Oh and be sure to take lots of acidophilus after and maybe during treatment with antibiotics, they kill all the beneficial bacteria too, you know and you can get pretty sick form an imbalance of the right bacteria in your gut.

Good luck…I’m off!

Here's the wiki link on the sulfa drugs. (something I should have read a long time ago, heh,heh)

I surely hope DeVeria reads your comments before her doctor visit! Lordy, how could I have been so ‘ignurnt’?

lol – that’s pretty funny, but I can see how you might think that. Never thought of it that way.

Thanks karnak12! I’m a southerner and thought the word “sulfa” was just our way of pronouncing it. Never too late to learn, heh,heh. Thanks again.

Good. I hope your doctor doesn’t consider it too old-fashioned to administer. In 1978, 20 years after the staph infections related above, I was ‘gifted’ with a very ugly bacterial infection which only sulphur would cure. Fortunately an older doctor knew the properties of sulphur and that the particular germ would not respond to any of the ‘cillins’. One round cured me. I hope you are as fortunate.

Also, the Sulfa drugs come from an antibacterial group that are Sulfonamide group based. Not Sulphur or Sulfur, which is a totally different thing.

DeVeria, I’m sorry to hear about your MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus)infection. It’s a bad bug not only because it’s cannabalistic, but because it resists normal antibiotics that are available. Fortunately most hospitals check for this immediately when you arrive with a previously unknown infection or lesion. I think it is the law in Canada now.

eCAHN, there is a fiction novel, The Ghost War, written by a guy by the name of Berenson, that covers the same subject. FYI

I go to the doctor on Tuesday and I’m going to ask him about sulfur then…when I’m finished with the IV, I still want to be on something for a while.

Hi DeVeria and all. I’m sure many of you as children remember the “staph infection” that invaded hospitals back in the 1950s. My baby born 1957 and I were victims of that. It manifested as boils which appeared on my baby’s head and my vaginal area about a week after leaving the hospital. It was resistant to penicillin (the later antibiotics not yet created.) Our doctor was a very wise and intelligent man. He cured us with sulpher drugs and neosporin. We never had a recurrence even though the staph germ is said to lie dormant for an unlimited time. I don’t know if that is the same as MRSA.

I discovered an amazing natural cure for bladder infection a few years back. I was then into herb gardening and had a few plants of fennel. I was prone to bladder infections, but did not study the eliminations of my body. One Friday about evening (doctor’s office long closed) I noticed ‘tomato juice’ in the commode. I had read up on herbs for healing, so went to the garden, cut some fern-like stalks all the way to the base which I steeped in boiled water (like tea). To a glass of this tea I added a strong slug of red vinegar and near drowned myself all week-end. Wah-Lah!! come Monday morning there was no hint of pink in the commode. No doctor visit, no Rx script, no antibiotics — all for about $.15 (that’s cents).

I figure if fennel is that strong against bladder infections, it must be pretty darn good at fighting many kinds of infections. It’s a beautiful, graceful fern-like plant which could be grown in pots. As I recall it was self perpetuating as I had it return year after year. BTW, garden pests did not bother it at all.

I hope this suggestion helps, and may you be fully recovered from that infection soon.
