How to Get Rid of MRSA Staph Infection – Our Story
I got a MRSA staph infection on my face after surgery. Unfortunately I didn’t take photos of the initial staph boil, but this is what my fact looked like for the 6 months I battled MRSA. This is what it continued to look like even while I took antiobiotics. You can see where the skin […]

I healed myself from MRSA (sometimes spelled MERSA) It was 2 years ago that I was harboring a post surgery MRSA boil. I believe I got it in the hospital. Although, in hindsight, we made a road trip to NY to see our herbalist/immunologist 2 weeks post surgery. And for some reason having to […]
