Truck Accident: Glass cuts and bruises

August 31, 2006

I was a back seat passenger in a truck that went down an embankment

and rolled twice at highway speed. I was laying down and did not

have a seat belt on...which may have saved my life. However I did

get deep glass cuts on my illiac crest and painful black bruising to

the entire sacrum area. I was taken to the emergency room where they

flushed the glass out of my back and stitched up two areas--right at

the two bone at the top of the crest in the mid back area--one

appeared indented and had a loose flap of skin. There was internal

bleeding that puffed it up at the time. The wounds are still oozing

blood, that is red and appears fresh and this happened 6 days ago.

The question is....what can be done to help heal these cuts and

bruises?

I have been drinking an herbal tea:

Yarrow

calendula

thyme

hibiscus

Rinsing the sores off with yarrow tea/or the tea above.

Wiping off with aloe vera gel and ingesting aloe vera gel.

I am not supposed to soak the sores while the stitches are still in.

Does anyone have suggestions as to how to help heal these wounds and

to prevent scarring....which the emergency room dr told me I would

have.He gave me a bacitracin zinc ointment to put on the sores and

an antibiotic, cephalexin 500mg.

Much thanks in advance.

emu oil! It's used on burn victims and greatly reduces scarring. It can even minmize already exsisting scars. I use a mixture of emu oil, vit e oil and a drop or two of dmso. Hope this helps you.

Vitamin E applied to the wounds will minimize scarring. Also taking Vitamin E will help.

Also make sure you do the following: 1) use natural mixed tocopherols instead of synthetic Vit E. 2) The first 3 days take 200 IU with each meal then cut down to one 200 IU capsule once a day.
