I was in the hospital for two weeks and have been home now for two weeks. I was treated for a MRSA soft tissue infection that started in my scrotum (swelled like a grapefruit) then extended all the over to my right flank to lower back. Doctors said I was two days away from being in the ICU. Two surgeries put two holes in my body to cut away the dead or dying tissue. Another surgery to replace the dressings and another surgery to hook me up to a wound vac. I was on various antibiotics via IV in the hospital to kill the MRSA bacteria and it worked! I was told I would need IV hooked to me via pick line an additional 4 weeks but then when was discharged I was prescribed Bactrim pills twice a day for 14 days which I just finished today. Blood results confirmed MRSA has left my body. My wound vac has already closed up my holes about 50% in just 18 days. My General Surgeon, Dr. David Crooks, was amazing. Without him I would have been transferred to a much bigger hospital further away. MRSA is not an airborne disease. You usually get MRSA the same way you do a common cold. Picking it up on your hands from then putting your hands to your face or to a pimple or wound. Check out the web site link I left here. KEEP YOUR HANDS CLEAN!!!
One final note: If you prescribed Oxycontin for pain, MAKE SURE YOU ARE WEANED OFF OF IT OR ELSE YOU WILL GO THROUGH NASTY WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS! That’s what I dealt w/ this week! That was worse then dealing w/ my wounds.
Good job Chris ^ !! MRSA IS NOT AIRBORN!
Its actually on EVERYONES SKIN. I have had MRSA for 2years. I got it with my C-section with my son. My son has it also.
#1 RULE!! WASH YOUR HANDS WITH SOAP AND WARM WATER ((don forget under your nails))!! DRY COMPLETLY!! ((under rings n stuff))
Congradulations on your MRSA leaving your body by the way. Most of us arent so lucky.
MRSA is on the skin and it can enter the body through any kind of wound big or small. So keep em clean and dry. Good hygeine IS THE #1 WAY TO STAY SAFE!
MRSA can be kept under control. Caleb was young and for kids and older people its harder to fight. Im glad hes doing well, mom. I can only pray that my sons never gets that bad.
I hatewhen people are afraid to hug me if they know of my MRSA.. dont be stupid.
Found this that a nurse wrote. READ!!!
http://thereaganwing.wordpress.com/2007/11/23/the-truth-about-mrsa-without-the-media-panic/
Good luck to you all!!
my sympathys go out to you. i apologize i spelt that wrong. i also have a staph infection. it should’nt happen to anyone, let alone a child. i have 5 children. i dont know what i would do. STAY STRONG, as strong as your baby.
This is to all the stories I have read today, I have had three 50 cent size sores on my brest for about 5 months. They hurt sometimes very bad.
I whent to my ER and they thought it was a spider bite. The biggest one was lanced 2 times. Yes its still there. I did’nt have Inc. @ the time. Well a week ago I went to the Dr. “I have Inc. now” and he put me on antibiotices. he thinks it might be merca. No change in the the sores, so I go back Fri. the have them tested. I just want everyone to know that there is only one GREAT Dr. and the is Christ our Lord. I prey for all of you and your Dr. that they know just what to do to make your lives go back to a normal.
Prey for me as I am for all of you.
God Bless, Jill
My son is four years old and about four days ago we noticed a mark on his forehead. We thought that it was just a bug bite. It was about the size of a green pea and when we woke up the next morning it grew to the size of a quarter. It has a red rusty colored topping covering the inside of the wound and it has now spread to the middle of his back. I need to know does my son have MRSA?
Just today I found out that I too have MRSA. As for you Amanda you need to get that checked IMMEDIATELY, like many people have said always assume it IS MRSA. I had a sore on my lip for about 5 days. I thought it was just a cold sore. I went in to the hospital last week and they gave me an atibiotic cream. I ended up with a lip 3 times the normal size, alot of leaking puss, and alot of pain. Please do not allow this to happen to you or someone you know. GET CHECKED. The doctor told me, in my first visit that it was a viral infection. In my second visit 2 days ago, they took a culture, and I recieved the results today. I was given a shot, and pills I have to take twice a day for a week. I will always have this, and will take much better care of myself, and my children. Please wash your hands MANY times a day. It is very painful, and I will always be scared that any cut or scrape can turn into this infection.
