Some of you may night like Dr. Phil. I really like Dr. Phil. That is the only show I can truthfully say I watch anymore. I catch it once in awhile when I am not posting, reading, watching sad videos and trying to take care of myself in this friggin toxic box I am forced to live while very seriously ill. I don't have any family, so I like to think of Dr. Phil as a brother I have. One I piced by choice not biology.
Dr. Phil is sober, he is wise and sometimes he can be damned effective. My only complaint is that he doesn't tell his viewers to DEMAND IMPEACHMENT NOW and end this friggin US/Canada tragedy that has had global consequences. It might have a real good effective if he did.
Events have SHOWN you cannot trust the government. Anyone who has followed the Katina Holocaust knows that, too. But his effort to take on the CDC and expose their sickening lies is truly commendable.
The hypocritical Oprah has gone back to eating hamburgers and BOASTING ABOUT her buddies search for the perfect burger. GIVE ME A BREAK. Most meat is laden with bad chemicals now, so is meat. But telling the sheeple that must won't/wouldn't "do", not on the plug-in American drug. You can be DAMNED SURE Oprah isn't going to show you the videos on the 9-year old girls who must prostitute themselves to feed their families .. oh, no not THAT. She'll probably omit the segment on the superbug to do a rerun of Tom Cruise. She is NOT into solutions ..
But Dr. Phil is now hitting the edges. He is talking full scale recognition that people in the US are truly underserved by the CDC and the lieing doctors who work in hospitals. He is showing the ugly side of moral corruption that is RAMPANT in America.
And his viewers are NOT crying about puppies being thrown off a cliff when they can't shed tears for a single Iraki dead - as America goes DOWN, Dr. Phil's viewers are being given a CRASH course in how far down the tubes the agencies (well, actually the CDC is a consortium of PRIVATE concerns, not unlike the Federal Reserve) .. that they must rely on are failing them miserably.
So here is some stuff off his website today. (Did I mention the hidden depopulation agenda, no matter WHAT the suffering and sorrow caused? Did I mention that??)
I do not believe that cleanselight and lysol is the solitary answer!! More must be done to PRESSURE the CDC ..
Stay tuned ..

The Superbug Scare
Could a grave danger be lurking in your home? If you believe the headlines, you know that catching MRSA, also known as the Superbug, can have deadly consequences, but should you be concerned? How can you spot the danger and what can you do to stay safe? Dr. Phil gets to the bottom of these questions and others.
Fatal Infection
Melissa's son, Mark, was just 13 when he went to the hospital and wound up with MRSA. Learn about Melissa’s tragic loss and why she thinks her son’s death could have been prevented.
Nineteen-year-old Stephanie has been battling the Superbug for almost a year. Get a firsthand account of her experience with the disease. Why has she survived?
Inside the System
Even doctors aren’t immune to the Superbug. Dr. Drew O’Neal had an accident while on vacation, and what happened next changed his life forever. He shares his valuable insights as both doctor and patient.
Two years ago, Glenn was your average sophomore playing on his high school football team — until he contracted the Superbug right from the team’s locker room. Find out what important lessons he learned that could help protect you and your children from the germ.
How to Protect Yourself
Renowned pediatrician Dr. Jim Sears weighs in with the latest information and shows off products to keep on hand that could save your life.
Melissa tells the story of how her son’s illness unfolded. Mark complained that his knee hurt, and it had swelled visibly. After a doctor found a tumor there, Mark went in for a bone biopsy. Before long, he was admitted to the hospital for chemotherapy to be administered through a port installed in his chest.
“Mark's incision had oozing the first two days at home. He seemed OK,” Melissa explains. “On August 11, his pulse rate started to increase. I called the emergency chemo line. Mark was in the emergency room. A surgeon looked at Mark's leg and said he needed to do surgery immediately and remove the infection. He said Mark might not survive the surgery, but if he didn't have it, he would be dead by the morning. The tissue that they removed from his leg was positive for MRSA.”
Melissa continues, “They did an EEG, and they did another brain scan, and it just showed that he had no brain function left. He couldn't breathe on his own, and his kidney functions would not come back, so we were able to say goodbye because he was not going to be able to hold his own any longer.
“Mark passed away on August 23, at 12:30, and it should never have happened. It could have been prevented, and for every parent out there who wouldn't want that to happen to their child, and they say it kills more people than AIDS, why don't we know more about it? Why hasn't it gotten any attention? I don't understand. Mark was just a unique, special child, who touched so many people, and I really felt as though he was cheated out of his chance to survive.”
