Jason is correct. When I had MRSA the doctor prescribed a two-week course of Duricef (Cefadroxil). When it returned, I found that a shot of Vancomycin (in my butt) actually jump started the next round of antibiotics - Doxycycline. I used CS the whole time, and still do, which I believe helped clear any leftovers. But a culture (usually taken from the nostrils) must be done in order to find out what antibiotics are resistant and which are not. Hope that helps.

THIS is assuming that you are correct when you state that the infection is actually MRSA. Has your doctor actually had the bacteria cultured? If it is CA-MRSA, then your doctor needs to wake up, as this type of infection is treateable with antibiotics, but not the ones he's prescribed to date. If it is CA-MRSA, then the spread of this infection needs to stop. Your doctor should have immediately done a risk assessment, and then even considered doing a quick vector analysis. WHile CA-MRSA is susceptible to rifampin, it is obvious that the regime is not actually eliminating the infection. What your brilliant doctor is thus doing is encouraging an even MORE aggressive strain of MRSA to develop. If this is CA-MRSA, then a specialist needs to consider using clindamycin and vancomycin. Topical Mupirocin has also been used, in conjunction with the right dosages of the right antibiotics, effectively. However, I do not know how far you will get with the MD's. You may need to get a bit more aggressive with them. If you do not find satisfaction, then you are welcome to email me off list, and I would be glad to assist your family with strategies in eliminating the infection through alternative methods. Also, try to FIND OUT where the infection came from. It would help if you knew how it originally ended up in your family. Identifying this would help prevent the possibility of re-infection.

I was referred by Hanneke. This all started last year when my daughter had what we had assumed was a bug bite that got infected. It literally became a large puss filled abscess that exploded one day. Doctor subscribed anti-biotic's it went away (for a while). Next was my wife, she assumed she was bitten by a spider on top of her index toe. A small red spot turned out to be a huge swollen abscess on top of her foot that led to immense pain, a laceration for drainage and two weeks of wound packing. Since then my son and daughter again have both had pussed filled sores that were treated with anti-biotic's. Apparently anti-biotic's are only a temporary fix. We have popped and squeezed them each time they came, knowing if we don't, they will become abscesses' again. Well, my wife now has another abscess on top of her foot, she went to the doctor this morning, they prescribed Ripafin and Bactrim. I was so frustrated this morning, I began to research, leading me to this list. Another illness they all suffer from is the whooping cough. The only thing that's seams to help is less dairy, cough suppressant, sleeping with their heads elevated and time. But the cough and sores always come back. I want to try CS, so whats the best way? OxySilver is expensive and states home brews are dangerous because they dont have nano size particles. I can afford Oxy Silver for a while, but what about the silver coin in fresh milk trick. There must be a common ground here. Thanks, the Moore Family Do you think America has run off track? I think so. To get it back on track, this video is a must see.
