Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Is it for sure bacterial infeciton? If it turned out to be fungus in nasal infection rather than bacterial, wouldn't honey make a fungal infection worse? > > > I am considering trying a manuka honey in water or in salt water mix > and spray it into nose. this is an experiment, but might it work?, > especially if it is as good as antibiotics in tests? > > I ahve been on 9 months of amoxiciallan/the wrong antibiotics and > think more antibitotics at the moment might not be good. > > amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Hi Amy, The NeilMed sinus rinse combines salt with sodium bicarbonate, to eliminate any chance of burning or stinging delicate nasal and sinus membranes. While it can be used in a neti pot, you will get more propulsion force going into your sinuses by using the 8 ounce squeeze bottle that comes with the individual packets of the above combo. Honey, of any variety, is a TOPICAL antibiotic ONLY, and should never be put inside your nose, for any reason, as you could choke on it, in your sleep, and die. A topical antibiotic will only treat a topical (SKIN) infection. What you have, is much worse. I don't recommend trying to cure ANY type of MRSA with ANY type of honey. Remember to follow the doxycycline precautions about avoiding dairy products and antacids, for the proper amount of time, both BEFORE and AFTER taking the doxycycline. This includes spacing any calcium supplements far enough away from the time you take your doxycycline. If you fail to do this, the positive effect of the doxycycline is TOTALLY destroyed. Your dilemma of what to treat FIRST, is easily solved. Do what the triage nurse does, in the hospital emergency room. TREAT FIRST WHAT CAN KILL YOU - then, later, treat the other stuff. If your have TWO ailments that can kill you, like MRSA and LYME, then treat FIRST the ailment than can kill you FASTER (MRSA) - then, later, treat the ailment that can kill you SLOWER (LYME). I'm not telling you to stop your lyme treatments. I'm just saying that the MRSA is a thousand times more deadly than lyme. Yes, hospitals are a great place to CATCH MRSA. But, once you already have MRSA, the only place that you can get the proper treatment, to cure it, is in the hospital. Most of the extremely strong antibiotics required to cure you, are available ONLY IN INTRAVENOUS FORM, not in pill form. And the hospital is the only place where blood tests can monitor daily, whether the medicines are working, or whether a different antibiotic should be administered.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 This is a new FAST blood test to confirm that a person has an MRSA infection. Thought the test was approved by the FDA over ten months ago, it's likely that most doctors have not used it yet, and will try to get you to take the older, slower, MORE EXPENSIVE, MRSA blood test. So be sure that your doctor knows what he is doing. Most don't. Joe ............................................. FDA OKs 1st Quick MRSA Blood Test BD GeneOhm Test Delivers Results in 2 Hours, Says FDABy Miranda Hitti WebMD Health News Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD Jan. 2, 2008 -- The FDA today announced that it has cleared for marketing the first rapid blood test for MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), a drug-resistant staph bacterium that can cause deadly infections. The new MRSA blood test -- called the BD GeneOhm StaphSR assay -- delivers results in two hours. Other tests take several days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Maybe teatree oil steam would help. I have used that from time to time not for MRSA but colds/bronchitis when they start to come on. Just simmer 1/4 inch of water in a pot, when startng to boil turn off the flame and drop in about 10 drops of teatree and immediately inhale the potent steam through one nostril, then the other. Then I would turn my head and let the steam go into my ears. The volatile oil only lasts a brief time so you have to be quick about it. Teatree (melaluca) kills about everything. Get a good brand--such as Nature's Gift online, steeam distilled etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
