MRSA, Silver, & Dr. Gordon’s comments

Please realize how much more valuable these suggestions and guidelines to athletes would be if they were informed about oral and topical use of ACS 200.

The whole problem becomes entirely manageable instantly but I fear that the reasons for this outbreak are much more complex and ominous.

Why does methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) occur in athletes?
Many risk factors for MRSA infections have been identified. While these are not specific to athletic populations, athletes may encounter them more frequently than the general population.
