Tumeric, Hydrogen Peroxide I found the Earth Clinic site by typing in "natural treatments for skin infection" on the internet. I always broke out in the same areas: under my jawline, back to my ears. I even had pain in that area almost like something was clogged and burning. I had tried two rounds of antibiotics in the past few months and they did not work, but the Tumeric did. Read all the information about boils and Tumeric. Since the outbreaks were painful, I thought it must be something like mini boils. I happen to have some Tumeric capsules in my kitchen so I began taking two pills, 3x a day for five days. My skin immediately cleared up and scars are healing. I continue to either take a capsule every day or sprinkle about t. on some food. It's best with salty foods. I have found that if I stop for more than 2 days, I have some pain in the area like I might break out again.
After that, I read about H202. I also have had chronic sinus problems since I was a child. I always remembered having problems breathing when I laid down at night. Recently, though, I had such a hard time breathing at night that I didn't want to go to sleep. I was stuffy, not stopped up. I just could not get anything out of my nose. I know that I was snoring which made my face and teeth hurt and was not sleeping well. So I started "snorting" the peroxide (just the cheap stuff from the store with no stabilizers). I would put it on a swab and rubbed it up inside my nose. I would then sniff it up into my sinuses. Within seconds I could breathe. It has been a miracle cure for me. I did this about 3x a day %: morning, at night before bed and during the night if needed. I now only have to do it once or twice a week. After that I decided to start drinking a little. I put maybe 1 t. or less into 8 oz. of water and drink it 1-2x per day or when I need it. I did not know how much I missed oxygen through my nose!
The best thing is that my husband who has had asthma since childhood, started taking the H202 in water 2x per day. He was extremely dependent on medication to control asthma, but wanted to get off it. He has taken the peroxide in water for almost 3 weeks and has only needed his albuterol inhaler 1x. We are pretty excited about that! Thanks for all the good info.

I had just had two boils and could feel a sty starting in my eye in the morning, but the very small bump was not yet noticable to anyone but me. That evening I started the turmeric remedy, mixed 1 tsp in 1/2 glass warm water around 7:00pm. I took it again around 11:00pm and by morning, the tingling and pain from the spot was gone and only the very small bump remained. I took it again 3 times the following day and by the 2nd morning, it was completely gone.

I first had a boil last February on my neck. At the same time, I also had an infected pimple just on the left side of my mouth. It's like they both turned out the same in size and in the way they really hurt. I was on heavy antibiotics for 2 weeks and when they healed, I disregarded that it may return coz I happened to drain it on my own, little by little. Just last week, I was shocked to see new ones on my groin area! Of all places! It's like I just had a baby delivered. It hurts like hell. I decided I wont take any antibiotics anymore. With diabetes, I dont want to be too depended on so many meds. So this time, I tried the net to search for natural remedies. And believe me, just after 2-3 hours of taking a teaspoon of turmeric powder on warm water, I literally felt comfort. Now on my 3rd day of taking a teaspoon of turmeric, 3x a day, my boils have already started draining faster than my last one. And by God, less painful! I can now sleep at night and I know this will be over very soon. Im so thankful I found your site.

For the past 6 days I have been living in severe pain. Having chills then burning up. A pain developed just above my buthole on the right butt cheek. It was sore at first then I noticed a knot. Within 3 days that small plum cyst was now the size of a orange. I couldn't walk or sit. My wife found this site and we tried turmeric that type used for cooking. I took a teaspoonful directly in my mouth, it taste like dirt without the grit, yuk. I chased it with orangjuice. In 3 hours I felt a need to take a shower and let the warm water hit the area. A foul smell, I mean fell filled the entire bathroom and I noticed blood and stringy clot like discharge running down the drain. This stuff works, in 3 hours I lost 3/4 of the cyst with in 6 hours its almost gone, just a little raw feeling and still bleeding, but the pain is almost gone. I am starting the capsule version now for the next few days just to make sure but if you have a boil, try this I actually think I can sleep tonight.

