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!!

Ok, so I first got my boil about less than a week ago on my hip. Then I started getting them everywhere like my bum, my stomach, thighs, back, neck, ear, nose, and face. I mean it spread like crazy. I just had a UTI and was put on cipro, so I am sure that exacerbated the boils break out. I never have it before. Anyway, I came upon this site because I have been desperate to get rid of these nasty things. I bought the turmeric from my local grocery store for $5. I took 3 tsp w/ 4 oz of room temp water 4x yesterday. I took a hot shower w/soap. I lanced the boils that had a white tip and were ready w/ cotton pads drenched w/ bactine. I put neosporin w/ turmeric on the boils and wore clothes I didnt care about staining. Went to bed and woke up right now and looked at my boils. They are flat and scabbed over! and the pain is 80% gone. the biggest one the size of a large grape was on the back of my thigh and I can stretch and walk w/o feeling pain. It is amazing. Thank you so much for this site. I hope I never get boils again, but if I do I know what to do. I will continue to use the turmeric until it completely resolves. My boyfriend told me to make some curry w/ the leftover turmeric. I think from now on, turmeric will be in my diet. I hope that it can prevent future boils. I am a 26 y/o Female and this is very, very embarassing! I am sure it is for everyone as well. Also, the taste isnt that bad. I had juice as a chaser.

Thank You so much this Turmeric is a spice from heaven. My husband and I have been fighting staph for almost a year and Turmeric is the cure. We have spent I know over $3,000 on doctor visits for lancing and antibiotics. I slacked off the Turmeric for a few days and I the little red bumps started to appear. I will never stop taking my herbs and vitamins again. Thanks Again!

I developed a large boil under my armpit. It grew to the size of a quarter. It was big, red and painful. I first tryed the turmeric powder in juice but that was too much and the taste was strong and not pleasant, so I switced to the 450mg tabs three times a day. I'm happy to say my boil is almost healed. I also used neosporin ointment to help with infection. ' There is a lot you can do but the turmeric is key. Thank goodness I found this site. YOU ARE SO APPRECIATED!"

Wow Outstanding Turmeric spice cured my sons boils. our children have been getting boils on and off for two years and when one gets a boil they all get them within a week. I tried the Turmeric spice like in your web site a teaspoon in warm water three times a day and i was amazed the three boils were half the size by 24 hrs and two boils were gone in two days and the third boil which was about 3 inches in size took three days. No other children got them and they have all fully healed. I am now giving all my children a dose of Turmeric just to clean up there blood. Thank you so much for your website.

I used turmeric to treat a case of reoccurring boils in my armpit. I had been to the doctor twice for this and was given erythromycin (sp?) both times, but the boils kept coming back. I decided to go try the natural route and found that turmeric caused the boil to drain completely on its own within two days of taking it three times a day. It's been nearly a week now & the firmness where the boil used to be is quickly disappearing as well. No need to go to a doctor and have the boil painfully cut open and drained & no need for antibiotics. Turmeric is superior to anything that my doctor did for me.

Tumeric, magnesium & zinc rids boils. Since June of 07 I started getting very painfull boils every few weeks about 20 in total. After several courses of antibiotics failed I began heavy research. Discovered the three ingredients when taken during the first 12 hours stop the bacteria chain which causes the boil from developing. I immediately apply a magnesium/zinc based lotion - found "LaCure Dead Sea foot lotion" works best. It contains, salts, minerals including magnesium & zinc plus it is a natural antibacterial and anti fungal lotion. I apply it 3 times daily. Then I take magnesium with zinc supplements orally 200-400mg daily and also drink a hot tumeric tea 2-3 times a day until the bump is cleared. Usually takes 2-4 days. Since doing this any bumps that appear never advance to full blowm boils and I no longer get the pain that was accompanied. This website helped me alot.
