I have a question or request for advice please. I have suffering from boils (staph infections??) for more than a decade, mostly localised in the pubic area. I usually thought they were ingrown hairs but after some research, Earth clinic directed me to reviews of the turmeric remedy which has really helped. However for a about 3 months or more I have been having chills, some really bad chest pains (like once every couple of months), and more recently shortness of breath. Reading up on MRSA symptoms, I wonder if this could be the reason. I have an appointment booked today to force a check-up out of my dr but wondered what remedy I could follow for ingestion. I have been reading up on Milk of Magnesia but have seen no recommendation on how it should be taken internally. For a week or so I have been taking 2 tbsp ACV and 1/4 tsp Baking soda. I also take 375mg magnesium daily.
Any help will be most appreciated.

I felt your pain... Quite literally! I work in healtcare and managed to acquire MRSA from a hospital setting and was devastated. There were so many conflicting explanations from other health folks and scare stories. I was told that I may never work in healthcare becuase I would place patients at risk. I even met with a disease expert, which quite honestly, was a big waste of time. Fortunately, I do not take things lying down. I did some research and came across something that helped me. I am reluctant to name the brand (no, I am certainly not a sales rep for any company), but I was taking allicin (from garlic) daily. This as expensive (and had to be shipped from the UK to the US), but this worked. I am MRSA free (well, all of us have MRSA)... Not a single outbreak in three years... Not one. I will be more than happy to help, as I know how incredibly scary and frustrating this was...