my grandpa was just diagnost with mrs he obtained it from hospital after surgery nurse say its only contagious if touch his skin or items his body has been in contact with she also informed me that even though some people may not get mrsa they can be carriers on skin and nasal cavities it is curable however it is very resistant to many antibiotics so its so its a matter of finding the right antibiotic for the strain you have cause it is constantly evolving so if you have had mrsa for a long time it can be cured if they find the right antibiotic before it does to much damage if your mrsa never seems to go away they probably havent found right antibiotic or someone around you is carrier or maybe home hasnt been disinfected good enough hope this is helpful
Colloidal Silver is the answer to MRSA…In a high PPM solution….Take it internally as well as topically
I’ve had MRSA for about 2 going on 3 years now. I wouldn’t never wish this on anyone. My first was when I was 8 months pregnant. All I could do is just sit in warm baths of water and take my antibiotics….ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN MEDICINE!!!! I just hope and pry it gets better as I get older, I don’t think it will though.
My son has been in the hospital now since New Years day. Took awhile before docs knew it was MRSA. He also got pneumonia, was put on an oscillator ventilator because his right lung collapsed twice. He had to be put on kidney dialysis but he never got any oozing sores. It went to his blood stream and he almost died. He is doing better today but still has a long road of recovery. If anyone can give me some more info on this please email me. Thank you. My son turned 12 on Sunday.
My sister-n-law has MRSA and she is in the hospital, the Dr. said that they was going to help her get better, but it will take a long time and hope that nothing would go wrong. We live for and alsome God and he promforms mercials everyday, and he can help you all as well.
Hey Everyone,
I’ve been battling with this for almost a year now and it is an absolute nightmare, I know. I have found many natural remedy websites on the internet that have natural cures. The antibiotics only make your immune system weaker and the MRSA keeps coming back. Also, the MRSA is a superbug and adapts itself everytime you try a new antibiotic. How is it possible? Some think this Bug was bioengineered along with others like SARS, Swine and Avian flu? Either way, here are some things to try. If you spot a boil, soak it in hot or warm water to soften it. Once it is softened, try to squeeze it or drain it. If you can’t yet, then try Turmeric spice mixed with olive oil as a paste. This will help draw out the pus and make the boil rise up to a head. Once you see it come up, soak it in warm water to soften it, then try squeezing it then. Do this two times a day or as needed to drain the pus out of it. That is all you can do. Otherwise, if you do not drain it, you will end up in the hospital for surgery, or it might spread to your bloodstream. Another thing to try is ACAI BERRY juice. Once you notice a boil, take 1 ounce of the juice two times a day. The boils will go down immediately the next day. It will work, but I am not sure if it will permanently cure it. I also read that stabilized Garlic sold by Allimed has cured MRSA. But it is costly and some people might need to take 7 – 12 capsules a day to cure it. This will cost a lot. ACAI Berry is the Best for MRSA!
Also, many doctors and nurses are taking MRSA so lightly. The nurse who posted a comment above is an example of the same kind of thing you hear from them. They say don’t worry. Staph is on everyone. I’m sorry but I never dealt with this before in my life, why all of a sudden so many people have it now is very curious to me. It’s going around in school, children are getting it, athletes at the gym are getting it. Everyone is getting it. I’m sorry but this is an Epidemic, this is an Outbreak! This is not NORMAL! This is ENGINEERED! Stay away from Anti Biotics, which are also ENGINEERED! Anti= Against Biotics= Living
Doctors are Robots, they are all programmed. It’s hard to find a Doctor who can think independently.
Dear Joyce,
You hit the nail on the head when you said that the doctors find it hard to think independently go to these 2 websites http://www.watercure2.org and http://www.drday.com
I’m refering to (Chris 10/26/08) comments. My husband went to Urgent Care a week ago, he thought he had the flu. He was so dehydrated that he was given a bag of IV and sent home with pain killers because he also complained of lower butt spasms due to over stretching trying to reach an object at work. Another week went by and his left leg swelled by his butt area. Still complaining of no energy, weight loss, sick like flu symptoms I called our doctor. He told us to go to the emergency room and he will schedule an ultrasound of the area of his hip. We spent all day in emergency, test after test, Cat scan determined it was infected and it’s going down his leg. He was flown by helicoptor to the nearest major hospital. When he got there he had surgery to open it up. The surgeon said it didn’t attach to any muscle or other tissues but the infection was yellow puss everywhere in his butt/lower thigh area. After 3 days in hospital on 2 really high doses of antibiotics they told us it was MSSA not MRSA but MSSA. The bacteria got in his blood system some how, attached it to his weak area (his strained butt muscle) and grew. He is now on the correct fighting antibiotic to get better. Tomorrow is day 4 in hospital and he will have a tube put down his throat to reach his heart valve to see if the infection has reached his heart. After that determination, they will do a pick line for 24 hours, then maybe be released to go home with bags of IV for us to give him up to 4 weeks. They told us that pills will not kill this bacteria inside him he will have to have the IV pick line. A home nurse will come on a daily basis to check his incision (vac) and see if the IV pickline is not clotting, clean area etc. It’s a long process and we don’t know the outcome yet but he’s in good spirits. We still don’t know where he contacted this MSSA and probably never know. It’s scary to think children with weak immune systems out there get it and when you see a very strong person who went down hill very fast in one week, it really wakes a person UP. Good luck everyone. God Bless you.
