MRSA

September 13, 2006

Hi Jayson

Sorry you're having a bout with MRSA. I haven't had it, but I used to

have patients who did. The antibiotics they have you on will take care

of the problem. Can happen to anyone who has a break in the skin

surface, have an older friend who has no chronic disease and he got

this infection from a rose thorn prick to the hand.

Unpleasant, but treatable. Hope you feel better quickly. -

years ago i always had skin problems no doctors could link my skin problems with

pain. i worked at an animal hosp. and i had a " rash " on my elbow. i caught a

staph infection. whole arm swelled up had to go to hosp. medications the works.

yes, it will heal.. cant imagine on back. whole arm was bad enough. hang in

there.

Hi all,

Anyone here ever had their P get infected with Staph? This happened to me over

the last 2 weeks, worst abscess being on my tailbone. I just got home from being

transported by ambulance to the ER where they worked on it. I guess what I want

is a success story of someone healing from it. I'm so miserable I can barely

handle it <whining over>. Anyway, I'm on 2 different antibiotics, and they gave

me Vicodin, but I won't take that...it makes me sick, so Tyelnol it is.

Anyone?

I think your son should run, not walk to a physician who practices Complementary, or Alternative or Integrated medicine. There are many things other than antibiotics which can be used to destroy MRSA. I know. After a heart surgery, I had it in my entire chest, and heart with horrible pus pouring from my sternal wound which completely opened up and could not be closed because the tissue was just so weakened.

I used high dose IV Vitamin C to great good effect. Also, ingestion of a high quality colloidal silver is often life saving when antibiotics have failed. It may now be available for IV use as silver is being incorporated into medical/surgical products. It will kill over 600 different bacteria including MRSA and anthrax in six minutes flat.

Another option which a physician could advise on is hydrogen peroxide therapy. Don't drink it!!!! Some people do-not advisable.

I think your son should be on a program established by a Dr and he WILL be greatly improved. If he then follows recommendations for strengthening his immune system and adds LDN, I feel sure he will make great strides toward wellness.

Only non-traditional medical practitioners will provide these very effective treatments.

Your son could very much so benefit from LDN and strengthening his

immune system by detoxing it. Mot people feel awful while detoxing

the body. With all the antibiotics I'd bet he has an overload of

yeast. Your son should order YeastMax & CleanseMax from the link

below and do those first and later do the ParaMax and KidneyMax listed

in the link below. These are wonderful products and used by some of

us on this forum.

I don't know if your son's staph is a different sort, but LarryGC has

posted many times about his experience with staph and LDN. This is

the most recent one...#46474 from 2/16/07.

" Like when I got my staph infection my podiatrist said was IMPOSSIBLE

(I told him I had it for SIX WEEKS). I was exposed to it the end of

August, apparently the LDN kept it at bay, battled it, gave it a good

fight, and then mid October lost the war. Foot just blew up. I was

given

Levaquin 500 MG to START. I was told to come back in 48 hours. I took

2

levaquins at that point, as well as my daily LDN.

The podiatrist said now he's seen two IMPOSSIBLE things. He said he's

in practice 23 years and NEVER saw a 48 hour turnaround, reversal and

retreat, especially of this DEADLY staph infection he couldn't

believe I

was exposed to 6 weeks earlier, he said it HAD to be within the last

WEEK, HAD to be.

I KNOW when I got it, my first night camping back in August, 6 weeks

earlier. I Just thought my feet were wet from the rains and walking

around that night, but it itched worse than a mosquito bite. I got

home

and put powder on it and thought it was going away.

So anyway, he shows me what it should have done, what it's done

within

48 hours with every other patient with this type of initial reaction,

and then showed me my Referral to the hospital for IV treatment that

he

fully expected for me to need.

He determined that the LDN kept the staph to a certain level, when it

lost that, the Levaquin was like giving nails to an air hammer. For

six

weeks they were just shooting blanks. When I went back for each

subsequent check up he kept saying he never saw this immune reaction

before and was quite impressed. "

Hi

My sister has a generalized autoimmune disorder that has manifested

itself with multiple repeated chronic infections, bladder issues,

chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, weird cysts and non-malignant tumors

and . . .

She has been on LDN for a year now and has found that most of the

issues have disappeared. She has had only two infections since going

on the LDN and they were both shared with other people in the family,

not just hers.

There is some recent research on multiple antibiotic therapies (IV)

for MRSA which seems to work fairly well, even in the antibiotic

resistant strains. The LDN will not hurt him and the improvement in

his overall well-being and health can only help.

hi, jo,

i'm not ellen, but i happen to have buhner's book Herbal Antibiotics on my

antibiotic-resistant microbes. " he lists microbes and herbal suggestions for

each. great book for your reference shelf :-)

enjoy,

Thanks for the info you shared. I'm wondering if you're aware of whether

Buhner has recommended any herb for the MRSA bacteria? I wonder if he

believes andrographis is effective against it? Don't we love our herbs

March 3, 2007

Hi Jo,

I've never read anything by Buhner about MRSA.

There was an interesting piece (I think on BBC) a while ago, that they

have " discovered " honey is a very good antibiotic against those

strains which are resistant to pharmaceutical abx.

