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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

But I expect it is true?

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

This sounds wonderful - but I found the report in the early hours of April 1st. I do hope that it is true.