yeah i had a mrsa infection under my arm and it had to be cut open and drained. then i got another one and the toxin got into my bloodstream and i had a fever and chills and my blood pressure was out of wack for weeks. i stayed in the icu. it was awful. i can’t imagine having such an awful one as this boy when i was so young.
My son got MRSA for the first time about a year ago. We have also gone through the “on again off again” thing. Like others who have said this, when I thought he’d finally overcome it, he’d get another postule or boil.
The first one was just a small pimple under his diaper. I didn’t think anything of it–just an isolated pimple for diaper rash. A week later, it looked bigger. I thought that was strange, so I touched it. Under the surface, it was HUGE! It felt like one of those giant marbles (and equally as hard). I took him to the pediatrician, and she recognized it as MRSA immediately and prescribed him the sulfur antibiotic. A few days later, it was oozing and bigger. They told me to bring him in right away. Apparently, it should have been drained, and because a whole week and a half had gone by since it begun, it had grown into separate and deeper compartments in his abdomen. I had to bring him in for several days to have it lanced and drained. He screamed and cried and begged for me. It was horrible.
My advice is this: if you have a boil and it has been diagnosed as MRSA (or you or a family member have had it before and you recognize it), puncture it and drain it yourself. My son had recurring boils after that, and after bringing him in multiple times to have it drained, I discovered I could bring him in for antibiotics and drain it regularly at home (like once a day or while changing diapers), and they cleared up much faster. He also didn’t have to go through such prolonged torture sessions. We’ve gone several months without an outbreak now, and I hope it stays that way.
Coincidentally, I just sent my husband to urgent care AGAIN because I am certain he has MRSA on his scalp. It started as a scab with an infection, or so we thought, and the doctor diagnosed it as cellulitis. NOPE. He’s been on antibiotics for 5 days now, and it’s oozing pus and blood. He’s been trying to drain it himself, but the pain is excruciating.
For what it’s worth, I have another toddler and have been able to avoid him getting the infection thus far. I think my family must be carriers, or something, because my father, brother, and sister have had it, and there’s no apparent reason. We have no idea where it came from. But the bottom and groin area seem to be really common, so watch out for those harmless looking pimples!
I have always looked forward for posts which are informative and something i can use for my reference purpose.
The medical industry created MRSA
Have any of you ever heard of a child as young as 11 being put on dialysis? Its what saved my sons life.
My name is Brittany an my son is 7 months old…he has had an ear infection since he was 2 months old…i take him to a clinic an all they keep doing is putting him on stronger antibiotics…i read a case on here were a 17 month old had ear infections since he was 3 months old an come to find out he had staph….should i be worried? i mean i dont really know what to do….my mom has staff in her eye an on her rear…but she is VRSA….which means she is immune to any antibiotics they give her…the doctors are doing nothing for her at all…she caught it from UAB hospital in Birmingham Alabama….SO PLEASE IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION FOR HER OR FOR MY SON PLEASE HELP ME….I WILL BE COMPLETELY GRATEFUL TO ANYONE WHO HAS ANY ADVICE OR INFORMATION AT ALL…..an i thank god your son is doing better cuz i have seen the pain my mom has went through an it hurts not being able to help….
I agree completely I think that staph was created the government as a biological weapon or something but it backfired bad! i mean its spreading so fast an everyday more an more people are getting it an dying from it….its awful! my heart goes out to every single person who has any form of it whatsoever….i know several people who have it an it hurts to watch them suffer….an the government doent seem to care…they should be showing it on the news an telling people what they can an should do….its wrong to hide this from us we have a right to know what we are dealing with here….if this is a true epidemic we should be told about it,aware of it,an we should be ready to know what to do about it….
