Gee, wonder if that would work on arthritis.

Some years ago a Japanese news channel featured a story about a
diabetic man whose foot was likely to be amputated. Gangrene had set
in. It looked awful. As he was a laborer, loss of his foot would
have meant joblessness.
Instead of amputating, the hospital soaked his foot in highly acidic
water. This is made by electrolysis, and is available in drug stores
in Japan, and can also be made at home using an "alkaline water
machine."
The man's foot was restored to normal within a week or so. Nothing
was done but to soak it for a time, then wrap it in sterile cloth.
Drinking the alkaline water throughout the day also helped to regulate
his insulin level, and dramatically reduced his need for injections.
The acidic water also worked wonders on bedsores of bedridden persons.
The machines are under $500 in Japan and are widely available. Some
can be found on sale for under $300.
I think there would be nothing to lose and much to gain by trying this
method.

My husband has such a wound on his toe, about the size of a nickel. He is

the DMSO a lot. The infection seems to be gone at this point, but the
circulation to the toe is poor.
We will try this out, and we even have an oxygen machine in the house! My
only reservation is applying DMSO directly to the wound because there is
still some necrotic tissue there. He is getting it debrided every week or
two. The topical dressing that seems to work best is glycerine and iodine.
Thank you Brooks, for this information. The doctors want to do bypass
surgery on my husband’s leg, and we would prefer not to go that route.

Subject: CS>Non-healing and Slow-healing skin surface ulcers
I noticed a passing inquiry/observation regarding non-healing skin-surface
ulcers. A majority of of non-healing skin-surface ulcers have their origin
based upon
circulation compromises.....presenting especially in diabetics and
advanced cardiovascular insults. During the mid and late 1990s we
conducted some very promising
evaluations of these conditions and implemented....what proved to
be....some effective protocol addresses. Most challenging were the
non-healing ulcers affecting Type II diabetics.....and particularly those
presenting on the lower leg extremities and feet.
By far, the most effective protocol proved to be one involving Colloidal
Silver, DMSO and oxygen. Summarizing the protocol: The "self-help" version
of this experimental protocol consisted, essentially, of a system for
applying 100% oxygen as a surrounding atmosphere of the general
environment....after the generous application of a DMSO X Colloidal Silver
mixture. The actual procedure is as follows: (The following procedure was
designed for insults presenting in all areas below the knee joint) 1.
Performed a preliminary application of undiluted, commercial, 3.5%
hydrogen peroxide; allowing approximately 3 minutes or until all foaming
action has ceased....followed by blotting with clean cotton swab/ball. 2.
Generous application of 20 ppm CS (75% by Volume) mixed
with full-strength DMSO (10% by Volume)....covering the entire insult area
to the point of surface runoff. Note: Be sure the entire treatment field
is completely clear of clothing and other obstructions. 3. Next, carefully
slip a small transparent garbage bag over the lower leg (below the knee),
avoiding physical contact with the injured area and carefully gather the
top of the bag just below the knee joint. 4. Next, using any convenient
source of pure oxygen, with the end of the hose section terminating in a
small plastic tubing.....insert the tubing well inside the garbage bag and
secure the top of the bag with a rubber band. 4. Slowly inflate the bag
with O2, until the bag is well filled (it will easily inflate at low
pressure). Note: The actual pressure is not critical, just keep enough
pressure applied to prevent the collapse of the garbage bag. 5. Maintain
this arrangement for 15 to 20 minutes. Actually, we found that the 02
leakage rates to be quite slow, ! usually allowing us to cut off the
pressure valve for extended periods (more than 5 minutes), before the
inflated bag became sufficiently deflated to require additional pressure.
This simple protocol was most impressive in the positive results yielded
against some of the most intractable slow or non-healing ulcers.....some
of quite long-standing nature (over 6 months). In most cases, twice-daily
procedures resulted in size-increase stoppages within 5 days and
generation of new wound-edge granulation of tissue beginning within 7 to
10 days. This, many times, in cases where the ulcers had increased from
"match-head" size to that of a silver dollar....over a period of 6 months
plus. In approximately 80% of these cases, complete healing occurred
within 4 to six weeks-----usually depending upon the actual physical size
of the > ulcer.
One of the most gratifying results was one case involving a Type II
diabetic who had an ulcer of over 2" in diameter and two years in
age...which had, progressively increased in size while, simultaneously
resisting ALL conventional treatments employed by the allopathic
community.
Some of the list members may be interested in evaluating this protocol in
their experimental researches. Please be advised that none of our research
protocols are intended as direct treatment for ANY existing medical
condition. We DO NOT PRACTICE MEDICINE....in any form.
