My question is what would be the best home treatment for it as I do not want to take antibiotics. I was reading about the hydrogen peroxide and apple cider vinegar mixed with water. Is there anything else and will this bleach my hair?

Peroxide is an antiseptic, not a dye. Good luck with your treatments for Acinetobacter Scalp Infection.

I have a gram negative infection on my face that appears as stubborn acne, please give me herbal or natural advice on what to put on my face and what to eat. I've been putting Apple cider vinegar on my face, is this helping? I don't know what else to do? Should I put tumeric or garlic on my face? If so, how? I need to get rid of this infection before it spreads gets worse. Please help.

Hi A,
If it were me, I'd try a few things both topically, and internally.
Topically:
* colloidal silver misted skin several times per day.
* papaya powder mixed with a small amount of water to make a paste. Leave on til dry and rinse off. This unclogs pores. Use a few times per week.
* moisturize with a small amount of organic expeller / cold pressed sesame seed oil. Can add 1 drop of essential oil, such as lavender, tea tree, frankincense.
* at night apply a thin layer of castor oil.
*** I would definitely get an LED light face mask that has the option for blue and ultra violet lights. Those spectrums are very powerful antimicrobials. I've seen them sold on Amazon, and have seen very positive feedback in treating acne.
Internally:
* do some form of intestinal cleanse. My favorite it from Chakra Foods.
* take a spoonful calcium bentonite clay mixed with a teaspoon or two of psyllium husk and 16oz water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
* a few teaspoons of turmeric daily.
* you can also try oregano oil and / olive leaf extract for a period of time to cleanse you internally.
* Probiotics- take a high potency probiotic after you've finished an intestinal cleanse. The health of the gut is linked to the skin.
Lastly, manuka honey is anti-bacterial. Perhaps you could get a small jar and experiment with applying it as a mask. Leave on for 20-30 minutes.
Good luck and let us know how it goes!

My concern is I want it out of me and the antibiotic did not seem to do this or kill all of it. I am scared silly that my sons may get this. I am the epitomy of clean, but have to admit it is hard cleaning a 3025 square foot home regularly.
I am ready to vacate the home and leave it to the mortgage company, get out and go somewhere I feel is not an issue. When first buying the home, after one week I noticed the red color in the commode. I asked then and was advised this is not an issue, keep commodes clean with bleach added regularly and no problem. No one said this could be airborne and cause major issues. I am inclined to sue to get this cleared or the property returned.

There is a doctor in England that has had excellent results fighting MRSA with Allican. Allican is a compound created by the living garlic plant when you crush it. The plant creates this compound to heal itself. Turns out that this compound is very powerful against infection. Getting or growing garlic would be an excellent idea for people having infection problems.
Also, Check into colloidial silver spray. It is a very effective colloidial silver with the ability to kill MRSA.
Stay away from sugar while fighting infections.

S. marcesens is closely related to e coli, it's what tthey use instead when they do research. On surfaces, bleach, iodine, lysol can all get rid of it and it doesn't take much. Internally, I'd try iodine, peroxide, or silver.

Sonyae: A tribe of native Americans did not catch European diseases because they took a five mushroom blend. Carnivores who ate anthrax infected carcasses survived because they ate raw herbivores who ate raw wild harvested greens. 200 beneficial microbes, 2 1/2 lbs., 10 times more than cells, 70% of the immune system, dwelling in the gut, communicate and cooperate with each other. Feeding them cooked regular food weakens them. Antibiotics poison them. 1 yeast is not going to make him well, it's going to make wealthy people wealthier. Make home brewed water kefir, green smoothies from organic baby greens, take a 17 mushroom extract blend from Washington, watch raw food videos, and take the super foods.

Dear Sonyae,
I am so sorry your brother has developed this infection.
Yes, I am sure taking pro-biotics is good since he is taking anti-biotics.
Is the infection localized? Is he still in the hospital? It may be difficult to get them to allow you to try anything to treat it, if so.
For a localized infection, we have found charcoal poultices to work very well. But, again, if he is in the hospital, I am not sure they would let you do it. If you are able, change the poultice every 2-4 hours. There are instructions on making them on the activated charcoal page.
Garlic and turmeric are excellent anti-biotics. These you can give him, assuming they allow outside food. They might think his room smells terrible....but it will be worth it.
If possible get organic garlic. Use a garlic press to mince 1 medium to large clove (one piece of the whole bulb) and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then put it in a spoon with honey, or on some bread with honey or butter and give it to him. You would want to do this every 2-4 hours.
You can also give him 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric in water or milk 4 times a day. Turmeric can be constipating and should be taken with plenty of water. If he is not moving his bowels at least once a day, this will hinder his healing.
If there is any way you can get fresh organic carrot juice to him, a quart a day would not be too much for him to have daily.
Please keep us posted. I am praying that he is healed soon.
