1,000-year-old onion and garlic eye remedy kills MRSA

Was that last year Elegran?
It's not the 1st yet

It might be the 1st in say Fiji or somewhere.

But I expect it is true?

I read it this morning (can't do links) and one of the "miracle" ingredients would appear to be cow bile. It will be eye of frog next I expect, but if it fights MRSA bring on the witches!

Is anywhere 24 hours ahead of GMT/BST? Even Fiji?

Just checked -11 hours ahead of us, 8.05 p.m.in Fiji

12 hours ahead in NZ. Their clocks go back next weekend. in 2 hours 15 minutesit will be April 1st down there.

Ah yes. I forgot that we are in the middle of things, time wise. So some places are only 12 hours ahead, and not the 24.

It was about 1 am this morning - my brain wasn't working too well so I thought March had 30 days.
Could be true then. Weird but very interesting. We are running out of effective antibiotics so any new direction will be good.

Manuka honey will do it too. As a carer I used it on my friend's legs - two years skin infection not responding to antibiotics - with her encouragement....started in October and in February she went on holiday with no bandages.

Manuka Honey is brilliant for persistent coughs also. It has anti-biotic properties. I keep recommending it on here but no one has ever responded.
IT REALLY WORKS.

I have Manuka honey on my porridge, take a spoonful for sore throats and have used it on burns. Seems to work! Sadly since I started using it, it has tripled in price.

Yes, it does. Even my daughter says so!

don't try this at home

I wonder if it has to be cow bile? Maybe other biles would work? [eyesupneighbour'spigs]

I do love a good home remedy - and that is GOOD.

Juliette I shall give your honey a try. What puts me off is, it's

A expensive

B DBH would eat it all

C expensive

Yes it is expensive but I don't count it as a food! Very small amounts work.

Hide it.

AlieOxon would you mind sharing how you applied the honey to your friend's leg?
It was using it in this way that I first heard about it and in very similar circumstances to you.

I would have to hide it.

How I did it:
......sorry if TMI but I feel it may be useful.

Using non-stick 'Tricotex' squares (10 x 10cm) I spread honey thinly, put on raw patches, and covered with greaseproof paper. This was an experiment but held the honey on, unlike a bandage which soaked it away.

(Extraordinarily, the honey doesn't hurt on the sores unless it is too strong, we tried 5+ first, can increase if not enough effect.)
I changed the dressing twice a day at first. Note - hygienic precautions when dealing with this! Also with used bandages.

On top of this, an ordinary absorbent bandage which absorbed any oozing - it does at the beginning. The sores gradually became smaller and less painful over a month or two, needing less dressings and less often, and finally healed up.

Sorry, should have put the last paragraph second!

Ooops, read the OP and immediately phoned my Dentist as I have an appointment on Thursday 2nd of April,,,,
He now thinks I am an even dafter old bat than he probably already thought I was.!!!!!!!

Corrections here. (I've now found the file I kept as a log at the time.)
We started the honey at the end of June and she went on holiday at the beginning of October.

The report I read said the mixture was 90% effective against MRSA. While that is good, it's not a killing.

Well, it worked this time.
