Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to report research results.
Foreward
Before reading this document, please read the parent document:
www.PhillipsCompany.4T.com/CC.pdf
Think of the field tests reported here as informal (not clinical) tests. These tests were
carried out under informal conditions.
© Phillips Company 2010
The ingredients in our tetracycline products include ONLY ingredients that can be ob-
tained over the counter (OTC) without a perscription.
In some cases (reported in this document), discoveries were made. This often happens
when someone is given a medication without formal directions for use, except that it
should be used only on the skin. Occasionally, the benefit of the remedy is found to be
useful for conditions not previously anticipated.
The TABC formulations used in these tests were made available to the users at no cost.
No product was offered for sale. No product was sold during these evaluations.
We appreciate any feedback. Contact hp@valliant.net via email.
Tetracycline-ABC is not marketed as a treatment for MRSA or
staph infections in the USA; only outside the USA
The reason for this is that the FDA has NOT approved tetracycline or Tetracycline-ABC
for sale as a treatment for MRSA or staph infections. Nothing in this document (or any
document or web site sponsored by Phillips Company) shall be interpreted as claiming or
implying that our products are for sale in the USA for use as treatments for MRSA or
staph infections.
The only way that any Phillips Company products, including Tetracycline-ABC, can be
used for treatment of MRSA or staph infections is if a physician elects to do that, based
on NO marketing or sales of our products for that purpose in the USA.

Tetracycline-ABC is more effective against MRSA and staph than
against any other bacteria for which TABC has been tested
Best
© Phillips Company 2010
For MRSA and staph bacteria, the TABC kills the bacteria over an area (ZOI) which is 22 to
23 times larger than the area (ZOA) where the TABC is applied. This AMPLIFIED BIO-
LOGICAL COVERAGE is desired because this special formulation carries the tetracycline
deep into the skin when it is rubbed in.
Tetracycline-ABC attributes
√ Tetracycline-ABC is a very broad-spectrum topical antibiotic. It is an effective
bacterial agent for every harmful bacteria for which test data has been acquired during all
tests and evaluations.
√ TABC is “skin colored” and is transparent when applied to the skin. The color is
yellow-orange which blends well into the color of the skin -- and it absorbs readily into
theskin. Minor precaution is needed to prevent staining of clothing if the area is not ban-
daged.

Pam, a 60-year-old
female, turned to Before
Tetracycline-ABC after
using other antibiotics (1/6/2011)
unsuccessfully.
Before using TABC, her
physician perscribed
clindimycin,
doxycycline, keflex and
other medications, but

the staph infection
persisted.
The diagnosis of her
condition was “staph
infection.” The
diagnosis was not
explained as a MRSA Before
infection, although a
MRSA infection is
suspected because the
condition was resistant
to other perscribed
antibiotics.
The magnified view at
the right shows the
lesions on her scalp.
Because the condition
involved both the scalp
and the neck, allergies
to soaps and shampoos
were ruled out as the
cause.

Day 4 Report received on DAY-10, 1/24/2011: When
I treated the bumps in a clustered area, and then
stopped, I broke out along the outer perimeter of
the area. This time when I received the second
shipment of TABC, I treated my entire scalp. That
seems to have calmed things down. No new
outbreaks in the past 24 hours, since I treated my
entire scalp. The TABC treatment is also drying
up the few outbreaks on my face as well.

2010.
Tanya began using TABC on January 10, 2011. These photos document the medical history
of her MRSA infection and surgery 4 months before she began using TABC.
“Dr. Phillips, for
your records, here
is the only picture I BEFORE
have of pre-surgery
MRSA, taken the (Photo taken August 2010)
day before I went to
the clinic for culture
tests and 2
clindamycin
(300mg each)
shots. I think this
© Phillips Company 2010
is a picture of pretty
classic MRSA pre-
sentation. The boils
started out as just a
pimple around a
hair follicle.
Thought your test
results would be
more 'complete'
with this 'before'
picture.
Thanks, Tanya”
BEFORE
Tanya’s report dated 1/10/2011: “I had
MRSA surgery which was performed
August 24, 2010. This site reactivated
(became inflamed/infected) just 2 weeks
ago.”
MRSA Page 14Dr. Phillips, here is a picture taken 12.25.10, front sore along a 17 year old surgery scar line,
(the original surgery was for a fibroid removal, it was on a stalk, was removed thru this scar,
when the surgeon stitched it closed, she caught the abdominal wall lining in with the skin. 6
months later I had 'hernia' surgery to correct it -- Oregon health plan. The sore started with
just a pimple-like eruption. it started on 11.7.10, and grew to this size by Dec. 25, 2010. I
hope this helps your field study be more complete.

