recurring staph infection(MSSA)/weakened immune system.

To all the trained homepaths, please help me. I had a culture test for Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA)about 4 yrs ago(in 2004). Since then, I have taken a lot of antibiotics until late last year I stopped taking them. My whole health is really messed up. I started with clyndamycin, it did kill most of the infection from my legs and top vaginal area, where it orinally started from, but right after couple of months of having the infection, I got severe food allergies. I became allergic to so many diff. foods, because the antibiotic had killed all the intestinal flora in my GI tract. I didn't know I had food allergies, until after a year or from the time of the infection. Initially I thought I was just allergic to yeast products, or anything fermented, but then I realized after trial and error that every time I ate yogurt, anything with active culture in it, also brought back the infection (on my whole back, as if the culture in yogurt enhanced the growth of the bacteria). So I had to be put on antibiotics each time. Anyways, now to make a really long story short, I have to tell you that I have a lot of problems, ranging from allergies/reaction to foods such as yeast, food cultures(yogurt), too much sugary foods, messed up GI system (always get diarrhea when I eat spicy/oily foods), really really weak immune system, I was tested for Cancer (bone marrow), almost all types (including CT scans), HIV, and so many other tests but they all were negative, even after repeating them. The reason for these tests was due to my white blood cell called neutrophils being really low, and my overall numbers were low as well, meaning, it was proportionate, but the CD4 (t-cell) count was also really low. I know this is probably not making sense to most of you out there, but just want to let you know that I've had a lot of tests done, and no real diagnosis. I really believe that my all problems are related to my weak immune system caused by staph (also called the flesh eating infection). I now avoid anything w/yeasts, including vinegar, alcohol, mayonaise, etc, and yogurt, and most milk products because I get similar rashes to what people get when they have a wheat allergy (also tested negative for that) and sugar products as well as fruits except for bananas and sometimes apples, I've lost about 24 pounds in these 4 years. Before I was able to eat everything, now I avoid a lot of foods. I'm depressed most of the times, my GI systems make me loose a lot of weight. I was tested for microscopic colitis, but that was healed after 4 months due to the changes in my diet (by eating bananas, cabage and steamed brocolli). My GI doctor thinks I may have chronic pancreatitis, and he had put me on digestive enzymes, made from pork/beef, which did help me gain a few pounds, but I have been off of them to have some additional tests done. He thinks I may also have diabetes, even though my number is normal, but my 3 months average (hemoglobin A1c) is on the high side, especially since I don't eat simple sugar at all, so if I did eat a regular normal sugar diet, I probably would have diabetes. Before the infection I used to drink a lot a lot of milk, and now I don't drink at all, due to the sugar content and some rashes/irritation in my GI tract. I spoke to one homeopath thru email last year. He had prescribed me one dose (3 drops of sulphur 200, after 15 days, 3 drops of psornium 200, after 15 days, mercu solibus 30c for 15days, of which I never continued after 2-3 days, because I started getting more rashes on my legs. Anyways, it was really hard to keep in touch w/him thru his direct email, because he was on the other end of the world and he hardly checked his emails. The changes I saw were, that I become really tired and fatigued, and really got a feeling of helplessness for several months. I was very miserable. ONE THING, I did see was that, most of my allergies cleared up/delayed response (before I would get a reaction within few minutes, and now I get it after couple of hours or a day or so and not so severe. I met another doctor in Houston, TX, while I was visiting my family, but he prescribed 4 medicines at one time, I'm hesitant to take his medicines, because of the single remedy rule. Please help me, or tell me if the presciption is right, all for a month: Antimonium Crudem 3x-> 4times daily
Calcaria Carb 6x 4times daily
Appis Mellioius 30 4times daily
Sulpher 30 once a day for 30 days. The way he told me was a little strange, he said to take them after 5 minutes interval of each, taking sulphur last in the morning and then taking the other 3 medicines for 3 additional times during the day, are these medicines, doses and directions correct? My last question, is there any way to cure staph (mainly boils are caused by staph bacteria). I've heard that homeopathic aggravation works best for boils, is that true, will it work for the staph infection on my back, not really the skin-deep painful hard boils, but the hard ones on the surface of the skin. Please someone respond, I'm willing to pay a reasonable price to any well trained homeopath, who is willing to cooperate w/me thru my treatment. I'm located in the US. I really appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks a lot. God Bless us all.

Hello,
I was pained to read your experience. I hope at this time you are better. My husband has been battling a Staph infection for over a year now. His however is in his left knee. He tore his acl in Jan of 08 and initially had 5 surgeries he was doing great and no signs of the infection. In the midst of the infection they had to remove the acl they put in because of the risk of infection in the acl. So on the first of April after many many test ruling out infection he went back in to fix the original injury. Well a week latter the infection is back. My mom is a classical homeopath and as always with her help he is getting better. I know though how hard it is to get rid of this infection and like I said before I hope you have found relief and are on the road to recovery.
