Thanks. I will pray for your friend then. BTW, I don't know what your avatar is. It looks like a Samurai or Bushido Knight. It always makes me think of this awesome Nico and Vinz music video: youtu.be/jXDiZRCofqY(Not working as expected?)

thanks and thanks for the for the music!......my avatar is alice with her head stuck in "the other side of the mirror" alice in wonderland...

[Bolt_Upright in reply to beehive23]

Oh yeah! Once I clicked on it and made it bigger it was clear. I thought the mirror was a helmet and the backside was the shoulders

[jeffmayer in reply to beehive23]

Where is the MRSA located? On the scalp or somewhere else?

scalp around the dime sized holes and in along the leads a bit. waxes and wanes....

Two that can be effective for MRSA are colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and grapefruit seed extract (GSE). Both are potent antimicrobials that kill MRSA. One of the reasons that MRSA is so hard for antibiotics to kill, aside from bacterial resistance is because it can develop biofilms which protect the bacteria from the bodies natural defense mechanisms and antibiotics. Both AgNPs and GSE have biofilm disrupting activities which can break down the biofilms and then kill the bacteria. GSE is available in a liquid form that can be diluted with distilled water and sprayed directly on the scalp regularly until the MRSA is eradicated. It can also be made into a drink for oral consumption for internal MRSA issues.

AgNPs are significantly more expensive and better reserved as a backup in case the GSE is not effective enough by itself. Here is a typical brand of GSE that I use :

GSE and AgNPs are also useful against Covid-19 as I have previously written about on the forum. GSE is also available in capsules, but I find the liquid more effective in my experience.

ok tried colloidal silver but not the grapeseed thank you! cheers!

[chartist in reply to beehive23]

Grape seed extract is a different product more noted for its potent antioxidant activity. Grapefruit seed extract is more noted for its potent antimicrobial activity.

excellant info! cheers!

[chartist in reply to beehive23]

Colloidal silver on the scalp will be effective, but it has to be kept wet in order for that to happen. If you just apply and let dry, that won't work.

This study says tea tree oil is effective, also you need to treat nasal cavity or it can come back —sciencedirect.com/science/a...

[beehive23 in reply to Gigi216]

yes been using for 2 yrs........thank you though! i appreciate your info! hang tough....

[Godiv in reply to beehive23]

Beehive, they are really pushing DBS these days. I’m not comfortable with the idea either. I feel like now it’s the second resort instead of the very very last resort. But I know people I’ve had good luck with it but it’s scary.

[beehive23 in reply to Godiv]

yes agreed....my uncle had it...watched him die anyway in nursing home....its benefits are limited...cheers! hang tough...

Consider weak solution of hydrogen peroxide 3% food grade diluted to 1%.apply using a cotton bud to avoid getting into eyes.

[beehive23 in reply to Hidden]

months at a time picc line antibiotics..very brutal hard to keep sterile...thank you for the suggestion!

[Hidden in reply to beehive23]

You can clean any equipment by using the baby sterilising stuff too... use it my nebuliser kit.

[beehive23 in reply to Hidden]

ok i wasnt aware of that ill do that ...i have been using vinegar in my ned and bi pap...good idea thank you!

Bee propolis has been reputed to be effective against mrsa. I knew a case where it worked a few years ago. You can take propolis tablets and we use a propolis cream (not for mrsa)

[beehive23 in reply to WinnieThePoo]

ok goodd well try that thanks pooh bear!

[beehive23 in reply to WinnieThePoo]

what do you think of a propolis poultice?

[WinnieThePoo in reply to beehive23]

I have no experience with a poultice . We are big fans of the cream which we get from forever living products and use for all manner of skin problems . But both a cream and poultice will have limited penetration if the infection has followed the wires. The tablets would probably be useful too.

Here in France propolis is quite mainstream. I recently had some propolis honey and lemon throat lozenges from the pharmacy

[beehive23 in reply to WinnieThePoo]

good info! i can get local propolis here in western colorado....thank you!
