MRSA EXISTS IN OUR EVERYDAY WORLD
It seems many of us know someone who is suffering with Staff Infection/MRSA and the story always seems strikingly similar. Round after round of antibiotics with no improvement, and no other options.
A friend’s son had MRSA in 2008. He is in college, young, strong and athletic, ate healthy… still after three rounds of antibiotics he was in trouble with sores erupting sporadically around the body that tested positive for MRSA and of course, feeling exhausted and unhealthy when he had every good reason to feel great.
I sent along some options and they chose to give it a try, ordered some of the therapeutic grade essential oils and a few supplements for internal defense (the oils are big infection fighting immune boosting entities). Several months later, he’s doing very well, no more MRSA symptoms, has his energy back, etc. Following a recent surgery in 2009 to repair an injury testing revealed no MRSA.
So I am sending the following example along to plant a little seed. That it is a nurse utilizing this procedure is rather affirming. More and more health professionals are looking outside of the box to find resources. Essential oils are man’s most ancient medicine… we just forgot them for a while.
If you or someone you know wishes to know more about these essential oils, please contact me. I’ll be happy to help.
In good health,

NURSE'S APPLICATION TO MRSA WOUND / SANITIZING THE WORK PLACE
I have had occasion to use essential oils on two people with non-healing wounds which had been treated with Vancomycin for MRSA. On both, I started by cleansing the wound and the surrounding tissues with the foaming Thieves soap.
I then painted a 2 inch area around the wound with purification. This was a lengthy process as I waited 5-10 minutes between each oil I used so I could make sure I wasn’t causing more pain or discomfort.
I then followed with Thieves right into the wound, followed by Lavender and finally PanAway. In both instances the person was having a great deal of pain and inability to walk easily on the extremity. The more dramatic result of the two folks was the ability to walk on his ankle without his cane and without any pain.
I work in an acute care hospital and I have occasion to swab people’ hands and fingernails, as well as have access to the swabs we do on inanimate objects in the facility. I am hoping to get the microbiologist to work with me to do some testing when we get a live MRSA, to see if the Thieves and Purification will be effective in stopping the growth of this organism. I do spray my very tiny office, which I share with two others, every day with a mixture of 10 drops of Purification and Thieves which I have put into a quart sprayer with sterile water. I use it on the door handles, the telephones, the computer keyboard and spray it into our fan while it is on high. My co-workers now use it whenever someone “contagious” has been in the office with us. Will let you know what happens after I hang out with the microbiology staff.
