An Amazing Scent-Based Discovery To Eradicate MRSA

Fighting MRSA has been an uphill battle for years now.
Impotent measures have been the only solution up until now, with hand washing, alcohol scrubbing, and patient screening as the preventative measures of the day. Hydrogen peroxide gas is being used to deep clean hospital settings, but after only 24-hours, the MRSA colonies return in mass. But a recent discovery has shown a seemingly unorthodox solution to this pervasive situation.

After a decade of cumulative international research on the effects of essential oils in inhibiting bacteria and infectious microbes, researchers in England have made an amazing find. Most of the previous studies had involved the successful use of essential oils in eradicating infectious microbes through physical application. This particular study utilized the vapors of essential oils in successfully and dramatically reducing airborne counts of infectious microbes.

A team led by Professor Valerie Edwards-Jones of Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) conducted a ten-month study on the effects of certain essential oils vapors upon airborne microbes, including MRSA. During this 2006/2007 study, conducted within a Manchester area hospital burn ward, an essential oil blend was dispersed through the air into two hospital test rooms and a third hospital control room. Researchers found that the solution called BioScent ™ actually reduced the evidence of MRSA and other infectious microbes by 90%.

Professor Valerie Edwards-Jones, PhD, C. Sci, FIBMS, FRSM, is a well-respected medical microbiologist and expert in MRSA research. Since 1994, she has published over 80 peer-reviewed papers, and has lectured internationally on the subject. Her colleague, Dr. Anna-Louise Doran PhD, M.Phil, BSc, is also a published researcher and esteemed lecturer.

The study was accepted for publication in two journals in the coming months. The study has also been under review by the UK’s National Health Service Rapid Review Committee, and is pending approval for use in UK hospitals. The study’s benefactor and majority patent holder, presently has over 300 machines dispersing essential oils in UK hospitals, without official NHS approvals.
The story of the use of essential oils in fighting infection and disease is a long one, yet it is barely known but to a few. The might of the medical establishment, big pharma, and the scientific elite, is a mighty army against a small band of natural products that are considered almost impossible to patent and protect.
