UA athlete loses legs
I first heard this yesterday in church, in prayers for this young man, the captain of the rowing team, who has had both legs amputated to save his life from "flesh eating bacteria." Story from Dispatch. In this day of modern miracles in health care, this hardly seems possible.Necrotizing Fasciitis

In late 2006, Dr. David Allie, a cardiovascular surgeon from Lafayette, Louisiana, learned that his 18-year-old son had been afflicted with flesh-eating bacteria in his upper neck and torso (40% mortality rate) and was not responding to the onslaught of antibiotics that were being administered. Having successfully used the Microcyn Technology (www.oculusis.com/us/technology) to treat a broad range of infections (including MRSA and others) in diabetic foot ulcer and stasis ulcer patients, Dr. Allie decided to have his son treated with Microcyn as well. Within 24 hours of treatment with Microcyn, the infection retreated and within a week his son was out of the ICU and on his way home. Dr. Allie’s experience with his son is detailed in a video at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b0gp2C8R5E
