I have talked to 2 different ND's and they both said colloidal silver for getting rid of any staph infection. Has anyone had experience with this?

YES!! I have a ND that says the same thing. Nature's Sunshine has recently come out with a colloidal silver GEL that is great for these types of things.....

Thank you so much and AMEN. The all day long treatments and such get tiring but I know it is working. Hubby gets discouraged that just when we think it's almost over a new one pops up. I told him that from what i read, even on drs. treatments people can deal with them over a YEAR!

Just wanted to say that you are in my prayers--we dealt with this for almost a full year--3 kiddos with it! You are doing a wonderful job--be diligent (as you are) and just think, you are one day closer to it being all over with--Amen?!?!

After reading some of the posts and other threads on this subject, I have decided to work on a new plan of treatment. If anyone has any thoughts I would appreciate any input. We have 8 in our family. Currently 1 has 3 bumps with little heads on them, 4 have bumps without heads and seem to be going away with tea tree oil, and the other 3 have no symptoms. My thought is to treat the whole family--GSE orally 3 times a day, Colloidal Silver orally 2 times a day, swab noses with colloidal silver 2 times a day, wipe down all bumps with GSE, then tea tree oil and bandaid with colloidal silver. I'm also giving liquid chlorophyll, zinc, MSM, Berry Well and raw honey. Laundry is being done with vinegar, GSE, and baking soda in very hot water. Surfaces are being sprayed at least 2 times a day with all purpose cleaner with added GSE, lavender oil and tea tree oil. I just got in some TTU (should I wait until we are done with the GSE and colloidal silver to give this or do it along with it?) Like I said I would appreciate any advice. I just feel like "it's not normal to get little bumps" and I'm tired of it! I know that God is in control--I do want to do what I can to eliminate this from our family as best I can. Thanks for your help!

Momma, how did this course of treatment work for you all? We've had MRSA colonization in our family for more than 8 years now, and in the last two years, the frequency of outbreaks has really stepped up (mostly me up until recently, when others joined me). Now 18 mo ds is being attacked, too, and while he hasn't had any bad systemic battles yet, I'm afraid it's only a matter of time as the boils keep after him.

I've treated it topically with just about everything named in this thread (except bentonite - I think that's next). Currently, on advice from ND, I'm using a hydrastis nasal spray mixed 50/50 with colloidal silver. Internally, using a tincture of wormwood, garlic, usnea, St. John's wort, and Siberian ginseng (also ND advised; also mixing tincture with a little raw honey for poultices). Have been on this course of treatment for 2 months, and while it does seem to keep "big" outbreaks under control, the little boils are popping up frequently, and my nose is still not completely healed of its chronic lesions (inside).

My main question for you is particularly regarding the internal GSE use. I've used it internally short term, but have been hesitant to use it long term. How much, how long did you use it, and did you find it interfering with your probiotics? Or have you come up with any other things that would be easier than others to give to little ones internally (also treating a 4 yodd here)? I have not used colloidal silver internally, either; I'll research it - but in short, that's o.k. for kiddos?

I also caught someone mentioned negatively the lancing of boils; I've not come across this before - reasons? While the lancing is quite painful, it also gives relief and speeds healing, in my experience.

I also don't remember seeing anyone else mention it, so I'll add here that we've also had good results (for boils that have not abscessed) using epsom salt poultices - just plain epsom salt slurried with a tiny bit of water, changed 2-3 times/day.

Hi S Bug
I recently went through this with my little ones. I am also the one that mentioned negatively about lancing boils. My husband did alot of research on MRSA (online) when this started and he read from a CDC dr. that the worse thing they do in the hospitals is lance the wound because it actually causes it (or can cause it) to spread and possibly go deeper. That is also why MRSA cases end up MORE serious in hospitals. I read to not pop it or scratch it-like a spiderbite-don't spread the venom.
Also I had my kids and I long term on GSE (about 2 months) and I never noticed anything negative- no stomach problems or sickness. My kids also drink kefir regularly so that may help.
anyways. Thought i'd share.