Tanya: “Here is a picture that I BEFORE

worsening and starting to weep
really bad. This photo was taken
before I was given clindamycin
shots and capsules.”

BEFORE The magnified photo at the left shows
TABC the “cluster” nature of the bumps and
lesions. This is characteristic of a
(1/1/2011) bacterial infection that results from
enhanced bacterial growth following a
quorum-sensing event.
Treatment successful at decreasing the
bacteria concentration (colony-forming
unit concentration) can often lead to a
smoother (less clustering) appearance,
followed by resolution of the condition.

The “weeping” nature of
Tanya’s skin lesions is often
associated with minor
lesions, as shown circled in
the magnified photo.
MRSA Page 17Tanya had been a MRSA patient for several months before she began using TABC. The
red (inflamed) area around the surgical site suggests a lingering infection; probably
MRSA. This type of infection, because of the previous surgery, is an indication that the
MRSA infection is deep; not just on the surface of the skin.

Tanya: “This rash, on my

pimple, beginning January

to this rash in one week.”
MRSA Page 21Physician’s decision: Tanya received Tetracycline-ABC and began using it on January 10,
2011 (Day 1). On that day she was also seen by her physician. The patient and the
physician, by mutual agreement, suspended other treatments and prescribed standard
tetracycline to be taken orally, 4 times each day. The purpose of this was to combine the
TOPICAL treatment (Tetracyline-ABC) with ORAL treatment, with the hope of fighting the
MRSA with a combined effect.

Report received from
Tanya on Day 2:
“Here's my left ear, 40
hours after the first use
of TABC; after a total
of 8 applications of
Tetracycline -ABC.”
MRSA Page 22Dr. Phillips, Here’s a photo
of my chest. Notice how
much the rash had spread by
Day 2
Monday, the individual
blisters that formed on each
(1/12/2011)
hair follicle are drying up
and stopped weeping. The
little crust tops are coming
off. The redness has faded
considerably.
Thanks so much for sending
the medicine. I had been on
clindamycin for 6 days, and
the sores were not
responding, in fact my chest
and ear rashed out while I
was taking the clindamycin.

The Dr. K.C. prescribed oral
tetracycline, 500mg. 4X
daily, for 10 days. I’ve taken
8 doses of that as prescribed.
unfortuneately, my outer
vulva is starting to exhibit
Day 2
and feel like candida
infection is taking root, just
(1/12/2011)
like last time in Sept. —I
stopped all the herbs I was
taking for that and for the
hot flashes/night sweats. I
hate the fluconazole that he
prescribed for the candida.
After tomorrow, I may cut
back the oral dose of
tetracycline to 3X day. I
feel really grogged out and
hate the candida I feel
coming on. In my opinion,
taking internal antibiotics
for a skin condition is about
the goofiest way to treat it!
If you’ve used TABC for toe
fungus, could I put some on
my outer vulva, to treat the
candida patches (fungus)?
With gratitude, Tanya
MRSA Page 23Dr. Phillips, Here is base
of my spine, 40 hrs. later,
and after 8 applictions of Day 2
TABC. The weeping has
stopped, thickened skin has (1/12/2011)
started to crust and come
off as dry flakey skin.
Also please note, I’ve been
applying the TABC to the
purple spots, as well. I
can’t be sure but I think
they are lightening a little
too. Those purple spots
were from the original
infection in August. I had
put tea-tree oil on them in
September and they

lightened a little, but not
like the past 40 hrs.

