I'm to the point of tears because I can't get rid of this thing and after being treated at the hospital with Zyvox (antibiotic), have been to my regular doctor-nothing seems to work. I have a lump in my armpit now and I think its growing, I started taking the Turmeric powder yesterday afternoon, then at night and also this morning. I don't see a "head" on my lump, so I'm worried that it wont burst open. Please help, do you guys think that there is a chance of bursting open inside of my body?
Thanks... Thanks for this site and for all of the good people that have taking the time to post their experiences with this ugly virus."
[YEA] 02/06/2009: Franciso from Dallas, Texas replies: "WOW!!! I posted yesterday my question about a boil bursting open inside my body... Well here is an update regarding the boil under my armpit. After reading all of the responses and posts, I also learn in this wonderful site about the Apple Cider Vinegar and its effects to stabilize the PH in the body. Yesterday, I was having such pain in my armpit to the point that I couldn't put my arm down cause of the pain, I took 2 table spoons of Wholefood's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar stright up, and an 8oz-glass of water with 2 table spoons of vinegar. I sipped the water-vinegar solution slowly and almost finished in about 1 hr. This morning (2/6/2009), I was pain free, and the redness is going away, I'm at work now writing this message (2:47 pm) and still sipping on my water-vinegar solution and my turmeric. All I have to say is that my pain is gone and that I'm very hopeful that this thing goes away.
Please change my previous post to a YEA! I have been spreading the word about this great site to all of the people I know...
Thanks!"

I have a 16 year old daughter who gets these abscess on the back of her thighs and privates. Its terrible because its painful and she misses days of school. I didn't want to take her to the doctor for yet another round of antibiotics which I believe is the cause of this problem. I did some research on abscess and came accross the MRSA infection. This sounded like what was going on. I come to earth clinic for various things but when I saw the number of YEAs for the tumeric I was so relieved. I ran out (it was almost midnight and bought tumeric. I gave her some right away and have been giving more every 4 to six hours. We first noticed there was no more pain and she could sleep then the one abscess quickly rose to the top and drained and the one that was slowly swelling up quickly went down and is now draining quietly and painlessly. She did miss the entire week of school over this but we know what to do for next time. I also read here that many women say outbreaks came when their cycles began...she did start her cycle. So now we know the trigger. I've tried many remedies here with much success but I had to write about this one. Thank you earth clinic and all of you who share their stories."

Recently, A niece of mine had a very large and infected boil misdiagnosed as a spider bite. The doctor sliced off the top of the boil and the turmeric I had her take just before going to the doctor came gushing out of the boil. The doctor was amazed for some of the turmeric (orange-yellow) came out with the fluid. The wound healed quickly even though it had been sliced open. Turmeric is amazing!!"

[QUESTION] 01/07/2009: Gail from Sacramento, CA, USA writes: "Staph with Sporotrichosis:
Hello,
PLEASE HELP!
My 11-yr old twin girls have had nodular and atopic eczema since they were two. Six months ago, they each received scratches from a blackberry bush on their legs. Soon thereafter, small red blisters began popping up near the scratch. Within a week, their legs were covered in pinkk-red bumps. Their Pediatrician put them on Prednizone for a week. But the suppression of their immune systems just made matters worse! Their usual numular eczema grew larger and spread as did the new red bump rash. We spent thousands of dollars on Naturopathics and "Eating for Your Type" doctors to absolutely NO avail! They gave up and sent us back to a Dermatologist who said the girls now have "staph." We've done a round of Bacterim, which helped somewhat, then Erythrocin which did nothing, now we're back to Bacterim again. I saw your site and read about Tumeric for staph. So I've been giving them Tumeric (250 mgs), Jarro-dophilus (3.5 mil),Omega 3-6-9 combo, Calcium/Magnesium (500/250 mgs) Colloidal Silver and fish Oil. Two Chinese doctors instructed me to remove ALL red meat, shellfish, dairy, peanuts & tropical fruit from their diet, which we've done. After showers, they also soak in a tub with various "remedies." But their thighs, buns & backs are still REALLY broken out. At night when one's cortisol/pain tolerance levels are lower, the intense itching and pain is SO bad it's pitiful! My normally very positive happy girls are sobbing! They only get sleepy after taking kids acetomenaphen and antihistamines. I've researched medical sites and found an infection called Sporotrichosis Schnecki that one gets from a scratch from a rose or berry bush. It also causes staph. No one at ANY nearby Lab seems to have a test for it. Is there ANYONE who has had something similar to this? If so, please tell me what you did to cure it? Also, anything for intense itching? We've already tried ACV, baking soda, Vit E, Virgin Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Honey, Oatmeal, popular creams, zinc Oxide, hydrocortizone & triamcinalone steriod creams (yuk!) and various baths. PLEASE HELP!!!"

