hi i have a 21 month old daughter who has had MRSA since she was 4 mos old (or at least thats when her first outbreak was). i have so many questions but i cant seem to be able to get any answers. has anyone ever been cured of mrsa? some doctors tell me she'll have it for the rest of her life, while others said she can grow out of it . i just want the truth, the cold hard scientific facts. unfortunately it seems that even the docs dont know much about MRSA. i've also tried to find out the latest treatments and what research is being done for potential cures but all i found was a bunch of outdated guidelines (which are quoted over and over again on ever website) . i am so afraid of loosing my baby. i feel so help less and alone. if it were up to me I'd have her at a specialist everyday trying to cure her, but the doctors have just sugarcoated the situation, they send her home with new antibiotics tell me to finish it all and hope for the best, but a month later theres another painful boil under her diaper and im crushed all over again. is there any hope for a cure, are there real efforts going on right now to find one or are those infected with mrsa today doomed while those tomorrow will be saved with a simple pill or shot. somebody please find a cure and soon! forgive me for the typos but my tears are flowing so hard i can barely see. im tired of pretending to be strong it feels good to be publicly weak even if only for a moment!

My brother is in Iraq, first of all, I am very proud of him for doing what he is doing.  He was diagnosed with MRSA right after he deployed about a year ago. What i really need to know is where we can get one of the lights so that we can send it to him.  he has taken every anti-biotic there is and now they are packing his boils after that have lanced them with yards and yards of gauze.  he will be home next month and i am wanting to find anything i can to help him and make his leave as comfortable and as pleasant as possible.  is there anything that i can buy or use. can anyone help me out please.

 MRSA is very scary, and I have treated 4 cases of it in the last month. One thing that is showing promise is natural medicine. Not only are natural treatments successfully treating cases of MRSA, but it's also an excellent way to help prevent MRSA infections from occurring. Our philosophy is that it's not only the bug that's the culprit, but the terrain. If your immune system, or number of good bacteria in or on your body is out of whack, then this makes you more susceptible to infections of any kind. Balance is essential. And hand washing with regular soap - NOT antibacterial soap as this leads to resistance - is the number one thing you can do to help prevent infection. Remember to scrub for a full 30 seconds (2 rounds of Row, Row, Row Your Boat or Happy Birthday) often, and that can be your first step in preventing infection. And alcohol wipes or sprays are not disinfectants! They merely spread the bacteria around and maybe dry them out. Also, be careful with too much disinfectant in the home, as fumes can cause a decrease in your immune system when used too much. I highly recommend using the UV light for cleaning home surfaces so you don't have to deal with nasty chemicals.