blisters are drying up, notice
where old scar line is, can see
the purpleness of the MRSA.
Above the scar line, the skin
is crusty and starting to flake
away. I think this one spot is
still the worst, because it was
so large, initially.
The sore above my lip, below nose, has crusted also. When the PA saw that one on Monday,
he thought it looked ‘herpetic’ —which i have had herpes sores before, and I was upset 3
days before the sore errupted. (usually that’s how it works for me...) regardless, I’ve put
© Phillips Company 2010
the TABC on it and it dried up the blisters.
For the record, I had impetigo (on my lips) when I was 4 yrs old; I know that’s a staff
infection too,

Dr. Phillips,
My progress is continuing. I sure appreciate the improvements I am experiencing.
Thanks, Tanya
Report received from Tanya on Day 4 (1/14/2011)
Dr. Phillips, As you know, I recieved the first medicine on Monday p.m. and applied 2x that
evening. Today would be day 4, and I have applied the tetracycaline ABC 18 times prior to
these photos. I am keeping a log of when I apply the topical medicine and when I take the
oral tetracycaline as well, I can set this up on a chart or timetable for you, if that would help
your test results. The left ear was the most recent sore to errupt. As you can see from this
© Phillips Company 2010
photograph, it is still alittle crusty, but healthy pink skin is showing through. The pain
has subsided; the weeping has stopped; the swelling has gone down, and I can wear
my glasses again! That is greatly helping my attitude to improve.
Thanks, Tanya

Day 4
MRSA Page 28Dr. Phillips, Here is the sore on the base of my spine. I hope this isn't too close. The
redness has faded; the blistering has gone, and new pink skin is showing. The crusty skin
has flaked off.
Note the large MRSA surgery scar (from the surgery last year). It had a bump raised in
it's left center when we started Tetracycline-ABC on Monday. Today, the bump has
shrunk by half (half the original size). Although it is still there, it has gone from
the size of a bean to the size of a small pea. The weeping has stopped. I can feel
the bump is less sensitive, because this when I awakened this morning, I was lying
on my back -- I haven't done that for 6 months! That bump inside the scar tissue area
had pressed on the base of my spine and that made it uncomfortable for me to lean back
in a chair or car seat; or to lie flat on back. Thanks, Tanya

considerably.
The angry redness has

The skin is smoother, softer;
not thick and leathery feeling

Day 4
MRSA Page 31Tanya’s diet and medication report on Day 4:
Tanya’s diet
I am still on this strict diet: organic food only, herb tea, oatmeal or cream of rice each
morning, fresh garden salad for lunch, and bean, split pea, lentil, or brown rice soup for
supper. My only snack food is unsweetened yogurt with cashews or almonds, and ground
golden flax meal.
Tanya’s food supplement program
“I have been taking 3 capsules (40 billion colony forming units per capsule, of Probioitics),
every night, usually at 1 a.m., 3a.m. and 5 a.m., dividing a liter of water with doseages. This
is to help prevent the candida from taking root. I am trying to take the Probiotics capsules
© Phillips Company 2010
as far as possible (time separation) from the oral antibiotics, in the night, with plenty of water
to help keep that darn candida from rooting in. Last September when I was previously on
Clindamycin antibioitics, I had candida VERY BAD...even though I wasn’t eating/drinking
any sugar, cafeine, gluten, or alcohol.”
Tanya’s medication (as of Day 4)
“I am still taking oral tetracycline, but today I only took 3 doses instead of 4 doses daily. I
had been on Clindamycine for 6 days before Monday, then switched to Tetracycline, oral
4X daily. Candida was visiting my outter vulva, so I cut back on the oral dose, from 4X to
3X per day. That makes me having been on oral antibiotics for 10 days total.”
Tanya also used Tetracycline-ABC on a cold sore
Cold sore Report from Tanya on Day 4: “If Tetracycline-ABC works on herpetic sores,
like the one I have on my upper lip (under nose area), perhaps the TABC works because
herpes is a virus, hiding in a bacteria... That sore on my upper lip/below nose area, has
crusted, peeled and almost faded. If it is a herpes sore, for me they have a life span of
about 10 days, going thru the blister, drying up, cracking and healing process. This
sore has crusted, dried, and new supple skin is already showing through after using
Tetracycline-ABC for only 4 days.
MRSA Page 32Dr. Phillips, This is 'Day 7', left ear. I didn’t want to run out of the Tetracycaline-ABC, so I
reduced the # of applications from 5 applications/day (Friday, January 14th) to 4 applications/
day (Saturday, January 15th) to 3 applications/day (Sunday, January 16th). These photographs
were taken at noon, after just 1 application this morning.
I am amazed at the healing process! This morning when I awakened, I felt different.
It is difficult to describe being sick with MRSA for 6 months, and then feeling not so
sick. It is like I have to learn how to live again; learn to look ahead and live life like
I did before contracting MRSA. I have been so ill for so long that it seems foreign to
feel normal again.
I am still taking 3 oral tetracycaline doses per day.
Thanks, Tanya