I have a friend who was diagnosed with Pityiasis rosea and nothing the doctors recamended would stop the itching but the calyptus worked. I feel sorry for the two girls and i will send some at no cost. I do not want publicity if Gail could email me i will try to help. sincerely Dave."

[YEA] 12/11/2008: Margaret from South, USA writes: "Turmeric worked for me!! Thanks to all the feedback I am able to get on with my holidays! I would not have so readily tried it as I was a big skeptic. I have been suffering from reoccurring staph infections since the beginning of the year. They are incredibly painful and I tend to get flu like symptoms along with them. I have had one the top of my va jay jay (the size of a cocktail winnie), my rectum (thought it was hemorrhoid at first), behind my ear (the size of a silly puddy container), a sty in my eye and my latest which began on Monday on my vaginal opening swelling both on the outside and the inside this one is by far the worse. I woke up this morning and was barely able to move much less walk. It hurt just to roll over. I was in dire need of relief being so close to Christmas then I found this website. I knew the drill , based on the one behind my ear it was going to take a full week before it popped and then about 2 days to fully drain. How can I wait until Monday for it to pop I need to go shopping. I was desperate but did not allow myself to believe that the testaments would really work for me. But I went to whole foods immediately and bought the turmeric powder, garlic pills, lysine and probotics ( I'm prone to yeast infections and constipation which I read is a side effect of turmeric). I took the half glass of warm water with 2 tsps of turmeric powder and also applied a cotton pad with antibiotic pain relieving ointment mixed with turmeric powder. To be honest the boil was in such a tender spot that it was painful just to get the paste rubbed in good. I left it for two and half hours and then had to look because it was hurting every time I moved , even a cough hurt. I could not believe my eyes when I removed it, I saw the spot were it would open and it looked much further along than I expected. I took a sterile needle a barely scraped the spot which immediately began to drain. It so surprised me I was not prepared to collect the pus and I pray that I have not spread it somewhere else. In my past boils it was very painful to burst and then it took a few hours to actually really produce the puss. This was almost pain free. The majority of the puss came out right away. I am still in shock. I was able to put a band-aid with the neosporin and actually go shopping for about two hours. About 6 and half hours after my one and only dose of the internal and external treatment it was raring to drain some more. It is now mostly drained which I would have expected to have taken at least 24 more hours once it popped. I can go to bed and rest knowing that I will be able to function tomorrow, this has truly saved my Christmas. Thank You! to everyone who shared their story before me, it's the best present I could have ever gotten. Now I am on a hunt to stop the boils from ever starting -- Happy Holidays hope this will be beneficial for someone else."

Herbs to the Rescue! Tumeric does it again. Just like you said, in three days the PAINFUL eruptions were gone. That's right. It began to work immediately and in 3 days the whole thing was gone! Needless to say we were impressed Here is a tip for others. We put our tumeric into capsules since we did not like the taste of it in water. Took 3 capsules - 3x's daily. Cheap and effective!"

I was first diagnoised with MRSA in November 2007. I had two boils on my each side of my bum. I had to them lanced and packed... I was not able to remove the core,soooo painful!! Then two weeks later I got another boil on the back of my thigh. I used Ithmacal to bring it to a head but never got the core out. I had two more bouts with this stuff. I used the Turmeric powder remedy mixed with honey as a drink 1st. I then purchased the 450mg capsules from Wal-mart. I also started drinking this natural tonic named Ya-Mon Woodroot tonic. It's made from all natural roots and herbs, You have to drink 1/4 cup daily and it doesn't taste the best but, I have not had any other boils come up since the 1st of May. So, I hope that this remedy will be helpful to someone! I know that the Earthclinic remedy has sure helped me. I am still drinking the tonic daily and taking the turmeric capsules...good luck!!"

