Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I can't truly say this is a cure but a friend has done it and says it worked. The physical therapist that had been tending my son years ago told us a true story. He had been working with some doctors and their patients when one of the doctors got a new patient that he was going to have to remove the foot from due to gangrene. The physical therapist said give me three days with this man and we can stop it and he won't lose his foot. The doctor had misgivings but let him go ahead. Immediately the therapist went to the man's room and started with him. He used two foot bath pans. One filled with hot water as hot as the man could stand and the other filled with ice water and ice cubes. He took the infected foot and placed it in the hot water, leaving it there for a few moments, and then moved the foot to the cold water and back and forth and back and forth for about 30 minutes. You can try this yourself just using your hand. When you immerse in the hot water your hand will feel like it is swelling and then in the ice water it feels like it's shrinking. This feeling is much stronger when there is infection involved. By going back and forth you create a pumping action that pumps fresh blood into the gangrenous area. The fresh blood does the healing and carries the infection away. He did this for three days several times a day and the infection left the foot and it was saved. A few years later I cut my thumb on a tool and it got badly infected. I tried the therapist's technique and can I 100% vouch that it stopped the infection. It worked for me.
