Family Battles MRSA, Needs Your Suggestions

October 17th, 2006 · 27 Comments

I get letters like this every single day. Not quite as bad as this one every day, but sometimes worse and even more heartbreaking. I often don’t know what to tell these people who are suffering so, and having a hard time getting the proper response from their medical team. So, this one I am offering to you, and maybe you have some suggestions for this family:

Hello , my name is Susan (name changed), We have been battling MRSA for over a year. 3 out of 5 of us has had a bought with this. My husband andmMy two daughters all have a terrible repercutions with this break out. We have gotten to the point where Doctors have not given us much hope. We even have Doctered at the University of Minnesota of which are the best of the best. Sadly they to me have not helped and given us other options.

My daughter who is 14 is the carrier. Has been treated with vancomyocin as the last alterantive. Now is vancomyocin resistant.

Another daughter who is 4 is not the carrier but has had the worst break outs at one time she has had over 150 boils on her little body all of which were mrsa. Now is vancomycin resistant. She is the one who has suffered greatly with other medical issues also.

My husband who is 34 has had boughts of mrsa of which he needed to be hospitolized for.

Myself and our son has not had any break outs. No one can explain why we dont have the break out. We have a allergist that would like to see us have some blood tests to find out why we dont get the break out.

I am writing you this because I feel no one wants to help us anymore. Can you give us some help.

Technorati ,

    Hi i read the note you left about your family. i was doing some research for work and came across a web site called netdoctor.co.uk they were talking about a trial drug being used in the uk to treat mrsa that is resistant to vancomycin. it might be worth it to check it out.

    Mrsa has also plaqued my family for the last year also.

    I have 5 children one with Cystic Fibrosis.
    mrsa was first brought in to our home a year ago when my oldest son contracted it. He is a football player and we live in florida so he also occasionally goes deep sea fishing. we are not sure if his exposure was from the Football locker room or from chumming for sharks in a shark tournament.

    At any rate the mrsa got into his bone on his finger and he had the tip of the bone on his finger removed. Since then he has had mrsa 3 other times.

    My daughter with CF had to get a feeding tube and she too had mrsa in her feeding tube boils on her body and has tested positive for mrsa in her lungs. Her lung function has greatly decreased in the past year and we are going in to the hospital tomorrow for a 7 to 14 day stay for IV antibiotics (know as a tune up for cfers) to try and get rid of it.

    My second oldest son has also had it once my husband and I have both had it twice and my 4 year old daughter contracted it once. There is only one member of our family who has never gotten it. i am wondering after reading thios letter if he may be a carrier.

    Mrsa is so very painful having experienced it myself and also having a 4 year old daughter I have watched suffer from it my heart goes`out to this family in the letter. i am so sorry for you this is a terrible horrible bug and i will add you to my prayers. i can not even image the heart break of a mother watching your daughters suffer from this.

    Our family has finally been refered to an infectious disease doctor we are hoping can help us rid this from our home. We moved last month and threw away most of our bedding rugs pillows etc. but much to our horror it did not work and we have experienced 4 outbreaks of mrsa in our new home in the past month.

    I have been reading on the internet about success with natural oils and clay and changing ph balances that have shown progress. i have seen mention of people who have found help using tumeric, garlic and tea tree oils like melaluca. also they say using borax in your laundry will kill mrsa as the water in washers these days is not hot enough to kill it. I guess it is definitely worth a try.

    Also They found a volcanic clay in France that has killed the MRSA bug in some clinical trials. I am thinking that this only would make sense and if we do not find relief soon moving to France if we could afford it would be worth it to get rid of this.

    I do not know of many of the new products that have seemed to pop up on the internet actually work or are just feeding on our terror of this disease for proffit. It is hard to know what to do when your family is suffering and our doctors say it is everywhere and there is nothing we can do.

    Well i have learned more online in the past few days than I have from any doctor about tips to help stop this bug from real people who have actually gotten rid of it for good. So if there is anyone out there who has fought the battle of the superbug in there family and won please let us know.

    Desperatley seeking anyone with first hand experience of success

    I have been battling MRSA almost 2 years. Everyone in our family of 5 has had an outbreak.
    We were without any symptoms for several month thinking we had beat it, and now here it is again. My husband was hospitalized for a week and had surgery to remove the dead tissue from his leg. The rest of us are left with scars.
    Thank you for your comments on this site. I am going to make some calls and demand we get tested to see who the carrier is and what some other options are.

