Cryptolepis for MRSA


Dear Stephen,
My mother has what the doctors called “Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus” (MRSA) that has been there for a year. She tried treating it with the allopathic method to no avail. We have also tried tea tree oil, and golden seal. I just ordered some of the cryptolepis tincture from Woodland Essence. She started it today. I was wondering if you have a “recommended dose” for treatment of MRSA. I told her 15 drops 2 or 3 times a day. I was also wondering how long to keep her on it, and should I have her use it topically on the spots on her back, along with the internal? She is 45 and in pretty good health otherwise. I am a big fan of your writing style, and all you have to say. I have been brought to tears numerous times while reading your work. I am a student of herbal medicine at MCTC in Minneapolis, and your Lost Language of Plants was part of our class text, thank you! Your insight and your time is greatly appreciated.


Stephen’s response:
Depends on how bad it is. I generally recommend that those who have a resistant strain that has not responded to antibiotics use 1 tsp 3x daily until it clears, usually 30 days minimum. I have seen a really difficult case need 1 tbl 3x daily for two weeks until it cleared.
Stephen
