So sorry to hear your friend is having this much trouble and for so long! You are a good friend!

If I had a loved on in the hospital, I would try the following, based on what we have found helpful for cellulitis.

First of all, it is possible that the hospital staff isn't going to take too kindly to your showing up and "helping." You may need to be discreet in your helping.

1. Bring your friend her "favorite drink" twice a day. 1 cup milk kefir with 1 teaspoon turmeric mixed in (if you decide it is okay to add the turmeric, it is so helpful! ) and 1 teaspoon Manuka honey (Maybe 2 teaspoons if you can't do the turmeric.) You say your friend has lost weight.

2. Bring a colloidal silver spray, if reasonable to spray the area, even every 15 minutes when you are there. (If you are there all day, just hourly.) If the hospital were to allow poultices, charcoal poultices are quite helpful. I have mixed them with turmeric for staph and cellulitis and that has been helpful, though at first the infection can look worse as it is brought to the surface.

Sometimes there will be a place (refrigerator at nurses station) where a patient could have food kept that has been brought for him. Individual bottles of carrot juice would be good. Sadly, most hospitals do not have food that is conducive to healing. It might be good if she weren't too hungry at mealtime!

Your friend should make efforts to keep well hydrated. One of Ted's Alkalizing formulas would be ideal a couple of times a day. You could even bring bottled water for her with such in it to leave with her at her bedside.

If she is not having regular BM's, the carrot juice may help. Turmeric has been reported to be constipating a bit to some, so watch out for that. Regular BMs are important to get the toxins out.

A vitamin C supplement would also be very good. 1,000 mg several times a day. She may well be able to tolerate a good bit more even. The body will eliminate the excess with loose stools.

If it were possible for her to get outside in the sunshine a little each day, that would be great.

I dealt with cellulitis not too long ago with one of my children. The kefir and Manuka honey were key. We noticed that regular sugar and processed foods made healing slow down. Soda pop would also be contraindicated.

I hope you are able to find these things and implement them. Please keep us posted!
