Ailment: I have been suffering with chronic folliculitis (s.aureus was cultured) in my beard area. Usually 5-10 active boils are present at any one time, varying in size from a single hair follicule to deep, 2cm diameter nodules. Prior Treatments: I have tried just about everything under the sun for this: antibiotics for three months; prescription antibiotic cream; medicated shampoos; chlorhexidine washing; tea tree oil; witch hazel; apple cider vinegar rinses; not shaving (I grew a beard three years ago when this started). All were ineffective. I seem to get reinfected over and over again, even though I take care to use clean towels, pillowcases, etc. Turmeric: Now this is more like it. The turmeric really works. The effect was not immediate, like so many report, although it was quick. I started taking full-spectrum highly concentrated turmeric capsules (400mg, 3X per day) and it took about three days to notice the healing. At first the inflammation calmed down, and those nasty boils began to retreat. I've been on it for four days without any new outbreaks and the last of pre-turmeric boils fading away. No other treatment (doctor- or self-prescribed) has been nearly as effective.

As my symptoms became more intense and frequent i was horrified and disgusted with my own body and felt that i could confide in no one, not even my doctor. i was initially misdiagnosed, completed rounds of antibiotics that did had no affect (which did not seem to be a read flag to my doctor), and i went through a bureaucratic nightmare for nearly half a year before demanding to be referred to an infectious disease specialist who told me that all of the MRSA remedies i read on earth clinic were B.S. i had just finished a round of septra for a particularly difficult boil when i started taking turmeric, about 2 tsps in water 3 times daily. the effect turmeric has had on my skin is unbelievable. i never could have foreseen such a dramatic recovery. although there is no cure for MRSA, i have been able to live boil free for nearly a three months by maintaining this regiment. i have also committed to a vegetarian diet with dramatically less sugar and flour which cause an acidic imbalance that fuels MRSA. on a personal note, earthclinic gave me a sense of community when i was most despondent. it gave me hope, encouragement and a remedy that has provided me with a new lease on life. i only wish i had discovered this site earlier, but feel so blessed to have come across it. for everyone dealing with MRSA, i just want to say that you are not alone, you are loved and you can and will get through this. i care and many others do as well.

After two months, I got a bad outbreak of MRSA on the back of one leg and on the top of one hand. (I first contracted MRSA about 3 years ago). I began using turmeric again (I had plenty on hand) and in one day I could see the redness starting to disappear. Now the areas are mostly healed. Kefir does a fine job holding down my MRSA symptoms, but I need turmeric added in small amounts to each cup of kefir I drink. I always sip kefir all day. Today in fact, I ordered more fresh kefir grains from eBay because after 3 years of using the original grains purchased back then, they were finally weakening. I hope my information helps other people who either have MRSA boils or other types. A main way to combat MRSA is NOT to eat anything containing HEME iron (meat, fish, poultry).

I never had a boil before so I did some research to figure out what it was and how to cure it. I came across this site and found the turmeric cure. I was aggressive with the treatment using warm compresses soaked in turmeric and salt all day and also applying a paste made of turmeric powder and salt directly to the boil. I also used a 1/4 cup of 1/2 & 1/2 warmed up with a teaspoon of turmeric and a touch of hot chocolate for flavor several times a day. After one day, the thing began to drain a foul smelling puss, totally gross. I did a little more research and found it was probably MRSA. I know how bad MRSA can get and I was worried that my face might become disfigured from it. Day two the boil kept draining and I kept up the hot packs and paste religiously. It's now day 8 and the boils is almost completely gone. It's truly amazing. If you have a boil, always be very careful about not spreading it by washing your hands vigorously every time you go near the boil. Use sterile technique when dressing it,always cover a MRSA wound so you don't spread it(It's highly contagious) and use gloves if you can. Wash any clothes or sheets every day that come in contact with it. I used disposable pads on my pillow at night. I actually feel better than I have for a very long time with energy and ambition.

