Onion Pack, Egg Whites
★★★★★
I used all my standard infection remedies, ie colloidal silver, hydrogen peroxide, castor oil packs, ACV, etc. All worked to a degree as the wound never got bigger, and the redness and heat went away, but the wound was not healing, more like just holding-the-line. There was no puss in this wound.
I read a post on another site where the person said that if you like a cure and feel it's working, then stick to that. I realized out of everything I'd been trying, onion packs felt the best. I knew the infection did not like it as after being wrapped, it would sting for 10 minutes, and then go away. Never any puss pockets to pull out, but it felt so much better so I ended up using it every day for almost a week. After that the wound was red no more, was getting smaller and the pain lessened.
This wound woke me up several times at 3am or 4am with pain, not severe but it hurt. Knowing that every infection leaves damage behind, I was concerned. I also noticed alot of people missing legs around here, too. Wow.
The skin around the infection was also affected: slightly swollen (just slight), pink but not red, and I felt a burning/stingy/tingly sensation, like it was slime growing "in" my skin (which is probably what it actually was).
After 5 weeks of the thing, I realized that everything I'd tried all facilitated the release of oxygen and the wound wasn't gone yet, so my thoughts turned to smothering it. I used an egg white, whipped it with a fork (to facilitate easy application), and used a small brush to cover the entire area, from the top of my foot to my knee. I did this in the morning. I could feel some slight pain an hour or two later, but never felt it again. Must've been in its death throes. The infection was gone by the next day!!
In looking at pictures online, I realized I may have had that flesh eating disease, but it never progressed past that first morning in size, redness, pain, etc. And I hear that it is a fast progressing disease and I had to fight it really hard to just hold it in place and not get worse. Did I have it or not, I will never know, but the pics sure were similar. I was too scared to look them up before I could get a handle on this thing and my eyes popped out when I saw similarities to my own wound. Did simple things like an onion and an egg stop flesh eating disease - the answer is, it could have; I sure think so. I've had infections before in my time, but never one like this. I am glad to see it gone!
Stay well, everyone.
