Actually, you may not be completely mental here. Although I don't believe your anecdote for one moment, it's true that neem oil has been among one of the 'essential oils' that scientists have been examining in their battle against resistant bacteria. So I did a bit of research. I found that Neem oil has been used for hundreds of years by 'herbalists' as an antibacterial and antibiotic agent. The claim is that a particular component, Azadirachtin, gives it these properties and that it's shown itself to be effective against serious infections like MRSA. There are pages of anecdotes on the net that seem to corroborate this story. So what does the real science say? Well, it turns out that Azadirachtin isn't really antibacterial or antibiotic but limonoid. That is to say it's a biological acid. The oil might treat MRSA not by any antibacterial capability but by starving the infection, literally burning away the flesh that it would feed upon. Not a worthless treatment but not one that could be used practically on an established infection. There's been plenty of research done and it seems that neem oil is not a solution, let alone the only one with similar levels of efficacy. Here's a broader link.
So the results in neem oil treatment of MRSA are poor. That doesn't stop sites like homeremedy here from claiming that it's a practical antibiotic, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal agent. Some sites even claim that it's a spermicidal contraceptive! The real scientific interest is in Azadirachtin's application as a pesticide not an antibacterial medicine.
Sorry Rik, you've fallen for the snake-oil salesmen's pitch.