I have been battling mrsa for the last 2 years now. when i get them it hurts to even move in some spots. i have gotten so scared that im going to get more that i was my hands at least 10 to 15 times in one half hour.i just wish with everything that i have that there was a cure for this..to everyone who has it,keep fighting.
I spent 6 months in the hospital 2 years ago fighting mssa,then next step from mrsa,i also got vre,and e cloi from to much/many antibiotios. I have another staph,,staph hae–in the hospital it was a bad dream one big bad dreamso so so so painfull,I still take pain rx but by the mouth,I have spent many many hours reading up on these staph,in the past year 2 new bad bugs have comeout with no cure at all,both of these are neg gram bac. no cure,,in the past month 2 new strain of bactteral infections have popped up in the morning 3 states had it,,next morning 20 states had it,,that night 35 states have it again no cure u die,only hope is a rx from the 50′s and it is hard on the kidneys, best bet is to always wash your hands,,and if you go to a dr, or a hospital,make sure you do not touch anything,now schools have it,jails have it,beaches have it,,but it seems that people can carry these bugs and live a normal life,,but watch for a bump,red spot that breaks into a pimple,,it is hot,,and red if it pops pus water comes out,,,but it does not go away,if u get this clean and cover it all the time,i hope this help shead some light,if you have any of these bugs ,good luck,,and i pray for all thise who suffer from it,,again it is like a bad bad dream but it is not a dream it is real and it is you,,just be more and extra carefull ,byyye peter from austin texas
My mom had MRSA but she has got it out of the wound but she is a carryer. She is now battleing stamones staph.We are getting the wound to close
I have had staph for five years. However, it has about healed up. I had it a long time because I could not find a dermatologist who was competent until now. One tried a few different antibiotics – doxycycline, Keflex and minocycline. None worked. He had an assistant do a culture – she acted like it was her first day 0n the job – the culture came back with nothing – I think she botched it. The dr wanted to put me in the hospital. I didn’t want to go becasue it wasn’t that severe. I went to another dermatologist who told me it was roseaca – it was on my ear and forehead, and it had every characteristic of a staph infection. I didn’t go back. I next found a third dermatologist who said I had staph. I had done research on the internet by then to find out that bactrim/rifampin works about 95% of the time, so I asked for bactrim. The bactrim worked. The culture that this doctor did also came back with nothing; however, he didn’t get any fluid for the culture – in fact, I didn’t even feel the swab he used touch my skin. He was generally competent though. The bleach baths he had me take every other day worked wonders – just put 3/4 cup of bleach in your bath water and soak and rub off any dead skin from the infected site while you bathe. If the bactrim, minocycline, dioxycycline and keflex don’t work, try zyvox – all are pills. Some doctors don’t know to try all of these, and just want to put you in the hospital after a couple don’t work, or give up. It’s insane, but if you are generally healthy, it’s totally curable.
Hey, everyone. I just wanted to say that you do NOT have to let MRSA push you around. There are ointments you can use, and if you catch the “pimples” early enough, you can wipe them out without the use of antibiotics. ALSO, manuka honey (active 16+) heals MRSA, and so does 2.5 pH water from Kangen machines (water ionizer/alkalizer). Drinking green tea and taking the supplements that work for you will also help to cleanse your system of the bug, but it’s a long journey and you must be consistent.
I know about all of this because I’ve been caring for my husband and children, who have all had repeated bouts with MRSA. I had it once but wiped it out rather easily with bactroban and have not had it again…but I am building up my immune system, just in case.
Please don’t panic and don’t believe for one minute that your future relies solely on how well the antibiotics work. There are many options!
But be sure that cutting sugar out of your diet is a major help!
i just got over wth mrsa im a 13 yr old boy mrsa is hard to go along wth wthout getting made fun of by bullies..i feel bad fer this child and wish tht tht was me instead im srry
Hey Everyone,
I still have MRSA despite being put on three different kinds of antibiotics. You’ve heard the story before, it’s pointless! But anyways, I found three cures for MRSA and you can get them at the health food store or on Ebay. Please keep in mind though, that these do not actually cure MRSA from ever happening again. All they do is keep it quiet, or keep it at bay, which means no boils, no outbreaks…. These are the three cures.
