My apologies for this tardy follow-up on my earlier post. My email client went haywire, just as I was sending the email and I was forced to attend previously-scheduled business. Unfortunately, it is something of an effort for me to construct such lengthy postings....and a disillusionment when such effort goes awry. That said, here is the gist of the remainder of my ill-fated post. While the utilization of compression hose gave the most rapid response to the swelling issues, there were a couple of other self-help protocols which yielded quite effective results. One being the use of Alpha Lipoic Acid, used as a direct aid in managing/stabilizing glucose levels and as a VERY effective support for the liver. The insult to the liver (from diabetes) is sometimes as great.....even more pronounced......than that experienced by the pancreas. The wonderful work performed by Dr. Bert Berkson on Alpha Lipoic Acid beneficial effects has revolutionized (in some quarters) the "systemic" approach to addressing diabetes......most especially Type II. We found that 400 mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), taken twice daily yielded POWERFUL assistance, both in glucose management (lowering the insulin requirement dramatically), and in the swift abatement of the more aggravating effects of peripheral neuralgia (burning, tingling and/or pain} directly at the high pain-sites------and most especially the feet/ankles. ALA has demonstrated to be powerful, rapid-acting, non-toxic....and LOW COST, and the additional effect of multiplying the effectiveness of vitamin C and E.......resulting from its ability to recover (in situ) a majority of the principal components......and recirculate them. There is one,other, protocol which is designed to mitigate against the discouraging, constantly-expanding effects of slow and/or non-healing ulcerations attendant to many/most of the long-standing cases of diabetes. The major challenge, which prevents new-tissue granulation and progressive healing...is the result of poor circulation. Blood thinners do, sometimes, provide some measure of relief.....but are in general poor methodology for correcting non-healing ulcers. The lack of oxygen to the insulted tissue beds is the main problem. Our simple protocol of utilizing 10 to 15 ppm EIS (colloidal silver) at 80% by volume, mixed with FULL-STRENGTH DMSO at 20% by volume....sprayed liberally upon the ulcer proper and encased (the entire foot-ankle-calf region) in a small garbage bag---- filled with 100% oxygen, furnished an excellent modality for initiating/sustaining new-tissue granulation -------and, subsequently, healing of the ulcer. We found that by simply inserting a small plastic tube inside the plastic bag and securing the top with a rubber band---worked quite well. We found that maintaining about20 psi discharge pressure level from the artist's air-brush assembly, worked quite well. Actually, any reasonable pressure from the airbrush assembly (even down to 10 psi differential) sufficient to keep the garbage bag inflated, was acceptable. While my posting may seem complicated to some, in actuality, it is quite simple. Employing the foregoing O2 X DMSO/EIS protocol, we were able, in some cases, to effectively correct some foot/ankle non-healing ulcers of over 18 months standing and 1" in diameter-------and to do soin less than 4 weeks. My apologies for such a lengthy post, but I hope the central stream of information clear.....and simple---enough to be of some value to interested list members.