hip, Day '7'. Please note how the
red circle has diminished in size, and 1/17/2011
the color of the circle of inflamation
is fading. The surgical scar at the
center of the circle is not so tough
and leathery. The skin on the scar
tissue has started to flake off and is
a bit itchy, like new 'good' skin is
growing underneath. Almost all
the blistering and bumps have gone.
The skin looks like its really
improving. Thanks, Tanya

Day 7
1/17/2011
MRSA Page 34Dr. Phillips, Here is the photograph of the base of my spine, 'Day 7'. By my estimation, this
is after 29 applications of Tetracycaline-ABC. Although the MRSA scars are still red and
skin is flaking from them, the surrounding skin is healing well. the blisters, bumps, and
angry red skin has faded. The largest MRSA scar, at bottom of the photograph, had a
bean- sized bump in its center when began treatment. As of today (Day 7) that bump
has shrunk from bean sized, to pea sized and perhaps even smaller. I can almost lay
on my back comfortably for the first time in 6 months. I was unable to ride in a car
seat or drive, because I couldn't scoot back in the seat, now I am gingerly sitting
back in a normal sitting position!

from August 24th, 2010, you will see many small purple spots on my bottom. When I get
more Tetracycaline-ABC (shipment expected tomorrow), I plan to put the TABC liquid on
the many small purple spots you can see here. To me, these seem to perhaps represent the
areas that could be future bad spots (MRSA infections). I plan to see if the TABC might be
effective at fading them away as well. Thanks, Tanya

Day 7
1/17/2011
MRSA Page 36Dr. Phillips, Here is the photograph of the MRSA lesions on my lower abdomen, Day '7'.
This is the bad spot that wasn't even an issue at the time of my original MRSA infectons last
year, nor was this area infected with MRSA at the time of the original GYN surgery years
ago. The bad spot became infected with MRSA around mid-October, 2010. By that time,
I had been sleeping and lying on my stomach for almost 3 months because of the infection
on my lower spine. I was having bad night sweats and hot flashes.
© Phillips Company 2010
The area on my chest and this area (lower abdomen) were probably not getting adequate air.
These 2 areas were sweaty, because the weather was very humid and muggy and hot at that
time of year where I live. I think the hot/humid skin was one reason why I developed these
bad spots on my chest and on my lower abdomen. The old scar line had always been an
unusual spot, with abnormal sensations -- and the thread (suture), used by the surgeon kept
coming to the surface through little pimples. This happened for years after the surgery,
along the 17-year-old surgery scar.
MRSA Page 37As you can see, the blistering is healing, and the skin has taken on a pale, better
color. Some skin is still flaking off and this spot seems to be the slowest one to come
around.
Day 7 (1/17/2011)
Please see note below.

Before I began using TABC, this spot was so big and scary. Now this spot looks better
and feels better "underneath it".
Thanks, Tanya
Note: The scar line is shown as a dotted line. This scar, from a surgery 17 years
earlier, became MRSA infected recently, and was the most-seriously infected
lesion, compared to other lesions at other body locations being treated
simultaneously.