Thanks, KN. Do you remember the dosage and frequency you used with the GSE? Were you completely successful in getting the outbreaks under control? We use kefir and yogurt frequently and supplement with TTU when needed. How young was your youngest you used GSE on?

We haven't sought treatment (or even been in a hospital/clinic except when I recently had a nose culture by ND to confirm MRSA) for years; have just been handling it at home. When we reach the point of lancing, the abscess is already quite deep and many-channeled, and it has always turned the infection around, noticeably, right away. Of course, we're very careful about sterilization and containment - not that professionals aren't careful; it probably has to do as much with follow-up treatment as with the lancing itself. Draining the yuck gives the tissue the opportunity to focus on healing rather than containing? Makes me hmmm about whether it's the procedure or the setting and follow-up care....

Makes me wonder about what goes on in those hospitals also!! i just always read cases of it going bad when they go to the ER!!
well my youngest was 18mos when I started the GSE. I gave a dropperful (reg size tincture bottle? don't have the measurement at the moment) of GSE/Water (that's 60drops of Nutribiotic in a quart of water) 4 times a day. also i put it in a nasal spray bottle and squirt each nostril 3 times a day PLUS i added GSE to a bottle of castile soap and washed them with that everyday. Sounds overkill but the recommendation to get rid of it completely is now a prescription antibiotic up the nose and a special antibiotic body wash. so i just made my own. Seemed to work. they have been boil free for over a month now. course just about every open wound gets scrutinized and tea treed now. Roll Eyes

Hope that helps a bit.
I never got an official diagnosis either but my mil's kid who got it from my kids DID take her in and get it tested and it was MRSA and the family that we got it from new it was MRSA so we just assumed and treated as such.

Very helpful, KN - thank you! Will try your ratios. Once when I ran out of hydrastis, I combined the colloidal silver with the GSE nasal spray recipe from ...oh, someone...somewhere here (I can't remember whose), and whoa - it was way overpowerful...maybe it was the added vit C powder (Nutribiotic spray never bothered me). So here's hoping/praying...

Thank you - yes, actually I just added the turmeric mid-day on Thursday. I did not notice it affecting the boils I had (one new, one largely established), but have continued to give it a fair test. Interestingly, I did a liver/gallbladder flush (following Bekah's #5 regimen) on Tuesday through Thursday, which ended up being about 60 hours of fasting (except for the yummy grapefruit/epsom/olive oil cocktails), and my nose lesion significantly improved over that time. Hmmm...may be a correlation? I have not cut out all forms of sugar (still use honey or maple syrup with hot cereal, occasional snack)...something to test, I'm sure...or maybe something else dietary.

Case in point, too, on lancing: one boil did need lancing, and as soon as it was done, there was immediate relief and healing; it did not even require more than one drainage session (and it's in a very - um - unsanitary...location). Tongue

All kiddos and hubby are on the GSE regimen: internally 3x/day, nasal spray 3x/day, and probiotics in between. Will be adding EFAs and enzymes when they arrive next week to further boost our immune systems...as well as regular supplications to the Lord for healing. The additional challenge will be flying and vacationing for 2 1/2 weeks while trying to keep all this up! Wink

this should answer your questions... http://www.ochealthinfo.com/epi/mrsa/providers.htm

No, mrsa is unrelated to leprosy. It is not resistant to hand-sanitizer or bleach.

I have been reading this thread with interest. The above statement that MRSA is NOT resistant to bleach I found very interesting. Although it is by far not a natural remedy, I wonder how many people with MRSA would benefit from bathing with water and a squirt of bleach in it???

IMO it would be worth a try for any skin problem. (There is something about this on a ?oxgen bath thread?)

