Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 From Suzy Cohen's '24 hour Pharmacy' Boils: They start out as red spots, then fill with pus and get tender. Most boils come to a head on their own and often rupture and drain by themselves within a week or two. They tend to pop up where you sweat or feel friction, especially on your neck, armpits, bottom, thighs, or sometimes on your forehead or face. You're most likely to get them if you've got a suppressed immune system or diabetes, or if you're simply run down. Your pharmacy sells Boil Ease to numb the pain and promote healing. Or get some tea tree oil at the health food store, or perhaps a natural ointment containing slippery elm. My readers tell me that rubbing some oil of oregano onto their boils right at the onset keeps them from fully developing and lessens their duration. Another folks remedy has you eating lots of fresh garlic and turmeric spice and applying the juices of garlic and onion to the boil to bring it to s head. Finally, there's an odd time pharmacy remedy called ichtammol, a thick black ointment that draws out the toxins. Most drugstores still sell it under the brand name Draw Out Salve. From the above I draw the conclusion that a somewhat suppressed immune system, or being run down, is the culprit. Could it be that he has the very early beginnings of diabetes? It somehow indicates a painful elimination of toxins in the blood stream. The application of garlic juice or onion juice makes me think that either an application with DMSO would help or perhaps ingesting MSM, both being rich in sulphur. Hope this you a bit of a lead. Hanneke Hey all My son --28--gets these boils that get very painful---and keep coming back every few weeks. When he gets a bout of them he feels flu like symptoms and extrem fatigue. The doctor he goes to just treats it like an infection but with the fatigue and all I think it has to be something more. He is in good health otherwise and pretty good habits---but this is really draining him. Any ideas? Thanks Bea avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
