Stph infection for 3, please help

I acquired a staph infection while I was pregnant from using the bar soap of a family member. I then gave it to my husband and then our baby got it when he was born. We've had it for about 3 years now. I should say, I went to a dermatolgist who said he thought it was a staph infection but couldn't get a culture on it since I was treating it fairly successfully w/ herbs. The problem is as soon as I almost get rid of it I get back again from my husband.

I get the skin eruptions which now are red w/ pale skin around it. I get them mostly on legs, some on lower back, butt. I don't get the full out boils anymore because I'm treating it w/ apple cider vinegar. It's worse at night or when I'm too warm, under covers or w/ tight fitting pants on, in a skirt with friction between legs, hot baths or showers make it worse. I become anxious, have anxiety, hopelessness and anger about it. I feel very angry toward the family member who I got it from even though I know it's not his fault. I'm addicted to sugar and dairy. I'm gluten intollerant, lactose intolerant and do not tolerate soy very well. I want to get pregnant again, but I want this gone first. My son is still breastfeeding, he's 2 1/2, he often has times where he has no visible eruptions. I'm taking silicea & apple cider vinegar & accidophilus currently. Also, we did do 2 rounds of antibiotics to try and get rid of this right after I gave birth, it made it worse, it came back w/ a vengence. I feel so hopeless about getting rid of this, I can't stand it. Please help.

Thanks

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
does it itch..

whats the actual suffering, the sensation like pain, itch or burning etc.

are the eruptions

- dry or wet,
any discharges
- smooth or granular,

- how does it respond to touch, scratching.

- are they isolated or in groups.

Hi

Thanks for replying. It's itchy and at night there's often a slight burning that is very irritating. The eruptions are dry now. When I first got the infection, it was more like boils and discharge was smooth. If I scratch, an eruption will form. They are isolated and mostly on inner thighs.

please take SULPHUR 200C one dose in the morning and one in the evening in empty stomach.

please take it for some three days and note the changes.

as soon as the changes are observed, reduce it to one a day for some days more till the itch reduces significantly.

So, to clarify.

200c in the morning and then evening.
then reduce to one dose of 200c per day.

Should I continue taking the apple cider vinegar and accidophilis?

Thanks so much, I'll try it.

no need to continue other remedies.

just take sulphur for 3 to 4 days and if there is absolutely no response, please discontinue.

Hi, I could not find 200 c. I did find 30X, and the woman at the store told me I could take 1 of those to make 200 c. Is that true?

Also, you said no need to continue the other remedies . Is that because they may interfere? Thanks

i would suggest you to try for 200c potency from the shop.

its true that 200c potency can be made out of the 30c potency through potentisation. but i would not recommend you to do it at home as it requires a specific technique.

but you can take 30c potency for the time being.

take it for some days and note response while you wait for the 200c potency to come.

if you get a response, its fine otherwise you can take 200c next week.

Hi, thanks so much for your help. I'm sorry, I don't understand homeopathic dosages at all. What I found was 30x. I was told if I took one, instead of 4 it would be about 4 pellets of 200c. So anyway, this moring my husband and I took one of the 30x on an empty stomach. Should my 2 1/2 year old take it as well, or well he get it sufficiently through my breastmilk? If this dosage doesn't work, I'll get the 200c. Thanks so much again.

how did you take the pellet.

its best to take some 2 to 3 pellets directly under the tongue and chew it slowly till it gets dissolved by itself.

thats one dose.

before your husband takes sulphur, we need to know if the modalities of his ailment is the same as yours.

its not recommended to blindly take one remedy for one ailment. individuals differ and so does the remedy.

same goes with the child.

please note the modalities of the ailments of your husband and your kid.

they may or may not need sulphur.

Hi, I took one pellet under the tongue, because I thought that would equal the 200c dose you recommended. So I'll begin to take 2-3 pellets then today. This is the second day I'm taking it. Yesterday the infection irritated me more than usual. Is it notmal for it to get worse before it gets better?

My 2 1/2 yr old son, itches some. He gets the eruptions mostly on his legs and butt and they are dry and red. Very often he seems to have none. He does have a few though on the inside of his elbow. One is larger than the others and looks to be more boil like. It's been there for a couple months and hasn't erupted or changed at all. His gets worse in baths, so I have him take showers instead.

My husband also has them on his legs, butt and also back. He says he doesn't notice it much. I see him itch a little. They often are dry eruptions, but boil like on his back quite often. He says he hardly notices it, except when he is hot or perspiring. Baths make it worse.

Thanks

it seems that the modalities of the eruptions are the same in all the family members.

in such case, infrequent doses of SULPHUR 200C is advisable for all.

one dose in two to three days for your son and husband would clear out the eruptions in few weeks.

Hi

Ok, so my husband and son should take one dose aad then wait 2 or 3 days and take another? Then continue that for a few weeks?

Now, I've taken a dose evening and morning for 3 days now. Then I should cut it to one dose every day until it clears? Mine seems a little better today. It seemed much worse for the first 2 days. Is that normal?

Thanks

yes, the itch will get cleared gradually. if the itch aggravates before clearing out, it shows that that your body has over reacted but its actually a good sign. it will finally subside and get cleared.

let your husband and son continue for 3 or 4 doses or upto the point when they notice a change.
