Guest guest Posted July 3, 2001 Report Share Posted July 3, 2001 Recurring boils are often associated with uncontrolled Diabetes. Late onset diabetes can be present for years undetected. Does this lady suffer from fatigue, is she overweight, does she get up to urinate in the night. She should get her urine checked. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2001 Report Share Posted July 3, 2001 Thanks, Susie. I've passed this on to her. I didn't know that about the link between Diabetes and recurring boils. She definitely needs to get that ruled in or ruled out.

Hi my name is Nancy and I'm new here. I'm a nurse who beleives in natural first. For boils I've had 100% effectiveness with bacon fat. Place it directly on the boil under a bandaid. Change it daily, within 3 day the boil will drain root and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 When I was a child we moved to a new house that had a water well. I really don't know if that was the cause of my brother getting an outbreak of boils (we were pretty little, still in elementary school), but they way Dad dealt with it was to mix molasses with sulphur powder. Sounds pretty icky -- but we both took a spoonful of it every morning before going to school -- and it cleared everything up. Another interesting old medical thing I learned from him (but he never used on us) was when he was little (he'd be 95 now if he were still alive, just to give you a historical sense on this) he cut his thigh very badly - quite deep. His Mom just gathered up some cobwebs and stuffed it into the cut to stop the bleeding. We have lots of cobwebs around (living in the country), but reaching for them would not be my first inclination!! Dede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 My dad had us take a tablespoon of this every spring as a tonic. It was flowers of Sulphur mixed with molasses. Probably have to search the Internet for it. My dad was born in 1913, so it is an old remedy.too bad the old remedies are not used today. We would all be healthier.
