BOILS

    Staphylococcus organisms can cause raised, red, hard, hot and extremely painful pus-filled skin abscesses. They may appear anywhere on the body. Ears, nose, fingers and scalp are the most painful sites due to thin skin and constant pressure. The boil may start very small and then become red as it grows into a painful, pus-filled lump. The staphylococcus organism may be contracted from farm animals and it can remain dormant in the body for years before erupting, usually when the person is run-down, tired and overly stressed. Those with depressed immune systems and those with diabetes are more likely to develop boils.

    WARNING: Staphylococcus is very infectious, and many strains are becoming resistant to prescription antibiotics. If fever is present, consult your health care provider immediately.
    * Apply T36-C5 every hour to a developing boil. Some boils can be stopped at this stage. Leave exposed to the air if possible. When a focal head begins to appear, usually after a couple of days, use a sterilized needle to lance the boil and allow drainage. The release of pressure usually provides immediate relief of pain. Continue applying T36-C5 as long as drainage lasts. Soaking the site in a solution of 1 oz Sol-U-Mel and 1 tbsp Epsom salts in a quart of hot water can speed drainage. Apply Triple Antibiotic Ointment to a soft gauze bandage and cover. Drink 2 to 6 cups of Melaleuca Herbal Tea each day. Take the Vitality Pack with Oligofructose Complex as directed. If redness and swelling does not disappear after 7 days, see your health care provider if you haven't already. Take ProVex and/or ProVex-Plus daily.
