We were first encouraged to investigate this methodology after
observing the results some of our colleagues had achieved (as an ancillary benefit) while utilizing a hyperbaric O2 chamber in an effort to "wake up" large areas of the brain in children suffering from cerebral palsy. The protocol was aimed at reviving
this brain tissue, which showed no tendency to deteriorate....but which displayed no conventional activity----actually, appearing to be in a state of "suspended-animation". While both children did, in fact, benefit from the pressurized O2 treatments.....the spontaneous remission of some non-healing ulcers....in both cases (one 7 and one 9 year old)caused us to reflect
on designing a protocol which lay persons might utilize to good effect
in similar ulcer cases.
We were especially intrigued at the possibility of effective address for the geriatric community....as poor peripheral circulation is
quite common among the elderly (especially diabetics and cardiovascular challenges).
A majority of diabetics....and nearly all persons suffering from venous stasis (involving poor/incomplete vein-valve closures) present with pronounced swelling of the surrounding tissues in the
calf, ankle and foot areas. This swelling is the result of the clear fluid leakage through the vein walls into the surrounding environment (resulting from the incomplete closure of the valves and the absence of any scavenging pressure on the venous side of the circulation system). This condition gives rise to a most difficult circumstance because the interstitial pressures (among tissues surrounding veins) cannot now be removed by normal biological processes....to wit: ulcers erupt and the continual outflow of fluid debris prevents normal tissue granulation from forming. Note: Many people are not aware that fluid recovery on the return side of the heart must rely on muscle-tissue action and good valve closure.....to successfully return to the heart proper. This explanation is given to explain
why ANY TOPICAL treatment is unable to CURE the causative condition
itself and most are palliative only, in nature. However, there are
measures which can greatly assist in minimizing the swelling problems....e.g. raising the legs, when sitting, to a position with the feet at least level with the buttocks and preferably to the height
of the heart; walking; NEVER crossing the legs when sitting; wearing
surgical weight compression hose (15 to 20 mm compression), etc.
Now comes the explanation. The reason the ulcers tend to abate is
because the COMBINATION of CS (for pathogen suppression), DMSO (local circulation improvement and CS transport) and the rich O2 atmosphere (mitigates against the O2 starvation prevalent in these conditions).
My apologies for this "trip-through-the-woods" explanation, but
it is hoped such will be of some value to list members.