MRSA Page 44Day 10 -- Tanya’s report from the clinic
Today, I went to the clinic. Dr. KC saw me and was very excitied and encouraged by
my MRSA healing progress. He was excited by how the blistering rash had healed.
He had a student in the office with him. I showed them the BEFORE pictures, and
then showed them my healing sores; They both were amazed. He read the email you
had sent to me, about the request for blood tests for furthering the field test. That's when he
decided to call you and make sure he got the right one. He wrote up the script for the blood
culture test, which the clinic couldn’t provide. He took the urine CFU test, as it only cost
$2 at the clinic. I had printed off 4 pages from the 50 page online pdf document (the intro
page, 2 graphs, and the list of bacteria kill ratios) hoping to spark his interest. He said I
didnt have to continue with the oral tetracycaline. I went to the local hospital and they drew
the blood for the culture tests. They said it would take 48 hrs for results, so I will return on
Monday to pick up the records.
The nurse at the clinic who took my temperature via my left ear remembered how bad it had
© Phillips Company 2010
looked when she had seen it previously, on Monday, January 10th. She was so happy to
hear how well the topical TABC worked. The nurse who drew the blood was interested in
what the blood was for, and she became very interested when I explained. It’s no wonder,
because there are so many people in this county who have MRSA.
I am feeling so much better! There is hope in my heart that there will be life after
MRSA!
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it!

Tanya -- Can systemic MRSA be cured
with a topical medicine?
© Phillips Company 2010
Topical MRSA is a skin infection.
Systemic MRSA is when MRSA bacteria is in the blood stream, affecting the
entire body.
This is the first attempt to treat presumed systemic MRSA with a topical
medicine. The results shown here are very encouraging.

