Absolutley! This is such a great topic and very dear to my heart. Our story is
long but I'll try be brief. If you want read more about our recovery story you
can see it here:

(also some info on our home page, I think?)
I had MRSA symptoms for years which went undiagnosed, misdiagnosed and even
diagnosed without the doctor TELLING me. To add insult to injury, I was even
laughed at when I correctly diagnosed myself (actually a very good surgeon who I
still like alot... he finally got me on the road to recovery by getting me
properly cultured). Most of my symptoms would be considered CA-MRSA but I did
have a finger wound that was making me septic which could be considered
HA-MRSA... the line is so blurry now. I was finally properly diagnosed in 2008
but had just given birth to my 2nd child, a baby girl. After realizing all the
failures that antibiotics had to offer (and with additional concerns for my
nursing baby), I turned to clinically-tested alternative treatments. It was
even better than I expected (I'll admit I still had doubt and A LOT of fear at
that time). I felt better than I had in a long time (you don't realize just how
bad you feel until you finally start to get better). Unfortunately, my baby
started showing signs of MRSA just a few months later (at 4 months old). I'm
proud to tell you that she recovered using the same stuff I did and never took
one ABx at all. HORAAY! We also ended up doing some major diet changes in our
household. We don't go crazy cleaning our home mostly because we just don't
have the time. Alternative therapies and diet change worked with very little
supplementation which I'm just not into. Diet change can seem overwhelming but
I've helped quite a few families with one or two changes at a time. It's not as
hard as you might imagine and more about priorities than anything.
In February, I started a support website. I used to stay awake at night with
all this info running about in my head and it was such a relief to get it all
out. Shortly after that, I started selling stable allicin and offering
consultation for that as well as diet and other things that can help. There is
hope but you must root your hope in knowledge and do your own research. If we
continue to rely on the same things over & over that do NOT work, we will get
the same results. God bless those who do not experience recurrences... they are
few & far between. The rest of us need to take charge of our health care and
make some serious changes if we want to stick around on this planet as long as
possible.
I look forward to reading more success stories.
:-)
