I'll have to check it out. We, like you, aren't thrilled about the antibiotics, although Peter was pretty desperate and was just happy to start healing. I've been thinking about experimenting with lactofermentation, so this may be a good time to start and get some extra probiotics in his system.Peter and Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00542867532608382533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27995445.post-60522290522143529402009-05-29T09:44:00.348-05:002009-05-29T09:44:00.348-05:00That is interesting.

His got really bad though and spread before he wanted to do something about it. Not wanting to go to the doctor we treated it with Neem oil and it cleared up. I am pretty sure that it was some sort of staph infection which was why we were hesitant to go to the doctor anyway knowing that the protocol was antibiotics. I had read that Manuka honey was scientifically proven to be more effective than anti-biotics and wanted to try that instead. We used that Manuka honey and the Neem oil but the Neem actually seemed to be more effective. He was in a lot of pain too and couldn't even wear pants without it being painful.<br />Not sure where it came from and thankfully it didn't spread to anyone else but we were ready for it if it did. Hopefully he gets better soon.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12887928615513412979noreply@blogger.com