[YEA] 08/19/2008: Robyn from Costa Mesa, CA writes: "I acquired mrsa staph just two months ago. I am allergic to most antibiotics and pain relievers. I had to go on two atibiotics and they caused me to get terribly sick in the stomach for days. I've always known the healing benefits of tumeric and use it on inflammations. But the doctors and the mrsa had me so scared I didn't do anything. After about two or so weeks I found this site which reminded me of the possibility for relief with tumeric. For my boils it was a tad too late but it certainly reduced the swelling. I had three boils on my face and much pain. I drank a whole glass of water with tumeric and agave nectar which REALLY helped speed my healing. I also began washing my face with tea tree oil soap, applying tea tree oil to my face afterwards and did my best to consume a glass of water with wild oregano oil. This help me tremendously after weeks of suffering!! I stayed on the anitbiotics the whole way. My son's girlfriend also has it and it helped her too. I continue to wash with tea tree oil soap and keep oregeno oil handy just in case. I also put tea tree oil in my nose. I always use tumeric in my cooking but I amped it up and have ever since used tumeric in nearly everything I eat."
Replies02/05/2009: Diane from New York, NY replies: "I think the Tumeric is excellent as is the tea tree oil. HOWEVER, I suggest NOT putting Tea tree oil in your nose. The nose is too sensitive and tea tree oil is very strong and can burn the nasal passage.
I put tea tree oil right onto the postules (for lack of another word) and bought the soap. Tumeric doesn't burn, but it stains so you've got to be careful with the open powder. Capsules are probably better."

[YEA] 08/18/2008: Matt from Rochester, NY writes: "I have been dealing with MRSA since last fall and have been on four different antibiotics since then. While I take the meds, the boils go away, but as soon as the meds are gone, the boils return. I began taking tumeric this past Saturday and what a wonder! The three boils I have are nearly gone, and no new ones have shown their ugly faces. Tumeric may not be a cure for MRSA, but apparently, neither are antibiotics. If Tumeric will keep the boils away, at 2.99 per 14/oz. bag, it's well worth it!"

[YEA] 07/31/2008: Sara from Calgary, Canada writes: "Tumeric cured my boils
Last summer I got what I knew was a boil but I had no idea about MRSA or the severity of what they can become. It was on the back of my upper thigh and became so painful I couldn't sit and could hardly drive. Finally went to the Dr who froze the area with needles (the WORST pain ever) and she scraped it all out, bandaged it and gave me antibiotics. A few weeks later I was contacted and informed I had MRSA, which was a little scary. I immediately went to the web to research and found this site. I started getting another one a bit after that, went and got the tumeric capsuls at Walgreens. Took them 2X before bed and next day was almost gone and no pain. The day after, it was gone. Since then I always take it at the first sign and I've never had a reoccurance. This is truly the cure for this, and I am not one for a lot of herbal remedies. It really does work."

[YEA] 07/22/2008: Ashley from Port Saint Lucie, FL writes: "A combination of Turmeric, MANUKA HONEY, and a change of diet helped with my MRSA. I follow the Body Ecology Diet, which I didnt see mentioned anywhere on this site. It really changed my life as well as how often I get MRSA. I used to get at least 3-5 new boils a DAY, heavily concentrated on my bottom. They would all swell up to the size of golf balls and I would be unable to drive, walk, or wear any form of shorts of pants. After doing lots of research, I found that my diet was wrong. I cut ALL SUGARS (including fruit) for 3 weeks. I properly combine my foods (no proteins and starches in the same meal). Now that my body isn't spending HOURS digesting, it is actually working to heal and fight the MRSA. I now get a new boil about three times a month, which I will stop IMMEDIATELY with MANUKA honey. I put the honey on a bandaid and cover it overnight. I cant tell you how much pain manuka honey has saved me. You can FEEL it working (it tingles and gets itchy or tingly sometimes) it literally feels like it's going inside the boil and killing it. By the next morning, the boil is flat and defeated. The key is to apply the honey AS SOON AS YOU CATCH THE BOIL, in it's infant stages of looking like a pimple. Manuka honey still works even after it gets big, but it will be painful as all boils are when they get bigger. The honey will draw out the pus and keep the boil open until it is drained all the way. Keep applying honey until the boil closes on its own (heals shut after it is fully drained). My problem with getting so many boils was I was not keeping them covered THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH. I take turmeric twice a day, every day. I hope this helps someone out...it changed my life and my boyfriends life. It made MRSA more manageable and way easier to deal with. I can live a normal life and not be confined to bed for days at a time now. The boils will never stop coming, that is a fact of MRSA, but what we can do is FIGHT at the first signs of a boil and end it RIGHT THEN AND THERE."

