Sister, my heart is sick for my 26 year old son, who has overcome heroin addiction and sexual abuse as a child. Now he has MRSA scarring and occasional re-emergence eruptions on his scrotum and inside of his thigh...
The Dr's have him bathing in bleach solution 3 times a week, and told him today that if he wants to stay healthy, he will have to do this the rest of his life. :(
Goddess knows there are worse things than MRSA, many worse things, but to think my beautiful Pagan son has this feeling that he is a modern-day leper and that this is his only hope breaks his Witch Mamma's heart. You are the most learned person I know in our ancient healing ways... Do you have any recommendations for treating the scarring left behind by MRSA ? I was going to suggest he use an Arnica/Liposome cream I get... -- it has been very helpful with the post-herpetic neuralgia I have had in my face for 23 years-- but today the physician said no creams.. not even Hibiclens, as the staph mutates and becomes immune to it.
I can think of no one to ask. Could you point me in the right direction to help clear this potentially deadly infection in my son ?
Her Blessings,
Greetings,
It sounds like your son is showing incredible strength in coming back from both addiction and abuse but I can understand how hard it must be for everyone having to deal with yet another thing. You say that he is still having some recurrences. I wouldn't treat with an oil based preparation but have you looked into applying honey to sores? Something so simple has been shown to help tremendously with staph infections.
Working from the ground up, make any necessary life-style changes to support good health and build up immunity: eating whole foods, organic if you can, drinking herbal infusions daily adequate rest, good hygiene but not to the point of over-sterilizing. Best to avoid antibiotics instead relying on echinacea to combat infection. You would take 1 drop for every 2 lbs of body weight, every couple of hours until symptoms abate and then reducing to 1-3 times a day for the next 7-10 days. Another anti-bacterial herb to look into would be usnea.
I am enclosing a few links to articles of Susun's regarding building up one's immunity which I feel would be very helpful when dealing with staph infections. I would also suggest speaking directly with Susun.
