I am sorry I cannot help Jack but I too am curious about treating staph. Didn't 
they call it bad blood or something in the old
days<G>? I believe this is one of my problems.
I had a similar experience with doctors a few years ago, they told me I had 
liver cancer and sent me to another doctor, a
month wait. I was "saved", next test showed no cancer, but for one month I was 
dead in my mind, these docs bug me<G>.  I have
the same problems with veterinarians  so that is why I came here for help with 
my horses too<G>. I wrote someone about the
supplies they wrote of to make my own silver but never heard back, Mike has 
been helping me with dosages for the animals but
now I need advice on where/how to make my own, will need rather large amouts so 
will need to spend more up front. Forgive me
if my memory is not good, I have neuro problems from nutrasweet.   Deb
