[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."

Thanks Michelle and Michael from Indy!!"

[YEA] 02/07/2008: Mike from Palm Springs, CA writes: "turmeric cured my mrsa. i was on just about every kind of antibiotic available. amoxicillin, levaquin, clendamicin. tetracycline, bactrim ds, and bactrim ds with riampin together.all over the period of 3 1/2 months. they were going to put me in the hospital on iv vanco. i tried turmeric within days the boils started going away. i used 1 teaspoon three times daily. it took about two weeks. i havent had a boil in over a month now. the sad thing is that i first read about turmeric on this web site after the first antibiotic failed. i figured there is now way it could work.. i will never doubt a natural cure again. thank you for this web site."
Replies09/19/2009: Teresa from Asheboro, Nc replies: "Do not be fooled in to thinking you have been cured of MRSA. You cured/healed the boil, but you will be a chronic carrier of MRSA in your nostrils. I am a Registered Nurse, and I know for a fact that everyone on the planet harbors colonies of staph bacteria in their noses. What makes MRSA unique is that it is staph bacteria that have become resistant to antibiotics because of the overuse/misuse/abuse of antibiotics. I read on the Tennessee Board of Education website an article that was published concerning Community Acquired MRSA and school children. IN the article, it stated that boils will heal with or without antibiotic treatment, so I opt not to take antibiotics when I get another boil. Antibiotics is what has led us to the condition we are in now.
The best thing to do is eat right, get enough rest, practice and be vigilent with your skin hygeine, and avoid stress. I develop these painful boils, always on my face, when I am under stress."

[NAY] 02/04/2008: Sammy from Murphysboro, Illinois writes: "I have a boil on my upper inner thigh. I think it started on Friday, and I started turmeric on Monday. I was taking one heaping teaspoon, in chocolate milk, three times a day. It kept getting uglier and uglier. My wife really got on my case and finally I promised I would seek a doctor if it didn't seem to be getting better in a couple of days.
Thursday rolled around and it was looking pretty bad. I could squeeze out bloody pus, the surrounding area was hard and the red infection streaks were moving down my leg. It was showing no signs of improving and actually was getting progressively worse.
The doc incised it and stuffed in a wick. He also took a culture, which turned out to be MRSA. He also prescribed two weeks of sulfameth antibiotic. BTW, we live in an area of about 30,000 people and the doctor said he is seeing two or three of these a day!
Went back the next day and they found a lot of dead tissue, which he snipped out. Yesterday, I made my fourth daily visit and the doc said it looked a lot better and I can now change the dressing myself.
Maybe I didn't get on the turmeric program early enough, but for now, I would have to say that it didn't work.
One other comment, I was also mixing the turmeric with an antibiotic cream and applying it to the boil (before I went to the doctor).
This later struck me as a very bad idea. After all, it is just a powder purchased at the grocery store with no hint of sterility. Here in the USA we have problems with people getting sick from tainted spinach and strawberries. Why would Turmeric from India be any less risky?
If I have another outbreak, I may try the turmeric a little earlier, but I will also monitor it closely and get to the doctor sooner."

