I am considering trying a radical change in my life in an effort to damage my MRSA colonies and hopefully some PA colonies too!
Has anyone done anything untraditional to help battle their MRSA?

I am becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics. There are only two antibiotics that really are used foragressive MRSA treatment - Linezolid and Vancomycin. I may be developing a reaction to Vanco. Though I have more PA (3 versions!) I seemed to deal with PA quite well before MRSA showed up on the scene.
Anyone done anything that worked or want to try any of these methods in the link? How could they be translated to lung infections as they mostly referenceMRSAskin lesions.

I know what you are saying about rocking the boat. I really don't know what to tell you on that. You have allergic inflammation otherwise benadryl wouldn't help with your post nasal drip, you know? I have read that some inflammation is a good thing in cenocepacia because it keeps the bacteria from getting out of control. However, when going to a more green diet, you aren't getting rid of all immune response like you do with steroids. You are helping your body have a more healthy immune response.<br>If you have a lot of watery mucus, that is more allergic than CF. Now, many cfers have that, but it is normally do to undiagnosed allergy than it is a symptom of CF. Antibiotics cause yeast, change in bowel ecology causes allergy..... Many times, just taking allergens out of the diet will completely eliminate those kind of allergic symptoms and allergic inflammation. The crazy thing about bowel ecology is that once it is out of whack, everything you eat can have a small inflammatory response. That small inflammatory response cause yeast to grow. I think so many of us had such great success with oregano oil bc it kills bacteria and yeast.... they share biofilms and protect each other.... that is really scary.<br><br>What I can't understand though is how adding more plant based foods and less dairy will hurt you....honestly, you can keep your weight up with raw nut butters. Or, eat half of an avocado with salt and lemon pepper.... or take out veggies and hummus smothered in olive oil.Any time you want cheese, just take 2 table spoons of raw almond butter, or seasame seed butter. I'm not saying get rid of cottage cheese altogether if you can't live without it, but cut out milk, sugary yogurts and replace with plain kefir blended with frozen blueberries (or something along those lines). Replace wheat with rice for a while. If you eat the same thing every day, you have inflammation from it. Rotating your foods is the best way to keep your body from reacting to foods.<br>I'm not sure I understand about your nausea with green smoothies? I have never heard of that unless it was massive bacterial/fungal die off...which recipes did you try? I am happy to help you on that one. My guess is you were either drinking too much or you were having major die off which can happen when you change your diet to include more greens.<br>Just a little fun tid-bit. My in laws have been on a no sugar diet (anti-fungal...only veggies and lean meats) for 4 weeks bc I convinced them they needed to. My mother-in-law has to sleep with a C-Pap because her sleep apnea is so severe and has been for years. After four weeks, she has no pain in her knees and no longer needs her C-Pap bc her breathing is so much better. Now, clearly, she is not a CFer, but that is the kind of response I had on an anti-inflammatory diet which was close to the same thing.