I first started getting boils about 2 years ago. Just recently within the last 6-8 months the frequency of them increased. I would alternate between my armpit to my pubic area. Of course I would go to the doctor and get the obligatory Keflex and pain medication. When the incidences started to increase to every month I decided to research some alternative methods. The latest boil was an angry located at the base of my rectum. It grew to the size of a large walnut. Needless to say it was not a pleasant experience. I tried the 1 tsp of Tumeric in warm water (I had some in the spice cabinet)One dose as I got home and one dose before I went to bed. At 4 am the following morning, the boil came to a head and burst violently. My husband bought capsules from the local health food store. It is now Monday and I feel fantastic. It is still a bit raw, but nothing a little zinc oxide can't cure.
Thank you for this wonderful forum.

I'just had my first boil. I found this web site and tried the turmeric it worked almost instantly. With in 2 hours the swelling had gone down and the pain was going away! I bought the capsules since I can't eat things that don't taste good. They had 400 mg and I took one once a day. After this great experience this page was bookmarked for future reference. Thanks

Good lord, i'm so relieved! I thought I just had a little ingrown hair on my bikini line -but it turned into an extremely painful knot the size of a grape after a couple days. I was so scared. The third night I was in so much pain I couldn't sleep so I stayed up soaking it with a hot pack and wash cloth and searching the internet for info on how doctors lance boils. ...I will try anything before I do that... and I found this site (God bless you) and I started taking the turmeric this morning at 8 and by 6 that evening I was able to gently poke it and drain it! It's still really tender but at least I can walk a little easier. Hopefully I'll be able to make it into work tomorrow...

It worked! I had a very painful boil on buttock and been getting them off and on since I was a teenager. Out of desperation and after finding this site I tried turmeric capsules 3x/day and a paste of baking soda/polysporin/turmeric powder from capsule and zinc oxide cream (diaper rash cream for babies). I woke up this morning in joy of having a big drainage mess to deal with! The pain is 95% gone. I will continue with the process for while until it's totally healed. Next time I will go straight to this method to see if I get the same results. Thanks everybody.

Hi my name is Linda I live in Cali. I am only 24 years old. I got my first boil, well first 2 3 months ago OMG it was hell i missed a week of work and still was not better. It was so gross.. I have never seen so much pus in my life, the fist 2 boils were on my rear end and were the size of golf balls.. I did re- search and bought boil ease, that worked and boy was it messy the next day gross! Any how i did not know that the pus cant come in contact with other skin which it did. of course it spread and I got many many pea sized ones that i handled better, I looked in the mirror and looked at my bod i thought gross all these scars I have to do something.. So I first had to figure out how to cure them then tackle the scars! Well I recently like 4 days ago from 4/2/08 started Turmeric at first with tea, then i was like 4 get this I started taking tea spoon full with my downer a good drink. I normaly see more boils coming when others heal, but no new ones thank GOD! I will now use turmeric daily i carry it in my purse and sprinkle it on the food i eat daily it is an antioxidant and cleans the blood so im sure it will do me no harm I the boils i had are healing rather quicky. I did put drawing salve the black stuff on them and cover with a band aid over noght this helps too.. the day i got one close to my labia is the day I started turmeric and that one is nearly gone Thank GOD! I also use antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer frequently! I cant wait till they all heak so I can tend to the scars.. I plan to use turmeric for the rest of my life!

I was dealing with a boil on my penis for a week. After consulting with my doctor about treatment options I ran across your web site and decided to try Tumeric. IT CURED AND DRAINED THE BOIL!!!! THE SAME DAY!! 3 doses @ 285mg capsules at: 95% curcumin did the trick. I am so happy, and my mate is too. Thank you mother earth and thank you Earth Clinic.

I justed wanted to thank Earth Clinic. I just recently started experincing boils in my most private ares. I already knew the healing powers of tumeric that is why you will always find this seasoning in my cabinet. It also brings out the flavor in most foods. Anyway soaking in a bath of epson salt also releives the pressure of a boil. I have started my tumeric regimend as of 20 min ago. I have no doubt it will work. I believe most cures of ancienct illness not produced by man can be cured naturally as we have everything we need here on earth. Boils have been an acient illness dated back B.C. they were considered a curse. I am aware that they could be a sign of a blood disorder too. It is very important that peole drink or eat cranberrys which help the cylcle and purification of blood flow. Onions and garlic raw are also helpful. I say experiment see what works because it will work. God Bless to all who expreince boils may you guys who trust the earth with its natural cures. You go Earth Clinic...

