Gosh..what is wrong with people they can't get themselves to look into their own health issues and do some little research! Oh I know..they are foggy brained! Ok, so spike her drink one day with 8 drops of Iodine:) Just one day is all it took my son to wake up..just like Rip Van Winkle!
Here's my mom's remedy for boils..but ingesting the Iodine is so much more curative in my mind and better for the long haul. She would take white bread and soak a piece in very warm milk, and apply it like a poultice to the boil, when it cooled, she threw it away and would apply another. Usually it only would take 3-4 times and I know because I had an ingrown hair from my first childbirth experience when they used to shave the women, and got a huge painful boil. A 12 year old boy with a boil on his butt also had his mom apply the poultice and it worked for them too. So, the milk was the warmth to liquefy the poison in the boil and the starch of the bread drew it out, that's what I figure anyway.