[YEA] 02/02/2008: Steve from Pretoria, South Africa writes: "TURMERIC CURED MY MRSA.
I have been fighting a battle with boils/cysts since February 2007. From Feb to Apr 2007 I have been lanced in the operating theater 3 times, and 5 times in the surgeons consultation rooms. The cysts would appear on the right loin, lanced, then another would appear on the left loin. I have seen an urologist, internist, ear, nose and throat specialist, and surgeon whose answer to everything was lance it. It was a battle which started to effect my work, personal life. Within 48 hours the boil will start, and then grow till ready to burst. I couldn't plan any holidays, trips.
Then after May 2007 it went away, and I was ecstatic about this "remission" as it turned out. Lo and behold October 2007 it can back with a vengeance. Which I had once again lanced. This seems to correspond with Earth Clinic's theory on rain and MRSA because no boil appeared during these winter months.
Then I decided to take my health into my own hands and made an appointment with a natural health practitioner. He did help a lot in reversing free radical damage, etc but he said to cut caffeine and aspartame. Which I did, but the boils re-appeared. My GP said that the medical profession can't help my further. I then went Cyberhunting and came upon earthclinic.com. I have read the testimonies of almost everybody and decided to give turmeric a run for its money. I also decided not to report back within a couple of days to ensure tried results before any feedback.
2 Boils started to appear on my left loin. In less than a day the boils were red and inflamed. I immediately went to the nearest supermarket to purchase turmeric. Within a couple of hours the pain seemed less. The next morning the pain was CONSIDERABLY less and the boils shrunk to 1/3 of its original size. And on day 3 zip, gone, nothing, nada.
I have been using Turmeric for 1.5 months and it is still gone.
I want to thank earthclinic and Ted for their efforts and I would like to state today that you guys have saved my life, literally. I was on my way to fournier's gangrene and I do not think I would've survived that.
Some comments on the Turmeric journey:
It does give you constipation and dehydrate you. Drink plenty water and buy some extra electrolytes.
For the padded problem try Milk of Magnesium, 2 teaspoons should turn on Niagara falls.
I am currently experiencing with dosage, and I am currently running on 1 half teaspoon morning and night. Remember we are all different so test what works best for you.
I wish you well."

[YEA] 01/30/2008: Laina from Los Angeles, CA writes: "This website is a Godsend. I have been battling MRSA boils for about 6 months now. I had one lanced by the doctor which was extremely painful (the boil and the lancing). I also went through three courses of increasingly strong antibiotics. I have to admit, I was living on a horrible diet for a 44 year old woman - way too many carbs and sugar. When the dr. said if the last course of antibiotics didn't work I would have to see an infectious disease specialist, I became dedicated to finding something that worked. I started with oil of oregano which I read about on this site and then added turmeric which I read about on another site. When I tapped into the turmeric, I came back to this site and read all the wonderful information here. So far this combo is a dream. When my last boil came up - three weeks ago, I felt like I was going to lose it. I took 4 tablets of turmeric over the course of the day and honestly, the next day the boil was totally deflated! A dream come true . . . ! I've also revamped my diet and added multivitamins, probiotics and started exercising! Time will tell but I'm optimistic - finally!"

[YEA] 01/03/2008: Elizabeth from Houston, TX writes: "For about a year, I've been suffering with what the doctors told me was a staph infection or boils. I was visiting my mother in El Paso for the holidays in September, October, and November and broke out every month. One of the visits to the ER, I must have had about 12 boils on my buttocks. I told the Doctor that from my visit to the clinic in houston that I had a staph infection or boils. The Doctor's in the ER stated to me that staph infection and boils are all the same. On that finally visit in the ER, the Doctor took a culture sample to test it. Turned out to be MRSA. I was on antibotics for about 15 days. A month and a half went by, and once again, I was suffering with a boil on my buttocks. I tried your 3x's a day turmeric and apply a very hot towel on the boil. It took about 4 days to finally completely drain. I was told about turmeric after boil was big. I think its finally working. Thank You, Earth Clinic."

[YEA] 12/30/2007: Ned from Austin, Texas writes: "re: Turmeric. Works like a charm. The only downside is trying to drink it in warm milk. THe taste is too strong!!! Thinking of buying capsules and just eating them 2x! My bones feel fluid and oiled :) MRSA boils gone (couldn't believe I've been on Septra DS twice in a span of short periods of time). My immune seems to be up. Next step is to do a liver and gall bladder cleanse; then oil pulling and stick to some form of a modified vegan diet (with fish)! Happy 2008 to all coz i have a good feeling :)"

