staphylococcus aureus
My daughter suffers from staph. aureus which resulted in folliculitis of the skin.After many teatments with antibiotics it still persists and is worsening.All the hair on her legs and in her armpits are infected and it is painful and swollen.She lives on fresh fruit and vegetables and uses no animal products or wheat.Is there any homeopathic remedy that will clear this condition?Sarieta on 2005-04-26
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
How did this happen. Where did she get it?.
Using antibiotics on this condition is risky. It can turn into 'mrsa' , a very nasty illness.
It is possible that there is a homeopathic remedy but would need to know many details .
Can she wear wollen garments . is she easy going to to a point and then stubborn?.
What have the last 3/4 generations of the family died of ?.
Is she 'childish' for her age?.
Is she tidy or untidy. ?.
Does she eat little and often. etc.

Don't know where she got it.She can wear wollen garments but nothing that fits tightly.The last generations died of various causes like heart attacks,diabetes,lung fibroses etc.I had her blood sugar tested and it is normal.She is 19years old and very mature for her age.She is very tidy and takes special care of her personal hygiene.She eats about 4Xper day,is not overweight and is otherwise very healthy.She eats a lot of fruit, seeds and nuts till mid day and salads and vegetables for supper.

Seems as if her diet is good.
Does she drink in small mouthfuls?.
Does she like her body warm in bed but window open to keep head cool?.
Does she have a 'limp' 'down' spell about 4 in the afternoon?.
Do her pillows get a yellow patch and smell a bit 'sour'.

Hello.
My boyfriend had a similar problem with folliculitis on his legs. I supplemented his diet with a cold pressed Omega 3 oil every day (we used Flaxseed but Fish Oil is as good) and a probiotic Acidohillus/Bidifus supplement. Both available at all health stores.
Symptoms abated in three days and within 2 weeks.

Flaxseed oil has been part of her diet for the past year and this condition has been going on for the past 4 years.She's been treated by a homeopath for the past 4 months without any improvement.I'm really desperate!

Hi there
My mum werent home so i decided to reply myself.
I used to like rich foods but my taste seems to have changed over the last year. Never eat rich foods anymore& cant even finish a choclate bar or ice-cream myself. It's as if my body just cant handle it anymore.I also remebered something else.My body cant handle alcohol.I used to drink wine or vodka in small quantities when me&my friends were out,but since December last year i havent even had one sip of alcohol.Even just one glass of dry red one will me me feel sick & i'll have a headache all of the next day.(dont know if its of any help!)
I would say it's better in the moring as it seems to worsen during the day.
Never had any ear trouble, as i used to be a swimmer & spent hours in the pool training.
I have light brown hair,which has been coloured for the last 2 years to a dark brown.
My bowel movements seem to be just fine,in the morning when i wake & then during the day again.
The only other thing i can think of is that my feet always have this yellowish shine to it(on the sole of the foot),which i've noticed is quite abnormal.
Thanks!

