Chronic and recurrent infections resulting from antibiotic resistant bacteria are becoming a cause for major concern worldwide. Especially important are infections that were originally nosocomial (acquired in the hospital) but are now contracted in non-hospital environments such as playgrounds, schools and workplaces. Skin infections caused by MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) are gaining notoriety because these infections are highly contagious, resistant to most known treatments and can spread very easily. If not contained they can cause significant morbidity like permanent tissue damage, necrotic damage which require amputations and sometimes can be fatal. MRSA and other staph infections are responsible for 19,000 deaths annually, which is high among all infectious diseases related deaths and is comparable to the number of deaths related to HIV/AIDS.

While immunocompromised patients such as the ones in hospitals recovering from a prolonged treatment, dialysis or surgery are more prone to contract this infection, recent trends have shown that this infection can spread fairly easily through skin-to-skin contact, cuts in the skin, contaminated surfaces and equipment and poor personal hygiene. Startling detection of infections in high profile people such as in professional athletes  (i.e. Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Cleveland Browns) have caught the attention of the popular media as it can permanently jeopardize their careers. More so, it also indicates that such infections will become common in future and pose a major public health challenge.

Limitations of Current Approach:

MRSA has shown to become resistant to most conventional antibiotics and recent reports suggest that it is probably even resistant to a new promising drug in development. The available antibiotic therapies are expensive, complicated and produce many side effects and are not guaranteed to work. While several natural product supplements and sprays are marked to ‘cure’ infections, most are either not safe or simply do not work as they have not been developed scientifically. Conventional preventative strategies such as washing the wound can be effective immediately after infection as it can ‘wash-away’ the bacteria at the wound. However, this sometimes is not possible and, more so, use of soap with anti-bacterial agents can further select antibiotic resistant bacteria which can then proliferate and cause harm.

The Solution:

After years of extensive research the scientists at NutraFuncFoods have developed a therapeutic Skin Spray made from natural ingredients that can be very effective against development of infections caused by microorganisms including antibiotic resistant bacteria such as MRSA. The ingredients present in the spray are broad-spectrum i.e. they are effective against several types of bacteria (gram negative and gram positive); fungus and virus. This one of a kind spray has many natural compounds which inhibit important steps important in development of bacterial infection. Application of the spray at the site of the wound can: (1) prevent the attachment of the bacteria at the site of the wound, (2) detach the bacteria that are already present at the wound, (3) prevent the proliferation of the bacteria, and (4) prevent the making and secretion of toxins by the bacteria. In addition, the spray when applied can stimulate the immune system which can further increase the ability of the body to naturally eliminate the infection. This Outside-Inside approach of this spray when used with other infection prevention strategies (i.e. washing, antibiotics, etc.) can be beneficial against several types of infections and prevent further development of antibiotic resistance.