[YEA] 12/13/2007: Terry from Tuttle, Oklahoma writes: "About 2 years ago I started to have boils (which I am pretty sure I picked up at a nursing home during RN clinicals). A few days later, my wife and daughter also had a breakout of boils. We all went to the Dr. and were told that we had MRSA. Each of us had to take Bactrim (orally), Bactroban (swab in nose) and Hibacleanse to bathe with in the shower. After several boils and days of antibiotics, they went away. About 6 months later, I began to get more of these boils under my arm and a couple on my inner thigh and foot. I went back to the Dr. and was told again that I had MRSA and was put on another regimen of Bactrim, etc...I was told that the boils under my arm may never go away as they do not come to a head and drain. I took the meds and all but my underarm cleared up. After about 3 months of continuous boils under my arm, I searched for a "herbal" remedy and found this stie. I ordered the turmeric and began taking 1 teaspoon 3 times a day. After 9 days, ALL of my boils were gone from under my arm. I then decided to back off of the turmeric some and within 2 weeks, I had a huge one on my left arm that had to be eventually drained. I am currently taking the bactrim, etc...but also an antibiotic called Rifampin. I began taking the turmeric again and do not plan to get off of it EVER. I will post again later to let everyone know if the turmeric is keeping them away."

[YEA] 11/13/2007: Asha from Oklahoma City, OK writes: "I've suffered from boils on the inside of my legs by my bikini line and buttocks for almost 10 years. I've had two surgically removed. NOT fun. I somehow stumbled-across this website and was intrigued with all the success stories. I've had three boils on my buttocks for about a year. No way could they be drained without a doctor's visit/lancing. Yesterday I went to the health food store and purchased Tumeric capsules. Took two 300mg caps yesterday. This morning I checked, and the boils had significantly decreased in size, and had started to drain. I can't believe it!! I told my husband and he's also in disbelief. I've taken three more capsules today, hoping the remaining soreness and inflamation will go away in the next few days.
As far as MRSA goes, I wouldn't be surprised if the boils were MRSA. I have worked in hospitals for a few years now, and the scary truth is EVERY hospital of any size has a patient with MRSA at least once a month. They expect it, and really don't do much to keep others from walking into these patients rooms without gowning-up, masks, gloves, etc. The only way I know that a patient has MRSA is if I happen to see it in their chart, or if they have parked a gown cart outside the patient's room. Bottom line: Don't go to a hospital if you don't want to be exposed to MRSA. If you have a friend or relative that works in a hospital or other health care setting, know that they are more than likely carriers of MRSA."

[YEA] 11/07/2007: Jack from Kent, Washington writes: "I developed MRSA in 2005 while in the hospital for an extended period of time, due to complication related to cancer treatment. It has been a recurring problem and I have had outbreaks, which manifest themselves as very painful boils, a number of times since then. I get very sick from the antibiotics that are used to treat the disease and so was looking for some alternative solutions. I read about the use of Turmeric on this site and thought I would try it. I had a boil which was near the point of breaking the skin under my left arm. I began to take Turmeric, 1 teaspoon in almond milk (plain or vanilla flavored) twice a day and within one day the swelling began to go down and within four days the sore has completly disappeared. Thank you to all who have shared their stories on this site, I am know a believer and hope that in the future I can avoid the outbreaks and antibiotics. It is my intention to continue with a small amount of Turmeric daily and I will report the results."

[YEA] 11/06/2007: Shannon from San Luis Obispo, Ca writes: "I had a bad case of MRSA last October while I was working at t a fire station in Tuaolmne County, Ca. I ended up having to go to the emergency room. I developed what I thought was a spider bite in the back of my neck. It kept growing and became very infected and painful. Within 3 days, blood was seeping out of it and it was a contatnt throbbing and Advil would not even take the pain away. I thought I was bit by a Brown Recluse spider! I went to the ER, they said I had a Staph infection, cut the infection out of my neck (I had a VERY deep hole in the back of my neck!) gave me antibiotics and I was off work for two weeks. I had to have someone come over to my house daily and change the dressing in the hole in the back of my neck while it healed. It took about a month to heal. The pain was so bad that I was prescribed Vicodin. I had to take two about a half hour before the dressing was changed just to handle the pain and it was still really bad! (Ironically I was the third firefighter that year at the station that developed this MRSA. We all assumed we were being bitten by Brown Recluse spiders because the station was overrun with them. They were everywhere! A few days ago I developed what felt like ANOTHER bite on the back of my neck fairly close to the spot where I had the infection last year. (this was at a different fire station...) After hearing about all the MRSA infections on the news I started panicking a bit. I thought "am I gonna have the whole back of neck cut out? Why does this keep happening?" I was really worried. Than I found your web site. I bought some Turmeric. I have been drinking it with chocolate milk (alot! ha ha) and I combined it with yogurt and put it on the back of my neck. Guess what? The thing is almost gone after a day of drinking the turmeric! Thank you Thank you Thank you. I am so happy that I found out about Turmeric. Last October was probably the most painful experience I have ever had, I have a terrible scar to show for it and it is nice to know that there can be a cure, a NATURAL cure!"