I really hope someone will be willing to give me an opinion on this. My neice, 14 had MRSA about 7 months ago. I dont' believe they acutally tested just assumed. They told her after 6 months they could not worry about it any more. Well, March was 6 months and then day b/f yesterday my sister noticed the pimply things like bf and now the knots. Again they aren't going to test b/c they say they would have to cut on her for a good culture. My question is this. She has pretty bad allergies so I had told my sis about the Vit C flush so they did it on Saturday and now day b/f yesterday she starts this again. Could it be MRSA but her body is detoxing it out? And would another flush help her? Not that I could convince my sis but I am just wondering and of course I would try.

Hi All,
It has been a long time since I hae been on the WTM site. But I was the original Craig7 that started this MRSA post. It is 3 years later, 3 children later and a new house/e-mail. I am now RACE3 and now have a 6 mo who has a MRSA spot on his chubby thigh!!!!

I read these answers and have done most of these "treatments", but we are still heading to the doctors this afternoon to probably get the spot lanced because it is so big and deep and growing so quickly. This information may not help me right now, but am I just not aggressive enough or diligent enough with the natural remedies to make a difference??? The bentonite clay help me just this week with a bee sting (no swelling or redness or pain after the initial sting!!!!) I thought it woudl be great on the spot, but it is still not draining.

It seems like I go from remedy to remedy, try them all a little, then nothing works. Is there some type of standard to follow?? How do you know when to go to the medical side of things. My son is so young and this stuff can get so bad so fast...scary!!!

So my question is...How do I know which treatment to use and how long/often do I use it? or do you just try them all and hope for the best???

A few days ago, I put a short post out about my other sons facial ringworm which still has not responded to Shoshanna's Garden, TeaTree Oil, or even the Lotrimin I decided to try. At a loss with these "skin issues."

Any thoughts from a more experienced "natural remedies user" would be helpful. Our children a very young so their "input" in how they feel is not very helpful!!!!

Sadly, I have ignored this thread for some time now--just seemed like once we were done seeing boils I really did not want to read anymore about it! I just wanted to encourage anyone going through this to read through this thread and then pray for God to give you direction. There is no "one way" to treat this and only God knows what will work for your family. We have been without a boil for 1 year 2 mos. I still believe we experience staph "bumps", but nothing our bodies can't seem to handle on the their own. I did put our family on the anti-candida diet for my dd's sake. She had been on Vancomycin, Bactroban and Clendamycin and her yeast was terrrible!!! Six months of really just boosting our immune systems, killing the yeast and replacing the good bacteria with probiotics. I would highly recommend it for any of you who have had to be on the antibiotics for the MRSA. You can PM me if you want more detailed info on the regimen I used. Race3--I'm praying for your family and please feel free to PM me if I can be of any help! I can't tell you what an encouragement it was to have some of the ladies keep in touch with me during our ordeal. Oh, and just wanted to mention that my dd still takes the clay internally 2-3 times a week in her yogurt. I think that has really helped as well.

I am still struggling with the MRSA in my 6mo. I cannot think straight to figure out how to PM MommabyHisgrace so I will just post. The abcess was draining well with soaks and salve, but then stopped draining and got huge with a high fever. We needed to get an antibiotic injection because he will take nothing my mouth. I am praying the antibiotic, soaks, and salve make it begin to drain again. My question is for after this "crisis" period. What regime do you use til this is all cleared??? He is young, but big (22pounds). He has only ever breastfed so that may be a problem. I would appreciate any input. You can PM me and then maybe I can figure out how to PM you back. Sorry, but lack of sleep and concern is making me a little fuzzy in the brain. Thank you.

I just can't help but think that colloidal silver would definitely help him. Nature's Sunshine has a gel with silver right in it, and they have had fantastic results with this stuff. We use it here at our house for just about everything external, and we use their Silver Shield for internal stuff. It is even safe for babies as young as yours.
I'll PM you.

Anyone thought about this?? I live in a 3rd world country and we put a squirt of bleach into our bath water because of the bad water and so far we have all been well. In fact, it seems to clear up skin conditions.

