The culture was done Friday and we got the results today. He did go to his Dad's and he didn't even give him the Keflex orginally perscribed.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Dear Edith, Cancel the trip to his Dad. Bag the leg every three hours for 30 minutes, for a total of 5 times per day. If you have ozonated olive oil, put it on between bagging. Avoid drugs, which will not cure it anyway. Best of Health!

You might also want to try CS. Drinking as well as washing the wound with it. MRSA is a staph bacteria that has developed a resistance to methicillin. Even tho it is hard to treat there are a few antibiotics that will cure it. Chances are, with the right antibiotic given early enough (not as a way of life, but only for the infection), he will be fine. The reason I mention this is because you said he was going to be going to his father's, and I don't know if you will have access to him to do the bagging. Be aware there can be serious consequences as a serious case can cause a UTI, pneumonia, toxic shock syndrome, and even death. Be smart. MRSA doens't usually cause problems for a healthy person. Weekend immune system will contribute to it. Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Well, I hope this helps. I just got done listening to Dr. Cass Ingram on the Power Hour Show that his product Germ-a-Clenz has been proven in a study to destroy MRSA. Joyce Riley (show host) asked him to restate what he had just said to make sure that she heard that right and he said it will completely destroy it. I wrote it down in my notebook for the giggles of it in case I ever needed the info. Looks like I needed the info. <grin> You can get the product through the Power Hour here http://www.thepowermall.com/oreganoproducts/clenz.htm or you can call them at 1-877-817-9829. They just put this stuff on sale for today and tomorrow only at 20% off. I hope this is ok to do on this list and that I didn't break any of the rules. I have nothing to do with the sale of any of their products. I just like to listening to them and using some of their items.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Dear Christel, The easiest way to treat it would be with 3% hydrogen peroxide.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Since it not an open wound, use a carrier. DMSO works great as a carrier. Mix maybe 20% or 30% DMSO with the rest colloidal silver. DMSO acts as an agent that can get through the skin and take things with it, to deeper areas of the body. Be sure to clean the skin well, as anything on the skin will also be carried into the body with the DMSO. It dries the skin, so you can apply aloe vera, or emu oil to the skin. DMSO will also make you smell fishy, but you can get a non smelly kind. Try at _www.jeffersequine.com_ (http://www.jeffersequine.com) . I know you can mix DMSO with Colloidal Silver. Not sure how it mixes with hydrogen peroxide though. Anyone know?

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Dear Kat, It is not a good idea to mix DMSO with H2O2. There have been reports of problems with that combination.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 My boys have had repeat cellulitis-we use Epi-Clenz -- I'd have to go grab a bottle, but I think it is effective against MRSA---- Make sure you wash all of their cuts and scrapes.that's the only advice I can offer. Peace be with you, Pattie Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. ~Mother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 We are in Tulsa and there are 13 +confirmed cases. I am thinking the same thing. I have not heard it addressed anywhere. BARBIE MRSA Im sure everyone has been hearing the reports about school related MRSA. My kids go to a small charter school, and the public school across the street from their school has a confirmed case of MRSA. Often, the younger kids who go to the charter have older siblings in the high schools locally. this is the third school relatively close to us with a confirmed case. I dont want to freak out, but having three kids with CVID has left me a little bit on the freaked side of caution. Is this something to panic about? I keep reminding my kids about handwashing, WITH SOAP(you know little boys!) and staying away from kids who seem sick. I dont know that there is anything else I can do. But reading the news reports surely makes me nervous. valarie <!-- #ygrp-mkp{ border:1px solid #d8d8d8;font-family:Arial;margin:14px 0px;padding:0px 14px;} #ygrp-mkp hr{ border:1px solid #d8d8d8;} #ygrp-mkp #hd{ color:#628c2a;font-size:85%;font-weight:bold;line-height:122%;margin:10px 0px;} #ygrp-mkp #ads{ margin-bottom:10px;} #ygrp-mkp .ad{ padding:0 0;} #ygrp-mkp .ad a{ color:#0000ff;text-decoration:none;} --> <!-- #ygrp-sponsor #ygrp-lc{ font-family:Arial;} #ygrp-sponsor #ygrp-lc #hd{ margin:10px 0px;font-weight:bold;font-size:78%;line-height:122%;} #ygrp-sponsor #ygrp-lc .ad{ margin-bottom:10px;padding:0 0;} --> <!