> Thanks, Tanya
You are right, to expect problems in the future. I suspect you have what is called "systemic
MRSA" which means that it is probably in your entire system ( in your bloodstream), where
it can live for weeks or months before it causes other infections -- probably starting with
another round of skin infections.
When that happens, those new sores can be treated with TABC, and you should expect
similar results.
But, there is another option if you want to extend the ongoing field test. The option is for us
to try using TABC to drive the MRSA totally out of your body. This would involve two
blood tests (to be done by your physician) and the use of TABC topically (no shots; no
pills).
If you want to do this, please let me know so we can make a plan for that.
MRSA Page 47The way it is now, in the medical world:
Modern medicine has a difficult time treating and curing MRSA. (You already know that.)
In the USA, more people die each year from MRSA infections than the number of people
who die from AIDS each year. (You probably know that, too.)
Our field tests continue to show that we have an effective MRSA treatment, using TABC.
In fact, we have never seen a failure of our field testing of TABC. But the medical professionals
don't yet know very much about TABC -- it is a new drug that seems much better than any
drug currently in use, and side effects are almost non-existent for most people. If you ask
your physician to cure you of SYSTEMIC MRSA, you will probably be hospitalized and
given VANCOMYCIN with an IV tube in your arm. VANCOMYCIN is the strongest and
© Phillips Company 2010
most effective drug currently being used by modern medicine, but it is effective (successful)
only about 40% of the time, and it often causes first-stage kidney failure... (THAT is the
reason why most physicians reserve the use of VANCOMYCIN for use as the drug of last
resort, when MRSA infection becomes a life-or-death matter.)
I think we have a good chance of curing you of MRSA throughout your system,
including your bloodstream, by applying TABC to your skin -- no VANCOMYCIN,
no bad side effects, no shots and no pills. Here is how we would do that:
1. You would ask your physician to do a blood test and ask for a MRSA CULTURE
TEST to be done by the lab. Ask for a CFU count to be provided by the lab to your
physician. This establishes whether you have MRSA bacteria in your blood. I'm almost
certain that test will be "positive" saying that you have MRSA in your blood.
2. We will supply you with TABC for continuing use, much like you have been
using it, but we recommend that you use TABC on your neck and your wrists. These are
places where blood vessels are near the surface of the skin. We expect TABC, using
TRANSDERMAL delivery, to fight the bacteria in your blood vessels. This is because we
believe TABC has a higher transdermal efficiency than any other antibiotic in the world.
3. After using TABC on your neck and wrists for 2 or 3 weeks, you will ask your
physician to REPEAT the blood test. This would be an identical blood test (identical to
MRSA Page 48what was done in Step 1 above). Your physician would order a MRSA CULTURE TEST
to be done by the lab. Ask for a CFU count to be provided by the lab to your physician.
This establishes whether you have MRSA bacteria in your blood. We believe there is a
good chance that the test will show that you NO LONGER HAVE MRSA IN YOUR
BLOOD.
Please let me know if you would like to extend the ongoing field test with the goal of getting
the MRSA out of your body completely. If this extended field test is successful, you should
then be MRSA-free. If you choose to end the field test when the skin lesions are healed, we
will be pleased to do that because you have been an EXCELLENT field test subject and
your feedback comments and photos are so good that your case will be studied by physicians
for years to come.
So, the choice (whether to extend the field test) is totally your choice.
If you want to extend the field test, the first blood test should be done very soon -- in the
next 2 or 3 days if you can get an appointment with your physician. The reason is that we
© Phillips Company 2010
want the first blood test results only 2 or 3 days after all the open lesions have stopped
weeping. I think we are already at that stage, so "the sooner the better" is my recommendation
for the first blood test.
Please let me know....
Kind regards,
Howard
Tanya’s decision: Extend the field test
Dr. Phillips, Yes! I would gratefully agree to extend the field test! I'd jump at the chance to
get rid of this darn MRSA.
I already have a doctor's apt scheduled for day after tomorrow, Thursday @ 10.30 a.m. I
will phone the clinic tomorrow to make sure they can accomadate the MRSA blood culture
test. I will ask for a CFU count.
I look forward to this opportunity and am agreeable to using the TABC for another 2-3
weeks.
Thanks so much. So far, this has been a blessing and a miracle for me.
Tanya
MRSA Page 49Consultation with Tanya’s health care provider, 1/20/2011.
Notes by HP: I received a phone call from Dr. KC’s assistant and then spoke with Dr. KC.
He wanted to discuss the kind of test that would be best. We talked about that, so that he
could order a test that would be best, in his thinking, for getting a quantitative measure of
MRSA bacteria in Tanya’s system. He considered both urine and blood tests, and decided
on blood tests. He scheduled another appointment with Tanya two weeks from now, and
will repeat the test at that time to evaluate progress toward our goal of driving the MRSA
CFU count to zero.
Other items of interest from Dr. KC during the phone call:
n “Previously a skin culture was done. She had definitely had a MRSA infection
© Phillips Company 2010
for some time.”
n “I had treated her with clindamycin and over several months she would get a
little better and then worse.”
n “I see some real progress. She is very much better now.”
Test plan to treat systemic MRSA using a topical mediction
How do topical MRSA infections become systemic MRSA infections?
