LOL! Youse guys!
I would think that any one of these ingredients, if applied topically or directly to the infection, would rupture the cell wall of any staphylococcal bacterium simply due to its PH ( either acidic or alkaline).
Ah!...But the trick is to get it into the blood stream.
Holdeth my mead! Watcheth this thou all!
Allergic to poison ivy ? grab a handful of the weed touch me not and crush it up and wipe on your skin before you go to the woods it will prevent the oil from penetrating your skin you may have to reapply if you sweat a lot but it does work
This book has the original text and the modern English translation side-by-side. The two PDF versions work fine. One is color and the other is black-and-white. Both are searchable.
Enjoy.
For tooth wark, if a worm eat the tooth, take an old holly leaf and one of the lower umbels of hartwort,2 and the upward part of sage, boil two doles3 in water, pour into a bowl and yawn over it, then the worms shall fall into the bowl. If a worm eat the teeth, take holly rind over a year old, and root of carline thistle, boil in so hot water hold in the mouth as hot as thou hottest may. For tooth worms, take acorn meal and henbane seed and wax, of all equally much, mingle these together, work into a wax candle, and burn it, let it reek into the mouth, put a black cloth under, then will the worms fall on it.
It is interesting to see a rediscovery of old effective remedies. Honey as a cure for infected wounds is one
Lactoferrin is also an effective treatment against mrsa.
I agree with your assessment about folk being smarter back then. My grandmother would often refer to some people as “having gone to seed”.
I’ll venture to say there hasn’t been a man of the caliber of Sir Isaac Newton since his birth.
I can't wait for her reaction :)
You have to wonder what technology we lost from ancient man. They must have discovered some amazing things that have just been lost to the centuries. So many cultures and nations, and so many people experimenting. We can’t even guess the extent of technology and home remedies, and knowledge that ancient man had that is so far lost or took centuries to re-discover.
Just amazing.
Bflr
Now that's a novel idea. In the right hands it could reduce the Federal bureaucracy to near zero. Depending on the efficacy, of course.
I know how these old remedies always work: Step 1, remove the eye...
The Antikythera mechanism comes to mind.
I just sent my wife the link to the article. She’s currently working on a staff vaccine.

What’s wrong with her staff such that they need vaccination?

Colliodal silver kills MRSA.
MRSA does not develop a tolerance for it.
Don’t tell Pfizer!
You can buy this mixture of essential oils called Thieves Oil online. The people who devised the formula used it during the plague allowing them to steal from houses with plague victims without getting sick. I bought some during the ebola scare, but not sure if it would work.
