As a researcher at Inner Strength, one of the activities I like to do is to pull together information that has not been previously linked together or perhaps not linked together in a helpful organized manner to the consumer. This is true with a very common condition linking asthma and allergies, which I have been researching for many decades.

My observations have lead me to believe that people who are afflicted with asthma should be checked for Staphylococcus aureus (SA) on a constant basis to make sure that the ratio of this bacterium, that is normally on the skin and in the nose, does not begin to flourish exponentially – leading to periods of exacerbation of asthma and atopic flairs. Any decrease in immune function (such as a simple cold or exposure to concentrated allergens) or challenging of the system (stress) can lead to imbalance.

In the recent Journal of Immunology, it states,“Staphylococcus aureus (SA), a primarysource of bacterial superantigen (SAg), is known to colonize the human respiratory tract and has been implicated in airway inflammation. Studies have documented a role for SAgs in respiratory disorders, such as nasal polyps,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic rhinosinusitis, and asthma. However, cellular and molecular mediators involved in SAg-mediated pulmonary disease have not been clearly identified.”

In otherwords, how all of this is linked remains a mystery. Most of these staph infections remain local to their area, but breaks in the skin or surgery, evena paper cut can cause the pathogen to go deeper. People can also ingest foodthat has been infected with SA.

Several diseases can be caused by this spherical bacterium leading to osteomyelitus, urinary tract infections, toxic shock syndrome, diarrhea, sinusitis, pneumonia,boils and carbuncles, scalded skin syndrome as well as asthma and severe atopic dermatitis.

Major ingested culprits that contain SA are meat and meat products; poultry and egg products; salads such as egg, tuna, chicken, potato, and macaroni; bakeryproducts such as cream-filled pastries, cream pies, and chocolate éclairs;sandwich fillings; and milk and dairy products. The more the food is handled or kept at an elevated temperature, (heat lights) the greater the risk.   

SA can also exist exist in our air, dust, ventilations systems, sewage, water, on food equipment, and any environmental surface. Humans and animals are the primary holding areas – especially the skin. SA is present in about half of the population considered to be 100% healthy (This statistic varies depending on who you listen to)! So you can see that SA is enormously available.

Treating this bacterium is very difficult at best. Many antibiotics have been used successfully, but super strains like MRSA have been creeping in neutralizing pharmaceuticals effectiveness.

For the asthmatic and the chronic skin sufferer, I have developed several formulas using essential oils and household products that not only alleviate the symptoms (when the bacterium in finally under control), but also can be used to keep the whole system in balance. These products are something that I use personally and I am beginning to share with my clients.
