This MRSA that we know now could have been in a latent or dormant stage for long long time and came up and out as the circumstances allow to emerge as a right medium was found for his expression.
In our body we have a myriad of good and bad bacteria.
The bad one usually come out when our body is weak or under stress.
We do not even know what we got but you can make sure that when our body is under stress they come out and try to make us sick or even kill us.
What human did in the past induce or cause certain diseases what human do today induce and cause other diseases unknown in the past.
This does not mean that the very bacteria that make us sick today were not present in the past.
It is all related to what humans do these days that trigger a particular disease to EXPRESS itself like for example loosing the immunity to antibiotics as humans abuse them and also by eating animals that have been treated with heavy doses of antibiotics especially chickens and all other animals kept in cages.
Capishhh?

Also, he claims that when he was in his coma that his brain wasn't working, yet if he were brain dead he wouldn't have been able to come out of his coma. You'd think a neurosurgeon would know this.
Funny but in the link that Psykhronic give us you can read the comments that people make about the article and most of the people regard those who debunked Akexander as a bunch of dickheads who criticize without having evidence.
One more thing is that physical science can not in any way exit his borders and penetrate in the realm of intuitional science where it is possible to understand how the consciousness works.
In other words if you want to know how the system works you got to enter the system itself. All the rest are pure speculations and mental masturbation.
You do not appear to have a clear understanding of biology.
Bacteria and viruses mutate and some mutations confer resistance to drugs. Those survive.
MRSA didn't "lie dormant" - it evolved.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