  • Laurie // Jan 18, 2008 at 9:47 am

    hi,
    just wanted to update everyone about what I have learned about MRSA. We just got out of the hospital with my daughter who has CF she was on IV antibiotics for 12 days. I can’t say for sure that the decline in her lung function was due to Mrsa in her lungs but she did test positive for it once and i think it was a big factor. She is doing better and her lung functions are back up. We are grateful to be home and for the moment all MRSA free.

    Now for what my experience in the hospital taught me about MRSA. i asked every doctor and every nurse who entered our room about it. most of them knew very little.

    The infectious disease doctor was not a great help. he said he saw 10 to 15 cases of MRSA a week and for the most part was unsuccessful in totally irradicating it. I have to say his hopeless outluck that there is nothing you can do made me cry as i was sure he could help.

    I think the medical community s a whole is taking it way too lightly and yes the day is coming soon when the problem will get much much worse. Unless something is drastically done to find a cure and stop telling everyone it is no big deal and it is everywhere there is nothing you can do.

    So, i do not accept that WE can not get rid of this!! i have been reading everything I can find here is what I have done and today we do not have mrsa I will post again if this does not work and it comes back.

    I read about the ph balance of Mrsa and it being able to live in acidic solutions and not basic. Borax in your laundry because it is basic is supposed to kill it on your clothes.

    baking soda in your bath

    I also found posts online about reading the back of the cleaners you are using mrsa is resistant to ammonia cleaners and clorox wipes do not kill it which is what we were using. what does kill it? Mr. Clean multi surface. or a bleach and water mixture. since we have asthma and CF in my house we can’t tolerate bleach so - i had a team of friends and family come over we put on masks and gloves and cleaned every door knob, light switch, gaming equipment, any hard surface. We also used lysol spary . Now lysol does not state anywhere that it actually kills mrsa just staff so i am not sure about this one thier web site is sketchy as it gives you info on MRSA but never says on anything it actually kills it. also with MR. Clean multi surface you have to leave it on the surface for 10min before wiping.

    Now for the most important part. About being a mrsa carrier. If you work in the hospital they do nose swabs on you to test for mrsa befor you can enter the ICU without a mask. If you test positive you have to put BACTRABAN ointment in your nose two to three times a day for 5 days to get rid of the MRSA. If you ever had mrsa in your sinuses or just in your family there is a 99% chance someone carries it in thier nose. this is called being colonized with Mrsa. All 7 of us are now using this. I was told by one of my daughters CF doctors about this. He said we all had to do it at the same time. You can only get bactroban with a perscription. So ask your doctor about this. We had one pediatrician who said this didn’t work. if that is so then why do all the doctors and nurses use it ?

    I also found a guy on the web named Ted he is a scientist doing his own research on MRSA he lives in bangladesh I think. Anyway he lists several solutions to aply to the boils and to clean with like baking soda, peroxide and iodine mixtures. There are also posts about many people who have been helped with taking the spice tumeric. I would not believe it if there were not at least 10 people every month who posted success about drinking a tabelspoon of tumeric in a tea 3 times a day. I tried it when I got a mrsa spot and it seemed to help but the taste is hard to take. I have been adding it to our foods though. if you search i am sure you can find the site.

    I hope this helps others. although we are doing all these things I do not know yet if it will work. We are Mrsa free for 1 week so far and are keeping our fingers crossed.

    One doctor a relative told me that you can not get rid of the bug but you can build up your body by eating right and taking vitamins, minerals and probiotics and excersise so that you can become resistant to its effects. I think that is the best advice i have gotten and we are trying to follow it.

    There is lots out there on probiotics, the good bacteria in your body. bacterias can not grow on top of other bacterias. So, if you have the good bacteria the bad can’t grow. Unfortunately antibiotics kill both so it leaves room for the bad to flourish. i even read about one study where they had the nurses at a hospital dip thier hands in yogurt after using antibacterial to clean so it would replace the good bacteria. they said it decreased MRSA break outs. We haven’t done this yet. but it does make sense. We are taking probiotics daily. Vitamins and minerals.

    good luck to all who are like us fighting this bug
    please post anything you might learn about getting rid of it.

