Purpose and Mission

I first developed a Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in August 2009.  Throughout the time during which I had acute MRSA infections, the difficulty in locating extensive, consistent, and authoritative information was nearly as frustrating as were the MRSA infections themselves.

As a result of the period of uncertainty and frustration that followed as the infections returned again and again, I am starting this website in the hope that I will be able to make the MRSA battle a quicker and more successful one for others who have the misfortune of dealing with its ravages.

I am neither a doctor nor a healthcare practitioner.  Before you begin any type of treatment mentioned by me or by anyone else on this blog or in the forum or anywhere else on this website, please consult your physician.

Please help me to make this a great resource for everyone, by following the following guidelines.

1.)  When making suggestions or statements concerning treatment options, please provide as much reference information as you are able to provide.  Please use scientific and medical references when possible.

2.)  Please do not use this site to market your own products or products for which you are an affiliate.  (From time to time, I may refer to products as an affiliate myself, as a means of helping to pay for web hosting.  If I do make such referrals, they will be for products that I either have used or have researched and believe will provide value to the members of this community.)

3.)  Please maintain a friendly, courteous, helpful, and cooperative atmosphere.

4.)  Please refer to the disclaimer topic for important information.

Thank you.

Hello!

Welcome to the M.R.S.A Information Center! I am glad you have “dropped in”.  Please return often and help in building this informational resource.  I believe we will abe able to gain from sharing information, and I also believe we will benefit in knowing, as the phrase goes, “we are not alone”.

Why have I created the M.R.S.A. (methicillin-resistent staphylococcus aureus) Information Center?  I suffered from a recurring M.R.S.A. infection in 2009.  As I was undergoing treatment, and seeking additional and alternative options, I had great difficulty in locating reliable and varied information about M.R.S.A. infections and how to treat them.  I think that I would have benefitted greatly if I had located a group who shared my experiences and that allowed me to benefit from the experiences, the triumphs as well as the tragedies, of others who had suffered through M.R.S.A. bacterial infections. 

I have built the M.R.S.A. Information Center as both a blog and a forum.  The blog is, of course, iabout my personal M.R.S.A. infection experiences and, if I find suitable authors, may feature guest bloggers in the future.  The forum, is intended to be a free and open community wherein you may discuss any M.R.S.A. related topic you desire.

Please maintain civility and decorum in your comments and discussions. As an attempt on my part to further that end, registration (free!) will be required to post comments and initiate topics.  Guests may always read the posts and comments but may not post comments and initiate topics.

Thank you,

Tom

M.R.S.A. Information Center Administrator and Owner