1. Fish Oil Capsules (DHA/EPA) 2 – 4 caps a day (This will also cure Insomnia)
2. Vitamin D Three (Cholecalciferol) 20,000 ius per day
3. Acai Berry Juice (Half Cup/twice a day) – The second you spot a boil, take the juice and I’m not kidding you, the boil will be gone the next morning. If it’s a bad boil, then maybe you will need to take a Full Cup/twice a day. Either way, this is a miracle cure right here! I was stunned myself.
These cures will make the boils go away. But, the second you stop taking any of these cures, the boils will continue to recurr!
One more thing that works is Milk of Magnesia, rubbed or lightly massaged onto the boil continually for half an hour or more depending on the size of the boil. Do this every two hours. It is time consuming, but it works if you do it every two hours till the boil goes down to a small enough size. Do the same thing the following two days, until the boil is gone. This is a very time consuming method of treating the MRSA boil. Acai berry juice will kill it instantly.
If you take Fish Oil caps FIVE days a week, you won’t have any outbreaks. Same with the Vitamin D three, no outbreaks. Both of these two supplements also cure insomnia, which is how I discovered them for MRSA in the first place.
I have been doing a lot of experimenting and researching about MRSA. There is one last thing to try and that is Homemade Colloidal Silver. I am looking into purchasing one for myself and I plan on drinking two 8 ounce glasses of Colloidal Silver a day to see if this powerful remedy will destroy the MRSA bug forever. That’s what I’m hoping for! Otherwise, I will just continue to live with MRSA and treat those boils as they come up.
Good Luck!

I currently have a MRSA infection on my finger, treated with surgery and antibiotics. MRSA is nothing more than a resistant form of the very very common staph bacteria. Staph(staphylococcus) is a type of bacteria found PROBABLY on and in every person, animal, object, house, tree or whatever on the planet. Most antibiotics are easily capable of weakening the bacterias cell wall(think bacteria skin) enough to allow the body to destroy it, or stop the bacteria from reproducing so the body can “catch up”. What makes MRSA so devistating is that a good portion of penicillian based antibiotics and some others don’t work, so the body is incapable of stopping it. Also, MRSA is capeable of becoming resistant to nearly any antibiotic probably 100 times faster than any other bacteria, so when prescribed antibiotics its very very important for doctors to prescribe heavy enough doses for a long enough period of time(say 2 – 3 weeks versus 5, 7 or 10 day courses). Even more important is for the patient to NOT MISS DOSES OR STOP PRIOR TO COMPLETION of ENTIRE prescription. Overuse and misuse by doctors and patients alike has caused this epidemic. Lastly, MRSA is insanely common, just because it is on your skin(and it probably is), does not mean you will get sick or even need antibiotics. MRSA commonly lives in the human nose without ever causing an infection. What is important is hygene; teeth brushing, hand washing, showers and HAND WASHING. Also taking vitamins, eating healthy and getting plently of sleep can keep your body healthy enought to fight it off before it can cause an infection. The bacteria has to replicate faster than your bodies white blood cells can kill them to cause an “infection”. If you stay healthy there’s no reason you can’t Come into contact with MRSA and fight it off without ever even knowing it! Last tip of the day, keep your skin healthy(fish oils, lotions, vitamin E)- its your bodies biggest most effective barier to the outside world, take care of it!
my sister and nephew both have mrsa ..we found a cream that you apply when it starts coming out and they applied this cream, and the mrsa dissappeared it is not a cure, but it helps for people not to have to go do surgery.. if you are interested in this call 678-357-1384 and i will give you the name of the medication.
Actually mrsa is airborne or can be if the person has the infection in their lungs or nasal passage ways. The nasal passages and nostrils has been shown to be a very common ‘nesting’ site on the human body with the mrsa-staph bug.
MRSA is resistant to antibiotics because of the unique biofilm that covers the staphylococcus aureaus bacteria. Salts that have low melting temps (= to room temp) are being developed to break up the biofilms so the antibiotics can reach the bacteria and function. These salts Aka ionizing liquids will be available soon. MRSA is not airborne. It can be spread only by contact (touching wound site) and droplet (drainage, etc). Many people are carriers of MRSA. It only affects those who have cuts, insect bites (hole in skin), or surgical wounds. It isn’t transmitted through kissing unless the infection site is around the mouth throat area. My grandpa had MRSA most his life but my grandma never had manifestations of the bacteria. She most likely was a carrier but it didn’t bother her. Some people have better immune systems than others. Doctors and nurses don gloves and mask because they can’t risk spreading it to other sick people who have suppressed immune systems. Bacteria aren’t all bad… For every one human cell in our body we have approximately 20 bacteria cells. These bacteria help keep us healthy and fight off the bad ones. Feel free to correct me or debate a little on what I have said. MRSA infections will be cured in the near future. I am certain of this. I am currently a student nurse pursuing a doctorate. I research this alot because my girlfriend is having trouble fighting it every year. If you have questions ask. I may have an answer or know someone else who can answer.

