Carbuncles:i Need Help to Stop These Painful Skin Infections Posted: 01-06-04 19:26pm
I'm a 39 year old female that has been
plagued with first boils then carbuncles
since the age of 12. I'm a neat freak--i
take two to three showers a day, I use
antibacterial soap, I don't wear tight
clothing and I have watched my diet for
years. I don't get it and actually
neither does my doctor. He has gotten to
the point where he won't lance the
carbuncles because they have become so
huge. Boil ease doesn't work. Hot
compresses seem to aggravate it (it
changes position but rarely comes to a
head). My system has become immune to
several types of antibiotics because of
the constant usage of them. If anyone
has any home remedies, natural
prevents/cures or anything that would
speed up the process of these painful
infections, I would love to hear about
it.
Thank you and god bless....

Hey I also suffer from painful boils but I
get them on my face which I hate and some
things seem to work to a degree but have u
tried magnesium sulphate paste? If not
then see if it helps cause I heard it does
a good job for boils.. Here is somthing a
woman told me to do also.....
Here are a couple of home remidies you can
try .It's called a "poltus" use very hot
milk and a piece of white bread....Just a
little bigger then the spot...Soak the
bread and squeeze the extra milk out..And
place it on the spot with a bandage...Over
night...Come morning it will have brought
up to the surface what ever is
inside..When you peel of the bandage it
will pop...It's a little painful but
clears it up really fast...That night put
on a second poltus made with brown sugar
and the soggy part of bar soap....Mix it
really well...This one heals what the
other one pulled out...

Since I Was 12 I Began to Have Boils Posted: 07-02-04 09:22am
I had boils infrequently until I had my
second child at the age of thirty. Then
I began getting carbuncles. Boils that
are connected under the skin by a network
of tunnels. For the last five years I
have worked with my doctor taking a
plethora of antibiotics for long, long
periods of time.
My mother suggested that possibly we all
have an overgrowth of candida in our
bodies and that taking goldenseal and pau
d'arco would get the candida under control
so that my body could overcome the
carbuncles that fluctuated in severity
although never went away. I began taking
two goldenseal capsules (the root, 1080mg)
and one pau d'arco (1010mg, it also has
calcium in the one I bought) twice a day.
Once in the morning and once in the
evening. I had about six carbuncles (or
boils) six days ago and now there are only
two. This regimen has shown the best
improvement for me. I am begining to
have hope. I am going to continue the
regimen until they are completely gone and
I will write again in a week.
