Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Thanks for the suggestion. I might even have some in the closet. Great idea. Lee Re: O.T.--Surgery advise Just my 2 cents - Emu oil is amazing at healing wounds and preventing scarring. Some people use it straight. I have made a salve with a few other oils with healing properties that I use. It works wonderful for burns too. I burned my fingers, applied the Emu salve immediately. It took the pain away and the next day you could not even tell they had been burned. Course depending upon the severeness of the burn, it could take a bit longer. A friend of mine gashed the fleshy part of his hand just under the thumb really bad. He probably should have gone to the Dr and gotten stitches, but didn't. He used the emu salve and it took a while but healed up faster than anything else he tried and no scarring. Anyway, these are just a couple examples. Emu oil penetrates deeply into the layers of the skin and can act as a carrier oil for other ingredients. I'm not sure if it will get to the bone, but it is said to reduce inflammation in muscles and joints. I have a grandson that races motocross and he uses it for his aches and pains, and to facilitate healing wounds or when he breaks any bones (luckily not too many really serious injuries so far ) HTH Gail > > > > Hi all, > > > > Yesterday I had surgery to remove screws in my hip from a fracture > last > > year.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I have the CS and I also have aloe in the back yard. Any instructions on how to mix it? The incision is not even 24 hours old yet so I am a little hesitant to apply it right away. It might be too painful to even open the bandage at this point. Sorry about bad typing. My right shoulder is also injured and I can't raise it now. Other than that I am reasonably okay. :-0 Would you mind posting on things one can do to for osteoporosis? Lee Re: O.T.--Surgery advise When a wound is still fresh you can accelerate healing by around a factor of five with topical colloidal silver and aloe vera; joining is speeded up enough that very little scar tissue is formed. I prefer the colloidal silver. You can't readily reach the bone with the colloidal silver, but you can reach it with a magnetic pulser; the small amount of current released isn't enough to feel but speeds healing and reduces bruising very well. It also kills infection and I've saved limbs with a magnetic pulser by clearing drug-resistant infection http://sotainstruments.com. Another thing that speeds healing and kills infection is ozone therapy. Those things might be out of reach for you but you a large magnet (south-seeking north face) will produce a healing effect that penetrates fairly deep.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Thanks Gail. I did decide to drive and buy some new Emu oil as I wasn't sure how old my bottle was. The bandage is going to be changed this afternoon so I will be able to see what it looks like and go from there. Thanks for the reassurance. Lee Re: O.T.--Surgery advise In my 5 yrs of experience with this oil and making my own salves, some with emu and some with other oils & herbs, I, nor any of the many other people that have used them, have ever had an incident of contamination or spreading infection. " Studies have suggested that emu oil is anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, encourages healing, stimulates skin growth, has a natural SPF, is a natural emollient and moisturizer, penetrates multiple layers of skin, is non-comedogenic, hypo-allergenic, prevents and diminishes scarring/stretch marks and more ... " There are also other oils, herbs and essential oils that contain anti-bacterial properties that could be used in making a salve. So I guess it might depend upon what is used in the make-up of the salve. But then again, not all Emu oil is equal so it pays to do some research before buying/using it. Just my add'l .02 Gail > > My .02 is that salves are notorious for contamination and spreading > infection. This is most apparent in burns.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Okay. The colloidal silver would be my choice then since I can spray it on. Thanks to all for the quick response. Lee Re: O.T.--Surgery advise You don't have to mix the CS and aloe; either one increases formation of granular tissue (first healing stage) by a factor of four or five. This leads to knitting of tissue with very little scar formation. Within 24 hours is especially good because it will speed that initial stage. I don't have a formula for mixing the two.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 No harm done. I have only used the CS. The scar almost looks healed already. The doc took a look and was surprised that everything had closed but advised to keep it covered for a week to make sure nothing got in. Then again he didn't expect me to walk into his office today either. :-) Lee Re: O.T.--Surgery advise My .02 is that salves are notorious for contamination and spreading infection. This is most apparent in burns. Emu oil sounds non-sterile. Duncan > > > > > > Hi all, > > > > > > Yesterday I had surgery to remove screws in my hip from a > fracture > > last > > > year.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Raw honey (untreated, unheated, unfiltered) was what was mentioned. Any raw honey should do. Keen Re: O.T.--Surgery advise I will try it. Was the kind of honey specified? I have tried CS, Aloe and Emu so far. This scar is going to have the best chance to heal of any scar I have had. :-) Thanks, Lee > > I read some research where they used raw honey to heal cuts from surgery > and it healed better and with less complications than anything else! > > Keen > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
