Heart Infection Patients Not Receiving Correct Medicine

Antibiotics have shown to protect some people from a rare heart infection, but a new study suggests the patients who really need the antibiotics aren't getting them.
Researchers led by cardiologist Warren Manning of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston followed up on 218 patients who had received echocardiograms, or ultrasounds of the heart. They wanted to see if the appropriate patients were being given antibiotics for prophylaxis use.

Ninety percent of the 218 patients classified as high risk for this bacterial heart infection called endocarditis were prescribed antibiotics. However, only 60 percent of the moderate-risk patients were told to take antibiotics and 25 percent of the low-risk patients were also given similar instructions by their physicians. In addition to those figures, researchers found 13 percent of patients told to take antibiotics were not following their doctor's recommendations. Dr. Manning says "many physicians appear to be lax about prescribing antibiotics for moderate-risk conditions and overly zealous about prescribing antibiotics for low-risk patients." Overuse of antibiotics in the past has proven to dilute the drugs' efficacy in fighting bacteria. Researchers conclude clarifying guidelines on antibiotic use for preventing heart infections may help the problem. Here is just another example of how important it is to protect our bodies from unseen perils that attack without warning. The only defense is to be prepared at all times and not let our guard down when it comes to our immune systems. I worked for a doctor in the back office for 3 years and had never heard of this until about a year ago when I was researching heart valve data for a client., I have found data about bacteria or virus that attack every organ including muscle and joints. When our bodies and immune systems get older and weaker as we age, we need all the help we can get. Transfer Factor has shown to work when antibiotics fail. Transfer Factor Plus was designed to work on bacterial infections anywhere in the body. Where do you harbor a hidden bacterial infection? Getting proven protection with just 1 product was virtually unheard of 3 years ago. We would use garlic, echinacea, golden seal, antioxidants just to name a few. But NO MORE Transfer Factor Plus will give your body what it needs to fight this bacterial infections. We may never know all the different things our bodies are fighting at any given time. But the immune system does and TF Plus keeps re-educating and building your immune system daily. Enabling it to give you the peak performance your health depends on 24/7.
