antibiotics good to fight MRSA?

So I know you can't trust everything you read online, but I found this article online that talks about how harmful antibiotics are to treat MRSA and how they are not necessarily the best way to treat the infection. The article also states the current treatments for MRSA actually make you more at risk to get MRSA again. http://www.staph-infection-resources.com/1/mrsa_treatment_bio_usp.html?gclid=CJi_84OyvJkCFRwDagodknz55g so here is the website if any one is interested. Maybe she is just trying to get me to buy her book. I don't know but it was an interesting article that makes me want to know more. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

That sounds like an interesting article. That is scary that many of the treatments actually make you higher at risk to get the same infection again. Do you find this valuable?
