Anyone know about this?--Boils and...

[Guest guest]

This is from Nutritional Healing by James and Phyllis Balch

 

Boils, referred to as furuncles by medical professionals, are round

pus-filed nodules on the skin that result from infection with

Staphylococcus aureas bacteria.

The infection begins in the deepest portion of a hair follicle, and

then the bacteria bore into the skin's deeper layers and the

inflammation spreads.

Poor nutrition, illness that has depressed immune function, diabetes

mellitus and the use of immuno-suppressive drugs are common

contributing factors.

The disorder is common, especially among children and

adolescents. Boils often pear on the scalp, buttocks, face, or

underarms. They are tender, red and painful and they appear

suddenly.Symptoms that a boil may be forming include itching, mild

pain and localized swelling. Within 24 hours, the boil becomes red

and filled with pus. Fever and swelling of the lymph glands nearest

the boil may occur.

 

Boils are contagious. The pus that drains when a boil opens can

contaminate nearby skin, causing new boils, or can enter the

bloodstream and spread to other body parts.

A Carbuncle is a cluster of boils that occurs when the infection

spreads and other boils are formed. The formation of a carbuncle may

be an indication of immune depression.

 

Without treatment, a boil usually comes to a head, opens, drains and

heals in ten to 20-five days. With treatment, symptoms are less

severe and new boils should not appear.

 

 

 

 

It then goes on to recommend several forms of treatment as in

essential (chlorophyll liquid, colloidal silver, Garlic),

Important ( proteolytic enzymes, Vit A and E, and C,)

Helpful: ( CoQ10,Kelp plus multi-mineral complex,Raw thymus

glandular,Silica or oat straw.)

 

A number of herbs are recommended:

 

Burdockroot and pau d'arco = natural antibiotics that help rid the

body of infections and toxins

 

Dandelion, milk thistle as liver cleansers

Echinacea and goldenseal for cleansing lymph glands (for golden seal

some warnings in case of cardiovascular, diabetes or glaucoma..

Oat straw is a source of silica

Onion poultices are good

Red Clover as an antibiotic and blood purifier, also good for

bacterial infections

Suma boosts the immune system.

 

Recommendations:

Amongst some common sense recommendations regarding care of area to

avoid further infection it is recommended to do a cleanse fast to

clear the system and rid the body of toxins that my cause boils.