I know when my dd had MRSA 3 years ago even my dr. recommended using a bleach bath for her. I had to be careful not to over do the bleach baths because her skin would get red all over so I would stop the bleach for several baths and then begin again. It did help to rid her skin of the staph and then keep it that way. Hope that helps. LLC

Have you tried Raw Manuka Honey? When my baby had a really nasty infection/rash on her neck I've tried everything that her doctor prescribed and nothing was helping. Then he mentioned that it's probably MRSA which led me to do a lot of research. I found that raw manuka honey kills mrsa most of the time. I had to buy it online (couldn't find one in any stores) but after using it for 2 days it started to clear up. Ofcourse by then the doctor decided to do a test to check for mrsa and the test came back neg. Roll Eyes

Just to second (or third) Wink

what others have said about bleach. I've been posting about dd in the impetigo (caused by staph) thread. After almost 6 wks of subdued impetigo--always 1-2 sores that don't blister/erupt--I finally went to the dr. to see if I was missing something. (Wanted to confirm staph & contagiousness since sores aren't pus-filled, etc.) Anyway, doc said that some people have had success ridding staph from the home by soaking infected person in tub water with just a little clorox.

As a side note... After divulging to dr. that raw honey/herbs was my M.O., and expecting a prompt lecture, I was astonished to be commended by dr. (I was literally in tears with praise to God.) Shocked

Among other things and not in this order, she said to me, "We've created MRSA by overusing antibiotics. If your body can fight off illnesses w/o then you'll be much stronger. We've used raw honey for wound treatments, and studies have proven raw honey to be effective for colds."

BTW, dr. thinks it's just impetigo/staph, not MRSA, but we are still waiting on the culture results. I was thinking dd must have weak immune system that couldn't fight it off, but dr. said that the fact that she has fought it off so long and so few sores means she probably has a very strong immune system. Huh

After discussing the fact that staph colonizes in the nasal passages, I have been kicking myself for not swabbing dd's nose for the duration. I did for awhile when she had actual sores in nose, but dd gets so irritable about it that I finally slacked off and forgot about it.

I sell it. It's about $16 (plus tax and shipping Sad

) for a 3 oz. tube, but it lasts a LONG time. We use it on everything from burns to cuts/scrapes to rashes, and I really like it! My elderly herbal lady uses it for hand sanitizer b/c it is WAY more effective than Purell. I haven't had a chance to use it on impetigo yet, but I bet it would work great. Also--this gel is easily applied up in the nostrils to avoid MRSA colonizing there. Works wonderfully!
If you would like some, pls PM me. I have to place a NS order soon, anyway.

I posted this first to the impetigo thread:

Well, bad news. Dr. called today and culture showed MRSA. I'm a little surprised, but I am amazed at how well it has cleared up even though we've been dealing with MRSA all this time and didn't know it. And although I'm disappointed that it's MRSA and not just impetigo staph, I am so thankful that right now, she only has one small sore just barely inside her nose.

So... I guess I'll be moving my saga Wink

over to the MRSA thread. And to update... I am adding allicin/garlic tablets and Vitamin C internally, and I'll use gse internally again in moderation. Still using silver topically/swabbing and alternating w/gse.

Dr. also said that if we get anymore lesions, I need to bring her in to get a round of oral antibiotics. I REALLY don't want to do that. Not sure I'm going to report anything further to the dr. now that I know what we're dealing with. Do you think I'm doing the right thing by holding off on the mupirocin/bactroban? From what I've been reading, it seems like this only stalls it temporarily then it comes back with a vengeance. Can you share your experiences with it?

I did start to use it tonight because dh mentioned that we probably should so we could just be done with this. When he saw me getting ready to apply it, however, he said, "You don't have to do that. You've done a lot more research on it than I have."

