Thats great for if you get the flu or tnsilitus or some other type of viral infection. And great advice for that to if you ask me but for a staph infection better to find out not just what will fight a staph infection but one that will fight the (staph aureus) bacteria that can live in our skin. If you take the wrong stuff and think you are safe you could run the risk as Big C mentioned earlier and was reaffirmed by my doctor of creating a super bug that is resistant to anti-biotics. At which time, from the mouth of my doctor, you are screwed!
