Wow, this article is amazing. Thank yo so much. I have been an insulin diabetic for 43 years and fortunately I have had no major issues. I will say, I work hard at control and exercise almost daily. I have not eaten an entire candy bar for 43 years. I can make a Snickers bar last for 2 weeks (when I have a craving I cut off a little piece and enjoy). Thank you for this information. I will save it in case I ever need it. When I was diagnosed, I told myself I came in with 4 limbs and I will go out with four limbs.
I recall back in the 1960's that Iodine tincture, Mercurochrome tincture and Merthiolate were readily available to treat minor cuts and abrasions from being infected. Then studies were released that they were harmful. Mercury was a component of Mercurochrome and Merthiolate. All were removed from the market place and fortunately, J & J was at the ready with J & J Antibiotic cream to take the place of the tinctures at a much higher cost. . Vaccine boys never got the message.
The question that comes to mind is if the bacteria are creating the biofilm, or is it the immune system doing it to prevent the spread of the infection. Since researchers have documented that the immune system will produce a biofilm called E-Cadherin to surround cancer cells and prevent metastasis, I suspect the biofilm is produced for the same purpose.
In turn, does biopsies of suspected cancer like growths accelerate cancer growth and should be banned? Do MRI breast examines have a downside that is ignored, when a self examination cloth will do just as well?
Wound centers in the US have become specialized profit centers, and simple treatment protocols will not help grow the business.
Very informative, well written and researched article. One of our office employees, who is a diabetic, lost a couple toes last year to what would normally have been a minor cut. I wonder if the outcome would have been different if the wound was treated differently. This is definitely one for my health articles library. Thank you Dr. Malone.
Interesting article. Insulin dependent diabetic since age 7 months (1954), I lost a toe due to an undetected infection then an adjacent second toe six months later after the first amputation "did not get all of the infection". Theory was the infection was in the bones. I have to wonder if my outcome would have been different if the treatment for either infection had been different.
I was told that diabetic foot issues are the number one cause of amputations in the US. Thinking back on the care process and reading this article, it makes sense that the "'solution" to my original problem was baked in from the start.
Bob, Many hours are spent reading and studying your writings. Is there a way you could issue Category 1 CME credits? This would be most helpful in addition to justifying the large number of hours invested. My thanks. MD, MBA, etc. etc. etc.
Thank you for this article, Dr Malone. My husband is a type II diabetic but is under control with metformin, diet and exercise. We watch his feet carefully and his left great toenail became loose, we think from wearing Wellington boots when the yard was wet. It has stopped growing although it appears to be attached at the sides again. He has gone to his podiatrist twice to have it examined at my insistence, but the podiatrist is not concerned. There is no redness or swelling. I did buy Curativa Bay HOCL for skin problems when you first wrote about it. I am going to try it on his toe just see if it helpful in restoring the growth of the nail.
BTW, I have neuropathy from a vaccine injury(Shingrix). I use DMSO to relieve the painful spasms associated with it. It’s amazing!
Thank you for this very informative essay. Have had two brushes with severe ulcerations. My mother in a nursing home developed bed sores. The first iteration was healed. The second and extremely painful never was. Then there was my horse. Got down in a blanket with severe damage of tissue on her withers. With beading and elase, we got it healed. I have to suspect HOCL would have helped in both instances.
For myself, with peripheral neuropathy, this suggests having close surveillance and HOCL at the ready is a valuable opportunity.
I've been a type 1 diabetic for going on 48 years. I don't touch any refined sugar and eat as healthy as I can, with thanks to you and Jill again, I recently had a small puncture in the bottom of my left foot and it has taken forever to heal and I worked harder than ever to accomplish that. I realize I could have used this product for that and am going to order some to keep on hand, just in case for any future injuries.

I have Neuropathy and am NOT diabetic, but this is relevant thanks

What a wonderful article for those who are diabetic or live with a diabetic. Thank you.
