A 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 about 20 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 so in less than 4 weeks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ : > ** > No haven't tried those yet.