MRSA infections may penetrate through the skin into the soft tissues beneath, and when
this occurs, the infection can become very dangerous. If the bacteria stays in the lower
layers of skin and connective tissue, it can cause an itchy red rash that spreads called
cellulitis; if it seeps into the lower connective tissues called the fascia it can cause a “flesh
eating” disease known as necrotizing fasciitis. The bacteria can also penetrate and
colonize soft tissues and cause life-threatening organ damage, or they can escape
on to into the bloodstream and cause widespread infection. This condition is called
systemic MRSA. (Ref: http://www.healia.com/healthguide/guides/mrsa-and-other-staph-
infections/what-are-the-symptoms-of-a-staph-infection )
MRSA Page 50Symptoms of internal or systemic MRSA infection may include multiple skin rashes and
other symptoms.
Life-threatening internal MRSA infections can occur in the bones, joints, heart valves,
lungs, and in the bloodstream. Infection of bone causes osteomyelitis, joint infections
cause a painful arthritis, infection of the heart valves causes endocarditis, and lung
infection tends to lead to pneumonia. When bacteria infect the blood it is called
bacteremia and this may lead to septic shock, which is fatal in about half of cases.
Tanya’s case was believed to be SYSTEMIC MRSA.
The goal was to drive the MRSA out of her system. This means that the goal was to drive
MRSA out of her bloodstream. The test plan adopted to do this was:
Diagnosis before the use of TABC: “Previously a
skin culture was done. She definitely has had a MRSA
infection for some time,” according to her health care
© Phillips Company 2010
provider.
Phase 1: Treatment of her multi-location skin
lesions -- Tanya’s lesions were treated with TABC
for almost 2 weeks during which some TABC was
introduced into her bloodstream and her lymphatic
Ref: http://www.merckmanuals.com/home/sec18/ch201/ch201b.html
fluids because some of her lesions were weeping at
the time of TABC application to the lesions.
Blood test #1: This test was carried out to determine
how much MRSA was still present in her system.
Phase 2: TABC topical treatment with the goal
of driving bacteria out of her system. TABC is to be
frequently applied to her skin in spots where blood
vessels are near the surface of the skin, including the
underarm side of the wrists, underarms (armpit area),
the back of knees, the sides of the neck and the back
of hands. The TABC will be “rubbed in” frequently,
but especially right after a shower/bath, when the skin
is red because of the dilated blood vessels.
Blood test: This test will be carried out to determine
how much BACTERIA can be found in her system,
after approximately 2 weeks of TABC topical
treatment.
MRSA Page 51Protocol details -- Systemic MRSA treatment began 1/21/2011
Tanya -- I recommend you begin the new procedure today, so we can have a FULL 2
WEEKS of treatment between the blood test today and the blood test planned for two
weeks from now. TABC is to be frequently applied to your skin in spots where blood
vessels are near the surface of the skin, including the underarm side of the wrists, underarms
(armpit area), the back of knees, the sides of the neck and the back of hands. The TABC
should be “rubbed in” frequently, but especially right after a shower/bath, when the skin is
red because of the dilated blood vessels.
How to do it: Each application of TABC requires ONLY A FEW DROPS for each location.
For application in the underarm area, I would think about 4 or 5 drops of TABC would be
enough. If you rub it in for about 20 seconds, it should all be gone. If any TABC remains
after rubbing it in for 20 seconds, that means too much TABC was used.
You can apply it frequently -- perhaps 4 times daily if that is convenient for you to do.
© Phillips Company 2010
The goal is to "keep it on the skin," which can only be done with frequent re-application of
the TABC. You can decide what is convenient for you to do, because there is no overdose
issue with TABC.
Look for this side effect: If we are really fortunate, we will get enough TABC in your
bloodstream to kill all the MRSA bacteria. There is one thing to "watch for." About 15 or
20 minutes after you have applied the TABC, try to be aware of a mild taste in your mouth.
The taste might remind you a bit of mild garlic, or perhaps a metallic taste. If you sense this
it will be very mild and not easy to notice unless you are "looking for it." That probably will
NOT be noticed, but if it is, please write down the timing of the taste, because that is very
good information to have. We would LIKE for this sensation to occur with you, but I
suspect it will not be noticed. The reason we WANT this sensation is that, if it should
occur, it tells us that we really ARE getting good transfer of the tetracycline from the surface
of the skin into the blood vessels.
Kind regards, Howard Phillips
Report from Tanya on the first day of the systemic MRSA
treatment (1/21/2011)
Dr. Phillips,
I started the new protocol for the extended field study last night. I want to be sure I am
applying the TABC correctly. I am continuing to apply the TABC to my MRSA sores. In
MRSA Page 52addition, I am putting 4 drops on; per location: behind both knees, in both armpits, on both
inside wrists, and both sides of my neck, on each side of neck, near my windpipe (carodid
artery location).
I am applying the TABC at times when it is applied to the MRSA sores; at 8 a.m., noon, after
each shower, (approximately 4 p.m.), after supper and half hour before bed.
I have already 'tasted' that metallic taste in my mouth on the 2nd and 3rd days of
application to my MRSA sores, when I was applying it most heavily. I tasted it (mild
taste) this morning, also. I am a super taster, and although noticeable, it is not unpleasant,
easy to accept, if the end result is successfully ridding MRSA from my blood.
I am feeling so much better, that I have gotten back into life again. Before MRSA, I
was a public-service writer. I have started writing again, and that is one of my favorite things
to do!
Thanks! Tanya

