Boils -- Health care worker who contracted M.R.S.A. Had developed a boil the size of my shoulder with the open area larger than a nickel and deep. Excruciatingly painful to lift my arm and had a large lymph node developing in my arm pit. Determined not to be scarred by this nasty boil, it was drained, then I used Arnica on (not in) the surrounding tissue (three times a day) then neosporin within the open wound. Kept it covered and continued treating it and keeping it clean. M.D. prescribed Kelfex...which was a waste of time and money. The boil healed beautifully, no crater or pain left. However, I was growing weaker/ sicker and fairly sure I would end up in the hospital or dead. Both not on my list of \"fun\". Currently on Doxycyline. Do I think it\'s working? Reserving judgement at this time. Will be trying tumeric and Hibiclense.

I am of average weight and have a healthy diet. I spent many, many months trying to pinpoint the source, doing lots of research. I did finally go to an allopathic nurse pracitioner who said it was impetigo (because they use yes/no answers on a computerized diagnosis program. WRONG! I believe that it\'s dermatitis herpetiformus, but I didn\'t want to go through a biopsy to confirm it. It only occurs when gluten is consumed (which is in just about everything packaged). It is exacerbated by hormonal cycles and low thyroid. I think that perimenopause has thrown off my hormone balance and has led to gluten intolerance. Here\'s what helps: stop consuming all grains and follow a diet for candida/yeast. This takes a long time, and it was really hard to do, but it is the only real solution I\'ve found. (After finally healing and staying off flour for a year and a half, I had one slice of pizza, and it\'s deja-vu all over again). Topically, use niacinamide gel (Metazine from Life Link) very frequently (really helps reduce inflammation), salicylic acid gel, and yes, I use cortisone too. I think the niacinamide works best. Vit E is ok if not sourced from wheat. Taking massive supplements hasn\'t helped (like high doses of A, D, E, selenium, zinc, even up to 400mg CoQ10 -no response. I do use curcumin, wobenzym, niacinimide, colloidal silver. Thyroid supplementation has been a significant help. I have used real low doses of doxycycline for a very limited time and it did seem to help a bit but I stopped due to a reaction beginning. I used activated charcoal and it\'s possible that considering the link between wheat sensitivity, leaky gut or IgA deficiency, and the breakout a few days later, that it\'s the charcoal\'s work not the doxycycline that really helped at that time. Of course, maybe it\'s really from chemtrail fallout. Who knows? Whatever it is, it is HELL and the Metazine works wonders. Good luck." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/boil_and_staph_differences.html&name=HIDRADENITISSUPPURATIVA_5238 /CURES/boil_and_staph_differences.rss3 Thu, 18 Jan 07 00:00:00 -0600 [YEA] Jan from Perth, Australia writes: "Several people have mentioned cures that did not work for their boils - particularly those people who had a number of boils in their armpit, breast or groin area. They may want to check to see if they have Hidradenitis Suppurativa which presents like boils in those areas but is not curable. There is a lot of information about HS on the web and it seems to be often misdiagnosed so it may be worth seeing a dermatologist for a second opinion."