-- #ygrp-mlmsg {font-size:13px;font-family:arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;} #ygrp-mlmsg table {font-size:inherit;font:100%;} #ygrp-mlmsg select, input, textarea {font:99% arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;} #ygrp-mlmsg pre, code {font:115% monospace;} #ygrp-mlmsg * {line-height:1.22em;} #ygrp-text{ font-family:Georgia; } #ygrp-text p{ margin:0 0 1em 0;} #ygrp-tpmsgs{ font-family:Arial; clear:both;} #ygrp-vitnav{ padding-top:10px;font-family:Verdana;font-size:77%;margin:0;} #ygrp-vitnav a{ padding:0 1px;} #ygrp-actbar{ clear:both;margin:25px 0;white-space:nowrap;color:#666;text-align:right;} #ygrp-actbar .left{ float:left;white-space:nowrap;} ..bld{font-weight:bold;} #ygrp-grft{ font-family:Verdana;font-size:77%;padding:15px 0;} #ygrp-ft{ font-family:verdana;font-size:77%;border-top:1px solid #666; padding:5px 0; } #ygrp-mlmsg #logo{ padding-bottom:10px;} #ygrp-vital{ background-color:#e0ecee;margin-bottom:20px;padding:2px 0 8px 8px;} #ygrp-vital #vithd{ font-size:77%;font-family:Verdana;font-weight:bold;color:#333;text-transform:upp\ ercase;} #ygrp-vital ul{ padding:0;margin:2px 0;} #ygrp-vital ul li{ list-style-type:none;clear:both;border:1px solid #e0ecee; } #ygrp-vital ul li .ct{ font-weight:bold;color:#ff7900;float:right;width:2em;text-align:right;padding-ri\ ght:.5em;} #ygrp-vital ul li .cat{ font-weight:bold;} #ygrp-vital a{ text-decoration:none;} #ygrp-vital a:hover{ text-decoration:underline;} #ygrp-sponsor #hd{ color:#999;font-size:77%;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov{ padding:6px 13px;background-color:#e0ecee;margin-bottom:20px;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov ul{ padding:0 0 0 8px;margin:0;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov li{ list-style-type:square;padding:6px 0;font-size:77%;} #ygrp-sponsor #ov li a{ text-decoration:none;font-size:130%;} #ygrp-sponsor #nc{ background-color:#eee;margin-bottom:20px;padding:0 8px;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad{ padding:8px 0;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad #hd1{ font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;color:#628c2a;font-size:100%;line-height:122%\ ;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad a{ text-decoration:none;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad a:hover{ text-decoration:underline;} #ygrp-sponsor .ad p{ margin:0;} o{font-size:0;} ..MsoNormal{ margin:0 0 0 0;} #ygrp-text tt{ font-size:120%;} blockquote{margin:0 0 0 4px;} ..replbq{margin:4;} --> __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 I will tell you what we have worked out at the school, as well as with the dr. All of 's classes have hand sanitizer and the kids use it when they come in each class, as well as when they leave. has a small bottle in his pocket. Since it gets into cuts, he also has a ziploc of different size band-aids he keeps with him. The school has educated the children about it and everyone knows that if they get a cut, they need a bandaid. They have done this on their own, I just found out last week when I talked to and gave him the bandaids and bottle of sanitizer. The school nurse called ME to ask for advice on how to handle the situation, since she is also pregnant and has to be careful. I love his school! @...: mother5590@...: Tue, 6 Nov 2007 05:34:02 -0800Subject: Re: MRSA We are in Tulsa and there are 13 +confirmed cases. I am thinking the same thing.

I dont know that there is anything else I can do.But reading the news reports surely makes me nervous.valarie<!--#ygrp-mkp{border:1px solid #d8d8d8;font-family:Arial;margin:14px 0px;padding:0px 14px;}#ygrp-mkp hr{border:1px solid #d8d8d8;}#ygrp-mkp #hd{color:#628c2a;font-size:85%;font-weight:bold;line-height:122%;margin:10px 0px;}#ygrp-mkp #ads{margin-bottom:10px;}#ygrp-mkp .ad{padding:0 0;}#ygrp-mkp .ad a{color:#0000ff;text-decoration:none;}--><!--#ygrp-sponsor #ygrp-lc{font-family:Arial;}#ygrp-sponsor #ygrp-lc #hd{margin:10px 0px;font-weight:bold;font-size:78%;line-height:122%;}#ygrp-sponsor #ygrp-lc ..ad{margin-bottom:10px;padding:0 0;}--><!--#ygrp-mlmsg {font-size:13px;font-family:arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;}#ygrp-mlmsg table {font-size:inherit;font:100%;}#ygrp-mlmsg select, input, textarea {font:99% arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;}#ygrp-mlmsg pre, code {font:115% monospace;}#ygrp-mlmsg * {line-height:1.22em;}#ygrp-text{font-family:Georgia;}#ygrp-text p{margin:0 0 1em 0;}#ygrp-tpmsgs{font-family:Arial;clear:both;}#ygrp-vitnav{padding-top:10px;font\ -family:Verdana;font-size:77%;margin:0;}#ygrp-vitnav a{padding:0 1px;}#ygrp-actbar{clear:both;margin:25px 0;white-space:nowrap;color:#666;text-align:right;}#ygrp-actbar ..left{float:left;white-space:nowrap;}.bld{font-weight:bold;}#ygrp-grft{font-fami\ ly:Verdana;font-size:77%;padding:15px 0;}#ygrp-ft{font-family:verdana;font-size:77%;border-top:1px solid #666;padding:5px 0;}#ygrp-mlmsg #logo{padding-bottom:10px;}#ygrp-vital{background-color:#e0ecee;margin-bottom:20\ px;padding:2px 0 8px 8px;}#ygrp-vital #vithd{font-size:77%;font-family:Verdana;font-weight:bold;color:#333;text-transf\ orm:uppercase;}#ygrp-vital ul{padding:0;margin:2px 0;}#ygrp-vital ul li{list-style-type:none;clear:both;border:1px solid #e0ecee;}#ygrp-vital ul li ..ct{font-weight:bold;color:#ff7900;float:right;width:2em;text-align:right;paddin\ g-right:.5em;}#ygrp-vital ul li .cat{font-weight:bold;}#ygrp-vital a{text-decoration:none;}#ygrp-vital a:hover{text-decoration:underline;}#ygrp-sponsor #hd{color:#999;font-size:77%;}#ygrp-sponsor #ov{padding:6px 13px;background-color:#e0ecee;margin-bottom:20px;}#ygrp-sponsor #ov ul{padding:0 0 0 8px;margin:0;}#ygrp-sponsor #ov li{list-style-type:square;padding:6px 0;font-size:77%;}#ygrp-sponsor #ov li a{text-decoration:none;font-size:130%;}#ygrp-sponsor #nc{background-color:#eee;margin-bottom:20px;padding:0 8px;}#ygrp-sponsor ..ad{padding:8px 0;}#ygrp-sponsor .ad #hd1{font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;color:#628c2a;font-size:100%;line-height\ :122%;}#ygrp-sponsor .ad a{text-decoration:none;}#ygrp-sponsor .ad a:hover{text-decoration:underline;}#ygrp-sponsor .ad p{margin:0;}o{font-size:0;}.MsoNormal{margin:0 0 0 0;}#ygrp-text tt{font-size:120%;}blockquote{margin:0 0 0 4px;}.replbq{margin:4;}-->__________________________________________________Do You ?Tired of spam? has the best spam protection around http://mail.