Vulcan Silver vs Staphylococcus Aureus - Vulcan Silver Has Saved My Son

Jean-Luc Talbot was infected with the deadly bacteria Staphylococcus Aureus after sustaining a small injury on the sports field and despite the best antibiotics available, nothing could cure him. Until his mother started using Vulcan Silver. This is her story...

 16th September 2015 my son Jean-Luc (JL) is playing hockey and sustains a minor injury on his left foot after being hit with a hockey stick.
19th-21st September he is still playing cricket but is complaining of slight pain in the area.
23rd September he is taken to a doctor who immediately orders X-Rays. These show inflammation and he is put on anti-inflammatories.
26th September he is rushed to hospital with intense pain. Immediately he is put on IV antibiotics as his inflammatory markers were off the chart.
28th September and the inflammation had not subsided as the doctors had hoped and urgent surgery was undertaken to relieve the swelling and drain the pus build up which was causing septicemia.

Taken before first surgery

Taken after first surgery
A few days after surgery necrosis had set in

X-fixator pins attached
A few days after the surgery the wound was opened and it was found that necrosis had set in and we were told a skin graft would have to be done.
        
16th October and after several surgeries had been performed to drain the pus the doctors determined JL would need x-fixator pins to keep his joints in place.
He continued with antibiotics and surgeries and by the end of October it seemed he was infection free. However by the beginning of November more pus had developed and he was readmitted to hospital and put on even stronger IV antibiotics.
31st October I was first contacted by Neil Oosterlaak from Silver Crest Medical Technologies in Pretoria after he had read about our plight in an article printed by News24.
Neil explained that they had licensed product called Vulcan Silver that had already been laboratory tested against this drug resistant form of infection (MRSA) and was found to be effective against it.
Neil offered the product for free and although I had Vulcan Silver in my possession I was still reluctant to use it because of the very expensive antibiotics JL was now on and I was concerned that it would interfere, a sentiment echoed by the doctors treating him.
Regretfully I did not use the Vulcan Silver.
25th November, after another seven surgeries had to be performed bringing the total to twenty and JL being on the very best antibiotics money could buy the doctors confirmed that the bacteria was still growing.
27th November, after much consultation with Neil and mostly out of desperation I started Jean-Luc on Vulcan Silver both orally and topically (where I could).
(Pictures below show first application and subsequent absorption of Vulcan into the wound)



Over the weekend improvement was noticeable with reduction in swelling and pain.
30th November, JL was taken to the doctor who swabbed a pustule to test for infection.
31st November. Results are in. JL is infection free !!!!
A week or so later and further tests confirm that JL is still infection free.
7th December JL takes his first steps without the use of crutches in almost three months.
After more than 2 months, 20 surgeries and the best antibiotics that money could buy it took Vulcan Silver less than 5 days to defeat the infection.


5 January 2016. I am pleased to report that not only is JL still infection free but his wounds have been healing very quickly and he has started resuming day to day activities. I know that there is still a road to recovery due to all the surgeries and muscle atrophy but the nightmare of the infection is finally a thing of the past. Although Neil insists that the infection is cured I am keeping JL on the Vulcan Silver both orally and topically until the wounds are fully healed.

Photos taken 5th January 2015 showing remarkable improvement.




I have no doubt that without Vulcan Silver JL would have faced amputation or worse and I will be eternally grateful to News24 and Neil for reaching out and making Jean-Luc’s healing possible.