So I waited but finally went to the ER and they told me it was staph and gave me vankamycin because my fever was 103.5 and I was septic by this time and they sent me home! so I got worse overnight and went to the ER then next day at another hospital and so they did surgery on it and drained it and cut deep into it. Gave me more antibiotics and sent me home and it finally started to heal but I have a horrendous scar like a bullet wound. So I thought I was done with that but exactly three weeks later when I began my period, surprise another one on my leg, in the muscle! So I went straight and had it lanced, another lovely scar! it would not heal for weeks until I found this site and ordered myself some Turmeric capsules and powder, then I started taking the capsules and put turmeric powder just one teaspoon boiled down in water on the wound and bandaging it each night. In the meantime I washed down everything in the house in scalding water, all my clothes, wiped down mattresses with antibacterial, then put the bactriban antibiotic stuff in my nose everyday for 8 days and also I was on antibiotics and then just to be safe I went to an Infectious Disease doctor who probed the wound and made it bleed and caused me great agony! but he gave me so much information about this staph condition that I am so thankful to have seen him, however the cure for me has been THIS WEBSITE! Turmeric not only is helping with my staph it is making me feel better overall, not sure why but I can only speak for myself, so then I found another website that said turmeric is a mood enhancer and works for some people who are depressed so that must be it. I feel great! now I have gotten two other boils after the leg boil healed with turmeric and as soon as they come up I put turmeric on them and they burst and heal.

Why: because cornstarch is a perfect growth medium for staph, and it is my contention that the use of cornstarch-based body powders has been a contributing factor is the rise of staph infections in general. But the more staph infections there are, the more likely one is to eventually get a resistant form, and who wants to play those odds? p.s. Staph can cause boils without neccessarily being antibiotic resistant." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/MRSA.html&name=RH_30253 /CURES/MRSA.rss15 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 05:31:12 EDT [BETTER BUT NOT CURED] Sara C. from Park City, IL writes: "I went into a serious case of SAD last winter, didn't eat properly, and compromised by relatively healthy immune system. The 1st of January, got a nasty scrape on my left leg that was abut six inches long and really back. I washed it with hydrogen peroxide and let it dry, then went on about my business. Big mistake. The next day in the shower, I found a red, sore bump that looked like an ingrown hair, but couldn't pull that out. Two days later, the scrape got infected. I put an OTC polymycin salve on it, found that it didn't work and that I was allergic to polymycin. The infection spread, became extremely painful, and by Feb. 1 I was begging to panic, because it should have just dried up and healed. I figured out that I had a staph infection that was getting out of control, in spite of my efforts, and then read about a low hemoglobin count as something that will give you susceptibility to rashes in a medical column, so I started taking iron pills and the infection seemed to stop, but would not clear up. It was so painful that if I took off the bandages, it felt like my skin was on fire because every nerve ending was exposed to air. I spent thirty seconds in the shower one day, crying in pain. I was desperate to find a remedy. I knew it was staph, I looked up the symptoms and images of staph on the internet. I mean, you know these things, and I am frankly unwilling to go to an emergency room these days unless I have a broken bone. I found an antiseptic salve that is specifical directed at MRSA and other varieties of staphylococcus, but I was getting desperate, because I was not getting rid of the toxins in the scrape on my leg and it hurt all the time. I went to bed that night, asking myself "What do I need to know to get rid of this infection? What am I forgetting?" The next morning, when I woke up, the first thing that popped into my head was "what are the medicinal uses of honey?" I looked up apitheray on the internet and there, right in front of me, was an entire page of the uses of honey, from the Egyptians using it in mummification, along with natrol, to Roman physicians using it to prevent wounds from becoming infected. I had a bottle of raw honey bought from an apiary last summer. The pollen grains looked like dust. I had bought it to work on my seasonal allergies in the spring, but decided to try it on my nasty, horrible wound, which was really worrying me. My whole body was trying to throw off this infection without a lot of help from me, so what did I have to lose? I took a sterile wound dressing pad, put a tablespoon of raw honey on it, spread it around to cover the lesion, and plopped it, plus two others on the open areas. I did this daily for two days and took a hard look at what was taking place. The solid matter in an infection, which we call pus, is the dead bacteria and dead white cells that are killing them. The excruciating pain, the swelling and the spread of the infection stopped, but it took three months to get my skin to regenerate by granulation, which is healing from within, and close up the lesions. The last one closed up last week and has a healthy scab on it now, which I do not touch. I used the raw honey for a month and went to a great deal of trouble to keep the whole thing as clean as possible, but getting into the shower was very painful for a while. I knew I had won the battle when that no longer hurt. the sugar in honey is so concentrated that it draws water and the toxins in a wound to the surface, and the enzymes in raw honey will digest bacateria, help your white blood cells do their job. However, staph is one mean little bacterium and won't give up. I have a set of eczematous lesions where it tried to start up again, and used the OTC staph antiseptic, alternating that with antiseptic washes and sprays. Then I heard a dermatologist reoommend a quarter of a cup of laundry bleach (sodium hypochlorite) in a tub of bath water, so I have used about one quarter teaspoonful in two gallons of water, twice in the last two weeks, to wash the skin on my leg, and it seems to be working. I also use peroxide. Just keep shifting the attack weaspons. Some of the eczema started because the paper tape I used took the top layer of skin off those spots and left it vulnerable. I've had bumps appear in my scalp that went away, tiny bubbles appear on my hands that leak clear fluid when they are punctured with a sterile needle. This thing will probably not admit defeat until I sit in a tub full of oatmeal bath additive or milk of magnesia, which is supposed to be healing. My skin has become rather dry, so I need a good, soothing bath salt. Are epsom salts OK for this? I have noticed in all this that staph will get into anything: your hair follicles (kills the growing hair), your oil glands (dries out your skin), your mouth (blisters your palate), your clothing (use the laundry bleach, you can always buy more clothing). I continue to take the iron pill and upped the amount of lean beef I eat, as well as a multi-B vitamin and Ca/Mg/Zinc and A, D, and Natural E that I have been taking for years. This is seven months after the start of this, and the skin on my left leg looks like the worst sunburn in the world, but is slowly growing back with no scars. The hair follicles are recovering. I forgot to credit my cat Lilly in this. Every night when I went to bed, I would visualize my Lilly chasing those little fuzzy staph bacteria and swatting them into ruins. I had a dream one night in which she chased them screaming down a long hallway into a huge pool of water. I believe it will take several more months for this to end, but I've learned my lesson the hard way: eat properly, get some exercise, take your vitamins and enjoy life. It's all we have.