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 I will tell you what we have worked out at the school, as well as with the dr. All of 's classes have hand sanitizer and the kids use it when they come in each class, as well as when they leave. has a small bottle in his pocket. Since it gets into cuts, he also has a ziploc of different size band-aids he keeps with him. The school has educated the children about it and everyone knows that if they get a cut, they need a bandaid. They have done this on their own, I just found out last week when I talked to and gave him the bandaids and bottle of sanitizer. The school nurse called ME to ask for advice on how to handle the situation, since she is also pregnant and has to be careful. I love his school! @...: mother5590@...: Tue, 6 Nov 2007 05:34:02 -0800Subject: Re: MRSA We are in Tulsa and there are 13 +confirmed cases. I am thinking the same thing.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 This is referencing a posting a few days ago. Sorry I'm behind in responding but wanted to get this out there. I've discovered and have received medical confirmation, that using Hibiclens daily is a GREAT way to fight skin infections. You can get it from any pharmacy but you'll probably have to pay for it. I got a big ol' honking bottle for about $14 today. After using soap in the shower, I use the Hibiclens all over, and let it sit on the skin for a couple of minutes. Rinse, and you're good to go. If it dries the skin, then just use any normal moisturizer after the shower. I've been AMAZED how much better My skin has been! I asked my HIV doc about it and he says he does it all the time. I wish I would have known this years ago, and saved myself and my skin a lot of wear and tear. **************Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 So sorry she is having such a bummer of a year. Amazing she has been able to stay in school through all of this. I hope they can get a handle on everything soon.

The bottom site started draining Sunday and looked really nasty. So we went to have it swabbed. They also did blood work and cultures. The blood work came back ok, blood cultures clear but the wound culture has now shown positive for MRSA. We knew Sunday that it was a gram positive from the stat gram stain that was done. After conferring with her doctor in Atlanta the ER doc sent her home on Clindamycin. The sensitivities today showed it was resistant to that and was MRSA. So the ped changed her antibiotic to Septra and she starts all over again. We will treat for 10 days. Keep the wound covered and hope for the best. Monday we're back at Egleston for a capsule endoscopy. The surgeon has said he wants to come over that morning and have a look at it. She will wear the endoscopy pack all day and then have it removed that afternoon in the GI lab. Hopefully this might show an area the GI doc couldn't get to during the upper and lower endoscopies and why she has lost so much weight and has the stomach pain and loose stools. Oh and on top of all of this she has finals this week. Figures huh ! Ursula - mom to (16) and Macey (13,CVID) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I want to mention too that when I say the ER doc spoke to the doctor in Atlanta it was her immunologist not her surgeon that was called. We felt better about knowing that her immunologist would remember the ins and outs of why a skin infection could be more of an issue with her than with the average surgical patient. I don't always know that her surgeon or some of her other specialists remember she has a PID. This was our choice. The ER doc said he would defer to whomever wanted to call the shots from Atlanta. It has come down to the surgeon and the immunologist having different opinions over what should be done. I've listened to both but now that our ped is onboard (because she wasn't on call this weekend and I knew her covering doc had no clue about Macey) we will go with her decisions. True to form (and why we love her) by the time we got there today our ped had faxed the final cultures to the immunologist and had figured out the next step to cover the MRSA. We are so blessed.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Ursula, How is Macey doing? I hope the antibiotics are clearing up the infection. Conner has had similar issues and it can be very scary. I'm sorry that Macey has been having such a tough time lately. I hope she is handling it all okay. Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
