Re: Digest Number 1617

Dear ,

I have over 35 years experience, in Toronto, Canada, specializing in the

administration of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

For the last twenty years, HBOT has been, very successfully, utilized to

treat compromised, diabetic wounds.

In July of 2002, HBOT was accepted by the CMS (Centre for Medicaid &

Medicare) in the US as a " covered procedure " , in the treatment

of non healing, compromised diabetic wounds. If a " cut " , such as you

describe, continues to deteriorate beyond 30 days, using conventional

wound care, it will then be covered by Medicare & Medicaid or your private

health insurance.

As a diabetic, you have a predisposition to a more advanced deterioration of

your peripheral vascular system, which results in decreased

circulation. Proper oxygenation is necessary to maintain cell health &

healing. As diabetes progresses, with resultant plaque formation in the

arteries & the capillaries, you will likely develop peripheral neuropathy

symptoms. These manifest as a constant numbness and tingling,

particularly noticed as a lack of feeling on the soles of your feet.Leg

pains, especially at night, will also develop, causing you to lose sleep

at night. Ultimately, you receive a cut on your foot, which will not heal.

HBOT increases the dissolved oxygen content in your reduced blood flow.By

breathing 100% oxygen, in a hyperbaric chamber, at 2.5

Atmospheres, ambient pressure, for a period of 90 minutes, you will

maintain an elevated dissolved O2 content, after the treatment

ends, lasting about six hours or more.This creates a " healing window " of

about 8 hours, daily. Treatment is given once daily, five days a week,

until complete healing is effected. Depending on the condition of your

wound, you may require as little as thirty treatments(6 weeks).

You will likely not notice any change in your wound, during the first few

treatments, Be patient. Once you are exposed to daily treatment,

your body will start growing new capillaries (angiogenesis)which will

slowly begin to enhance your diminished circulation. Angiogenesis is

permanent; however, it only improves the capillary system. You cannot grow

new arteries or arterioles, with HBOT. In 10 to 15 treatments

your wound will be, very visibly, on the road to recovery. Also, if you are

experiencing peripheral neuropathy or leg pain, they may improve.

You may want to look into having IV Chelation, which has good indication for

removing plaque in the arteries; however, the most encouraging

results that I have recently experienced, is in using serrapeptase, a

proteolytic enzyme found in most good health food stores. Developed from the

silkworm caterpillar. It is supposed to slowly dissolve dead protein(plaque)

throughout the cardiovascular system. It is also a first-class

anti-inflammatory, without any of the dangers of NSAIDS(Tylenol et al).

A patient of mine, already with one leg amputation, had almost completed

sixty treatments for a deep ulcer, on his remaining good foot. He

developed a clot in his leg, with a reduced blood flow of 16%. He was told

that he would likely face amputation of the remaining leg.

I called him to inform him about serrapeptase ( I was successfully using it

for my Achilles tendonitis).He started taking it, 12 capsules per day,

and in two weeks an angiogram showed an increased blood flow of 22%. Two

weeks later the results were up to 31%. In another two, up to 36%!

He still has his leg at this time.

I'm sure that you will find a Hyperbaric medical centre in either a hospital

or private hyperbaric wound clinic, in your region. Please keep in mind that

most Allopathic MD's are not familiar with HBOT, as it is not taught in any

medical school in North America. Because the utilization of Oxygen is

considered by Law to be Public Domain ( can't be copyrighted) this not a

great rush by most MD's to invest in research funds & in development.

They consider HBOT to be just another form of alternative medicine: like

herbs, vitamins & nutrition.

Best wishes in your healing pursuit.
