Rhonda: Yes, I have some possible remedies for abscesses and boils, and will see to putting up some info on this when I have the time as I have to review them as to which ones are the best remedies. Currently the treatment for boils and abscesses are taking chelated chromium and zinc acetate, and possibly developing some washing lotion made of copper chloride, zinc chloride, and possibly sodium perborate monohydrate.
Often abscesses and boils are triggered by eating too much sugar, fats (hydrogenated vegetable oils and fats in general), and a suppressed immune system, often triggered by hypothyroidism. You can treat generally by controlling sugar, avoid fried foods, and eating kelp and seaweed.
The best emergency cure is zinc acetate, fulvic acid 2 teaspoon of 1-3%, will quicken or protect against getting getting sore throat. A very nice cure of sore throat is currently sea salt mixed with a potassium carbonate. It will generally work better than apple cider vinegar since both a staph and strep bacteria are generally resistant to acid, but not a relatively strong alkaline and a high salinity solution.
