Dear Jason,
We have, in the past, evaluated
bentonite and kindred clays, as a protocol support for CS....in topical
applications. Our results were mixed. We have experienced superior
results using Raw honey X CS mixtures around 50% each, by volume.
Honey, like bentonite, is hygroscopic....but with the attendant
advantages of exhibiting antiseptic qualities of its own---and
releasing microscopic quantities of H202 directly at the wound
surface/atmosphere interface....on a continuing basis.
One adjunctive procedure we found of considerable
value in pain management for volunteers experiencing pronounced pain
from exposed nerve tissue, was the substitution of 2% strength Lidocaine
solution for 10% of the CS solution (by volume). This modification
ameliorated all attendant pain (within 5 minutes) at the insult
surface----in all cases where employed.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
p.s. Do remember that hygroscopic substances are, essentially,
dessicators and as such are continually drawing moisture from the tissue
fields to which they are applied. This being the case, there is a
minimum of true particle exchange between the subject tissue and the
hygroscopic material (in the absence of an entraining transporter such
as DMSO). Apparently, there is some conduction from the tissue side
toward the hygroscopic interface......at least until one field or the
other experiences complete dessication.
