No haven't tried those yet. In diabetes, a toe infection can quickly spread to the foot and beyond if not treated right away. Last year he had an infected toenail that became gangrenous rather quickly, resulting in amputation of the toe. If it had spread further, part of the foot would have had to go. Not something we want to face again. Healing will happen if circulation is restored and the vibration platform seems to be helping. Thanks to all for the info about heat/ice hydrotherapy. I know that works wonders with tendonitis.....will look into it. Kathy

Have you considered laser to help healing? Or Rife frequencies?

I was wondering of anyone knows if he can take silver at the same time or if it would potentially cancel out the effects of the antibiotic. BTW he started using a vibration platform ten minutes three times a day and it seems to be helping with the circulation to his feet. We shall see.

Sometimes they can occur months after usage.
