Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 The only advice I found on a staph infection was " boils " , so this may work here, too, but... !) Flax & fenugreek mashed as a poultice. 2) Burdock, goldenseal, olive (leaf?) oil extract, red clover, & pau d'arco (propolis in tincture form) for natural antibiotics. 3)dandelion, milk thistle, red clover, and burdock to cleanse the blood and liver. 4) Echinacea and goldenseal to clean the lymph. 5) Oat straw as a tea for inflamation. 6) Onion as a poultice wrapped in a cloth - not applied directly to the skin - as a poultice. 7) Suma for immunity. 8) Tea tree oil as an antiseptic Nutrients: 1) Colloidial silver applied topically; garlic 2 caps/3x/day; 'green foods " drink. 2) Proteolytic enzymes; vitamin A w/carotenoid complex @75,000iu for 1 month, then 25,000iu until; vitamin E @600iu daily; vitamin C w/bioflavanoids 3000-8000mg in divided doses; zinc @ 50mg.. 3) CoQ10 @ 60mg & Coenzyme A; kelp @ 2000-3000mg in divided doses and multimineral complex; raw thymus @ 500mg/day; silica or oat straw. You can use any or all of these that may work, but the " nutrients are grouped from " essential " (1), " very important " (2), " helpful " (3), but all will not be necessary most likely, and you should follow label directions when dosages aren't listed. Hope that helps a little! From the book Prescription for Nutritional Healing (3rd edition) In Health, Steve ----------------------------- I am searching for an alternative way to treat impetigo.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 I would suggest Colloidal Silver 500 ppm internally and externally. Dilute in water and sponge the affected area. Take internally once daily. tjames wrote: > I am searching for an alternative way to treat impetigo.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 > I am searching for an alternative way to treat > impetigo. I would be using Tea tree oil lotions or dilute straight. Its cheap here in Australia and excellent antibacterial, anti viral and antifungal- they are even using it in hospitals for golden staph because the anti biotics dont work so well. good luck Peela ===== May the long time sun shine upon you, all love suround you, and the pure light within you guide your way on.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 I did find a book that mentioned impetigo finally, and it suggests drinking a tea of: 1 part echinacea 2 parts wild indigo 1 part pasque flower 1 part poke root 3x/day. Meticulous hygiene is essential; a diet rich in fruits and green veggies; 2G of vitamin C/ day; raw garlic; herballly, you need antimicrobials, alteratives, and tonics, along with a lotion (externally) of 1 or more of the following: echinacea, myrrh, marigold, or wild indigo.