Dr. Phil thanks Melissa for joining him, saying, “We don't want to intrude upon your grief, but I understand why you want to talk about this. Have you worked backwards to figure out exactly the point at which he became exposed, he became infected? Do you really know?”“We don't know the exact point,” says Melissa. “He did have hospital-acquired MRSA, and unfortunately with his immune system down, it gave the MRSA a chance to really attack the body very, very rapidly. Like I said, that morning Mark's pulse rate had gone up, he didn't have a fever, his biopsy site, there didn't appear to be any changes, but once we got to the emergency room, he went downhill quickly. His fever went up to 103.8, his biopsy site started looking — widening, turning black — and it was just hours that he went into septic shock and cardiac arrest, and even though we had him on life support in the ICU for 11 days, it just, it had done too much damage.”
“Had you heard of MRSA before that?” asks Dr. Phil.
“I didn't know about MRSA,” she says. “I think that perhaps at some time all of us have heard of, oh, a hospital infection or something of that nature, and it's something you hear go past on the news and it just goes past.“
“Certainly the hospitals know about it,” says Dr. Phil. “I mean, should they not be, like, swabbing everybody down, finding out if this is in their hospital, doing things to protect it? Did you feel like that was done before this happened?”
“By doing their voluntary programs,” Dr. Phil notes.
“By doing their voluntary programs,” Melissa agrees.
Dr. Phil asks Melissa about the moment in which her son’s condition took a downturn, and how soon the hospital was able to recognize what was going on.
“Once we were in the emergency room and then ICU, there was discussion about his wound site, if that was where it had actually started, but the MRSA can — a percent of it turns into the necrotizing fasciitis, which is the flesh-eating disease. And that's where one of the surgeons came in and said, ‘He may not survive the surgery, but I'll guarantee you he'll be dead in the morning if we don't do it.’”
“Well, when you're talking about necrotizing fasciitis, the treatment is you've got to cut until it bleeds, you've got to get past it, you've got to get ahead of it, and that is a very barbaric sort of procedure to just try to get ahead of the curve and cut where it's not, and it can leave huge wounds, and I assume that's what he was saying. 'We've got to do this, or he'll be gone either way.’”
“Correct. Yes,” says Melissa.
Stephanie and her mother, Shelly, join Dr. Phil via satellite.“Stephanie, what are the doctors telling you about your situation?” he asks.
“They really don't tell me much about MRSA,” she explains. “The last time I went to my surgeon, because I just discovered three more lumps under my arm, and he just basically told me that my body's going to be rejecting the antibiotics because I've been on it for so long, and there's really nothing more he can do, and that's what he left me with.”
“Let's talk about how this happened,” says Dr. Phil. “You are healthy, you're young, you're active, you're strong. What was the first indication that caused you to seek out treatment?”
Stephanie recounts, “Around last December, I woke up, and I had a pea-sized lump underneath my right armpit, and I went to the doctor, and they first thought it was an infection from shaving, and they gave me some medication, but it never got any better. So I kept on going back, and they started draining the area on my armpit every day for almost a month, and then, that's when they finally decided to have surgery, around February.”
“They never actually sat me down,” she explains. “That's the thing. My mom actually found out I had it because my first surgery, she was coming up to see me, and I had these, like, red signs all over my door, and people walking in in all these, like, uniforms and everything, and covering their faces, and my mom didn't know what was going on. She asked, and it was like, 'Well, your daughter has MRSA.'”
Dr. Phil addresses Stephanie’s mom. “At some point they told you what was going on, they explained it,” he says. “What did they say about it?”
“Nobody's ever explained MRSA to us with Stephanie except for she's just a carrier, it's something that she has, it's a severe staph infection,” says Shelly. “We've never had to do anything different as far as being around her or when she was being treated there at the hospital. People were coming in with all these suits, but we were standing around in our normal clothes, visiting with her, talking to her.”
“Boy, I've got to tell you, if I'm the only one in a room not in a biohazard suit, I'm going to start asking questions,” says Dr. Phil. Stephanie has had three procedures so far. “Do you have anything scheduled in the future?” asks Dr. Phil.
“Actually, right now my surgeon, he said he can't do anything more for me until I see an infectious disease doctor, but they can't see me until the 28th,” says Stephanie. “So, there's probably a surgery in the future because one of my lumps under my left arm is growing pretty fast. It's getting pretty big, so ... he just told me to wait.”
