> Raw Honey seems to work against MRSA, for some reason ...

I'd be inclined to try Australian Tea Tree Oil, the distilled oil of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant.

Be sure to use a medicinal (not aroma-therapy) grade, and look for a statement of compliance with either Australian Standard AS 2782-1997 or the International Standard ISO 4730.

Well, well; look what I stumbled into.
http://www.coldstream-plantation.com.au/about.html

"Current in-vitro results suggest Australian Tea Tree Oil may be useful in the treatment of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage within hospitals."

This is not an endorsement for Coldstream, as I've never used anything of that brand.