P.S. Medical history note: I have had hyperhydrosis since I was 5 yrs. old. I'm a sweaty
person. I am also going through the menopause night sweats and hot flashes.
Phillips Company note (1/21/2011)
Tanya reported that she had “'tasted' a metallic taste on the 2nd and 3rd days of
application to my MRSA sores, when I was applying it most heavily. I tasted it (mild
taste) this morning, also.”
1. The taste is a very good indicator that the TABC is getting into the bloodstream.
2. Tanya’s report means that SOME TABC entered her bloodstream during the
Phase-1 treatments, via the vascular fluid (weeping) that was present during Phase 1.
Although this could have reduced the MRSA in her blood, we believe that was probably
NOT sufficient to drive all the MRSA bacteria out of her system. Therefore, we
recommended that she continue with the systemic MRSA treatment. No overdose
issue is believed to be associated with the additional TABC treatments.

August 24, 2010. This site reactivated
(became inflamed/infected) just 2 weeks
ago, before I began using TABC.”
MRSA Page 57Dr. Phillips, Here is an updated
photograph of the location of the ulcer/ Day 13
lesion in front. This is the location where
the largest ulcer was located. Although it 1/23/2011
was an open sore and weeping before I
began using TABC, this ulcer has healed
nicely. The blisters are gone, the skin
has stopped flaking, and the dark
angry red color has faded away. One
can see where the blisters were; the skin
is still in that location is still healing.
The old scarline is designated by a white dashed line in the photograph below. Where the
largest sore was (on the old surgery scarline), the skin is still purple colored; but it is softer
to the touch, not stiff and hard skin like it was before I began using TABC. New
skin is showing on the left end of the old scar, where the MRSA sore was worst.

Although the whole area has a kind of wrinkly appearance, it is still healing and new skin is
coming in. It is soft, not rough; it is supple, not leathery. Thanks, I greatly appreciate how
the healing is progressing. Tanya

MRSA Page 59Answers from Tanya about SYSTEMIC MRSA treatment (Day
14)
a. Any occurance of tasting the “metallic/garlic” taste?
Usually, Larry and I agree, we taste a garlic or metalic taste in our mouth when we apply
TABC on an empty stomach, between meals. Larry says he tastes it especially after his
hot shower in the afternoon before supper. I noticed it after applying TABC and
exercising (brisk walking), before supper. Not too unpleasant, Not a deterent, just
noticing it. If we eat and then apply TABC, we dont notice it.
b. General feeling — feel good?
© Phillips Company 2010
Yes we are both feeling happier, have a better attitude and feel like a weight has lifted from
our shoulders. TABC has eased the MRSA burden on us—that dreaded feeling of “when
will this come back” has faded away more every day.
c. Good energy?
Yes we both have better energy, Larry has gone out golfing twice in the past 2 weeks, and
has enjoyed good satmina for his round, and gotten good scores. I used to go to bed
between 8-9 p.m. Now I can stay up later, 10-10:30 p.m. I have been sleeping deeper and
feel more rested when I awaken.
d. Any appetite changes?
Yes, I have been waking up hungry since about Day-4 (1.14.11) of the field test. That’s a
good thing, because I had lost a lot of weight from the surgery, from having a cold and
from using antibioitics over an extended period of time. I weighed 108 pounds, on
Thursday (1.20.11) at the clinic using their scale. That’s a gain of 4 pounds since October
11, 2011. My apetite has improved, and I feel like baking again. I worked in a Menonite
nursing home when I was young, (my dad’s family are Menonites) and they can cook!
Now I am converting their recipes to gluten free (GF) organic recipes and I am really
enjoying it! I made GF corn muffins on the 18th, and yesterday, the 23rd, I made a tasty
GF apple-date-oat-spice cake that was delicious!
