Anti-MRSA Kit by Honeymark

A manufacturer of high-end skin care products has developed extremely powerful antibacterial products that can both treat and prevent MRSA Staph infections. Consumers can now purchase all of these products in one package.

After many years of overuse and misuse of antibiotics, bacteria have developed antibiotic resistance, which has become a global health crisis. Experts are also predicting the emergence of new drug-resistant strains in the future. These facts have significantly escalated public hysteria and have imposed upon us the chilling reality that no one is impervious to life-threatening, infection causing bacteria.

Despite the grim reality of antibiotics proving to be relatively useless in combating the MRSA superbug, there is a solution that, oddly enough, comes in the form of a natural ingredient. Honeymark's secret ingredient isn't really that much of a secret at all, actually. Just maybe not well known in the U.S. yet. Active Manuka Honey has been proven to be one of the only substances in the world that is capable of completely eradicating MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.

Manuka Honey is a premium honey that is made by bees that utilize a particular nectar from a flower that can only be found in New Zealand. This flower grows on the Manuka bush, also known as the tea tree or Leptospermum scoparium. It's this unique nectar that gives Manuka Honey the extraordinary antibacterial properties it is becoming known for.

Honey has been used to treat wounds and infections for many years in many different cultures. However, it has been discovered that Manuka honey from New Zealand has additional healing properties not found in other types of honey, making it far more superior for medicinal use. This medical-grade honey is now being viewed as one of the only viable treatment alternatives to antibiotics for the treatment of MRSA.

Honeymark's Anti-MRSA Kit includes all of their products that can be used to treat and prevent MRSA such as their First Aid Antiseptic Lotion, Hand Sanitizing Gel, Antiseptic Spray and Liquid Hand Soap, all of which contain active Manuka Honey as a natural antibacterial agent. The pack also includes a 500 gram jar of active Manuka Honey. Honeymark's First Aid Antiseptic Lotion has been used by many people to successfully treat MRSA. The company boasts this product as its best seller, specifically because of its ability effectively treat Staph infections.

Prevention is also very important, especially for individuals who have previously suffered from a MRSA Staph infection, which can reoccur if not treated properly. Honeymark's Hand Sanitizing Gel, Antiseptic Spray and Liquid Hand Soap are excellent products to ensure your skin is free from harmful bacteria that can cause infection.

"At a time when antibiotics and other traditional forms of medication have completely failed to cure this potentially life-threatening condition, the medical industry has viewed Manuka Honey as a major breakthrough in the treatment of MRSA," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Unlike antibiotics and some pharmaceuticals, Manuka Honey is an all-natural ingredient that has been found to have no negative side effects."

Honeymark's Anti-MRSA Kit is ideal for students, teachers, athlete's and an absolute must for medical professionals and hospital workers. For more information or to purchase this pack, call 1-866-427-7329 or visit www.HoneymarkProducts.com.

MRSA Treatment with Manuka Honey

Even though MRSA has become resistant to most antibiotics, it is no match for the powerful antibacterial properties of Manuka Honey.

As data on the prevalence of MRSA continues to mount, hospitals are taking an aggressive approach in preventing the spread of this resilient infection. Statistics indicate that about 2 million patients develop infections while being treated in the hospital every year and 100,000 of them die from the infection.

According to the Center for Disease Control, the proportion of infections that are antimicrobial-resistant has been growing each year. In 1974, MRSA infections accounted for 2% of the total number of staph infections; in 1995 it was 22% and in 2004 it was 63%. In fact, a report issued by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control found that MRSA infections are 8.6 times more prevalent than previous estimates and that the antibiotic-resistant bacteria is found in all wards throughout most hospitals.

Studies show that 30-50% of the population carry MRSA on their bodies. The fact is, MRSA can coexist on the surface of the skin very harmoniously without causing any significant health complications. It's only when the bacteria penetrates the skin by way of a wound or puncture where it can become harmful.

Despite the grim reality of MRSA infecting our communities, there is a viable treatment solution. A special type of honey found in New Zealand and certain parts of Australia has proven to be effective in destroying this resilient bacterium. It's not so much the bees in this region that are special, rather than the flowers that grow on the Manuka bush. These flowers produce a unique nectar that contains extraordinary antibacterial properties. The bees use this nectar to create what has become known as Manuka Honey.

