JIM ROBINSON JUST WROTE:
Howdy everyone!!
Call off the search party, I’ve escaped!! Had a pretty good session today. They did some aggressive debriding of the wound, which isn’t fun but they say it has to be done, and they started some tests to see if I will be a good candidate for synthetic skin grafts. Will have another test next week, then we can decide on the grafts. If they work, this thing can be healed up in about three or four more visits. But they’ve got to ensure that I have enough blood flow to the foot first. My pulse is very weak down there. Here’s hoping.

I’m glad you saw this, so I am giving further information about the uses of Vitamins E and C. Vitamin E causes relaxation of the blood vessels, thereby allowing more blood to flow into the extremities. It also lowers blood pressure, so one should start by taking 100 IU of natural E for 3 or 4 days, then 200 IU, same schedule, and build by 100s to the 400 level. This will prevent a too sudden relaxation of the blood vessels leading to dizzyness or fainting. Vitamin C and E are also essential for the formation of new tissue, ie, healing tissue.
Regarding Vitamin C, the body excretes it in 4 to 6 hours which is why I recommended 4 times a day. Personal doses vary, so you will have to experiment with doses. Could be 250 mg, 500 mg. or 1,000 mgs 4 times per day. Personally, I have a number of allergies respiratory allergies, so I take 2,000 in the morning, 500 once or twice during the day when my nose gets stuffed up, and 1,000 at bedtime using the more expensive “sustained release” type tablet. An excess can cause burning urination, or acid farts. In that case step back the dosage.
An interesting study on monkeys involved placing two group of monkeys in 0 degrees f. temperature for a number of hours hours. One group was given extra Vitamin C, the other was not. All the no extra C monkeys had frozen tails. Only a few of the C supplement monkeys had frozen tails. Thus it appears that the C really increased blood circulation in their tails.
On the political front, I just heard (radio) that the US Government is trying to require all new Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements to be tested and approved before being released to the public. This will be a big advantage to Big Pharma, as it will be harder for us citizens to take responsibility for our own health. Something like 38 years ago I testified at the Hosmer Hearings when a bill trying to convert the legal status of supplements to a more regulated state took place. I and most others testified on behalf of the freedom of citizens to monitor their own nutrient intake. It was a hugely attended hearing, and we won. It also united all political groups from far left to far right. I now have to find more details about the exact status of this measure—established or still under consideration. I should add that in all these years of taking supplements I have never suffered the chronic ills that bedeviled my parents—that is until I got them on the right nutrients for their specific health needs.
Good luck with your healing crisis. Feel free to Private Message me if you would like additional suggestions. PS: Honey spread on an open sore is anti-infective and for some healing.