[YEA] 10/18/2007: Rikki from Denver, North Carolina writes: "This is the first site I've ever seen that mentions big rains or storms before boils show up. I was at the beach during a big storm (just lots of rain and wind) in June of 2006. A week later, my first boil showed up. After that I have had recurring boils (eventually diagnised as MRSA) in various places...buttocks, underarm, under breast, and one on the back of my shoulder (about 12-15 in all, in the past year). I have tried soaks, antibiotics, and turmeric. The antibiotics, healed the boils, but I had to go through excruciating pain and procedures of having them opened and lanced. I found turmeric. I started with the powder in a small glass of water, and that made me flush, so I got the tablets. I've been taking the tablets for about a month, I've had 3 since I started taking it, BUT, I haven't had to see a doctor for any of them, they are still painful but have gotten ALOT smaller, and I am able to treat them myself, because I dont' seem to get sick when I have an outbreak now. Since finding out that I have MRSA, the reality that this is an extremely serious infection has really done a number on me. I'm so scared that I won't be able to fight it off, but for now, I feel that 2 tablets of Turmeric a day is helping me keep it under control. ~Rikki~"

[YEA] 09/18/2007: Christine from Melbourne, Florida writes: "My son was dx with MRSA on his hip last month, from an abrasion. Rather than go through the drugs the dr wanted to give him, I decided to give the turmeric a try first since I have friends who have almost died, been hospitalized for up to 18 days and, now, two that had to have amputations because of MRSA. 'The pediatrician was not happy, but grudglingly went along. For the first 4 days I made a paste of tumeric, baking soda and sea salt. On the 5th day, under the advice of a friend, I grated a raw potato and put the gratings on the wound for about 30 min. We never got another drop of pus out of the MRSA wound. We countinued the paste for 2 more days, and it has healed up beautifully!!! Thanks for the wonderful info! Christine

[YEA] 09/14/2007: Carolyn from Hollywood, Florida writes: "I have found that taking less turmeric more often works better to hold down my MRSA symptoms. For example, I take a pinch, about 1/4 teaspoon in tea about 8 times a day. This gives a more constant control. Be careful not to take too much turmeric as it can cause nausea and bad intestinal pain. Hope my information helps other MRSA sufferers."

[YEA] 09/07/2007: Rusty from Knoxville, Tennessee writes: "I had a large boil come up on my buttock. The pain was terrible. I went to a surgeon who lanced the boil and put me on Keflex. The large boil eventually healed but two other boils came up in the same area. I returned to the surgeon who suggested that I may have MRSA (although he didn't culture it). He put me on Levaquin and told me to watch the boils carefully. If they didn't get better, he was sure i had MRSA. Long story short the boils got worse. In the meantime, I found this site and tried turmeric. Within 24 hours one boil opened itself and began draining and the other boil began to decrease markedly in size. In the next 24 hours both boils were almost healed. I don't credit the Levaquin because i was almost finished with a 10 day regimen and the boils were worsening. I've never been a fan of natural remedies (I'm a Registered Nurse), however, my experience with turmeric has convinced me otherwise. Hope this helps others with this terrible problem."