    My family has also been battling with mrsa for the last year. Three out of four of us have had it. My three year old son was the first to get a boil on his belly. I believe it came from daycare. Next was my husband, who has had them all over his butt. It seems to have decreased for both of them. But, now I seem to be getting it constantly. Last week I had four boils on my rear end. They have healed and this week I have five new ones. I just can’t win. We have terrible, ugly scars from these things.

    Thank you Laurie for the tips. I will try anything! Some things that I have already tried and have NOT worked include: bleaching every hard surface possible in my home, door knobs, light switches, kitchen chairs, razors, shampoo & conditioner bottles etc., washing my bedding daily, showering twice a day, literally scrubbing my home from top to bottom! We also used the Bactroban! This did not work. In fact, my son & I both broke out with new boils about three days after we started using it! At the same time we were using Hibiclense to wash our bodies.

    The best thing that I have found so far is to use a Q-Tip dipped in bleach & apply it directly to the boil! It won’t start working until the boil has started to drain and there is an opening for the bleach to get through the skin. It burns. I tell myself, once I feel the burn that means it’s working. It usually starts to dry up and goes away in a couple of days. But, normally I only get one or two at a time. Having five right now, and four last week, I am afraid that I will need to get on antibiotics again. When we first had mrsa and found out what it was, the dr. gave us Bactrim. It cleared up, but about a month later it was back, so I have avoided asking for it again since it seems to only be a short term solution. Also, I really don’t want to be taking antibiotics constantly, since this is how mrsa happened in the first place…..overuse & improper use of antibiotics.

    I have also heard about the Turmeric. I did buy some too, but just couldn’t get it down. So, I bought it in a capsule form. I have to admit though, that I haven’t been taking it because I’ve been skeptical about it actually working. But, I will give it a faithful try again & let you all know what happens. I will also be buying some Borax and instead of taking bleach baths, I will try the baking soda. The yogurt makes so much sense! You’re right that bacteria cannot grow on top of bacteria! Maybe all my bleach has just made it worse!

  • Laurie // Feb 3, 2008 at 1:03 pm

    Jenny,

    The Tumeric does work. As well as magneisium to establish a normal PH balance in your body. I saw that you were using bleach. That did not work for us. We used bleach to clean and bleach baths did not work. If you have a break out that you can not clear up with natural cures immediately I would not recommend going too long without getting antibiotics. MRSA is dangerous and can spread all over your body even internally. So, sometimes antibiotics are a necessary evil. I have to say that we are still Mrsa free today. I have gotten one spot and I immediately stepped up on the tumeric and magnesium and it was gone in 3 to 4 days. i did keep it covered with a bandaide at all times so as not to spread it to anyone. we have hand gel and antibacterial soap at every sink.

    Ok the nitty gritty
    borax in the laundry every wash.
    magnesium — natural Calm www.petergillham.com
    probiotics by renew life at first we took ultimate flora 50 billion cultures critical care and we have just ordered the maintenence version from our pharmicist. They also have a chewable for younger children.

    We are also taking multi vitamins daily
    using lysol spray and mr clean multi surface to clean everything.

    We have purchased air filters - we have one very expensive one that states it kills MRSA - fresh air by ecoquest. it also has a feature where it can oxidize or ionize and kill every bacteria in your house but you can not be there. not sure about this. But you can look it up online. We also have the honeywell hepa filter which I love you can get it at target.com it is much cheaper but only does one room the other filter is supposed to clean up to 3,000 squrae feet.

    We also did the bactroban in the nose for 5 days the whole family. The pharmacy can also mix a nose spay with bactroban but i did not find this out till after we were done.

    Tumeric in tea tastes horrible but I have been adding it to food which is great. Chicken salad or egg salad with a huge dose of tumeric is fabulous. I put it on every meat I bake. roast, steak, chicken or fish. also great in home made soup.

    This is our first full month without having to go on antibiotics.

    good luck to everyone figting MRSA I hope this helps. I have gotten many emails about purchasing information on how to get rid of MRSA shame on you for trying to make a profit on families who are suffering.

    I hope this information is helpful and I will continue to post updates on what is working and not working for our family. We live in an area where I am told that 68% of the people in the population are carriers of Mrsa. We are lucky right now that we seem to have temporarily taken care of our problem.

    I am not niave. I know that no matter what we do it may return. So please keep posting updates. I know there are many families out there who are battling this and if we all share information we have a better chance of winning the battles in our homes against MRSA.

