Mother With Foot and Ankle Sores Not Responding to TreatmentsPosted By Stanley (Atlanta, Georgia) on 11/13/2015
I took her to a wound specialist and two doctors and the sores are still not getting well. They're draining, they look really bad and I've used triple antibiotic betadine peroxide ...they were getting well then they started back draining again. Any suggestions? Thank you.

The sores are probably from a lack of circulation; so I'd start with natural (NOT synthetic) vitamin E. I'd start with 100 IUs daily and increase over a month to 400.
To kill the infection I'd coat the foot in clay (bentonite), or activated charcoal and let dry. (Clay plus water and apply wet and let dry.) Remove after an hour with warm water...very gently. I'd just try on a small part of the sore to see how the sore tolerates the application.
And then wrap in very damp white cloth of colloidal silver. I'd do that every day for a week and see if she improved. If so, I'd repeat for a month every other day.

1/2 cup (125 ml) sesame oil
2 tablespoons beeswax
1 tablespoon mastic gum
Mix all these ingredients and melt it using double boiler. Before put it in a jar I prefer to test a teaspoon of it in cold place to get certain level of thickness.
Note: The mastic gum is very necessary to rebuild the ulcers so choose a good kind.

Some years back my mother-in-law began experiencing this malady, too. It begins with painfully cold hands and feet. I bought some dried yarrow and she began having a glass of the tea daily. This happily proved remedial in about a half-hour, her hands warming. The common yarrow is an old time remedy for poor circulation and it works. Ironically it grew everywhere around my mother's home. You may also have some growing nearby; but a pound of the dried herb can be bought through Amazon or Ebay. It is also offered in a pill form which might work though I have no personal experience with that. (I will add that I recently read of another poster here providing their own good experience with yarrow in healing the leg and foot sores of an elder.)
BTW, my mid-80's MIL began daily walking and has watched her diet --low in carbs and high in protein now. She's back to her normal but still takes a cup of yarrow tea, now-and-then.
Aside from this short-term remedy I would also recommend serrapeptase to open the arteries -- a three-month supply of the 120,000 units taken a half-hour before the morning meal. Serrapepatase is slow but it does seem to effectively open restricted arteries within a couple of months, as it has in my own anecdotal experience.

I will tell you again , I have seen this several times and all were cured within two weeks with Hydrogen Peroxide IV's. That can be done by Progressive Medical Center in Atlanta. If you were close to me then I could do it with bagging her foot and using my medical ozone generator.
Lots of times natures things work and sometime only alternative medicine works. Myself , I try to use good judgement between the two.
I am so open minded that I will probably go the allopathic way of ablation to solve my heart electrical problem. I used EDTA Chelation to clean out the plumbing and it worked, so I don't need a by-pass. Learned that ablation has been used for the last 15 years to correct the heart's electrical problems with success. Still gathering data on that subject. However a few more scissions like the one the other day and I will be gone. So I have to make a decision very soon.
And you do to.