[YEA] 08/11/2007: Christine Greehy from Melbourne, Florida writes: "I must thank you for this informative site!!! I had read about your theories on MRSA and you have been proven correct! However, I never thought it would affect me or my family directly. I am so thankful I came across your site PRIOR to MRSA striking my son and daughter.
My son got an abrasion from a rock in a local river and it started healing nicely, but in about a week after the injury, he developed a lump under the healing skin. It quickly turned into a bright red, puss filled, painful "boil." I took him to the pediatrician who took a culture, but said 9 out of 10 kids that came in with boils were testing positive for MRSA. He lanced it and told us to squeeze out the puss 2x a day. He prescribed antibiotics and I told him I would use it only as a last resort if the tumeric didn't work.
I mixed tumeric with a bit of baking soda and sea salt into a paste and covered it with gauze. In less than 24 hrs, the wound looked remarkably better. After approximately 48 hrs of treatment, a friend told me an old home remedy for drawing out infection is to grate a raw potato and place the gratings onto the open wound and let it sit until it turns black. After only one application of the potato gratings, we were never able to squeeze out more puss. I continued the tumeric for about 4 days after the gratings for safety's sake and his wound looks great!
Ironically, I dpoke to a friend today whose child and her both got MRSA and they required 18 days in the hospital, surgery and lengthy recoveries. Another friend, who happens to work in an ER, experienced her son getting MRSA. Though she promptly took care of it, he had to have his finger tip amputated because the MRSA got into his bone - all from a simple hangnail! He required 5 days in the hospital and a lifelong deformity because of it.
MRSA is extremely aggressive and dangerous if not treated properly, yet many doctors are refusing to use natural medicines that are so much more effective. Please tell everyone you know about tumeric for MRSA because at this rate, it will strike most of us or at least someone we know and spreading the knowledge of this cure can mean the difference between horrendous scars, outrageous medical bills and excruciating pain for someone you care about!"

[YEA] 08/11/2007: Christine Greehy from Melbourne, Florida writes: "My son experienced MRSA and I successfully used Earthclinic's recommendation for Tumeric, baking soda, and sea salt. However, though his wound was getting much better, we still had to drain the puss from the wound 2x a day which was very painful for him and opened his wound even more.
A friend told me to put grated raw potato on the open wound and let it sit until the gratings turned black. We did one application and never was able to get out any puss after that! It sped the healing of MRSA used in conjunction with the tumeric, baking soda, sea salt paste. I was told to apply it to any infection as drawling salve. Amazing!!!"

[YEA] 07/01/2007: DL from Atlanta, Georgia writes: "It rained here in Atlanta on Thursday night for about 6 hours straight. Prior to that it it hadn't rained much for at least 6 weeks. Sure enough, on Friday morning I awoke with the beginnings of a boil in the middle of my right cheek (face). I immediately drank some turmeric in water and sat with a hydrogen peroxide doused cotton ball to the area. Thankfully the boil started to shrink right away and never broke the surface. Last winter '06 in Los Angeles I got 2 boils on my other side, the left cheek. Will have to check the MRSA survey and see if any others from my area are getting them all of a sudden!"

[YEA] 06/25/2007: Michelle from Long Island, New York writes: "I have been plagues by chronic reaccuring MRSA infections which lead to painful boils. I have been put on antibiotics several times, only to have the infections come back. I know the correct antibiotics were used but they didn't help. I tried the remedy of Turmeric, and starting taking one 500mg capsule everyday. I did this for three days and by the second day my very painful swollen boil started to drain. The boil was not going to drain on it's own had I not taken the Turmeric. I bought the product at GNC, and it was worth it. Also, I took oregano oil one day before startin the turmeric tratment. I then contiuned to use the oregano oil topicaly on the boil for two days. I found that bactraban ointment burns my skin, and oregano oil just has a warming sensation. I also used an over the counter bacitratian ointment, and kept the boil covered while draining. Oh, and used antibaterical Cethpail soap. It is very gentle. The only thing I would note was that the Turmeric does cause constipation as mentioned on the website. Also may cause increased bleeding. I had nose bleed, and when I nicked my leg shaving it bleed longer than normal. Overall, I am happy I found this remedy. Thank you so much. You saved me another unnecessary trip to the derm. They always seem to make me feel more pain than before I go in."