    Thank you and good luck to you all

    My family has been battling MRSA for over 2 years. Without getting into the long story everyone in my family has had an MRSA infection. My husband had severe double pnuemonia and was not expected to live. He was treated with vancomyocin and was released from the hospital after 50 days. Thankfully since then he has not had a recurrence.

    My children 4 and 7 both have had a couple of boils, which were later diagnosed as MRSA. I have had a significant amount of boils that were also MRSA.

    I had heard about tumeric and tried the spice as a tea. It was disgusting and I stopped drinking it. I did not think it would work. In November 2 boils appeared. I went to the store and got 500 milligrams capsules of tumeric. Within 24 hours one boil popped and the second boil stopped hurting. Within a week both were gone without a scar. I take a multi supplement now that has 100 miligrams of tumeric and when I have any type of growth I take 500 miligrams until the growth is gone. This is the longest I have gone without a painful episode in years.

    I don’t know if it is coincidence, but I am sure the tumeric has helped me.

    By the way an acquaintence told me about tumeric and hasn’t had an outbreak in 2 years. It worth a try.

    I got my first boil after Christmas helping a friend install my new furnace. The next day I got a boil which I thought was a spider-bite due to me working in the basement, lots of webs and I saw spiders. Got the boil lanced at the ER he gave me an antibiotic, I forgot which one. After a week the Boil went away, then another popped up. It wasn’t as big or painful, so I just lived with it while it was draining all over my underwear, not knowing what it was. It healed. And another popped up. I started to get a little frustrated and this one got infected, so I went back to the ER and got it lanced, this time the Dr. said that’s MRSA on your leg. I’m going to culture it, but I’ve been seeing this for the last year and that’s it. He gave me Bactrim for 10 days, the Bactrim made my eyes yellow-reddish and I caught a fever. But I got over that, and finised my 10 day supply. 4 days later got another boil with 3 little ones that surround it. Now I’m really getting mad.. I had a scheduled appointment with a dermitologist before we knew it was MRSA. She gave me Doxycyline 100mg for 30 days, bactroban for the nose and under the fingernails, and ordered me to take bleach baths ( 1/4 to 1/2 cup per half bath tub full) every other day. 3 days a week for 30 days. I also was reading about how Turmeric (the Spice or root) has helped people in India with MRSA. So I’m taking that too. I bought a large bottle of it at GNC taking it 3 times a day. It’s been 3 days, and the boil is not as painful and the little ones did not flare up. I’m 40 years old who is very active, runner, weights, outdoor activities and this infection has turned me into a recluse due to the pain. I’m thankful my kids and wife don’t have it. I’m taking every precaution, using a separate bathroom, washing my clothes separate, spraying lysol after I used toilet, disinfecting wipes after using the computer, or TV remote, PS2 games etc.. Constant hand washing. I pray this will be the cure… I hope this helps anyone out there, you’re not alone. I’ll write back in a couple of months to hopefully say I’m cured.

  • Jim // Apr 29, 2008 at 11:54 pm

    My husband and daughter have struggled with MRSA a few times. For them it has just been a few boils. Very painful though.

    At my husbands last doctors appointment for MRSA he was given antibiotics. The doctor suggested the bleach bath 2-3 times per week for 30 days. After the 30 days he was told to take bleach baths 2 times per month for 6 months. The doctor said this bathing regiment should kill the MRSA completely. He is still in the 30 day process of bathing, so we can’t say that this has worked but did feel this information was good enough to pass on, especially if you have had some temporary relieve with the bleach bath.

    Blessings to everyone who has contacted MRSA

  • Don // Jun 9, 2008 at 7:04 pm

    Hi, I was just reading the stories here and my heart goes out to each and everyone of you. In Feb 2007 my son contracted community MRSA. Up to this day we still have no idea how he got it. No other family members where infected.
    His MRSA was a very severe case that got into the blood stream. He was diognosed with septic arthytis in both knees,4 ulcers, and an abcesse on the right side of his lung. The doctors began treatment with Zyvox. My son had a total of 4 surgeries, 1 on his right lug and 3 on both knees along with tubes to drain the infection. This was all done within the first week in ICU. At this point we where not sure if he would make it.
    By week 2 his blood labs come back negitive of MRSA, by week 3 he was coming home with a pick line that stayed in for 2 weeks.
    It’s been a year & a half now with no complications.
    I want to thank all the doctors & nurses to help make this possible.
    I’m writing this letter along with prayers to let others know there is hope.

