Mrsa destroying quality of life

Posted By Jj (Denver, Co) on 03/12/2012

I found out about the superbug MRSA by getting it after shaving a few months ago. I lived in Phoenix and was told this is something I already had, and one day while staying in Denver through the holidays I shaved and in hours had boils, sores, and finally hospitalized for MRSA. The dr's had no idea what was going on. My girlfriend was going crazy because I was so upset and saw something but couldn't put my finger on it. Finally after three visits to the er, I was admitted and told about this superbug. When I was admitted I had a hole in the side of my face on my jaw line that a half dollar coin could fit through. There was black beads inside and pus and blood seeping out. I cried often as I do now. The sight of any black in our house makes me cry and I dig at anything under my nails out of fear that this is coming back. Well it always does. It has never gone away. I do not have state insurance, and since I'm single and have no dependent children I can't get state insurance. The dr's only help me as much as they have too since there is no insurance to bill. Pain med's, and antibiotics is all I ever see.

Now I can't get out of bed because I'm so tired and fatigued all the time. I sit in bed and cry when the hairs fall out of my face or head. I can watch the sores come back leave scars and go away and come back another day. I have tried many things, eating better, adding garlic to diet, cutting out cigs, I don't drink so that was easy. Tea tree oil is next and so is barley and yogurt with live bacteria.

But when does this end? I have had thoughts that I cannot go through this again. I can't watch the monster tear my family up by tearing me up. I try to work through the pain, depression, and anger. I am here on this site just looking for support and someone else that knows what it's like to hurt all the time and just want to give up. Thank you.. JJ

Jj I do know that copper will kill MRSA. On contact with copper surfaces 99% of MRSA will be killed within 2 hours. You can research it. If you can't find a supplement of copper, it stands to reason that if you get a piece of copper (or a flat copper plate/dish) and put it against your skin it will kill the MRSA. If you try this let us know how it goes. Good luck.

I have a friend who has some stuff that can help calm down your mrsa I don't think it's a cure all but will certainly make a difference. I happen to know 4 people who have mrsa and only one doesn't now because he caught it early and got antibotics and got over it. That's all he knows. I know antibiotics do nothing for mrsa. Would like to give your name and # to my friend so he could call and talk to you if thats ok.

It's too bad your friend couldn't come on here and help the masses afflicted with this nightmare as opposed to calling and talking to a few... Just saying.

In regards to MRSA: I have used turmeric sucessfully for quite a few folks and it usually clears it up quickly. I first read it here at earth clinic about 4 years ago.

The suggested dose is one teaspoon of turmeric stirred into a glass of water, taken 3 times daily. My friend did not want to take it that way - so I suggested that she fill capsules and take 5, three times daily with a full glass of water and some garlic.

She did this faithfully and within 3 days the boils were dried up and going away.

This winter my grandson was in Thailand with his parents going to school there. There was MRSA on the campus. She called and asked what to do. I recommended a small slice of raw potato to pull the stuff to a head. He took the turmeric and applied potato to every boil until it drained. Then they applied a bit of moistened turmeric to the drained boil and soon the MRSA was a a thing of the past. She got excited and spread the word and everyone that did this soon cleared up. The interesting side note is that one young man did not believe in , "kitchen medicine, " as he called it and he did not do the treatment. When they left 4 months later, he was the only one that was still struggling with it.

Regular hi doses can lead to dehydration and constipation so use it when you need it and for a week after it is clear, with lots of water.

Then if it ever rears its ugly head again start immediately to use it and you should soon have good health.

Hope this helps.

I remember seeing that colloidal silver kills MSRA. Perhaps that might be something to look into.

Hi, First of all my heart goes out to you, as I have Mrsa, also, that I have had for the past four months. Went to the sliding scale clinic, as we have no insurance, too busy giving it here to the illegals (health insurance), and the antibiotics actually made it worse, as they lower your immunity. Keep the faith. I have been using Manuka honey on my outbreaks, and have to change bandaging 2-3 times a day. I understand, and will pray for you, I am battling the flu , now, thanks to all the useless doses of anti-biotics. We are going to try this place next, if my infection does not get healed, called ______. Just go to ______, they say it will kill 99.9 percent of mrsa in 24 hours, don't know if true, but the active ingredient is from the Oak tree.

Manuka honey from New zealand or jelly Bush honey from Australia, has killed every superbug thrown at it, the honey is from bees that feed off the manuka tree common to these two countries. ( latest from scientific testing)

Gavin how do you know which Manuka Honey from New Zealand? On Amazon there are about 10 choices of Manuka Honey. Is there a cetain brand you suggest, as some are active and some not.. Thanks

That's the problem, they mix the pure stuff with the poorer to make a comercial blend.. But in the supermarket here the expensive one at 17 dollars for 500grams, is claimed to be the pure stuff. The ordinary clover honey is 5 dollars. That's kiwi dollars. It might be best to check with a reputable health food supplier. It's a grainy dark honey, and crystalised. Either that or e mail a supplier at source and ask them if they will send some by air mail.

There are suppliers that are certified to produce the medical grade honey and it takes a couple of days to get it to the USA. If you google "Medical grade manuka honey" you will see who is certified to produce the 16 grade.. It's about 40 nz dollars but you will only need 500gms. If you pack the wound, and then bandage. In fact do the same as for ulcers, it feeds the wound from the outside. It might be worth getting a good grade honey and doing it anyway. Make sure its the crystalised sort as some of the free flowing stuff is mostly sugar, and shouldn't be sold as honey.

I am surprised no one here seems to know about using Ozonated Olive Oil (OOO) for MRSA. There are many different manufacturers online where it can be purchased. This will knock out MRSA very fast.

Medical Ozone of course is known as the most powerful antibiotic/virucidal/fungicidal in existence, and in 100 years of use, no bacteria has been known to develop a tolerance or resistance to it or to mutate against it.

One man who developed MRSA on many parts of his body while in the hospital for major surgery, and despite many antibiotics still could not get rid of the MRSA on his thigh, was given the ozonated olive oil to apply and within one day it cleared up and never returned. He has in turn shared it with many MD's who have been impressed with the results.

A German tourist came in to the clinic with MRSA on both legs almost down to the bone on one wound, from a fall here in Guatemala, and was on crutches with severe pain from the wounds.

She was at the end of her fourth round of hospital administered/prescribed antibiotics with still no relief. She was given two treatments of minimal subcutaneous ozone gas injections around the wounds, which were also washed out with ozonated water.

In 10 minutes the pain was gone and never returned. In two days the deep wounds had closed, infection cured and she was able to return home with complete accelerated healing.

Please consider giving the ozonated olive oil a try. It is inexpensive, usually around $14 or less, and easy to purchase. There are some manufacturers selling other ozonated oils such as hemp and others in addition to olive oil, but please be aware that the olive oil retains the highest concentration of ozone.

The oil, if kept in the refrigerator will maintain its strength for 10 years or more and can be used for any cuts, infection, skin condition, even herpes blisters successfully. It is great for pets too.

Hope this helps! So sorry to know that so many are suffering with this problem!