Some years ago 3 of my boys, with some friends, went swimming in a creek. -They went to the creek because most of our local beaches had been closed due to high bacteria levels.- Three of those boys, one of my own, were later diagnosed with MRSA. We had seven people in our home at the time and all but two have since suffered bouts of boils. Those of us who have higher bodyfat percentages suffer much more frequently and severely. About a year and a half ago I discovered earthclinic. I immediately started taking remedies for -among other things- allergies, asthma, fibromyalgia, and boils. (I have never been diagnosed with MRSA, I choose NOT to have that put in my medical records. Besides, no medication ever given to my son or any of his friends ever really helped.) I no longer suffer from ANY of those conditions accept the boils. When I first started taking the turmeric I had no less than 30 outbreaks in less than 3 weeks. I assumed this was a 'cleansing period'. They were uncomfortable, inconvenient of course but definitely NOT like they used to be. Since then I have had 4. Two were very minor, gone right away. The third was a bit more painful, this one now is killing me! It may very well be the worst I have ever had! HERE IS MY POINT! I did the math and realized why I have gotten these last two -I think. The last one I got after my son had been in the hospital, I missed maybe 2 or 3 days of taking my morning "tea". This time I have gotten VERY caught up in life, very busy and I think I have only had my tea 3 or 4 times in the last week and a half! It is my understanding that there is no 'cure' for MRSA. There is only control. My 'tea' consists of 1/4 tsp turmeric 1/4 tsp cayenne 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1 Tbs blackstrap molasses 1 Tbs coconut oil 1 c warm water For those of us who are predisposed to boils, are sensitive to staph or have been exposed to MRSA constant control is key to our continued health. By the way, I also rinse with ACV after every shower and spray myself head to toe with peroxide about every other day to control topically." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/MRSA.html&name=TURMERIC_29969 /CURES/MRSA.rss17 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 10:24:03 EDT [YEA] Carolyne Geisler from Sydney, Australia writes: "My daughter started out with a carbuncle of boils which the docotor i went and took her to see, put on an anesthetic to numb the area and it didn't work so they gave her an injection anesthetic and it still didn't work so they were cutting her open while the anesthetic wasn't obviously working, my poor daughter was screaming in a way i never had seen a child scream my mother inlaw was with me and we were crying so had to see a child in pain after half an hour of my daughter screaming, the doctor had then said and i quote "i don't know what i am doing! you are going to have to take her to the hospital to get it scrapped!" i was shell shocked, i took to the hospital and they had told me that everything was ok, so i went home and they gave me a phone call two days later saying i had to come back down to change her medication because she had contracted the golden staph infection, so i went back and waited three hours before someone would see her, we got the new prescription and went back home then not even twenty-four hours later the hospital called me again and once again i headed back to the hospital another three hours later they gave her new medication, and then not even twenty-four hours after that i had another phone call saying she had the MRSA virus and that i had to come back down to the hospital when i got there they had explained to me that she will have the boils for three years and that the infection will stay in her system for the rest of her life he also explained that it is very similar to the aids virus, since that day i have been back again to the hospital to have them say it is not the hospitals fault it is caused from our family which is a load of bull....long story short - I found your website and tried the Turmeric (500 mg capsules 4 times per day).

