Re: Greetings......rare male victim here ... MRSA

Regarding the cellulitus caused by a possible MRSA staff infection. A poultice of French green clay on your toe may help because it kills that bacteria. Also natural progesterone should help. My dad had cellulitus on his whole lower leg. We used natural progesterone cream on it every day for two weeks and it cleared it up. Many health food stores carry natural progesterone cream. Call first before making a trip though. The brand we used was Progest. The Progest brand has two products. Don't get the one that contains added phytoestrogenic herbs for hot flashes. And don't worry, natural progesterone won't give you any female features. Estrogen does that, not progesterone.

Here is an abstract that says the natural progesterone may be helpful in eliminating staph infections.

Bacteriostatic Action of Progesterone on Staphylococci and Other Microorganisms

Yotis and Stanke Stritch School of Medicine, Loyola University, Hines, Illinois

AbstractYotis, (Loyola University, Hines, Ill.), and Stanke. Bacteriostatic action of progesterone on staphylococci and other microorganisms. J. Bacteriol. 92:1285–1289. 1966.—Progesterone has been examined in vitro for antibacterial activity against 10 microorganisms. Turbidimetric and manometric techniques were used to assay the antibacterial activity of progesterone. The organisms tested consisted of Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Gaffkya tetragena, Bacillus subtilis, Listeria monocytogenes, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Aerobacter aerogenes, Salmonella paratyphi, and Proteus vulgaris. Antibacterial action was shown by progesterone only against the gram-positive microorganisms when they were grown in tryptic soy broth containing 10 to 20 μg of progesterone per ml. Pregnenolone, 4-pregnen-20β-ol-3-one, and 5α-pregnane also possessed antistaphylococcal properties, whereas pregnanolone, pregnandione, 11α-hydroxyprogesterone, and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone did not. The bacteriostatic action of progesterone on staphylococci was exerted primarily during the first 8 hr of incubation, and it was reduced in the presence of oxygen. In the presence of 20 μg of progesterone per ml, there was significant reduction in the oxidation by resting staphylococcal suspensions or utilization by staphylococci of pyruvate as an energy source during growth.