[YEA] 07/07/2008: Aster from Vancouver Island, Canada writes: "Staph infection-- tumeric, poultice (sea salt, baking soda, and oatmeal), crush raw garlic
About a year ago, I contracted community acquired MRSA while working in the health-care field. My doctor said I was colonized and there wasn't much to do to treat it-- except to manage the symptoms with antibiotics. I went the antibiotic route at first, but over all, they are not effective, and I also feel that they should be reserved only for emergencies.
I have had half a dozen outbreaks since then. A number healed on their own, but some did not, and required lancing and antibiotics.
This recent outbreak, I am determined to not resort to conventional medicine unless the infection persists and causes systemic infection.
I decided to try the turmeric capsules suggested on this site after two days of unsuccessfully treating the growing infection with antibiotic ointment (fusidic acid). I took two 300 mg capsules and within two hours, the infection hurt much less, and the burning was gone. Turmeric definitely has anti-inflammatory properties.
I have been taking the capsules for two days now. The infection is not spreading anymore, and it has not formed a head. It is smaller.
I also made a poultice of equal parts sea salt/baking soda/ oatmeal and let it dry on the infection. I have been doing this three a day. Using this treatment has a dramatic effect: the lesion becomes smaller after every application.
Tonight, I thought I'd see if crushed garlic helped. I applied a clove (after crushing and waiting ten minutes) directly to the infection for five minutes. Warning: this burns quite a bit. However, it only burns where the infection is. Test the garlic on the inside of your arm first to make sure you are not sensitive to it, and be aware, crush raw garlic will burn you if left on your skin too long.
Resist the urge to lance or apply pressure to your own boils. This will only make them worse, as I have learned from experience. I also find heat compresses to be a terrible treatment, and they have only ever led to the infection spreading.
I am having excellent results from the turmeric and poultice treatments. Antibiotics never get rid of the boils, anyway. I will update but as for now, the infection is receding. "
07/08/2008: Aster from Vancouver Island, Canada replies: "The infection is nearly gone!
I wanted to share, as well, that I have very bad seasonal allergies requiring daily anti-histamine treatment, plus eye drops and nasal spray. As a side effect of taking the turmeric capsules (I must assume as nothing else has changed), I do not have allergies today. It is very hot and dry and I was in the garden for hours today... it is the height of allergy season. I realized I had not taken anti-histamines for two days but have no allergies. I really didn't expect that!!!!"

I *think* I've had 3 boils but caught the 2nd one under my arm quckly, lanced it myself, put turmeric on it AND took turmeric internally. This 3rd time it looked like a spider bite in the center of my chest, just like you said. I took 2 turmeric pills every hour but it must have been too late...sigh....had it lanced yesterday. Is there anywhere on here that tells us how to KILL the MRSA? How to not get these boils anymore or (worse) transfer them to our families? What about grapefruit seed extract in the nose? I have read that that's worse....I just need some help here. Drs keep telling me "Not to worry" but this is no small matter in our household!! Thank you so much."

