Dear Brooks,

Thanks for reminding me of what I already knew.  I was just hoping someone had 
a first hand experience with CS and relief from staph.  I thought there might 
be just one person at least who could say "yes, I cured it"  but alas it didn't 
happen.  I guess only Lyme, colds and flu are the sicknesses persons on the 
list are curing.  I take CS but have only had the occasion to relieve my own 
cold symptoms in one day.  Haven't had anything other than that to cure.

Thanks again sir.  I appreciate your response.

Trem

                    Dear Trem Williams. 
                        It is my sad duty to opine that the likelihood for 
gaining a succesful modification in the immediate thinking of this patient's 
alleopathic medical counsel is.........diminishingly slim----and none.  There 
are reasons, far too numerous to list, that would clearly substantiate this 
statement.  However, it is not necessary to go beyond (1)  the compelling 
influence of a "peer controlled", professionalized culture of 
conformity----which rewards allegiance and punishes variation and (2)  the very 
real threat of socio-economic sanctions of a magnitude synonymous with "total 
destruction of life-style".   There is, simply, NO existing countering 
consideration sufficient to overcome this overpowering influence-------except 
for the occasional spiritually-driven martyr.  You can count these, almost, 
upon the fingers of one hand;  Semelweiss, Pauling, Douglass, Regelson, et al.  
After 40 years of professional/academic association with alleopathic medicine 
in America I feel entitled to express this opinion----not against any 
individual (for there are many fine M.D.'s in this country), but rather, to 
highlight a system which has, literally, plundered the physical health and 
well-being of multiple generations of an undeserving  group of recipients.      
         
                    This is one of the primary reasons I have dedicated both 
the recent past, and all of my remaining future, to our  private charitable 
research foundation.  I feel compelled, not through conscience or guilt, but 
through concern and sympathy for sentient life----as do my associates.  Please 
forgive this old man's semi-coherent blandishments, but I would like to remind 
all that........there still live among you some  who really care. 
                            My sympathy to all who suffer.   Sincerely.  Brooks 
Bradley.

     Hello fellow listers, Does anyone out there have any direct information on 
the use of CS in treating a staph infection?  I am interested in first hand 
experiences, anecdotal experiences of others, reports that are published; 
anything will be helpful.  We have a friend in the hospital with a staph 
infection and need info for the doctors to be convinced to use it.  They are 
using vancomycin and we want to have them supplement with CS. Thanks for any 
help.  It's really appreciated. Trem Williams
