RE: was impetigo- now staph

[Guest guest]

Greetings All-

I've had a query from a mother with a 13 year old daughter who started with

impetigo but is now dealing with intractable staph. She is being followed by her

primary physician and has been given 2 rounds of antibiotics. The skin infection

was tested negative for MRSA and they are trying myriad topical treatments along

with the antibiotics.

I'm suggesting a poultice of honey mixed w/ myrrh,goldenseal and comfrey along

with an internal mix of Echinacea, propolis, baptisia, galium, andrographis and

ginger to warm it all up. Along with repairing the damage that the Abx is doing

to the gut.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks much-

I usually use Chelidonium major and Thyme with Staph.