[YEA] 05/06/2008: Teresa McNeill from Asheboro, NC writes: "I recently developed an abscess on my right cheek. At first I thought it was a small acne cyst which I have been plagued with since going through menopause. On the third day, which was a Saturday-these things always happen when the doctors office is closed-I couldn't open my mouth because of the pressure on my TMJ joint. I immediately went to an urgent care center. The very nice doctor there lanced the cotton picking thing and packed the wound. He put me on two ABT and wanted to prescribe Darvocet for the pain, but I refused and opted for prescription strengh Motrin which I though I would be tough and not have to take. Needless to say I was popping Motrin the first two days. The lab reported was positive for Community Acquired MRSA. People need to know that there are three different strains of the bacteria out there now. There is hospital acquired MRSA which is only sensitive to Vancomycin. There VRSA, which is Vancomycin Resistant MRSA, and I don't know what is available to treat it, since the last know antibiotic found to treat HA-MRSA, is not effective for VRSA. The community acquired version is treatable now with several ABTs, but for how long. These little boogers are smart and mutate. What I am currently doing is this:
1. Taking turmeric powder
2. Washing 2x daily with a soap I mixed with 1/2 hibiclens and 1/2 tea tree oil soap After washing my face, I made a "toner" of 1/2 c water, 1/2 tsp Epsom Salt, and 1/2 tsp Baking Soda and soaked a cotton ball in it and applied it all over my face. The water will evaporate, leaving the minerals and salt on your skin.
3. Applying Muciprocin ointment to the lesion until completely healed.
4.. To aid in rupture and drainage, I bought some old fasion drawing salve and filled the area with it, and covered it with a large bandaid. This seemed to do the trick. The very next morning the lesion ruptured and a big, hardened plug of debris was stuck to the bandaid when I removed it.
5. I am now applying triple AB ointment in my nostrils 2x daily to get the bacteria count down there.
Finally, be aware that Staph bacteria can grow in your makeup. Once you develop a boil or severe acne cyst, chunk out all your facial makeup. You will just reinfect yourself if you continue to use it."

I covered it up with anti biotic ointment and put a bandaid on it until it healed. Well it healed with the infection still inside, so i knew it was still somewhere in my body. Well, now, almost exactly a year later here i am with one on my stomach. I knew what it was this time when it first started growing, so i looked for natural remedies, as i've heard so many negative things about anti biotics (and i have no health insurance). Well, i happened to find this site, and within 5 days my boil came to a head, drained, and is starting to heal!! Whereas last year my boil took 2 or more months to heal, and didn't even heal properly. The core seemed to just slide out this time and now it is closing up FAST. This stuff is AMAZING.
I took 1 tbsp in water (with juice, i couldnt handle the taste by itself) about 3 times a day and 3 pills in between. It has also helped with my acne, as it is an anti inflamatory!"

So I began treatment of tumeric(1 tsp) in water 3x daily, tea tree oil applied topically 2-3x daily, and tea tree oil on personal lubricant for the nose. Within 6 hours maybe less I could feel the pain going away, I was actually able to sleep better that night too. I did 4 days treament and the dime sized MRSA staph was gone. THANK YOU SO MUCH!"

I tried the tspn of Turmeric 3X day, baking soda in warm water 3X day, 2500mg garlic, about 2000mg vit C, and 2 tablets standard echinacea... my MRSA has cleared up 95% in 3-4 days time!! I've had this for 9 months solid on and off, got really bad last week so I decided to try natural cures. The combonation of these things seems to have done the trick, at least for now, I can't believe it was that easy. All the $ I wasted on pharmacuticals was ridiculous, also time lost at my job calling out when it got really bad certain weeks. I am so happy and feel like I can finally go out in public again without cover-up on my face! I highly recommend people try this with MRSA. THANK YOU everyone for your advice and input! =)"

Once last year 2009 I had one so bad that I had to have surgery and be in the hospital for 4 days being pumped full of the heaviest antibiotics on earth. Needless to say, it ruined me I was sick for months afterwards, got more staph infections. Been on Olive leaf extract and colliodal silver for months now, no help really, I still get them on my butt, same where the surgery and huge scar is. I got another one a couple days ago, it got really big and started to drain. Just bought Turmeric powder tonight and will take some. I hope this works I firmly believe the antibiotics have something to do with the recurring infections and will try anything not to go back to the doctors again only to be told you need more antibiotics."

