Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 OK......remember the woman that had the spider bite that has never healed? I made her tea bags of herbs to make a poultice with. She wants to keep on with this, as it seems to be helping. We'll try the green clay next. I also made her up some shea butter, emu oil, smidge of natural beeswax to keep it together and I think just tea tree eo. That is keeping the area from cracking, so she is happy there too. She came by today with alligator tears in her eyes. She had just gotten off the phone with the Dr, and he told her that he gives up and the only option is amputation!!! Needless to say, she was very upset. In the 1 1/2 years that this guy has been her Dr, he NEVER requested a lab to be run on the infection! Thankfully, she is seeing a.....crud, I can't even think of the name! At any rate, this person decided to get a swab of the infected area and test it. She has Staph! I'm getting ready to do some reading up on it but from what I can remember, this is nasty stuff. Butch.....would oregano work here? She was telling me today that when it starts hurting pretty badly, it is from one of her nerves and it goes all the way down to the end of one of her toes. I know nerve pain and it is impossible to treat, even with major drugs. The whole foot is still red and there is a pulse......so I don't think that it is just bad circulation......which is what one quack told her. This poor woman is at her wit's end....and then the lovely Dr's comments. I told her to tell him that she has a slight aversion to saws!!!! She is going to call the lab tomorrow and see if they will fax me a copy of her complete report, so I can know better what I am up against. I've searched through my herb books and am coming up empty handed. Thanks guys!
