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

Elegran

I think I understand, thank you for replying.

I admit I have never really studied homeopathy , I should find out more as Treddinnik is my MP and he has had a lot of stick lately, as I am sure most GN's know, after all there was a thread on GN recently that followed that line of thought.

I must try harder

Pogs Homeopathy would be if they made up the mixture and put one part of it into a hundred parts of water and shook it up well, then put one part of that into a fresh hundred parts of water and shook it up again, then repeated that a third time.

I think this remedy is meant to be used at full strength.

Drug-Resistance is due to the over-use and misuse of antibiotics- patients' expectations that GPs will prescribe antibiotics for viral (pointless) and minor illnesses and patients not finishing the whole course.
In hospitals the situation is then compounded because the patient is really unwell and there are fewer effective antibiotics to choose from - the 'strongest' ones have often got side effects too.
Natural remedies wouldn't as far as I can see, cause resistance, they've been used for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Honey was used by the Ancient Egyptians!

When I first saw this I thought of MP David Treddinnick, is this homeopathy or not?

I believe one of the reasons bacteria have become so resistant is not just our over-dependence on antibiotics but also the widespread if not overuse of "anti-bacterial" products in the home -anti-bac chopping boards, cloths, and yes, even tea tree oil. Careful washing and scrubbing are much more effective and won't run the risk of bacterial resistance.

I love tea tree oil. I used to use it for all sorts of things - I don't so much nowadays because I always had copious quantities to keep the nits away from the DC's hair - and mine. It's brilliant in the bathwater if you have scratches and grazes from gardening.

Tea tree oil is supposed to be good against Golden Staph.

MRSA diagnosed in May - gone by July.....

I do wish people knew about this especially when I see old people with
bandaged legs....

The first I heard of it was the story of Prince Hal (Henry V) who at 16 received an arrow near his eye - it was removed and honey was part of the ointment used to sterilise the wound. Gory story here if you want to look it up!
But at the time I was using it, the Dermatology Dept at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford was trying it out, quite separately - and the latest is that it's also being tried out as a mouthwash. Must tell my dentist that.

Thanks for that AO
It was very successful on my neighbours DH too. Months of conventional treatment were going nowhere. I know that they used +12 and that is what I always buy.
My neighbour's DH did not have MRSA as far as I know, just very stubborn ulcers which so many older people suffer from.

Wasn't there also a thing about using Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) to completely sterilise hospital rooms? what happened to that?

Well, it worked this time.

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

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.

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.!!!!!!!

Sorry, should have put the last paragraph second!

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.

I would have to 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.

Hide it.

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

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

don't try this at home

Yes, it does. Even my daughter says so!

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.

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.