I think I may have finally found peace.." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/MRSA.html&name=TURMERICREADERFEEDBACK_29505 /CURES/MRSA.rss20 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 11:20:16 EDT [BETTER BUT NOT CURED] Bobby from Chicago, IL writes: "I was diagnosed with MRSA last month and had to take Bactrim and my infection specialist suggested decolonising the staph/MRSA bacteria from skin after the treamtment. The boils went away and I felt good, but within two days of competing antiboitic treatment, I got a boil on my buttocks and I started reading earth clinic's natural cure and about turmeric. I started last week and with in 3 days, the MRSA boils were gone. I am taking 3 times half spoon turemric powder with warm water mixed with little ground pepper. Thanks earth clinic and all those who contributed their knowledge. I am supposed to go to my doctor next month and I will tell him about this home remedy. The one question I have is about how long do I have to take turmeric after all the boils are gone? Also, is there any cure for MRSA?" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/MRSA.html&name=PG_28910 /CURES/MRSA.rss21 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 10:20:24 EDT Robin from Shakopee, Minnesota writes: "Skin Lesions: My sweetheart had a black, odd shaped, itchy lesion on his right nostril. He mentioned it to his doctor whenever he went for a check-up and was given a steroid cream that seemed to help but whenever he'd stop using it the lesion came back. We thought it was a fungus when it spread to his cheek, but when he went back to his doctor they took a sampling of it and said it was 'due to the cold'. Minnesota is infamous for it's frigid winters!. He was prescribed another steroid cream, told to use it sparingly and everyday.. but the same thing happened again..as soon as he stopped using it the thing would come back! In our attempt to eat healthier we'd started having a pink grapefruit for breakfast. After a few days of the grapefruit, the itchy patch stopped itching and was gone completely within a week. Pink Grapefruit, no sugar, no salt...just peel it and eat it.

No medicine cures any ailment as quickly as turmeric gets rid of staph boils. For boils that haven't yet come to a head, I normally take a large quantity of turmeric upon noticing a boil.. about 2 tbsp a day mixed in decaf green tea. The results are clear the next morning. If I'm lucky enough to have noticed the boil early in its formation, it will disappear overnight. If not, it still improves ridiculously fast. AS FOR boils that have come to a head somewhat but haven't drained completely, I apply turmeric paste topically to the boil and cover it with a band-aid. When I pull it off the next day, the boil is drained. I know topical application is not recommended but TRY IT for boils that have come to a head and are still leaking and visibly big." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/MRSA.html&name=TURMERIC_26082 /CURES/MRSA.rss23 Fri, 01 May 2009 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] MRSA MAN from White Plains, NY writes: "I suggest mixing a couple sprinkles of black pepper in with your 1 or 2 teaspoons of turmeric in warm water.

I was getting boils mainly in my butt area.Tt spread to my eyes and then nose. Not to mention the pain of these boils. Mine was resitant to many antibiotics. First boil was in Sep, 2008 then in Oct,then Nov. My doctor was changing antiobiotics all the time and was saying that it shouldn't reoccur like this. Antibiotics used to work but then they reoccur when I stop antibiotics My blood tests showed that I was anemic. I tried changing soaps,cleaning clothes more frequently, use hibiclens etc. Nothing helped. Then I came to know about turmeric which my wife read in earth clinic and I started taking daily in the night quarter spoon. I also started taking probiotic supplement along with as I read turmeric might upset stomach. I started taking it since Dec 25th and I never had any reoccurence since then. I stopped taking turmeric in Feb 2009 but in March again I got some signs of it (feverish but no boils) Then I started taking turmeric again. Since then no more boils. I read more on turmeric and it seems it is anti inflammatory, anti bacterial and it helps body in many ways in addition to killing this MRSA. Please get good turmeric (Can be easily found in indian stores) and take daily along with probiotic supplement. I also read that it attacks when your immunity is low. So also start eating well including lots of fruits and vegetables."
