Dianne huge YES...hospitals are full of infections...my dad use to always get staph infections when he had surgery. When I got him on CS got him taking it before he went in and during...the nurses will not agree to this so do no tell them. I had dad spray the bed rails, phone etc. anything that he touched. I don't know how many nurses I see pulling I.V.'s out with no gloves on because they are in a hurry...protect yourself :) Deb

If you were facing back surgery that will last 4 to 5 hrs. and hospital stay 4-5 days what would you take with you to help protect yourself from hospital infections? Also what supplements might help recovery. Will take my CS with me of course. Dianne
