Silver Pyjamas fights bug

A PAIR of "miracle pyjamas" could be the answer to the fight against the superbug MRSA in hospitals.
The makers of the special silver pyjamas claim it is clinically proven to eliminate 99.99 per cent of more than 800 micro-organisms - including MRSA - in less than one hour of exposure.The silver, which can also be used for nurses' uniforms and furnishings, is undergoing trials in various University Hospitals, in the London area.

Consultant microbiologist Dr Paul Hillson said: "Over the next 12 months, tests will be carried out "Silver is known to be a very active and efficient agent in the fight against infection. It is also remarkably safe."I can envisage a transformation in our hospitals to the extent that all patients will be recommended to wear pyjamas containing silver. It will be like waving a magic wand in the fight against MRSA."

Leukaemia sufferer Christian Cittron, 20, was cleared of her MRSA infection within 24 hours of donning a pair of the pyjamas at the City Hospital, Nottingham.

Christian's mum Janet said: "Within 24 hours of putting on the silver pyjamas, hospital tests concluded that her MRSA had been completely eradicated."


Silver Pyjamas to prove surprise Hospital Hit
The anti-microbial effects of these new silver pyjamas reveal that they have clinically been proven to eliminate 99.99% of more than 800 known micro organisms including MRSA and VMRSA within less than an hour of exposure.

No longer is susceptibility to MRSA infection restricted to hospitalised patients who are anyway extremely nervous about contacting this skin infection. The entire population is at risk by the increasing presence of this bacterium in the community environment.

It is recommended that patients wear these silver pyjamas prior to, during and after their visits to hospitals to help protect them from infection. The silver fibre system woven throughout the garment will naturally eliminated 99.99% of germs in less than one hour and will help combat the effect of any infection during hospital stays.

The increasing frequency of anti-microbial resistance among infectious organisms is of great concern to both medical providers and the general public. The public needs to be very alert to this potential devastating threat which can be picked up almost anywhere from hospitals, schools, workplaces, kitchens or bathrooms. Any open wound even a scraped knee or minor cut is susceptible to common causes of infection.

Silver pyjamas are directly available to the public and the private domain to help reduce the risk of bacterial infection and protect the wearer from contamination from the surrounding environment. These silver pyjamas are a significant preventative measure to protect anyone against the potential of contacting a severe skin disease.
Almost 1 in 3 people are known to be staphylococcus carriers these pyjamas will help prevent infection from the environment prevent infection of open wounds and help speed up the healing process.

These pyjamas are technological advanced, lightweight and provide comfort and protection when in contact with the human skin against the threat of microbial sources. This is a self sanitising product that provides a foremost preventative barrier against cross infection using natural silver fibre.

There have been no reported cases of allergenic reaction in twenty years use of silver fibre. The antimicrobial effect is inherent and active for the life of the product and the medical performance is not reduced by repeated washing.

Cold hands are not only a sign that the weather's bitter  -  they could be a symptom of something more serious.

There are at least a dozen conditions which cause chronic cold hands, including peripheral vascular disease and ME.

The condition causes the small blood vessels in the fingers, toes, ears and nose to constrict when their temperature drops.
