Phage Therapy for MRSA
I have been reading about Phage Therapy at the advice of Dr. Richard Barfield and found it fascinating. He wrote “Phages are viruses which are specific for attacking and killing a particular strain of bacteria. Their natural enemy is probably our only hope of surviving this doomsday bacteria. Drug companies aren’t going to do the research because they probably won’t be able to patent a living organism which occurs naturally, so they won’t invest the money. As for the Federal Government, don’t hold your breath.” So I looked up everything I could find about PhageTherapy and MRSA and found that it is being studied and used but not that I have found in this country yet, but i have only begun to search and so far only found a clinic in The Republic of Georgia. Phage Therapy came from Russia long before antibiotics, it seems to have been pushed aside by the discovery of antibiotics in this country, and that Dr. Barfield is correct that they may very well be our only hope as MRSA becomes VRSA, with no cure in site. I fell an obligation to start making noise in this country about Phage Therapy while I am making as much noise as I can about CA MRSA since I was fortunate enough to have this good doctor put it in my lap. I still have a daughter to save as well as the many friends I have made on the Internet who are suffering with little hope for a future, perhaps I’ll even have to save myself, or you, someday.