    After reading this, string of post, my heart hurts and I am torn between what I know works and how to explain it without sounding like a snake oil salesmen. ASU is doing research on how minerals/clays kills bateria,mrsa e-coli-c-diff one of the clays being tested is from our company. We have used this clay in humans and animals for over twenty years. Our site is www.miraclay.com I am not your normal alt health nut, I am an RN with direct mrsa pt care experince. I know about proper handwashing. This post is fyi not a sales pitch.

  • dave // Jul 12, 2008 at 1:32 am

    i went through 2 courses of antibiotics nasal gel and pills. I was tested mrsa positive. Came up negative on the next test. 2 weeks latter a small boil resurfaced on my arm. I used anti- microbial silver gel from” ” V S store. I week later it completely healed. 1 month later no outbreaks. This stuff works fast. I also started using colloidal silver in a nasal spray as a preventative. Turmeric and allicin are also part of my regimen. Please try the silver gel its the most effective thing so far

  • April // Aug 6, 2008 at 1:22 pm

    I have been battling MRSA for almost a year now. I’ve probably had 200+ skin infections. I lost count a long time ago. The worst abscess was on my stomach. The hole was large enough to fit a golf ball in.

    I’ve taken bactrim twice, been hospitalized with vancomycin in an IV, and had bactriban for my nose. I’ve cleaned my house from top to bottom multiple times. Nothing seems to get rid of the bug.

    The antibiotics have given me a systemic yeast infection. This is a yeast infection that starts in the intestines, goes through the blood, and comes out in your skin. Let me just say that yeast and MRSA are a deadly combination. For example… a yeast infection in the armpits weakens the skin and allows the MRSA to attack. I had up to 10 lumps in each armpit at once at one time. There were also many other complications.

    I have learned ways to prevent MRSA infections. I have used turmeric. I mix 1 tablespoon in warm water and down it. Then I chase it with another drink or gum to get rid of the taste. It is awful. Some people put it in chocolate milk with hides the taste pretty well. It will prevent the infection from spreading and stop fever. It helps with pain also. I have also noticed that it makes an abscess open up and drain more quickly.

    I have started eating homemade yogurt. Homemade yogurt has somewhere around 700 billion bacterium per serving. That’s way more than store bought yogurt or pills. It has cured my systemic yeast infection. I also notice that I don’t get MRSA pimples or abscess for like 3-5 days after eating a serving. It boosts your immune system.

    I have also found that exercising helps with MRSA. I know when you are in severe pain with a huge abscess that is oozing the last thing you wanna do it exercise. But it really helps. I had an abscess on my face. I did not excercise and it took weeks to drain and heal. Now I’m left with a horrible scar. I got a second one near the same spot. I lifted weights. I mean big time work out to where I was sore for two days. The abscess did not drain and it did not hurt anymore. I tried to squeeze it and all the drainage squeezed out like a super zit and it went away in days. Very little scarring compared to the first one. So exercise to boost your immune system.

    I’ve also been taking kelp to boost my thyroid. It really seems to help too.

    This bug is spreading to so many people so quickly that it’s hard to imagine a cure for getting rid of it. If you do get rid of it how long before you get it again.

    This illness has had me begging God not to let me die. I have suffered. I’ve had to put a positive spin on things to make my life worthwhile again. I’ve looked at it this way… Maybe God gave me MRSA so that I would change my lifestyle. I now eat healthy and exercise like never before. Even though I get skin infections, I’m much healthier than before. I was headed toward high blood pressure, diabetes, hypothyroidism, etc before I changed my lifestyle. If I slack, I get MRSA. What an incentive to continue a healthy lifestyle. Hey, it works for me. But I do with to have a permanent cure.

    Good luck everyone.

    My 19 year old granddaughter has been diagnosed with MRSA yesterday (she had a tattoo which we will all forever regret recently). My daughter had already been treating her sores until lab tests came in to confirm MRSA. She is on Levaquin and daughter is getting nasal spray for total family Bacatrim or something like that. I am just devastated as I am so afraid her young life is ruined. I’m reading that in England Allicin (garlic derivative) is being used with much success. Has anyone had experience with Allicin (key active medicinal constituent in natural garlic). My husband is going to Vitamin World today to pick some up, we pray it will help her immune system.

