Couple quick questions - - -

[Guest guest]

The derm doc is on vacation and the acupuncture/herbalist is off of Monday.

The adhesive like thing the medical assistant put on my leg ulcer (week and

a half ago) caused a nasty reaction. My leg/foot/ankle is swelling. Gotta

get my water pills refilled, to prevent a catastrophe, ie..bursting open the

ulcer again. Must state:::the ulcer and surrounding area is NOT infected.

Just very inflamed.

So...honey from WHAT plant is the most effective for healing the skin

irritations??

I've over done this a.m....did some (very little) scrubbing in the kitchen

and have to lie down. My tea is brewing in the sunlight. Added a bag of

ginger tea to the mix.

I have to find the strength to go out today, to get vitamin C, honey and the

water pills. I was so hoping to be able to avoid the damn pills, but this

reaction to the bandaging has to be addressed immediately.

Please...who has ideas about the type of honey???

The steroid cream from the derm doc may be contributing to the irritation, I

dunno. It certainly isn't making it any better.

O I have tolie down, too much pain

Thanks

--- MaryKaye, One of the best treatments for leg ulcers is (IMO) a raw cabbage

leaf (organic & washed) applied daily straight to the open wound.

Regarding the use of honey for fighting infections - you can't beat (IMO) Manuka

honey from New Zealand which you can buy in the states by mail.

The thing is with leg ulcers is that when they are on the mend they become very

red and angry looking - that's nature doing it's job!

Is it a diabetic or vascular ulcer I wonder?

Dear Mary Kaye,

 

It is impossible for us in this group to actually know what is causing

the problems that you are having and any suggestions as to diagnosis or

treatment are just that suggestions.

 

To heal you are going to have to learn about vitamins. I mean to

really learn. Most people on this list " think " that they know about

vitamins. They don't. They never bothered to really read much about

them and hope to learn by osmosis. That is possible if the person has

a very long time to do it and they become able to discern the wheat

from the chaff because they are going to hear many different things

both good and bad and everything in between for that matter. Yes, even

on this group too.

 

The amount of nutrients needed to heal is in direct proportion to the degree

of illness and of how long a duration. If a person is quite ill and they

take nutrients in the same quatities of that whiich barely meets the needs of

someone who is well and they then expect them to make us well it is not going to

work.

 

Anyone ill has to take huge quatities of vitamin C, E, and all the

rest of them in proportion to what your body needs in order to heal. Sometimes

that can repreesent huge amounts. The perfect amount for anyone is what they

need at any specific time. How does the person then know how much they need?

They become self educated about nutriernts and their own bodies and needs.

 

Please go to:

 

http://www.doctoryourself.com and read about health, illness, and

nutrients. Read about ulcers. Read as much as you can stand. More than

your need for medication, you need education.

 

I gave up the job of trying to educate others quite some time ago. Not because

I do not care but because it doesn't work. People who get well are the

ones who self educate and the rest hang around the edges and wait for

some to come along and do it for them. It requires a new way of

thinking. A new way of living. A new way of eating. A new way of many

things. No one can do all of that for someone else. This group was

never meant to be a replacement for a health professional although

many of us here have had no other option except that of becoming our own

doctors because we couldn't find or afford the kind of care and

treatment that we wanted.

 

good luck,

 

Frank

 

PS. Ulcers of the legs are common with people who have become so

poisoned with toxic substances that it starts to come through the

skin. So detoxification is as important as putting in the good stuff

to heal.