I hate to say it ….but MRSA CAN BE AIRBORNE!!! AND…YOU CAN INDEED CATCH IT EVEN WITHOUT CONTACT TO A WOUND!!!!!!! This is so important to know if you have MRSA!! Did you touch an open wound? Prob not!!! If you have CA MRSA you prob caught it through the air or gym or shopping cart handle and so on. People who contract this horrible bug generally have high lactic acid levels and/or have had a long history with antibiotics…after all….ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS MRSA IS ON THE RISE IS THE OVERUSE OF ANTIBIOTICS!!! The vast majority or your community comes in contact with MRSA a hundred times a day..it is EVERYWHERE! It’s your immune system-life style-etc. that determines your ultimate contraction. PS…cut out soda,coffee,and sugar (especially sugar) when dealing with an outbreak…MRSA loves sugar! Anything green is MRSA’S ENEMY!! God bless all my fellow suffer’s..u r not alone!!! love ya
I know what you are saying! I have research to back that up on our website. I had many people tell me I did not know what I was talking about but this was proven back in 2002 in Japan. So why has it taken so long for people to believe it?
MRSA, Oh yes. I believe it was Mayo Clinic that said that 80% of MRSA is gotten at Hospitals or Nursing Homes. The medical industry will NOT be honest with you and let you know of their MRSA outbreaks. They don’t want to have you take legal action.
Have you ever noticed a sign at a hospital that warns you of a MRSA outbreak? No, and chances are you never will. I recommend that you contact the Health Department at your state’s capitol and ask them to send you information on how they protect the public against MRSA, and do they post signs when they have an outbreak. If not why? likely they will tell you they aren’t required to, and that the whole world carries the germ. Ask them why most people get MRSA at hospitals, and or nursing homes. They ”
I contacted MRSA, and I have no doubt in the ER of a large hospital. My MRSE boil exploded during my sleep and you could see into the center of my hip…….MRSA had arrived. I was told there was only one antibiotic that could possibly help me. They had it, gave it to me intravenously, and it eventually allowed the opening to close about 3 months later. I have since then gotten about 25 boils total. For about the first 8-10 of them. I had to go to the ER to have antibiotics injected intravenously.
My immune system was so low that I got breast cancer, shingles, vertigo and a few more all within about 10 months.
Need I say, the pain is unbelievable. I not only thought I was going to die, at times, I didn’t care if I did. When health facilities keep their establishments cleaner, we will see a much lower outbreak of MRSA. I believe that 110%.
my daughter has mrsa and luckly she hasnt had any out breaks for two almost three years i use to treat them myself but have never had an out break i wish the best for you all also my mother treated her with this stuff called GREEN STUFF it helped a lot its all natrual and seens then she dosent get sores but we always watch out for them
sorry
MRSA can be caught via the air if the person who has it is coughing and has the bug in their lungs. Look up Vanguard (for laundering) and SpectraSan24 (cleaner that kills the bugs on surfaces) MRSA can be killed by eating garlic that is freshly minced, not cooked. Look up Allicin. When you mince garlic, two enzymes mix together and they form Allicin, the most potent antibiotic. I believe it needs to be incorporated into the diet maybe a half clove every 8 hours. It bothers the stomach of some people, so aloe vera juice may help with this. Garlic lowers the cholesterol. Studies show that cholesterol-lowering drugs help kill MRSA by disrupting their fatty coat, so the body can then attack them. I think garlic kills it this way? I also sprayed colloidal silver (at nature stores and some grocers with a health section). The silver exchanges an ion with any bacteria it comes inot contact with and it kills the bacteria. Tea tree oil is awesome too. Use it around the wounds after the silver dries (at least thats what i did). Turmeric has antibacterial properties and some claim to put it on the wound each day after cleasning and the sores went away. (didnt do thsi one…its orange..and the wounds were on my chin). Oh yeah, and look up Mangosteen….supposedly this fruit (like a mandarin orange) has something in it found to kill MRSA. I would do a steady diet of garlic minced (on toast, sandwiches, etc) to continue killing the bug even after wounds get better. Speaking of which, i need to go mince one and stick it on my sandwich.
