Broken ankle and foot

[Guest guest]

Michael,

 

I had a similar fall; April 24th of this year.....did see a Dr. the day

after the fall since I really was having a great deal of difficulty

walking.....X-rays showed 5 spiral fractures...all the Dr. did was put me in a

pressure

boot and told me to stay off of it as much as possible and come back in 2

weeks, I had to go to work and do stairs everyday...at night I took the boot

off

and used a air splint...in 5 weeks the boot was totally off...I made sure I

had calcium every day and took a sleep aid at night...used Ice packs for the

pain...today except for slight discomfort when first getting out of bed in the

mornings I am relatively pain free...

 

good luck with your healing

 

Linda

Regarding clay, I sprained my wrist a couple of weeks ago and it kept hurting

without relief. I then read that Perry used hydrated clay to put on injuries

that she received and felt pain relief the next day. I was so tired of the

discomfort that I did the same thing and by the next day the majority of the

pain was gone. I used it one more night and by the 3rd day, all of the pain in

my wrist was gone. It was amazing as I never would have thought that clay could

help with that.

Re: << >> Re: Broken ankle and foot

 

 

Having been a member of this wonderful forum for a long time I am quite

aware that no one here can, has, will, or shall give medical advice.

But there are some really smart folk about this bunch. I am in need of

advice.

Healthy, active, walks 20 miles a day more or less, male in mid 50s. No

history of diabetes. No neuropathy.

I stepped off a porch last week, somehow missed two steps, landed on my

left foot- but then the entire foot somehow folded over inside and the

shoe itself bent, resulting in my foot being, for a moment, at a 90

degree angle to the inside. The foot was entirely numb at that moment. I

straigtened it, pulled myself up, and fell again as the foot just didnt

work and I was in excruciating pain. I cannot bear weight on it til yet.

I have sustained a similiar trama as the charactor in that movie "

Misery, " and it appears to me that there are a number of injuries. I

think the ankle fractured when I landed on it. In the rest of the fall

the foot was also fractured about an inch below the smaller toes- which

bruised. When the foot further folded over it appears the tendon was

torn as well. I suspect some hairline fractures in the midleg as well.

Bad mess; but I managed after two days in bed to go back to work in a

wheelchair believe it or not... I wouldnt want anyone else to do

that...but I think I have a high tolerance for pain. Nonetheless the

pain itself is debilatating.

I have acquired one of those pressure boots that are made for similiar

injuries and am wearing it at all times. I am using a wheelchair at

work; but crutches to get from and drive car to/from work/home.

I have it wrapped with an ace bandage, and largely am trying to be

still- except for the ordeal of work.

Motrin 800 mg is a poison that I have been ingesting at night, with

occasional hydrocodone. .

I am seeking advice on how to relieve pain without chemicals and how to

promote rapid healing " in similiar injuries. "

I need and want to be able to walk again soon; and sincerely seek any

advice other than " see a doctor. "

Michael

The best thing that I know of for pain, is baking soda - just try

to make sure it is a clean pure form. Take 1/2 teaspoon every four

hours in a glass of water - NOT more then 6 times in 24 hours. This

is important not to take it more then this!! This info comes from Dr

Simoncini; the doctor whom treats candida and cancer successfully

with baking soda. He also uses baking soda to treat the pain of his

cancer patients. I have tried this for bursitic on my shoulder and

also tendinitis of my arm - it was the only thing that worked - even

the strongest anti-inflammatory that I could get did zilch. I have

been warned however not to exceed this amount and take this

seriously.

 

The only thing I know of that is a sure-fire healer of

inflammations of all kinds for everybody are Systemic Enzymes. Here

are some links you can read about them. And if you take them,

realize that the suggested dosage on the bottles are for maintenance

only - not to cure or treat anything. I would start off at at least

15 to 30 capsules a day - 5 to 10 capsules 3 x a day. This works but

does take time. Take for at least 3 to 6 months.

 

Oh and take lots of magnesium - it will make a big difference in

hte bones healing strongly and well. And evidently 80% of us are

dificient, especially those whom are older and also ill. Take it at

least 3 x a day, if not more often.

 

Here are some links to some good articles about systemic enzymes.

Good luck.

Everything You Learned About Enzymes Was Wrong

First let talk about what an enzyme is – an enzyme is a large protein

molecule that cleaves, cuts or eats specific pre-designated things

(think of Pac Man with shark-like teeth). Depending on the

programming of the " teeth " , the enzymes fit over certain substances

in a lock and key fashion, cutting through one specific type of

thing, a particular type protein let's say, yet leaving undisturbed

protein of a similar but slightly different type. Enzymes are

essential as " bio catalysts " , in other words they speed the action of

chemical reactions. Without enzymes involved in every cellular event

in our bodies, the chemical reactions within us would be so slow as

to make life as we know it impossible. There are some 3000+ enzymes

in the human body, most of them of the proteolytic type. These 3000+

enzymes create between 7000 to 25000 different enzyme reactions. The

3000 enzymes themselves are created as a result of either our own

enzyme production (which is finite in nature), or created from

ingesting enzymes from our live or uncooked food. The first thing

the proteolytic enzymes do is to create what is known as the enzyme

cascade. Most of the enzymes active in the reactions that occur body-

wide are proteolytic in nature; that is, they are concerned with

cleaving a type of specific protein or another (we have literally

hundreds of different types and arrangements of proteins in our

bodies). So the vast majority of the 7000 to 25,000 enzymatic

reactions that need to happen within us are proteolytic in nature.

Aside from the 25,000 possible reactions of protein eating enzymes

science now knows, they have 5 primary functions: Natural Anti-

Inflammatory; Anti Fibrosis; Blood Cleansing; Immune System

Modulating; Virus Fighting.; Fat Loss / Energy Releasing By

Dissolving Body Fat. References here.

Systemic Enzyme Therapy Supplement to The Art of Getting Well

This explains many things and answers many questions.I have this on

Word doc - if anybody wishes it, email me.The correct medical name

for the therapeutic use of natural enzymes is " Systemic Enzyme

Therapy. " This means that enzymes flow throughout our body, producing

the desired healing effects. Enzymes are necessary for the adequate

functioning of our whole metabolism. In our body, every part of it is

related to all the rest; that is, that even one tiny disturbance,

biochemically speaking, can result in a complete imbalance. Diseases

are the consequence of this disorder. The deficiency of any of these

co-enzymes will result in a specific medical condition. For example,

vitamin B1 deficiency will elicit " beri-beri. " The vitamin B12

deficiency causes a special anemia called " pernicious anemia. " The

same thing happens with deficiency of essential minerals and trace

elements. Basically, in these cases, we are speaking of an illness

elicited by a disturbance in the enzymatic balance. It is therefore

normal to use enzymes for therapeutic purposes. Substitution in

intestinal enzyme deficiency conditions is a classical treatment

modality that no one would dispute. External use of enzymes for

impaired wound healing (e.g. in the presence of varicose ulcers) has

been part of the armamentarium of medical practitioners for

centuries. Parental lytic therapy with streptolinase or urokinase for

cardiac infarct or for vascular occlusions is today standard

throughout the world. Enzymes are very highly substrate specific. Due

to their different places of action, it is therefore reasonable to

use mixtures of enzymes in the treatment of diseases. One important

enzyme is called the hydrolases, which cleave complex compounds

(esters, peptides, and glycosides).The defense mechanisms of the

organism are fortified by the enzymes. They are important for all the

inflammatory processes, they take care to keep a good blood

circulation, they help in wound healing of any kind.