[YEA] 03/13/2008: Doug from San Francisco writes: "I am another success story using the Turmeric treatment! I have suffered from boils and a so called MRSA diagnosis for the past 2 months. I have had 6 boils on the back of my legs to my face. I was placed on 2 antibiotics from Cipro to cylindamicyin, neither worked and were incorrectly prescribed by my doctor ( both are MRSA resistant). I have been on turmeric for 10 days now and all my boils are gone! I am taking two 500 mg capsules a day and will continue to do so! I used to get a boil then about 7 days after the boil another one would start. Now I am boil free! Along with the turmeric I am washing with physohex and using bactroban 2% cream on any further outbreaks. I have told my doctor and they too can't understand it. They do say turmeric can't hurt you and is a natural antioxidant. Thanks for the helpful information Earthclinic. I don't know if I am cured, but I guess if I stop taking turmeric I will see!"

The ph info I have read on MRSA makes a lot of sense to me.following this principal i have also used borax in the laundry' and epsom salts(magneisium) and baking soda in the bath. We use Mr. Clean multi surface to clean with as it states on the back of the cleaner it kills MRSA most cleaners don't - i know this is not a natural remedy but i have a daugter with Cystic Fibrosis and must kill other germs in my home also- I have read that clorox wipes do not kill mrsa we were using these in the begining of our outbreaks. My child with CF I have not been able to cure with natural remedies. I think turmeric tastes horrid -- kudos to you who drink it in tea. I have purchased the capsules for those of us who can swallow pills. For my younger children i have found a liquid version at the health food store just yesterday - they can not taste it in chocolate milk. I also cook with the spice. it is great in chicken salad and on a roast. The natural remedies we are now practicing in our home have definitely helped reduce the break outs but it is still not gone. I have just purchased colliodal silver supplement. As I just read about that having good results. I have posted my families story on MRSA notes. I beieve in natural cures but also know this is a bad bug and would not recommend waiting too long to seek a doctors help if you do not get immediate results with the natural cure. Good luck to all that are fighting MRSA!"

[QUESTION] 02/23/2008: Amanda from Terre Haute, Indiana writes: "Thank you so very much for providing such a helpful website. I am a 20 year old girl, I feel like MRSA has taken my life and shattered it to pieces. I am against taking harsh, expensive drugs from the Doctor because of the side effects and price. I have been taking Turmeric tablets, and magnesium chloride tablets for a while now. I have one boil on a sensitive part of my body for months now, almost a year, and it's both painful and big. I have taken natural vinegar with honey and put it on the effected area. It seems to clear it up, but it shortly refesters and swells. I have no energy, I sleep a lot and am in a serious depression because of what this has done to me. Is there any way I could take a supplement to regain my strength? I would love to live again. Thank you again for such a great website and tips."
Replies02/25/2008: Jake from Chicago, IL replies: "For Amanda from Terre Haute, Indiana. I had something festering on my leg and think it may have been MRSA - from a workout room where my shins touched a piece of equipment. I immediately put cayenne powder on it and stopped the bleeding and it healed up over the next week with that one application. I think it might be worth a try to rub cayenne powder on it to see if that might not do it."
[YEA] 01/17/2009: Gus from Den Haag, Nederland replies: "Amanda, I also have suffered with MRSA boils and subsequent lethargy (to put it lightly...) I agree the Earth Clinic site and turmeric cure are angelic! As for your query regarding energy - I discovered the Raw Paleo Diet about a year ago and found it extraordinarily invigorating. I had previously been vegetarian for 10 years and the RPG appeared very extreme when I first read about it. However, at that time I was in need of something extreme and I am so pleased to have tried it because when I am strict with the diet I feel on top of the world and that was something I had thought I would never experience again since a long time. I also use the turmeric cure for the boils. However, I use about an inch or so of fresh turmeric per dose - it tastes wonderful and may be more potent. My favourite is with a salad of papaya, fresh coriander and lemon juice (lemon/lime and papaya are a match made in heaven). The RPG diet varies person to person. You must find what works for you - sashimi, oysters or steak tatare are obvious examples. The general health benefits (and energy) are extraordinary. There is some great information about the Raw Paleo Diet from someone called the Raw Paleo Guy (RPG) at allexperts."
