Dear Gage,
Almost without exception, cases of this type (most especially in
the elderly) involve some form of veinous stasis or similar
circulatory insufficiency. We conducted some rather extensive
evaluations of lower extremity circulation experimentations/evaluations
during 1999-2000.......almost exclusively on geriatric group
volunteers. In the most serious challenges, multiple protocols were
required----especially hyperbaric-type environmental modifications.
One, very simple, technique involved the utilization of clear plastic
"garbage bags". The entire lower leg....up to the knee....was encased
in the bag and suitable taping or pressure was applied to the top edges
to maintain a very low---or NO---pressure loss. Using a small plastic
tube, 02 was used to inflate the bag to its full capacity (high
pressures WERE NOT required for acceptable results). We found that 20
to 30 minute applications, executed approximately every 4 hours during
the day period were (in a majority of cases) sufficient to MAKE THE
DIFFERENCE between complete remission.....and "control".
This modality proved to be very economical, simple, and
is certainly within the reach of even the most "financially stressed"
experimenter.
For a more complete explanation of the "exactly" how we
conducted these evaluations......contact me "off-list".
I must go now. Sincerely, Brooks
Bradley.
