I had a mosquito bite on the back of my right leg that I scratched
and got infected with what the doctor claimed as a granular staph
infection. Since it was granular the 2 bouts of antibiotics had no
effect on the wound. It was still necropsying so I knew I needed
to find something that would pull the infection out of the wound
topically. The infection was now what I believe to be MRSA. I
searched the internet and eventually came upon your website among
others that described the healing powers of the living clays. I
ordered the bentonite clay and started applying a wet paste of the
clay on the wound the first week of December in 2011. There was a
noticeable change of the wound within 2 days. It was not as red
and “angry” as it had been prior to the clay. I would mix the clay
with distilled water and apply it directly over the wound and
cover it with part of a collard green leaf (I found it worked
better than cellophane wrap) and wrapped the area of my leg with
an ace bandage. I would change the dressing 3 times a day for the
first two weeks and then reduced it back to 2 times a day after
that. By mid-January (approx. 7 weeks) the “infection” was
cleared. The wound is still healing from the whole that it left in
my leg, but at least the necropsying has stopped and the
underlying tissue is healing. In all, it has taken about 3 months
to get to this point. The clay was very soothing to the area of
the wound. The pain associated with the infection was pretty bad
and within 3 weeks the soreness had subsided. I know that it
sounds like a long time but with the depth of the wound and the
infection involved, it certainly was faster and less evasive than
the alternative of various antibiotics and possible skin grafting
that I was told was to be expected.
Both of my children who are in the medical field,
one is a doctor of osteopathy and the other a nurse, along with
the dermatologist I originally saw for the infection, wanted me to
continue with the antibiotics. This would have involved months of
this medication that obviously was not affecting the site at all
but was upsetting everything else in my system. I knew that for me
this was not an option. I know there are more organic ways of
healing our organic bodies so that is why I went on the search.
I am glad to say that I won out on all levels! The
wound is healing and I did not have to sacrifice my bank account
and relative health to achieve this outcome. If you’re an outdoors
person like me, this is a product that is a must for your
“medicine cabinet”!
The pictures I included are of what the wound
looked like when I started using the clay (#1) along with what the clay
actually was pulling out (#2) and what the site looks like as of a week
ago (#3).
Thank you Perry for spreading the word on such a
wonderful, natural product! - Connie M.
