Example of Elecampane Wildflower

More and more scientists are now realizing that Mother Nature has answers to many of the dilemmas that we face. One such answer has arrived through a pair of Eurasian wildflowers (Elecampane & Pulsatilla vulgaris).

According to a study conducted by researchers at the Cork Institute of Technology (CIT), extracts from the flowers are highly effective in killing the MRSA superbug.

The superbug, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium that is the root cause for many infections in humans. MRSA can be very difficult to treat, because it’s resistant to many antibiotics. MRSA is especially troublesome in hospitals, where, if the proper procedures are not carried out, staff may transfer these bacteria from one patient to another.

MRSA has been a serious problem not only in hospitals, but in other institutions such as prisons & schools. Due to the continually rotating population in a prison, combined with regular poor health, staph cases have become more and more prevalent.

The CIT researchers found that Elecampane, also called Horse-heal (Inula helenium) or Marchalan, is 100% effective against MRSA colonies. The second flower, Pulsatilla vulgaris, also known as Dane’s Blood or Pasque flower, was also “highly effective” against MRSA. The pair of wildflowers was tested against 300 different varieties of staphylococci bacteria, commonly known as Staph.

Example of Pulsatilla Vulgaris

The Pulsatilla vulgaris (Dane’s Blood) belongs to the Buttercup family. Unlike its cousin’s yellow petals, Dane’s Blood has purple droopy flowers. The Elecampane appears in many gardens throughout Great Britain, but ranges as far eastwards as the Himalayas.

In an article written in the Corrections Connection Network News [CCNN], writer Ann Coppola pointed to Tulsa County Jail in Oklahoma, which suffered from an average of twelve staph cases per month.

These wildflowers represent a significant weapon in the battle to fight the staph infections that are ravaging prisons, schools and hospitals. It’s been noted too that it’s best to harvest the extracts from young wildflowers, 3 years old or less, for optimal potency.

I have personally recommended easy and cost effective techniques to eliminate the MRSA strain from hospitals, schools and prisons using negative ion, UV & HEPA Air Purification Systems and cleaning with hydrogen peroxide or a silver solution. Although I have made numerous recommendations to government officials nothing to date has been done to protect the innocent victim from these MRSA infections.