It has been discovered that Manuka Honey contains healing properties not found in other types of honey. Manuka Honey destroys MRSA by drawing moisture out of the bacterial cell, making it impossible for them to survive. This is very similar to what happens when you pour salt on a slug.

Honey is one of the only substances in the world that does not expire. Food spoil when bacteria begins to form on it. However, bacteria cannot survive in honey. Honey discovered in ancient Egyptian tombs that were preserved for over 4,000 years has even been found to be suitable for consumption. The absence of bacteria in honey is mostly due to the presence of hydrogen peroxide. In fact, before antibiotics were invented, honey was commonly used for medical purposes, particularly for dressing wounds.

A rating system administered by the Active Manuka Honey Association in New Zealand calculates the potency of Manuka Honey on a scale from 0-30. It is generally accepted that Manuka Honey with a UMF rating of 10 or higher is considered active and suitable for therapeutic use. The higher the UMF rating, the higher the antibacterial activity. However, patients have reported sensitivity to Manuka Honey with extraordinarily high UMF ratings (i.e. UMF 20-30). Even UMF 10 Manuka Honey is potent enough to kill MRSA and heal Staph infections.

When examined under a microscope, it has been discovered that MRSA cells form a septum down the middle, dividing the cell into two separate cells. This happens every 30 minutes. However, Manuka Honey has been found to interfere with the cell division cycle, stopping it dead in its tracks. This has now been considered a major breakthrough in the medical industry.

In summation, active Manuka Honey is one of the only natural substances in the world that is capable of efficiently destroying MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria. As a result, Manuka Honey is now being used as a main ingredient in antiseptic products. One New York-based manufacturer of skin care products is taking advantage of the natural antimicrobial properties of Manuka Honey. Honeymark has developed a First Aid Antiseptic Lotion that is effective in treatment MRSA and other bacterial infections.

"Our First Aid Antiseptic Lotion is our best selling product, specifically because of its ability to kill MRSA and heal Staph infections," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "With experts predicting that new antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria will inevitably emerge in the future, Manuka Honey will be considered an extremely valuable resource." As a natural ingredient, Manuka Honey has been found to have no negative side effects when used for medicinal purposes.

Effective Staph Infection Treatment

Since antibiotics have proven to be virtually useless when treating Staph infections, doctors turn to a special type of honey that contains extremely powerful antibacterial properties.

People all over the world are being faced with the horrifying news from their doctors that they have contracted a Staph infection. What is a Staph infection? These hard-to-heal infections are caused by a mutated form of bacteria (MRSA) that has developed a resistance to antibiotics and other traditional forms of medicine. MRSA Staph infections can be fatal once entered into the blood. Therefore, immediate attention is required.

Staph infection symptoms can be identified by pain and swelling around a wound, pimple-like boils on the skin, blistering and peeling skin. Treatment for Staph infections doesn't have to be a mystery, just because antibiotics don't work. Studies now show that active Manuka Honey can rapidly heal a Staph infection more efficiently than medicine. To treat a Staph infection, just apply a small amount of Manuka Honey directly to the effected area. Since Manuka Honey has an osmotic effect, it immediately begins to draw moisture out of the bacterial cells, making it impossible for the bacteria to survive.

It is important to know that standard honey that can be purchased at supermarkets does not have the antibacterial properties capable of healing a Staph infection. Only Active Manuka Honey is suitable for medical use. If the thought of applying honey directly to your skin is undesirable, consider using Honeymark's First Aid Antiseptic Lotion which contains Active Manuka Honey. This product eliminates the sticky mess of using honey on your skin while providing all the same health benefits of Manuka Honey.

"When considering how to treat a Staph infection, the first step is to destroy the bacteria that causes it," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "Bacteria cannot survive within the healing environment created by Manuka Honey which is why it is such an effective ingredient in wound dressings."

The days of honey being considered merely a food item may be over. With reports of its effectiveness in treating infected wounds and a variety of other skin conditions, Manuka Honey's notoriety as a healing agent is increasing to an all-time high. Honeymark is also developing Manuka Honey products to prevent Staph infections. The company reports that those products should be made available to consumers later this year.