“He just told you to wait until the 28th with this growing,” Dr. Phil says in disbelief. “Tell me about the pain aspect of this. You said at one point it was so painful that you can't believe you even went back into the hospital.”
“Yeah, at the beginning,” Stephanie says, “because when they were packing my arm, and they would take out the packing every day — I don't even know why I went back. It just hurt so bad, and it was like torture.”
“I hate to be indelicate in asking this, but we know that some people have died with this in a matter of days, and you are surviving,” says Dr. Phil. “How is it that you're fighting this off and surviving?”
“I am actually not too sure,” Stephanie says. “That's what I tell myself every day when I wake up with another one. I always think well, it could be worse. I just listen to what the doctors say. I take the antibiotics, and then we usually just go into a surgery and they drain the area, and then you think it's gone, and then a couple months later there's another one. It's just starting to scare me. “
“Well, I so thank you for telling us about this,” says Dr. Phil. “I am just so uncomfortable with this wait-until-the-28th-to-see-somebody.”
“That's the way I feel!” Shelly interjects.
“That would not be OK with me unless we were talking on the 27th, and we're not,” says Dr. Phil. “So, I wish you the best with that, and maybe we can draw some attention to this.”
That’s when Drew took a fall while hunting and broke his heel. He went to the emergency room, but did not undergo surgery at the time. Instead, the surgery was scheduled for two weeks later to allow some of the swelling to go down. When he did go back for surgery, his doctors screwed the pieces of his heel back together. The whole process went according to plan — or so they thought.
“Within a few days I was starting to get ill, and it became very apparent that I was in trouble,” says Drew. “I became very sick. High fever. A culture was obtained, showed MRSA, which is methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. The first three months were terrible. I was sick, couldn't do anything more than lie on the couch. There was a period of hopelessness. Will I ever walk again? Will I ever enjoy some of the things that I've enjoyed all my life?”
Drew took oral antibiotics for about eight months to keep the infection contained, but in August his injury took a turn for the worse. “The heel disintegrated into six pieces, and my entire ankle fell about an inch,” Drew explains. “Everyone's attempts, the infectious disease specialist, the orthopedic surgeon — it all failed in the end, and so at this moment, my heel's gone. I may end up with an amputation. I've had six orthopedic operations, headed for my seventh with no guarantee that I'll ever walk again.”
“I think maybe what scares everybody about this is you're inside the system. You're a doc,” says Dr. Phil. “How quickly did they recognize, did you recognize what was going on after you had had the surgery?”“Well, any time you have a procedure the physician's always thinking about the possibility of infection,”
Drew explains. “That's been true for many decades. And unfortunately, a few days after the surgery the incision started to get red, and warm, and started to drain, and the redness started to creep up the leg, and I knew I was in trouble — hoping it was just a regular bug, that it wouldn't be that difficult to eradicate. But that's not how it turned out.”
“So, you've had how many surgeries on your heel at this point?” asks Dr. Phil.“Six,” says Drew. “The last one, they had to go and actually remove almost all of the calcaneus, the heel bone, and fill up the void with these little cement marbles that are impregnated with antibiotics, to hope to go back in a few months from now and rebuild it, take a cadaver bone and screw it to the bottom of my ankle and hopefully rebuild the foot.”
“What is MRSA?” Dr. Phil asks Drew. “What are we dealing with here? Where did this come from?”“Well, staph aureus is a very common bug. It's been around forever,” he says. He turns to address the members of Dr. Phil’s audience. “Ladies and Gentlemen, look around at those around you. One out of three of you has staph aureus on your body right now. One out of four of you in this room has staph aureus in your nose. Now, of course that doesn't mean they have MRSA, which is a little bit worse.”
Drew explains that staph aureus has been around forever, though it was first identified in 1880. When Alexander Flemming discovered penicillin in 1943, he used staph aureus to make the discovery. At that time, 100 percent of staph aureus responded to penicillin, so it didn’t pose a danger, but over the years it has slowly developed a resistance to penicillin, a simple antibiotic. By 1950, about 40 percent of staph aureus had already become penicillin resistant, and by 1960, 80 percent had. Then, in 1961 the first case of methicillin-resistant staph aureus appeared, a strain resistant to even the strongest antibiotics in existence.
