Dear Mr. Radcliffe,
As has previously been mentioned, the most
pronounced threat comes from compromised circulation to the insulted area. We
have investigated and experimented with a number of different protocols
addressing various forms
of
venous stasis induced ulcers. Although precipitated from various causes,
including diabetes----the challenging circumstances are, essentially, the
same----insufficient blood delivery to the affected site.
We incurred varying results, from these
investigations/experiments......the most promising evolved from a combination
of topical H202 (3.5%) flush, followed by 80%CS X 18%DMSO (full strength) x
2% Lidocaine (2% strength) being
sprayed copiously via a mist. This was followed by 5 to 10 min. exposure to a
5 element (3500 mcd bulbs) LED array placed VERY CLOSE (1/4 to 1/2 inch) to
the ulceration surface. The next procedure was a 40 to 60 minute unobstructed
exposure of
the ulcer to low pressure hyperbaric-type oxygen (25 psi regulated source
pressure) applied by manual valve control to limit the expansion of the 6 mil
thick (clear plastic) garbage-type bag. Following this protocol, a six-layered
gauze bandage
was CAREFULLY placed over the ulcer. The bandage was, always, oversized (by at
least 3/4" edge clearance) and
either X pattern or edge-restrained taped. The entire ulcerated area was then
SATURATED with CS. The ulcer bandage was re-saturated with CS every two
hours during the day; then loosely covered with a plastic covering (after the
last evening
saturation) and left undisturbed until morning----at which time the plastic
"moisture conserver" was removed and the "daylight" protocol of periodic
saturation with CS repeated. The gauze bandage was left undisturbed for 72
hours...from its
original installation and then removed and the ORIGINAL protocol
repeated----in its entirety. Following this procedure the daily pure-CS-only
protocol was followed for approximately 14 days (with intervening "peek-type"
visual observations (from
one of the top edge areas) performed by carefully raising the restraining
medium [tape or velcro] every 3 days.....until the protocol was discontinued
and/or the ulceration healed.
Anyone considering this experimental protocol for their
researches should remember that the Lidocaine is critical for pain
suppression---especially because of the DMSO fraction effect on exposed nerve
tissue.
There is an ancillary protocol of which I am aware, which has
demonstrated pronounced promise in many cases of healing-resistant venous
stasis type ulcerations.....that being the utilization of certain leeches. We
have no direct
experience in this protocol, but have reliable evidence (some quite dramatic)
of the efficacy of this supporting procedure. The principal leech utilized is
hirudo medicinalis. The circulation improvement due to the anti-coagulation
compounds---plus their extenders---
has demonstrated very desirable effects........especially in connecting the
insulted area into a viable ciirculation reationship with the general
cardiovascular support elements.
One website which can supply some general information on
the midical use of leeches is one in the UK, it
www.biopharm-leeches.com They have a U.S. office in
Charleston, S.C. Their telephone number is
1-843-577-4333 Additionally, I am informed that a man named Ray
Sawyer, of Charleston, (he may be connected to Biopharm) is presently raising
these leeches.
I hope these comments are of value to you in your personal
experimental researches.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
