MRSA

One doctor told me to use bleach baths and to bleach the house. To use antibiotics and treat everyone in the house with nasal cream. Another told me not to worry about bleaching the house because MRSA doesn't live on surfaces. Or maybe it was that you can't get infected with MRSA from surfaces...either way...she was wrong.

A year and a half ago, my sister was infected with MRSA. It cleared up. Then a year ago her husband was deployed a week before she had her third baby. I wanted her to come and live next to me so I could be there if she needed me. Well, while she was here, her 2 year old got MRSA on his thumb. Our kids played together, jumped on furniture together, did everything together. A couple months later, my 18 month old got MRSA on his bum. It was awful. He woke up screaming every night from the pain and when I drained it...well...it was as if I was disciplining him with cruel and unusual punishment. Then he got another MRSA boil on his bum a few weeks later. Then again a few weeks after that...and again a few weeks after that.

About a month after my son's fourth boil, my daughter had a sore on her chest. Then my husband got a sore on his thumb (it infected his entire hand and he had to have emergency hand surgery..it'll be awhile before that's paid off).

Now (about a month after my husband's surgery), my daughter has had two more sores and it looks like my son has one, once again...on his bum.

We have sanitized, MOVED, and still no relief. My sister's son hasn't had it again...nobody in her family has had it again. WHY does my family have to deal with this?! I'm at my wits end and I can't figure this stupid MRSA thing out.

So, I've decided to write about my journey in trying to find a cure for MRSA. Follow along if you'd like. We're currently trying pHenomenal water...I'll let you know how it turns out. We're also trying DoTerra essential oils and we just ordered "MRSA Secrets Revealed".

I'm not a doctor. I'm not receiving endorsements of any kind. I'm just a fed up mom trying to help my family get better and stay better.