“That's why they call it a superbug,” says Dr. Phil. “My docs used to tell me, 'Take all of these antibiotics or all you're going to do is kill the weak germs, and the real killers are going to stay strong.’ So you've got to go all the way through.”
“That's good advice,” says Drew. “Absolutely right.”
“So this has evolved by surviving the antibiotics and getting stronger and stronger,” says Dr. Phil.
“I saw this thing on my left elbow, and it just looked like a pimple at first,” says Glenn, who was a sophomore in high school two years ago when he made the discovery.
When the affected area didn’t heal after a couple days, his mother, Melanie, called her pediatrician and asked the doctor to culture Glenn’s arm. The results revealed the presence of MRSA.
“I was a little bit scared at first to see that on my elbow,” says Glenn. “I didn't know what to think. I knew about MRSA from the previous year at football. A few older guys got it. MRSA has become a big epidemic at my school. A lot of guys on the football team have contracted it. Out of the 13 kids at my school who contracted MRSA, about 10 of them were football players.”
Melanie says the school has been diligent in trying to protect its athletes. “They've been educating the athletes and the parents in proper hygiene, to wash their hands, not share any of the equipment, and to look for any signs of MRSA,” she says. “The only thing that I've really changed is enforcing him to bring home his pads and equipment every night to be washed.”
“I definitely take a lot more precautions now. I wash my stuff every night. I shower right after practice,” says Glenn. “I was very relieved that they caught it in time. I'm concerned about getting MRSA again.”
“I believe that this hype about MRSA is necessary,” says Melanie. “Parents should definitely not take this lightly. If there's any concern, they need to be seen by their physician.”
“So, Glenn, you had no idea what you had, right?” asks Dr. Phil.“No, not at first,” says the young man. “I had the smallest idea because it happened the year before to a few seniors, but that was it. I just knew it was some sort of disease they caught, and that was the end of it.”
Turning to previous guest Drew, a physician, Dr. Phil asks, “Once this gets into an area like a locker room like that, is it difficult to get out? Don't you need to go through and, like, scrub everything down, and get everything right?”
“Definitely,” says Drew. “You need to be very aggressive about cleaning meticulously everything like that.” He explains that MRSA germs can live on a surface like a locker room table for 10 days or longer.Pediatrician Dr. Jim Sears adds, “And the football team comes in off a practice, everything's sweaty, and the MRSA is on their equipment, and they throw it in the locker, and they just use it the next day without cleaning everything, and they don't take a shower right away, and that's how it can spread.”
r. Arjun Srinivasan with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention joins Dr. Phil by phone. Dr. Phil says, “The CDC says not to disinfect the school desk and those common areas. Is that correct?”
“No, actually, Dr. Phil” Arjun begins, “I'm glad you're bringing this up because this is a very important point to emphasize. Disinfection and cleaning surfaces is very important in controlling the transmission of MRSA. What we want people to focus on is the cleaning and disinfection of surfaces that are likely to have come in contact with someone's wound, especially wounds that are not covered or are poorly covered. So, there are certain areas, particularly in locker rooms, where there's a lot more risk on a particular surface because it's likely to have come in contact with someone's wound. So what we want people to do is really focus their cleaning efforts on those areas that are likely to be contaminated."
Dr. Srinivasan continues, "What we're concerned about is that people — you go after the walls and the floors, but you don't pay really particular attention to say, a training table, or a bench that everybody might be using to get taped or to have their dressings changed. We want people to really get in there and focus on those things, like Glen is saying, your equipment, the types of things that are going to have contact with your abrasions.”
“Melanie, you guys scrub it up every night, right?” asks. Dr. Phil. “Does he bring it home and wash it?”
“Now he does,” she says, “but I must say that now our school's locker room is very clean. They fog the equipment every night. They fog the truck that carries the equipment. The kids have to bring home their equipment. We have towel services so — That's a big problem with this age group. They're not as diligent as they should be, so we try to enforce cleanliness.”
“This is little Marly,” says Dr. Sears, hovering over a toddler in his office. “She's 18 months. Her parents called me, and they say, 'I think my child has an infected spider bite,' and that's the red flag to me. I say, 'It's probably not. Come on in and let's take a look at it.'”
Marly's mom tells Dr. Sears, “I was changing her diaper and just out of the blue it just popped up like it was a spider bite. So I kind of just let it go a little bit but it just started to get bigger and the red around it was really hot.”