Hmmm. The foods that you state you can't handle anymore are all SUGAR and YEAST foods, which is interesting because it leads me to suspect that the root of your condition may be overgrowth of the yeast Candida Albicans which has manifested as Candida Folliculitis in you. The yellowishness of your soles sounds like fungus to me. Are you prone to thrush? Do you have a thick yellow coating on your tongue?
Candida feeds off YEAST and SUGAR and it sounds like your body has reached saturation point , thus you can't tolerate yeast or sugar products anymore. The body becomes EXTREMELY sensitised to EVERYTHING including cigarette smoke, perfumes. The mind is diffuse and finds concentration difficult and the emotions are heightened.
I suggest you do some searches on the internet with those keywords and see if you're showing the symptomitic patterns.
Antibiotics have COMPOUNDED the situation. They won't touch candida, and in fact make the conditions for candida easier to grow, as your intestinal flora & immunity are wiped out. And most doctors are unwilling to even recognise the existence of Candidiasis, so don't bother going to see the doc on this - you'll just get more anibiotics. Get yourself tested for candida with a KINESIOLOGIST and/or see a NATUROPATH/HOMEOPATH.
If I am correct with my understanding of what's going on with you, then you can get going immediately on a strict anti-candida regime with your DIET, VITS, HERBS and SUPPLEMENTS. also there is a Candida Albicans homeopathic remedy (like with like , remember) potency of which maybe someone here can advise you with,along with other suitable HOMEOPATHIC remedies.
Essentially you need to STARVE the yeast and prevent further OVERGROWTH , which means absolutely no sugars , and that includes ALL FRUIT - DRIED & RAW. Not even "good" sugars like honey, or lactose in milk products (with exception of live yoghourt) You see, yeast feeds off sugar. No yeasty foods such as bread, mushrooms, canned products, pickles, vinegars, cheese, marmite.. I know you don't eat these foods anyway, but I have to spell it out.
I notice your diet is all COLD food, so maybe introduce some warmth , some homemade soups and broth, porridge made from whole oats or millet, some steamed fish/poultry, LOTS of steamed fresh veg, lots more WHOLEGRAIN like brown rice, quinoa, spelt , rye. More pulses/beans - chickpeas, mung beans, aduki beans. All available in health stores. More herbal teas. NO MORE FRUIT for a while. NO MORE COLD SALADS for a while. NO MORE DAIRY (except live yoghourt) Nuts also unless lightly toasted can have a yeasty coating on them. It's best to eat a varied diet. Eat little & often. Increase your PROTEIN intake.
Supplement wise - a MUST to kill the Candida Albicans the best is CAPRYLIC ACID. Biocare do a high strengh caprylic called Mycropryl 680 which is very effective.
A good ACIDOPHILUS/BIDIFUS supplement to replenish good bacteria and counter yeast growth is A MUST for at least next 6 months. Morning and night. Do not take with hot drink.
BIOTIN - one of the lesser known B vitamins is also very helpful.
The herbs GOLDENSEAL, ECHINACEA and GRAPFRUIT SEED EXTRACT are all extremely beneficial anti-candida herbs.
A good quality MULTIVITAMIN & MINERAL SUPPLEMENT is necessary as well as 3-5g or VITAMIN C.
Keep up with the Essential Fatty Acids, the flaxseed etc..
The more I think about your condition the more I feel I may be correct, but please I urge to you to get an appointment with a registered KINESIOLOGIST who will muscle test you for candida , THEN you can get going with this regime. I'm sure that all your symptoms will go and you will begin to feel so good internally and externally.
All best.

Nothing incorrect about the words of Carlotta -- however am fairly certain you do not have thrush.
Seriously doubt that the foot condition is fungal -- but if it was it would point to a tubercular class of remedy.
Your reaction to alcohol suggests that the problem is with the liver-- which s one of the basic organs.
There are a number of liver remedies that we can use , but would like to check -- is there any color on the tongue or any color in the whites of the eyes .
Also which side do you prefer to sleep on , and do you get any sensation of "fullness" or congestion just below the bottom rib on the right hand side , or any pain either between or just under the shoulder blades .

I prefer to sleep on my right side.
Sometimes i do get that congested feeling that u've mentioned,it feels as if food is coming right back up. And if this may be of any help,the last two weeks i've been slowly losing my appetite.Just the thought of food makes me feel nauseous, but i still force myself to eat.
I do get pains in my back underneath my shoulder blades(both of them), but it can also be because im standing on my feet all day,doin a hairstylist course.
I have dark brown eyes & the white of my eyes seems normal, except for a brownish blemish on the righthand side of the right eye.
The colour of my tongue is normal.
Is it possible that my liver can have anything to do with the folliculitis on my legs?

Looking at 3 remedies here
Chelone Glabra 3x [or6x]
Chelidonum 3x [or6x]
Nux vom 3x [or6x]
I suggest you get the first two and start taking Chel Glab 3x twicw a day -- morn and night, for 7 days and report .
We can then look at things and see if its best to change to the Chelidonum.
And yes its more than possible that the liver problems are tied to the 'folliculitis'?.
If you have any problem getting the remedies advise me and I will give yu details of supplier.

Bactine on small square of paper towel applied directly to small sore and covered with medical tape for a long duration of time (an hour) is proving helpful.
As is applying Bactroban ointment and covering with bandaid on sores, as well as applying with qtip inside my nostrils.
What is irritating though is that I keep reinfecting myself. I put saran wrap over my pillowcase and papertowel over that. But, it seems the bacteria gets on papertowel at night and then touches other parts of my skin, and I get a small sore (looks like small pimple).
I think the remedy to reinfecting myself is to sleep on my back, if I can get used to that.
