    Autumn — try another dr. or even an “Infectious Disease” specialist. They should be able to give you the help you need. I was diagnosed with being colonized with MRSA on 9-7-07. Scares the hell out of me.

    Dear Dr. Foster,

    I left you a VCML on your phone in regards to any trials or research going on right now. And about my salve. Please go to my website and click on the Testimonials link to read about the 2 people that used it for outbreaks they had from MRSA.

    Call me at 530-672-1432 or 530-676-4990 for more information.

    I have had MRSA since my stay at a Rehab Center - really a skilled nursing home. I can trace my superbug from September 10th, 2007 until the present.

    I am presently having my Vanco anibiotics which last another 3 weeks, plus my home health nurse is applying an anibiotic cream to my surgical wounds. Left inner ankle and left outer zankle resulting from a broken ankle.

    The staph infection became apparent upon removal of my pins (hardware) j holding my ankle together.

    my children have both been diagnosed with MRSA but I am just getting different stories about the disease. I was told that the infectious disease specialist in my town won’t see them since they are under 16. Any thing that I can do?
