Since lemon Juice and vinegar have a pH of around 2 you can make a solution of tap water and lemon juice or vinegar that is about pH 4.

If you want something easier on wound beds, we used to use silvadene
Yes, My vet makes up the stuff for us. Also once healing starts apply Vitamin E (Direct from the capsules) on the scap to minimize scaring.
Also for animals apply NOTHING but water if you think the wound needs stitching.

We used to use some sort of polysorbate wound detergent, it doesn't hurt at all, but it gets dirt out pretty well. I can't recall the name.

It's strange because they are fully aware, along with the DoD, DARPA, the Navy and others, that research has come up with mimicking animal reactions to infections, something called 'defensis' attacks cells that contain no colesterol. Our cells all contain it, so are left alone - bacteria and fungi don't have this, and so these defensis things attack and kill them by perforating their cell membranes, curing the infection.
Srinivasan added that pharmaceutical companies are at least partially to blame for this problem, saying that they have neglected the development of new and more sophisticated antibiotics that could keep up with bacterial resistance because ‘there’s not much money to be made’ in this field.

I blame the hand-sanitizers. Those home anti-bacterial soaps. They create a perfect environment to make resistant bacteria.
We use them. If I go shopping or to the movies or whatever, I pull it out and use it.
People are germy messes ... and I have issues with fighting germs due to my health situation.
We have dial (antibacterial) and Dawn dish soap (antibacterial) and goopy hand sanitizer in my
car and purse (antibacterial) ....
Then, it's all because people like you that are sooo affraid of germs and such that we are in a situation like that. We live in symbiose with them, we need those bacteries. Some of them helps us fight against more dangerous ones (the ones we actually need antibiotics for). Like my mother was saying back in the days : You must suck on some rocks to become strong. (meaning not being a germs freak and living as it comes).
Peace out and don't forget to sanitize your hands and tell all the people around you that the germs are out to get them!! Be very affraid!! Btw, release the cracken already!!

You're right on the money, only the IV version is what is being used against ABSSSI. As far as I know, the oral rinse for mucositis is the only topical formulation to be tested in the near term.
"Cellceutix’s biologists believe that there could be a ‘treasure chest’ of drugs waiting to be developed for several disease indications that may never have been thought of by PolyMedix." - PR from 10/21/13
I'm thinking a much higher tax bracket is in my future
Pardon?
Hand-sanitisers are generally alcohol based so it would be impossible for bacteria to become resistant to that.

You are talking about two different things here, sure alcohol kills germs but viral infections are caused by viruses in the body, antibiotics are engineered to kill viruses. and viruses aren't germs so alcohol has no effect!edit on 30-10-2013 by wulff because: (no reason given)

So what i am saying is surely my body is not so used to antibiotics and i my children will be the same. But my cousins ect will have children that will be much more antibiotic resistant?
Is this how it works?

Gold and silver and copper remain quite effective against them though.

I've heard of colloidal silver. But how do you get gold and copper??
