Guest guest Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hello Karen, > My daughter just got 10 stitches in her forehead and I'm wondering > what suggestions people have for preventing or minimizing a scar. I have two suggestions .. Corsican Helichrysum italicum at 6% dilution in Rose Hip Seed .. and Corsican Helichrysum italicum at 6% dilution in Rose Hip Seed. ;-) It does work .. and substituting a Heli italicum from another origin will NOT give the same results because the chemical profile will be different. Its like trying to grow a Vidalia Onion in Texas .. they can be nice but the soil in Texas is not the same as in Vidalia, GA .. for that matter, the soil in other parts of GA is not the same as that in Vidalia, GA. For two seasons now the supply of Corsican Helichrysum italicum has not met the demand so prices have gone out of sight. > I read once that lavender can make a scar disappear. Has anyone had > a success with this? I can't believe that anyone has because as far as I know, there are no chemical components in Lavandula angustifolia or L. stoechas or L. latifolia or any other Lavender that have such properties. > How soon after the stitches should lavender or whatever is > suggested, be used? When the wound has totally healed .. when there is no longer an open wound. NO essential oil should be used on open or broken skin .. the risk of sensitization then becomes greater. Contrary to rumors found in many Aromatherapy Novels .. even those oils that are considered to be noon sensitizers .. like Lavender and Tea Tree .. do cause sensitization. I know of many people who have become sensitized to one or the other of them. > Thanks in advance for your thoughts and experiences with scars. Welcome you are for sure. Have a nice evening .. and keep smiling. :-) > Karen Butch Owen .. http://www.AV-AT.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Hello Karen. Systemic Enzymes. Not 'Digestive Enzymes'. I have done a lot of posting about Systemic Enzymes. They have 4 basic funtions - one of which is removeing fibroids or scar tissue from your organs. These have been used for over 50 years in places like Japan etc. I have been taking them everyday for over 7 months now and I used to have huge scars on my stomach - appendix, gallbladder, 2 huge burns scars right down my stomach too, etc. And one on my hand from where I put my hard through a window many years ago. The burn scars are gone completely - I was amazed. I was not taking them to get rid of my scars, though when I researched them, I did see many references to them doing that. The scar on the back of my hand from putting my hand threw a window is a fine white line now too - and the other scars on my hand and fingers are gone. In the literature these systemic enzymes are often taken after operations too for the very reason of minimizing scarring both inside and out. Scar tissue internally often causes problems eventually. Here are some articles below about Systemic Enzymes. blessings Shan What Are Systemic Enzymes and What Do They Do? By: Dr. William Wong ND, PhD. Sections - Natural Anti-Inflammatory. Anti Fibrosis. Blood Cleansing. Immune System Modulating.Virus Fighting. There are currently over 200 peer reviewed research articles dealing with the absorption, utilization and therapeutic action of orally administered systemic enzymes. http://www.totalityofbeing.com/FramelessPages/Articles/WhatAreSystemicEn zymes.htm http://www.systemicenzymetherapy.com/TherapeuticApplications/SystemicEnz ymes.htm 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. http://www.biomediclabs.com/systemic_enzyme_therapy http://www.garynull.com/documents/Arthritis/Systemic_Enzyme_Therapy.htm There is additional info included in this pdf file that there is not in the article above. http://www.aliveandwellsf.org/articles/solorzano_Systemic_Enzyme_Therapy _1994.pdf 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.

By Iichiroh Ohhira " Enzymes are a completely natural substance that many health experts call the medicine of the future. If you are suffering chronic pain from arthritis, cancer, sports injuries or heart disease--if you suffer circulatory problems, tinnitus, fibrocystic breast disease, prostatitis, sinusitis, shingles, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, thrombophlebitis or other inflammatory-related conditions, systemic oral enzymes will prove to be the elixer your body craves now.

It is our hope that this website helps to fill the information gaps and allows practitioners and laymen to see the widespread benifits of systemic enzymes to health maintnenece and medicine'.
