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.
vaccines we blame - grand daughter type 1 at 12 years old - no family history, she is now 17
and on the Pump, fast pitch softball sometimes has 6 practices a week, we are in between school and clubs, she walks 4 miles and goes to the gym. Club practice and tournaments are about to fire up, for summer games, then try-outs for 18U end of July then fall games.and 3.8 GPA or better to play !
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!
I used DMSO 40 years ago to treat a pulled hamstring. I was desperate because I knew how long a damaged hamstring takes to heal. I kid you not, that hamstring injury was gone by the end of that week. To me it was miraculous.
My friends laugh when I tell this story. I laugh right along with them. But I know the truth.
A 1967 Time article, reporting how PDQ the FDA halted the use of DMSO, when they found it was helping patients. I'm a newbie to DMSO and HOCL but both are now are in my cupboard, thanks to Doc Malone, and other Truth Tellers.
Back in the 60s I was a young nurse and knew athletes were using it to heal injuries. Then rumors started that DMSO might not be safe and it dropped out of sight. A Midwestern Doctor started writing about it, and now my husband and use it for our muscles pain
and other problems as well as my neuropathy. I believe it worked quickly for you because it does for us.
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.
Someone told me about med beds years ago. I don't believe it but I guarantee if such a thing exists, or will ever exist, we will never see them. They would only be owned and used by the ultra wealthy or those in positions of power.
And that has probably been the case heretofore. However, our galactic friends have given the technology for all of humankind, and we will all have access. Soon.
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.
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.
Just reading the responses from a variety of people with diabetic and other wounds, this article should be read by Everyone. Why such a safe, inexpensive treatment is not more widely known is not a mystery to me. It must pain you for the time and energy spent on this article, to know it could have helped so many. Better late than never, as they say. I use the spray daily and for my cats. I have to educate myself on more uses, since this is new to me. I am very excited about this product!
DD, I believe you missed his point. To know why one product gains traction and another doesn't one must follow the money. Yes, different treatments for different illnesses, but the same reason they weren't adopted. ($$$)
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.

