A friend had MRSA for 3 years and the doctors said they had done all they could. When I met her she had boils all over her body and she was in terrible pain and VERY ill. She started using Thieves, R.C. and Lavender. A year or so later she was free of MRSA! She put Thieves and Lavender on the boils and made tea with the R.C.
She is now on Ningxia Red-hopefully this will increase her wellness and boost her immune system.
THANK YOU GARY for providing us with these BLESSED essential oils!

My brother in law who was hospitalized recently contracted MRSA while in the hospital and all who visited him had to wear protective outerwear. The care center allowed visitation by pets, and my dog being very close to my brother in law, visited him, and sat on the bed while Tom pet him. I was a little concerned that the MRSA might be transmitted by the dog, so I used Thieves as a protection for myself as well as the dog. The family liked the smell so well, they all made it a practice to use the oil while visiting. We wore Thieves oil like perfume and sprayed it on our hands and the dog. No one contracted MRSA from their visits even when protective clothing was not worn. Thieves is a marvelous oil, which I hope will included in future studies.

This is a very informative article & I too am glad to see it. I suffer with reoccurring staff infection on my shin. I have used the R.C. and at times an Oregano blend. This has worked wonderfully. I cannot take antibiotics because of having Ulcerative Colitus, so these oils were a life saver for me. Thank you very much for these oils.

MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) has now become CMRSA or Community based MRSA. Although spread is not restricted to children (I know of a paramedic who was hospitalized with a particularly virulent form after contact with a patient during transport) parents and school personnel need to become more aware of the problem. Evidence has shown that with many cases of CMRSA the person has recently been in a medical setting such as a physician’s office.

Emphasis for prevention of spread of MRSA has been primarily on the importance of handwashing. Not enough emphasis is placed upon not sharing towels used to dry hands after handwashing; use separate towels or paper towels, properly disposed of. Adequate washing of linens and clothing is important; I add a capful of Thieves cleaner to each tub of laundry.

Public places and items that are touched by many people (think sink faucets, door knobs, railings, telephones, computer keyboards, etc.) are common sources of spread.

Gyms, public or school, are particularly a common source for spread of MRSA. Think contact of any body part, not just hands. Proper cleaning of all exercise equipment, including mats used for wrestling, before and after use, can go a long way to prevent spread. Wiping down equipment using Thieves cleaner, in your own spray bottle, or Thieves wipes, is a great intervention. Although hand sanitizers are restricted in some schools (primarily Elementary; the concern is with ingestion), I recommend that Thieves hand sanitizer be carried and used.

It is most important for people to know that MRSA is spread not only by direct contact but can become aerolized, spread through the air and therefore found on any surface as well as in the air you breathe. I always carry RC with me. Use frequently when in public places.

Also think AC systems. Although you may have no direct control over the AC in public places (protect yourself with RC), change AC filters in your home monthly. I also sprinkle Purification on my filter. After reading about Sue Chow’s experiments I now know there are several other oils that might be used.

Staph Aureus is also VRSA (Vancomycin-resistant Staphlococcus Aureus). There are other organisms, such as C. dif and Pseudomonas, that are now commonly found in hospital and nursing home settings that have become antibiotic resistant as well.

To prevent spread of MRSA and other organisms, it is not just personnel in the medical field that need to be educated regarding prevention and spread. The public needs to be better informed as well.

Knowledge is power and the Young Living family has the power and, thanks to Gary Young, an arsenal of powerful oils to help in dealing with these antibiotic resistant organisms.

Learning about this research was one of the most exciting things for me, as a Registered Nurse, in my 12 years with Young Living!

My clinical experience has been in the Intensive Care Unit where MRSA was a huge issue (now it is rampid in health care facilities) – and in my private practice and consultation work I have many clients come to me with this concern – and to know that we, in Young Living, have something that can address this problem – is monumental! I always reference Sue Chow’s research too.

I can actually remember sitting in convention a few years ago when Sue presented this on stage – and my mouth literally dropped open – I thought “this is so big! I really wonder if others see how huge this is” and I looked around the room looking and praying that folks were really getting how big this is – I know now so many us appreciate the extreme value that we have in our Young Living oils against these Super Bugs like MRSA – we are going to save soooo many lives!
