Plates are available that can allow individuals to screen schools, workplaces, recreational facilities and other locations for MRSA. Owners of contaminated facilities can then decide whether to institute an infection control program or risk possible legal liability. For additional information please refer to www.s3support.com W.

---WAIT A MINUTE: MRSA CAN BE ERADICATED---

Tommy Thompson, Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (2001-2004) says MRSA can be eradicated. Not many are more credible or in a better position to know that than he is.

Per PURE Bioscience, and Secretary Thompson, "recent news reports%u2026INCORRECTLY STATE that there is no solution to the current epidemic which causes illness and deaths due to resistant Staph infections.%u201D In fact, %u201CMRSA and other hospital and community acquired infections are PREVENTABLE DISEASES..."

The solution is SDC, which kills Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Community Associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) and Community Associated PVL Positive MRSA (PVL MRSA) within 2 minutes of application.

SDC, once applied, CONTINUES KILLING MRSA FOR 24 HOURS. None of the disinfectants currently in use does this, a glaring deficiency likely responsible for the near-epidemic status of MRSA.

What''''s critical is the PRODUCT that schools are cleaned with. If SDC were used, schools would remain MRSA-free for 24 hours. SDC could then be reapplied overnight. And so on.

The Tulsa County Jail reported recently that SDC eradicated MRSA there over the last 14 months. In the past that jail would have seen about 168 new MRSA cases.

With all due respect, how can the findings of the EPA and the firm opinion of a man with Tommy Thompson%u2019s credentials responsibly be ignored by CBS on an issue of such immediate national importance?