Attorney General Paxton Takes Legal Action as Part of Sweeping Investigation into Corporate Giants, Including Bayer, for Poisoning Texans through Glyphosate Contamination in Food
AUSTIN – Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced his sweeping investigation to tackle the major issue of glyphosate residue in food that puts America’s health and children at risk. This announcement comes after Attorney General Paxton’s office issued Civil Investigative Demands (“CIDs”) to major pesticide and food manufacturers, including Bayer and PepsiCo.
Glyphosate is the main ingredient in Roundup weed killer. It is a widely-used herbicide that is applied on genetically engineered crops. In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer determined that glyphosate is a probable human carcinogen. Since then, extensive human and animal research has shown that glyphosate contributes to endocrine disruption, infertility, kidney disease, and autoimmune diseases, in addition to its cancer-causing properties. More than 250 million pounds of glyphosate are sprayed in the United States each year. Research has found that over 70 percent of Americans adults have detectable traces of glyphosate in their bodies compared to a mere 12 percent in 1993.
Scientists attribute much of this dramatic increase to the widespread use of glyphosate as a desiccant. Desiccation is the practice of applying herbicides like Roundup to crops shortly before harvest so that they dry down uniformly. This practice contributes to over 90% of the glyphosate found in food, particularly in food products containing oats. Although the EPA prohibits the use of glyphosate as a desiccant on oats in the United States, major food companies source their oats from foreign countries where the practice is allowed. Oats are widely found in cereals, breakfast bars, and cookies, which make children particularly vulnerable to glyphosate’s harms. In fact, studies show that certain food products marketed to children are some of the most glyphosate-contaminated food products in the United States. Other products are marketed as “healthy” when manufacturers know their products are contaminated with dangerously high levels of glyphosate. Research further indicates that children between the ages of one- and two-years-old have the highest dietary exposure to glyphosate of any population.
“If any corporation is using regulatory loopholes to poison our kids with glyphosate, we will find out and we will secure justice,” said Attorney General Paxton. “My office is also investigating whether major food companies are complying with Texas law and whether consumers, especially parents, have been misled about the health claims of common food products marketed to their families. No corporation is above the law, and no illegal action will go unpunished.
Two bay leaves under your arches, tucked inside your socks while you sleep. Start this while your feet and skin are healthy. The treatment is preventive, or for slight swelling and skin irritations.
Wet the skin with DMSO first. Or better yet Sri Lanka Plant (lantana camara). It is the euphane lactone triterpines that refresh your feet by morning. This also helps you sleep soundly.
Fascinating article Robert.
I find it helpful in so many ways.
I am not a doctor - I just get confused about what I think I know.
I have used HOCL for many years with good impact. It's not a miracle, but its solid, it has no downside that I can see. Very nice to spray on the face, inside the nose, and in the eyes without any sense of stinging or discomfort. I am told you can nebulize it as well, and put it in a diffuser in the bedroom. That said, I am also a big fan of silver. I would try HOCL, and move to silver if needed.
Family member just used silver to treat a wound on his pup’s chin. Have to say that the change in only 24 hours was nothing short of miraculous. Three days, essentially healed.
The convenience of antibiotics brushed aside many useful treatments. My go-to solution for the UTIs I've always been prone to is Uva Ursi, which was actually in the U.S. Pharmacopeia until antibiotics took over. Ironically, the proponents of most 'home-treatment' regimens for UTI have never even heard of it (probably because it was formerly doctor-prescribed).
But it is less convenient than antibiotics. To be most effective, the diet needs to be alkaline for the duration. In tea form, it doesn't taste that great (I take capsules). And it's easier to OD on. And sometimes it isn't enough for a particularly determined infection. Still, it works well enough to minimize the number of times I have to take antibiotics for a UTI.
Are you acquainted with newer prevention techniques for UTI's, e.g. estradiol applied in the vagina, d-mannose, plus a few meds such as low-dose antibiotics used prophylactically? Works well for someone I know.
I don’t know if this is common knowledge, but I was told at a very young age that when you urinate and the flow ends, there’s always a little more. i’ve later come to realize that this is probably the amount in the tract that needs to be cleared out each time.

I said we blame vaccines = child hood vaccines = we were not going to fall for the
COVID JAB !!! we all got it and had no problems, had worse colds ! I was 76

Thomas, Iodine, Mercurochrome and Merthiolate were an ongoing part of my childhood! Standard treatment for most anything. I survived anyway!

I just call him HERO.

Hydroxychloroquine is a safe and inexpensive treatment for Covid.
And we all know of the diabolical efforts (and successes) of blocking its use.
Sorry if I misunderstood.
This isn't the same product at all! HOCI or also known as Hypochlorous acid. Big difference.
DD, I believe you missed his point. To know why one product gains traction and another doesn't one must follow the money. Yes, different treatments for different illnesses, but the same reason they weren't adopted. ($$$)
What a wonderful article for those who are diabetic or live with a diabetic. Thank you.
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.

Such as off the shelf breakfast cereals made from grains
I thought they changed the chemical in Roundup used by home owners.
Same warnings I believe
It sounds like it might alsobe good for toenail fungus.
Two bay leaves under your arches, tucked inside your socks while you sleep. Start this while your feet and skin are healthy. The treatment is preventive, or for slight swelling and skin irritations.
Wet the skin with DMSO first. Or better yet Sri Lanka Plant (lantana camara). It is the euphane lactone triterpines that refresh your feet by morning. This also helps you sleep soundly.

I've heard of d-mannose, but it did not seem suited to my situation. Definitely don't want to use low-dose antibiotics.
I don’t know if this is common knowledge, but I was told at a very young age that when you urinate and the flow ends, there’s always a little more. i’ve later come to realize that this is probably the amount in the tract that needs to be cleared out each time.