Turmeric & Emu Oil took my cures to THE NEXT LEVEL! I've read all feedback regarding cysts and I've been SOOO excited to share what I've stumbled across. Thanks to all of you, taking Turmeric capsules has helped tremendously, with respect to size, frequency, pain and draining. I've found my ULTIMATE CURE (or at least as close as I'VE EVER COME!) Ok, first, based on everyone's emails, I ran out and purchased Turmeric. Took 3 capsules. Felt relief within an 2-3 hours. Took 2 more a couple of hours later, woke to find my 4 cysts greatly reduced in size. Kept this routine up for 5 months, but twice had massive cysts. Large enough for me to consider going to emergency for removal, but I'd been through that excruciating path before, so I just increase my Turmeric dosages to almost 8 capsules a day, made a paste from the contents of the capsules mixed w/water. Relief in 24hrs. Last week, I had 3 new small cysts and 3 recurring, red, huge, painful cyst in my groin area. I was in so much pain, I called off work, as I could barely walk. My boyfriend, God bless him, was so worried, he searched the internet to find me additional relief and stumbled across Emu oil, which penetrates all 7 layers of skin and purports to increase the efficacy of anything it's combined with. He overnighted a bottle of pure, unrefined Emu oil. So I cleaned the cysts w/an Antimicrobial Solution. Opened up one Turmeric capsule, mixed in a few drops of Emu oil and applied to the cysts and surrounding areas. I Covered it with surgical guaze and swallowed 3 Turmeric capsules and went to bed. Within 2 hours, the 3 biggest ones broke open and the 3 remaining diminished to almost nothing! He cleaned my wounds with a cleanser designed for wound care, applied more Emu oil/Turmeric paste, changed the bandages. By morning, I was 300% better, no pain and all cysts were healing. This is incredible. So much so, he said, when you feel better, go to this website and tell everybody. THIS HAS WORKED BETTER THAN THE SURGERIES OR ANTIBOTICS I'VE TAKEN OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS! I empathize with all of your pain and am happy to share my routine. Unfortunately, this is not a cure...just yet, but it's truly a remarkable remedy. Please email me if you want to talk about my journey. I am truly thankful of this web-site and all of you who have shared your stories, as this has marked my turning point, in what seemed to be a never ending-saga of my cysts either coming or going. Honestly. Thank you!"

i had a staph problem 4 close to 7yrs. of course i started with the doctors antibiotics ciprotab, peflotab etc. actually saw some alternative medical practitioners in my country taking one concotion or another for yrs with no remedy. i luckily had a good relief some 2 yrs ago after i was admitted with an anti biotic drip and took green vegetable juice locally called "ugwu" in my country but like a yr after some boils appeared and it came back.i came across this page on alkanizng ur body and i took the 3* a day teaspoon of baking soda mixed with 1/4 teaspoon of tumeric.i also took colloidal silver internally 3* a day,euchinicae 3* and a garlic tablet made by kwai 3* a day. i took the antibiotic ciprotab afterwards for a week and i felt very much relieved though i still have some mild movements in my stomach. 4 now i am taking the regular baking soda and tumeric mixed in half cup of water 2* daily, euchinicae once and the kwai garlic once. i feel very good but i am thinking of adding the colloidal silver to my supplements to keep it in check.

Thank you for your wonderful website! I tried your tumeric cure on my 8 1/2 year old son, who just recently had school sores (impetigo), and then started to develop a boil (which is exactly what happened last time he had school sores at age 5 - he then went on to have boils for about 4 months). I gave him a tsp of tumeric in a chocolate milkshake 3 x per day for two days and the boil totally dried up and didn't get big or painful...and, no more boils have developed after 1 week! Awesome!!