Either one of these 2 methods would probably work better than swabbing the inside of the nose & would help clear the sinuses as well. IMO, it's likely that often times the sinuses are infected as well & could be the reason for reinfection. For either of these methods you could use silver in water, GSE in water or something else that's antibacterial just as long as it wouldn't burn or damage the sinuses.

Quote from: herbalmom on December 13, 2006, 10:47:31 AM

The idea is to snuff salt water up the nose to clean out the sinuses & reduce any possible swelling. The Eustachian tubes are connected to the back of the sinuses-that's where the fluid she is feeling is. If the sinuses are clogged w/goop or swollen the Eustachian tubes can't drain. Try mixing 1/4 teas sea w/1 cup warm water. Pour some into the palm of the hand, plug one nostril & snuff the salt water up the other nostril into the sinuses. Repeat. When you work your way through the gook in the sinuses the salt water ends up in the back of your throat & you spit it out. Repeat on each side several times. She will gag & it is not a pleasant treatment but it works to clear the sinuses. Maybe this will help, I hope it does.

HB-I agree that a nose spray bottle is more pleasant & it's great for reg. use but the idea of this is to wash the sinuses w/a large volume of salt water to completely clean them out. I suppose that a spray bottle could be used for this instead of sniffing from the palm but it would have to be refilled so many times to get the volume that it may not be worth the trouble.

Okay, this method is not for the faint of heart -- but for those of you who suffer with the effects of clogged sinuses and inflamed tissues, (in other words the desperate ones) it won't sound too outlandish.

Use the salt water -- I would use distilled water. You can warm it and add some garlic tea to it. Put a little bit of coconut or olive oil (1/4 tsp maybe) in the mix to soothe the passages. If you want, a drop or two of eucalyptus essential oil, peppermint, or whatever stuff makes your sinuses open BUT only a drop or two to a 1/2 or 1 cup of water.

Then, take the phone off of the hook, get dad to watch the kids and go to the bedroom.

On a small table next to the bed where you can reach it easily place your cup of warm water, an eye dropper and a LOT of tissues.

Lay down on the bed on your BACK. Move your head to the edge of the bed so that your head is no longer supported by the mattress. Your chin should be pointing up towards the ceiling and the top of your head should be towards the floor.

Breathe through your MOUTH. While you are doing this, use the eye dropper and fill your sinus passage with the water. You may even use one of those medicine syringes for kids to do this.

This will feel like you've got very full sinuses. Don't snort. DON'T SIT UP or tilt your head. Keep it hanging off the bed. You won't drown. Just keep breathing through your mouth and just hang there for as long as you can.

When you're ready, get the tissues (paper towels), cover your mouth and nose and turn over to your belly. Cough and blow all that gunk out of there. It will probably loosen up that inner ear as well.

Dr. also said that if we get anymore lesions, I need to bring her in to get a round of oral antibiotics. I REALLY don't want to do that. Not sure I'm going to report anything further to the dr. now that I know what we're dealing with. Do you think I'm doing the right thing by holding off on the mupirocin/bactroban? From what I've been reading, it seems like this only stalls it temporarily then it comes back with a vengeance. Can you share your experiences with it?

She still just has the one sore just inside her nose, but this one seems pretty vicious. It has swelled up and reddened a bit more than I expected. So I am nervous, hoping this will go away quickly. Undecided

my friends husband was in the hospital for a week with MRSA. It returned a few weeks later. They put colloidal silver in the sore and it closed up and hasn't returned.

Between gse, probiotics, and colloidal silver, dd's treatment is getting pretty costly. I am considering using this silver gel http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/catalog/shop_product_detail.jsp?filterBy=&skuId=445926&productId=445926&navAction=jump&navCount=3 that can be purchased at CVS, rather than ordering something online and paying shipping costs. It's a very small amount and has some synthetic ingredients, but it's a more affordable option at the moment. ??

Try soaking/bathing in the tub with about 1-2 teaspoons of Clorox every day or 2 times a day. cheap.