Cover your wounds with gauze so they don’t spread. Don’t use band-aids so much as the wounds need air. Take any antibiotic prescribed, but be aware as well of how your liver and kidneys are functioning (lab tests that docs do) if you are on long-term antibiotics or hospitalized. Wash the area with hibiclens as it kills germs, then pat dry with toilet paper (to avoid germs on towels), then apply the ointment that the doc gave you, Mupirocin. Make sure to use a qtip and put some in each side of your nose twice every day for a week. Studies show it is now in milk, on meat, and who knows where else. Maybe eating garlic every day will help us all a bit? Just dont tell the FDA or they’ll ban it.
Hi everyone… I posted on this website years ago and recently came back to update everyone on my progress with “vaginal” MRSA… I tried everything for this… EVERYTHING… Garlic, Tea Tree Oil, Magnesium Oil, Iodine, Hydrogen Peroxide, Allicin, Allimed, Colloidal Silver, Sovereign Silver, Homemade Coilloidal Silver, Vitamin C, Apple Cider Vinegar, Borax, Baking Soda, Probiotics, Digestive Enzymes… I mean EVERYTHING… Here are the Top cures:
A. Fish Oils- DHA/EPA – will keep the boils at bay, but as soon as you stop the Fish Oils, the boils come back… This also will cure your insomnia if you have that also…
B. Acai Berry Juice- 1 or 2 cups a day and your boils are gone… Also once you stop the Acai Berry Juice, the boils come back…
C. Colloidal Silver- Homemade or Expensive Sovereign Silver… Again this will keep it at bay and the boils will return once you stop taking the CS
Here is the #1 cure for MRSA…. I SWEAR BY THIS!!!! It works and I don’t know how or why! And Why nobody knows about it…. You can find them at most health food stores… They are basically Trace Minerals and Tissue Salts…
DR. SCHUESSLER’s TISSUE SALTS- 12 Basic Tissue Salts
Calcium Flouride
Calcium Phosphate
Calcium Sulfate
Potassium (Kalium) Phosphate – Aries
Potassium (Kalium) Chloride
Potassium (Kalium) Sulfate
Magnesium Phospate – Leo
Sodium Phosphate – Libra
Sodium Chloride – Aquarius
Sodium Sulfate – Taurus
Silicea – Sagitarrius
Also interestingly is that each one of these salts has been tied into the Zodiac and the 12 astrological signs… Depending on your natal chart and natal planet positions… I don’t know all of them but I listed the ones I take the most and the ones I know… I know it might sound weird, but it is the ONLY thing that worked after all these years of trying everything else didn’t… I’m so thankful that I found these simple, CHEAP $10.00 Tissue Salts…
Google It!!! DR. SCHUESSLER TISSUE SALTS cured MRSA
In particular it was, Calcium Flouride, Magnesium Phosphate, Potassium Phosphate, Sodium Phosphate, Sodium Chloride and Potassium Sulfate…
ONE MORE THING!!! About the SCHEUSSLER SALTS…. Is that they can be given to children and even infants… The dosage is on the bottle if you read it… They are tiny dissolvable tablets that can be dissolved in the mouth or in a liquid…
Please go get some… I hate that so many are suffering from this horrible MRSA…. Go get some now!!!
I have MRSA right now and have been battling it since my nasal surgery in October. I’ve had staph infections, one after another. I haven’t ended up in the hostpital yet, but i’m sure I will at some point because they are spreading to other parts of my body. I mostly have them on my head. I have around 10 totaly on my head. My doctor had put me on an antibiotic and it made me really sick. And so did the next one he put me on. Then I finally had one that helped a little bit, it made a few of them go away but after I was done taking it, it just brought many of them back. I’m supposed to go see a specialist, but it’s taking a long time. I’m not sure what to do until then. I really don’t wanna end up in the hostpital or die from it. Is there anythng I can do?
I just got over it. I had three large boils on my tailbone and left cheek of my buttocks. After 3 surgeries it is now gone. I had to take several different antibiotics before it started to heal. I still don’t know how I got it? I was also told that everyone has the MRSA bacteria on their skin. I was also informed that there are two strains. One that is usually found in hospitals (more dangerous) and another that is spreading though out the communities. I was out of work for approx. six weeks.
