Dear Marty,
                We have evaluated CS as a stand-alone protocol and as
part of different composite addresses.....and in all cases the
volunteers exhibited measureable improvement (in cases of ulcers from
venous stasis associated with diabetes; slow healing ulcers arising from
general circulatory insufficiency, burns, etc.).
           Our experimental researches always began with a determination
phase: e.g. defining the nature of the "cause" (  e.g. diabetes,
arterial insufficiency, venous insufficiency, trauma complications,
etc.). One of the most effective approaches for "slow-healing ulcers",
from among several employed.....was a protocol which included (1) mild
debridement (especially of the periphery....because of the high-density
population of nerves in some areas, it might be adviseable to utilize
some form of topical anesthetic while performing this activity); (2)
hydration with H202 (also serves to demonstrate the extent of anerobic
activity....if any is present);  (3)  Using 15 to 20 ppm Coloidal Silver
(90% + by volume) mixed with 5% DMSO (by volume), plus 2% (by volume) of
2% (strength) Lidocaine----as the primary treatment
solution........saturate approximately 6 folds of sterile cotton gauze
and loosely apply to completely cover the area of insult and fix in
place with long strips of common adhesive tape ( using an X pattern).
Some, slight pressure will be required as the wet gauze will not adhere
to the
tape.  We found it best to NOT remove or disturb the bandage for at
least 24 hours.....just kept the bandage damp by applying fresh CS+
solution every couple of hours (saturated until solution ran copiously
from the bottom side of the insulted tissue).
At the end of the first 24 hours we removed the bandage and inspected
the damage area.  If nothing untoward was evident we simply repeated the
initial protocol (except the debriding activity).  As a rule---providing
the volunteer did not issue some form of complaint, the bandage was left
undisturbed for a minimum of 48 hours (although the bandage was kept in
a moistened state.....continually).  At that time the bandage was
changed again and left undisturbed for approximately 72 hours....at
which time removal and examination "generally" revealed evidence of
new-tissue granulation from the edges of the ulcer.  In the most
intractable cases we were able to improve the general results through
the utilization of a simple hyperbaric-type oxygen treatment employing a
simple "clear, non-reactive plastic bag" which enclosed the limb (foot
to knee usually) and gently pressurized (around 10 psi or less.....just
enough to keep the bag fully inflated) with 02 for 20 to 30 minutes at a
time.  This was repeated 3 times daily, in most cases.  Occasionally,
this ancillary protocol yielded outstanding results.
                One additional comment:  On one occasion, we achieved
most gratifying success for an older (80 yrs) volunteer suffering from
an ankle area non-healing ulcer which resisted ALL of our attempts to
secure an effective remedy.  Almost as an act of desperation, medical
leeches were utilized by placing them directly "below" the ulcerated
area.  The results were quite spectacular (in this single case) as the
blue colored tissue of the entire foot and lower ankle began to display
a pinkish tint within 24 hours and rapidly spread to incorporate the
entire foot within four days.  This explanation is not to be construed
as a recommendation for the use of medical leeches.....and the
literature claims there are "possibilities" of ancillary
pathogenic/infectious agents to be considered.  This being said,
"possibilities' might loom rather small in view of alternative
"certainties"------in life-or limb threatening  circumstances.
                    In any event, you may find something in these
statements to assist you in your personal experimental medical
researches.
                                                    Sincerely,  Brooks
Bradley.
p.s.  Additionally, scar-tissue formation was mitigated considerably
through the generous/continuous  use of  D-Alpha vitamin
E........applied immediately after complete surface graulation of the
insulted area.
            If there are spelling, punctuation or grammatical errors in
foregoing, please accept my apologies...but I must go now....an
emergency calls me......I cannot review this message.
