[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 356592, member: 1991"] A trick I've shared here before about staph infections; this info came from a microbiologist former neighbour of ours. You apply heat as hot as you can stand it (hot salty water, if you can immerse the site) EVERY THREE HOURS. The reason is, these bugs like to divide about every four hours, and heat interrupts the cell dic=vision of these bacteria. So you hit them with heat, and they have to start it over. And the longer a cell waits before dividing, the bigger it gets. And the bigger a cell gets, the more unwieldy it gets in terms of nutrient transport until eventually the cell dies form old age (ie getting too big for itself). So keep interrupting that mitosis! I found form experience, that what works well is having a three hour interval between the heat treatment and aimming to have three heat sessions in a day (consecutive ones) and then continue into the next day doing the same thing. After three days of this, you should notice improvement. It's not as fast as antibiotics though, so you MUST continue once you start, or the infection merely comes back as bad as ever. Once the bacterial count is low enough, your body does the rest of the mopping up. This is what I do, endorsed by my doctors, because in my case antibiotics are not an easy option. Another problem with antibiotics - for a staph infection in the skin or on a finger or two, the antibiotics have to get into the bloodstream and right out to the periphery. This means travelling often to extremities via capillary circulation, which is where the red blood cells have to line up and get through, single file. In cold weather, circulation is poor. So antibiotics getting to the site - not always successful. Again, heat causes vasodilation and so helps antibiotics get to the site. IN other words - whatever you try, it's all good. But bad boils - it's a good idea to get them seen by the doctor, he can at least do a swab to confirm what it is. Marg [/QUOTE]