“That's what most staph infections start as, either a little pimple or a boil or something that looks like an infected spider bite,” says Dr. Sears. “We have to use a combination of antibiotics, because when you have the resistant staph you have to really use some very potent antibiotics.”
Back in his studio, Dr. Phil asks Dr. Sears, “How dangerous is this? How much of a scare should we have at this point?”
“Well, I think we all need to be very concerned, but not scared,” he says. “We need to be educated about this. It is out there. We have to understand that the staph is on most of us, but as long as it doesn't get into our bodies through a cut or unsterile medical equipment then you'll probably be fine.”

We have to understand that the staph is on most of us, but as long as it doesn't get into our bodies through a cut or unsterile medical equipment then you'll probably be fine.”
Dr. Phil says, “If 85 percent of this is coming from hospitals, then shouldn't there be another protocol in hospitals? We were talking earlier about the fact that a Pittsburgh hospital has reduced this 85 percent with a voluntary program. Shouldn't this be something that the CDC is jumping up and down about — or whichever the controlling agency is — to get a different protocol in the hospitals?”“Sure,” says Dr. Sears. “That seems to make sense, because if we know who has the staph on them or in their nose especially, then those are the patients who are at risk, and to get rid of that staph before you do surgery on them or before you do procedures.”
Dr. Phil is joined on the phone by Dr. Arjun Srinivasan of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He tells Dr. Phil, “There are things that hospitals can do to prevent the transmission of MRSA and prevent MRSA infections, and there are a number of recommendations that have been put forth by CDC to help people, to suggest to them what things they can do to take those steps.”
“It's my understanding, and I just read this, that the CDC is being criticized for not doing enough, not being aggressive enough at the hospital level to bring this about,” says Dr. Phil. “What do you say about that, Doc?”
“Well, I think we certainly really want people to be aggressive about this problem. This is a serious issue, and we take it very seriously,” says Dr. Srinivasan. “What we start with is to tell people, 'You need to track MRSA, and you need to know what your problem is with MRSA. How much MRSA do you have in your hospital?' But we say, 'You have to monitor your MRSA constantly, and if it's not going down you have to do more, and you keep doing more until you get it to go down.' As you've said, knowledge is power.”

Dr. Phil asks Dr. Sears what parents and others can do to make their environments safe from MRSA.
“Like Dr. Srinivasan said, you need to disinfect the surfaces that are likely to be contaminated,” says Dr. Sears.
“But how do you do it?” asks Dr. Phil.
“Well, when I checked into the hotel last night, I got my little Lysol, and I sprayed down the remote control, and the doorknobs, and the light switches, just because I don't know if those got cleaned,” says Dr. Sears, brandishing a small spray bottle. “And I know when I walk around a hotel room, you use the bathroom, and oftentimes you may not wash your hands.”
“So, you realize this is going to send every OCD person in the world over the top,” Dr. Phil jests, “and of course, they'll probably survive, and we'll all be gone. So we'll have a very orderly world. But you're saying it is good to do that.”
“Right. Surfaces that are likely to be contaminated,” says Dr. Sears. “When you're sick, when you have a cold, if you have staph in your nose, you're more likely to be spreading it, so wash your hands extra when you have a cold, and those alcohol gels that you squirt in your hands, they kill these staph really well, but they don't get through dirt, so you really have to scrub hard.
As Dr. Phil examines Dr. Sears' Lysol spray bottle, he clarifies that Dr. Sears works as a spokesman for Lysol. "And this is safe for kids to be around?” he asks.“Well, it's for surfaces,” says Dr. Sears.
“I'm not saying you spray your kid with it,” he says with a chuckle, “but I'm saying if you spray the surface that the kid then puts their hand on, it's not going to freak them out.”
“And most of this stuff works by drying the bacteria out, which is nice because that doesn't lead to resistance like antibiotics do,” adds Dr. Sears.
“All right, there's another new thing that I'm holding here in my hand,” says Dr. Phil, waving a white oblong wand of sorts, called a Cleanse Light. “This is a U.V. wand, and this is something that is — it's a light, actually — that is anti-bacterial.” He explains that waving the object across a surface such as a keyboard, telephone or doorknob supposedly kills 99 percent of bacteria. If you turn it toward you face, it automatically shuts off. The Cleanse Light retails for $59.95 and is available at CleanseLight.com.
Every member of Dr. Phil’s in-studio audience receives a Cleanse Light and some Lysol spray.