Well... what do these children have that's caused by MRSA? Cause

according to what I read a few percent of people in the population are

MRSA colonized... but it doesn't harm them at present. Of course, if

they get into some kind of severely weakened state that favors staph

sepsis, or get a bone injury that leads to staph osteomyelitis,

perhaps they will wish they hadn't been carrying MRSA. But what can

authorities do about a few percent of the normal population being

colonized with MRSA? Basically nothing. Are you gonna treat every

benignly colonized person with a zillion dollars worth of vancomycin?

That's a non-starter. It's unaffordable and anyway it will just create

vanco-resistant MRSA, which will then kill every single person who

gets it as sepsis in the hospital.

All you can do is try to reduce the selection for MRSA. Perhaps using

less abx for colds would be / will be helpful in that way.

These children have abx resistant skin infections which are spreading from child to child rapidly. Increasing by hundreds of thousands per year. Skin infections which can't be treated effectively. And no one sees this as a problem? You're right pondering future probloem scenarios like osteomyelitis. Do you think these bugs will stop at their skin? What's going to happen when they get their first root canal, or broken bone, or in a car accident which creates just enough of an opening in a weak spot for those bacteria to exploit? , you need to get out of the library once in a while and take a look around the neighborhood. :-) penny <usenethod@...> wrote: Well... what do these children have that's caused by MRSA?

You mean boils, or what?

Ahhhwm... you got a reference on the increasing prevalence of those

boils? I'd go get some firsthand info around the neighborhood except

I'm still here in Atlanta with Tony participating in that top secret

study.

August 9, 2007

Lol! I'll have to dig around. Like I said, every so often the American Pediatric Society comes out sounding the alarms, but it goes mostly unnoticed, except for the occasional follow up story on the local evening news where they have sensational headlines advertising the scary bacterial outbreak at 6. Trying to find the real scoop on what they're so freaked out about is a lot more difficult. I don't even know what particular studies they're referring to. But they obviously compile data of which illnesses are affecting children and the numbers. They talk about the exponentially rapid increase in staph infections among kids and then stress that more research is needed to fight these infections. It makes me crazy that these Press Releases are made, and are then wholly ignored by anyone who could do anything about educating the

public. The best we get is "don't abuse antibiotics", like it's somehow our fault that our docs are irresponsible with treatment. penny <usenethod@...> wrote: > These children have abx resistant skin infections which arespreading from child to child rapidly.

I know it sounds ridiculous but Manuka honey has recently cured a really bad

sore on my friends son's leg.. here is an article about the curative

properties of this honey from New Zealand.. It has cured my sore throat and

we are giving it to our ASD grandson for bacteria and well like I said it

sounds pretty much like one of those " too good to be true thingys " so I am

still optimistically hesitant. I also bought the toothpaste and my tongue

A friend of mine with a 4 year old autistic child was diagnosed with

MRSA today. He is on antibiotics (clyndomyacin) and I have given

her ideas on what else to do naturally. The ideas I have given her

are:

garlic

olive leaf extract

epsom salt baths

probiotics (extra - he already takes some)

GSE (on site)

Tea tree oil (on site)

Coconut oil (on site)

Vit C

Magnesium

Zinc

He is gf/cf right now. She is expecting to see a DAN! soon but at

this time has no tests that would adequately assess his immune

status. Does anyone have any other advice that would be useful?

Thank you so much!

Not ridiculous at all! Unprocessed honey has been known for its

enzymatic and antibacterial properties for generations. Good to hear

people are still using it.

Hi,

I for one am a perfect example that anyone can get a staph infection. I had a

very severe staph infection in the crease of one of my arms last October 2006. I

went to the doctor for a very itchy rash that seemed to be leeking fluid. They

did a skin culture. Turns out I had a very severe staph infection. It had to be

on antibiotics (keflex) for 2 weeks, be rechecked . It took three complete

rounds of keflex to kill it. In all I took keflex for 6 weeks total each time

the dosage got raised. It was a scary time for me. I thought I was going to give

it to my son and everyone around me. Turns out I was the only one who got it

thankfully. Where and how i got it still remains a mystery. I had not been in a

any hospitals, had not been sick or been in contact with anyone sick either.

Several weeks after it was gone. I came down with the worst case of the flu I

had ever had . I ended up the er. Turns out I had influenza. I was sick in bed

for two weeks with it. I always thopugh

it was kind of bizarre to get the staph infection then come down very sick with

a few weeks of stopping the keflex. never do I want it again. it was horrible.

November 1, 2007

That sounds like a terrible time for you, so sorry!

Welcome to our " clean " world of antibiotic hand soaps, body soaps,

antibiotic cleansing wipes for the bathroom and kitchen. Of course these

bugs are going to mutate and get stronger. Oh, and years of unnecessary

antibiotics being prescribed and those who don't finish the course the MD's

do prescribe.

I had strep last year and a round of penicillin did not take care of it,

thus another round with Keflex to kill it. Such a common bug seen in lots

of school age kids (though my kids didn't get it!).....

These bugs are only going to get stronger.

I will get off my soapbox now...

My son a had a staph infection in his blood stream and had to be put on

antibotics for it when he was just 13 mos. They came accross it by accident

they took blood for something else and came back that he had that. They told me

you can catch a staph infection from anywhere. You can get it from the cart at

the grocery store, or from touching a tray after someone who had it did. It is

very easily caught and hard to get rid of.
