Re: [Everything doTERRA] Old Injury NEW Infection in leg - child

Since we started using doTerra's EO's I committed to use the EO's first and then go to modern medicine if the EO's didn't resolve whatever I was treating. With the exception of his injury, we've never needed to. The EO's have addressed everything, and I agree w/ the pocket theory. Our body will do amazing things to protect itself. I appreciate the comments. They are very helpful.

It actually almost sounds like it's been contained in that pocket in his leg this whole time, just being released by the new injury. Our bodies are capable of pocketing things off like that, though it's usually toxins being held in fat deposits or emotional injuries being held in our muscles and tissues. 

I agree with you, Kate. I love modern medical technology, but I don't trust modern medicine. The only good thing (IMO) that comes from pharmaceutical companies is the funding for the technology. I'd go to the doctor if I had an acute injury, like fractured ribs that might have punctured a lung, but not much else.

I am with you Diane in the biased opinion of antibiotics, I hate the thought of it. It just scares me, that this infection could re-appear after so long. I hope their desired course of action is conservative, and I have no problem telling them that I am not comfortable using antibiotics. I have far more faith in modern medical procedures than I do in modern medicine. I am concerned mainly b/c I can't see the possible "gunk" that might still be in his leg.
I would rather 100 % of the time use oils.

I certainly hope others will chime in here, as I'm only able to give my very biased opinion regarding antibiotics. 

Unlike antibiotics, essential oils are able to treat complex strains of bacteria, especially "non-typical" ones.  I'd use Melaleuca with the On Guard, as to me they work best as a pair, and Melaleuca is always my first choice for antibacterial and antiviral oil use. I agree that even with them talking about using probiotics, I'd still be very leery of any strong, long-term IV antibiotic use. 

As to how much, how often, and how best to apply them, Brooke or Pat will hopefully supply that info, especially for an 11 year old.

Good luck!

I am taking my son into the emergency surgical clinic here in
Heidelberg, Germany to the surgical specialist w/ a bacterial disease
specialist on call to determine the cause (or type) of bacteria in my
sons leg.

In September of last year my son ran into a pitchfork, which punctured
his leg at the knee and ran up the inside of his thigh about 4
inches.  I took him to his pediatrician that day and they put him on
antibiotics, nothing was damaged, just a superficial injury w/ the
main concern being the cleanliness of the pitchfork.  You could see
the infection was beginning to spread.   We also had him take OnGuard
in his water & put it on his feet.  I layered oils around the site and
applied a hot compress to drive the oils into the site of the injury,
which immediately brought down the swelling, and the infection area
reduced in size literally right before our eyes.  In just a few days
he was walking around w/o any issue.  He completed the series of
antibiotics and life went on.

He has had since the injury however, a knot which runs along the
entire site of the wound, which we determined was caused by scar
tissue buildup from the injury.  It has never bothered him and other
than a slight scar at the entrance of the wound, he has been just the
same as he always was.

Two days ago while riding his bike, he hit the site of the old wound.
The site swelled and was tender to the touch and the scar tissue at
the site began to swell and bulge out from his leg.  Using a sterile
diabetic lancet, I lanced the hematoma to allow it to drain, and puss
started running down his leg.  As I tried to help it drain, it was
obvious there was coagulated puss inside that could not exit through
such a tiny hole.

I took him to the Dr. today who immediately referred him to a surgical
specialist making sure there is a specialist in bacterial disease
there to appropriately culture and assess the infection.  He said the
bacteria present in his leg is considered non-typical, as it has been
'dormant' for many months, but obviously still present, and by the
looks of the site, he will need it to be surgically addressed.  He
spoke of having the bacterial disease specialist, once determining
which antibiotic would kill the bacteria, putting my son on
antibiotics on potentially a longer term basis and that they may need
to be Intravenous.

I trust the diagnosis thus far (I am just leery of the treatment) and
I appreciate that this dr. wants to make sure the wound is not causing
an infection that will create additional problems down the line.  I
appreciate their desire to have the specialist determine the exact
cause and type of the bacteria to make sure they aren't just giving
him whatever antibiotic is new on the shelves or the "standard script"
and rushing us out of the office.  HOWEVER, I am also not comfortable
with the thought of intravenous antibiotics short term let alone long
term, though the dr. today did recommend having him continually on a
live probiotic to protect his system while on the antibiotics, so at
least that's a step as far as I'm concerned in the right direction and
a credit to him as a dr. that he at least doesn't have his head where
it doesn't belong.

SOOOO... I am looking for ideas.  We don't immediately think of all
the things we should when we are worried about our children.  My
thoughts thus far are this:  I gave him a dose of LLV - just one since
he is only 11 years old.  I have OnGuard diffusing, and Balance.  I
have applied Balance to the bottoms of his feet, along w/ the OnGuard,
and can do the AromaTouch technique on him once we get back from the
specialist to help trigger his auto-immune response and decrease the
inflamation.  I have PB Assist on hand, so he will have that... I have
every oil except Birch... What else can I do?  I will post what the
specialist's diagnosis later, but if they are going to make sure the
antibiotics are the right ones for the job, and his system is
supported with the EO's & LLV throughout their procedure and treatment
he should be best protected on both sides, correct?  I am not one to
rely on antibiotics b/c I believe the oils are much more effective and
I believe antibiotics are very rarely prescribed correctly, but if
they actually determine the type of bacteria, and if it is irregular,
long lived, resistant to most antibiotics and they've taken special
measures to ensure it IS the effective antibiotic is used... is that
the safest route to go??

Whatever is in there lived through one bout of antibiotics AND the
oils last time.  I'm very torn right now, and I hate the idea of flat-
lining my son's entire system.

Any help, ideas, inspiration, experience... very appreciated.

Kate
