Today is 4/15/2015. I started mixing a tablespoon of turmeric into the mupirocin/silver mixture yesterday, 4/14/15, evening. It is my intention to document the progress, if any, of the addition of turmeric to the regimen.
More to follow.

Three days ago, I started adding turmeric to the prescription ointments I was already using. This mixture was mupirocin, (bactroban), and silver sulfadiazine. Now, I am mixing in about 1/2 tsp. of turmeric, and have been experimenting with amounts. The first day, I added a tbs to the mix and the next day my legs were very tender. The next day, I reduced the amount to 1/2 tsp. I have already been amazed at the progress of my right leg. The swelling is going down and the gravel texture of the skin is going away! There was a spot on the top of the right foot, on the metatarsal arch, that was beginning to develop necrotic tissue. A black spot had appeared and the area was extremely sensitive to touch. Now, the spot is gone and the area is becoming less sensitive.
All in all, I am very impressed. The seeming results that are occurring so quickly... I just hope that it continues and doesn't plateau.
More to come...

Today is 4/21/15. I am writing this as an update on my addition of turmeric to my ointment regimen. After the first day, when I used a whole tbs of turmeric and caused a "burn" on my legs we, (my loving wife and I), reduced the amount to 1/2 tsp. My legs had a "gravelly" texture to the skin when I started the turmeric and the bumps were actually tiny blisters which would "weep". By weep, I mean that they would drain clear fluid constantly. This would soak my pant legs and socks and give off an unpleasant odor. Needless to say, I did not get out in public much.
After six days, starting with the addition of turmeric on the 15th, my right leg has lost most of its gravelly appearance and texture and become smooth skin. There are patches where the redness is starting to go away and return to normal color. This to me is absolutely amazing!
True to its nature, the MRSA has tried to spread to the top of my foot. My wife, who was helping me spread the ointment, noticed the beginnings of some new blisters on the top of my right foot. We started spreading the turmeric-infused ointment on it last night, the 20th. More on that progress to be included in future update/posts.