  • Jan // Aug 16, 2008 at 3:03 pm

    Can anyone advise of the best anti microbial silver gel for MRSA and can you purchase at only a Nutrition or Vitamin Shop?? Thx

  • Michael Douglas RN // Aug 16, 2008 at 8:32 pm

    This company has the one of the clays used in the ASU anti MRSA studies. If you have MRSA and can not afford it they will provide for free. www.miraclays.com

  • Jan // Aug 16, 2008 at 11:37 pm

    Michael, thank you kindly for this information re the clays, the first I’d heard of this. I’ve passed it on to my daughter. We are gathering any/all info we can as this is so new to us. Still reeling as to what to do next. Sadly, my hubby and I are staying away from our beloved g’daughter as we both have health issues and are up in years and scared to death of it. So sad.

  • Michael Douglas RN // Aug 16, 2008 at 11:59 pm

    Jan google MRSA+Haydel or ASU +MRSA or Shelley Haydel PHD Then read more about how universal precautions can help protect you and your family.

  • Jan // Aug 17, 2008 at 10:32 am

    Mike, I appreciate the information and have contacted MiraClays. I’m a bit confused after reading several articles as to whether the clays in the US, Germany or France are the best usage for MRSA. Anything is worth a try. Thank you.

  • Michael Douglas RN // Aug 17, 2008 at 10:57 am

    Jan, The first clay was from France (french green) two others are from the USA- You should Call www.MiraClays.com 719 375 4082- ps how did you contact MiraClays?

  • Jan // Aug 17, 2008 at 3:10 pm

    Sent Email to Mira Clays via their Email site…are you a sales rep?

  • April // Aug 18, 2008 at 8:57 am

    Do any of your suffer from systemic candida? (yeast infections of the skin or other parts of the body) Or colon problems?

    I’ve read that some people cannot get rid of MRSA because it can make it’s way into your intestines. If it lives in our noses, drainage could allow it to enter our intestinal tract. If this happens the MRSA attacks the good probiotics in our intestines and allows the yeast to overgrow. Then the yeast and MRSA work together to attack our system.

    Once I got MRSA I started getting yeast infections in my armpits, on my stomach, creases of my legs. I got thrush also.

    Well there is good news. I started taking a fiber shake that has helped with the yeast and MRSA. I mix 1 teaspoon of bentonite clay, 1 tablespoon of psyllium fiber, 4-6 capsules of a soil based probiotic (this strong stuff kills MRSA and Yeast) in a glass of water. It’s not very pallatable, but it works wonders.

  • Jan // Aug 18, 2008 at 11:52 am

    Just wondering if anyone has tried the Manuka honey? Received a message from a gentleman in the UK who has fought MRSA for several years. He tells me that the honey is being used in their hospitals there with success.

  • Laurie // Aug 18, 2008 at 2:24 pm

    Try the soveriegn silver I talked about it my post for Mrsa It works miracles and though I am sure the clay is great you can get soverign silver online or at a health food store and start using it right away as well as the tumeric capsules they are in most health food stores .
    Also the probiotics for the yeast by renew life they have kept my family Mrsa free and only my daughter who has CF has still had outbreaks but each time we do the soverign silver and she does not need antibiotics.The combination of the 3 have kept us well for some time. i would highly recommend using all 3 products until you can get the clay. I have read about it and it seems to be a great product. I have not used it as the other things I am doing are working so far.
    Good luck

  • Jan // Aug 18, 2008 at 3:40 pm

    Laurie, thanks so much for the information. My granddaughter has been taking tumeric capsules for a few days, has added Beta Glucan probiotic (is the Beta Glucan what you take or Ultimate Flora)…little confused on the type Probiotic that is best. Also my husband and I have some health issues and we are interested in the probiotics for ourselves. Will get some Sovereign Silver today and take to g’daughter. Thanks so much!

    Laurie - what dose of Sovereign Silver are you giving your child? With all these alternative treatments, its such a guessing game for us as to how much to give our toddler…

    I purchased anti macrobial silver gel for use on eruptions only, not ingestion. I wasn’t pleased with some of the results of taking it orally and didn’t pursue this for my granddaughter. My g’daughter is doing very well, feeling well finally and has healed nicely. I pray she doesn’t have another outbreak but if so her Mom will be prepared.
