Look into it, they have very several options, some are very high levels of Allicin from Garlic, the lower dose you can order online without a prescription. They will talk to your doctor, he can order the high dose. Anyway, I will say a prayer for you and hope this info helps.

Wow, I am sorry to hear what you are going through! I had a picc line for 2 months for an infection - antibiotics wouldn’t touch it and I ended up with surgery to remove 18 inches of my colon. I cannot imagine having an infection like that in an area like the spine. I say a prayer for you.

My son just had spinal surgery and I was very concerned about MRSA. While we waited for him I used bleach that I brought from home and cleaned his patient room top to bottom, I also asked every nurse, doc, and tech to wash and purell their hands before coming in the room. If they touched their pager, I asked them to wash again.

I had one doc refuse to either wash his hands or wear gloves and I refused to let him touch my son. I also did not allow any outside visitors until the incision was completely closed. In short, I was a pain in the backside, because, well, it’s my son.

We are 2 months post op and no sign of infection, but we have to be careful with dental appts and such.
