Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2007New treatment could save legs from amputation
http://tinyurl.com/yw7293 (excerpt) SYDNEY (AFP) - Australian researchers Wednesday said they had developed a world-first treatment which could save hundreds of thousands of smokers and diabetics from undergoing leg amputations. The procedure involves pumping blood at high pressure into limbs dying of vascular disease to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels, the researchers said, and has saved the leg of the first patient to be treated. "This is a significant advance for the 340,000 patients in the Western world who lose a leg to surgical amputation every year due to peripheral vascular disease," said inventor and vascular surgeon Rodney Lane. >http://tinyurl.com/yw7293 > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >peripheral vascular disease," said inventor and vascular surgeon >Rodney Lane. This may be applicable to the normal cases where circulation is the problem. It is the most difficult to deal with. The micro circulation is where to leg gets as dark appearance. Before there used to the use of high pressure Oxygen but I rarely saw it used. A case like mine was Osteomylitis (bone infection). It is a bacterial infection. You have to be exposed to this pathogen and poor circulation may be a factor. Medical facilities are great places to be exposed. The proper treatment of an foot or leg lesion is a proper thing to do. I think my entry point was a fungus lesion in my big toe. Nearing ten years in a wheel chair make me think the prompt treatment of any lower limb is good medicine. Not all docs practice it. Any questions--- get a second opinion promptly.NOW. Get rid of a doc that says a fungal infection is minor. There are effective drugs for this problem. Guy > A case like mine was Osteomylitis (bone infection). It > is a bacterial infection. You have to be exposed to this pathogen > and poor circulation may be a factor. Hi Guy, Also, a week or two ago, there was a series of posts about persistent drug resistant staph infections that went to bone... and which led to amputations and deaths.... These sorts of infections are on the upswing. Just ask Michelle C. of our group. Will, T2 >> A case like mine was Osteomylitis (bone infection). It >> is a bacterial infection.

People I know place,e a lot of it on poor conduct of medical personnel. When I was young, when a person developed pneumonia you prepared for the funeral. The Uncle I thought a was great died this way in 1937. I watched the weeks in an oxygen tent, on and on. DR Fleming's discovery and WW2--- to prompt development really changed things, You should research the history. Then it was found some reduction in the effectiveness of some drugs. I saw a busiess report on a company that claims they have an item that twart the transfer of resistance which happen fromr bacteria to bacteria. We will see. I just was on an IV for two weeks to administer a new antibiotic that cannot be used orally. A young urologist found the bladder infection that others had overlooked. Using a catherer for two weeks is not nice. I see others that could inform us about much more if the groups went to the proper mode. Guy. > When I was young, when a person developed pneumonia you > prepared for the funeral. Pneumonia.... I do know about that, Guy. It is horrible, beyond belief. I had something of a case of that for about six weeks, from mid May, until after July 4. I could hardly breathe.... Will, T2 >I see others that could inform us about much more if >the groups went to the proper mode. What would that be?

People who lived through those times are EXTREMELY strong, they must have the most amazing immune systems. My grandmother was born in 1902, so just turned 105 this month.

Thanks for sharing the details of your unfortunate ordeal and pointing to the warning signs. It may well save others a lot of grief down the road.

It is almost wholly thanks to Guy's writings that I decided to tackle those infections very diligently. By daily application of a miniscule of anti-fungal cream to both my feet, I now rarely get an outbreak. The outbreaks may start off as small brown raised spots, but they soon develop into ugly masses, and no doubt would become quite dangerous sores. Henry Mydlarz. I get something similar, Henry, except mine sometimes seem purplish... I spray both feet each day, and that keeps the fungus away.

A doc treating diabetes should have one. It is a ultraviolet lamp and fungus in a wound will glow a identifiable color. I had small persisant wounds on my legs The woods lamp showed a glow around the edges of the wound. The proper use of a drug like Sporonax started a normal healing process. These drugs are prescription and should be controlled. Unfortunately the limb loss process was well under way. Today, my remain limb is almost normal. It was the one I was expected to lose. The doc was obsessed with microcirculatoion which was probably not an issue in my case. Diabetes--micro circulation. One reason I am so cynical. I always say pick a GOOD doc. MIcorcirculstion is important and is what Kurt was coverng. I ave no experience there except a misdiagnosis.. When the damage is done it is done. Quite a few here know what a wheel chair feels like. Hurt feeling I will take any day if I had a choice. Thank you for being here. Guy >MIcorcirculstion is important and is what Kurt was coverng. >I ave no experience there except a misdiagnosis.. Kurt didn't cover anything; he posted a link. The TV report here was very interesting and positive, with interviews with patients who were thrilled at the response and improvement. The treatment is very promising and looks effective - but they agree that it is still in the early stages of assessment.

A few years from now if your legs ache and feel tired it may a micro circulation problem. It is where the limbs small blood vessels start to close. and the cells lose their "food supply" They start to die. As of now there is no real remedy. Watched a good friend lost a finger, then another and then finally his legs Then Chung's god showed him some mercy and he died in his sleep. Up to the end, he was building his mobility items, Crawling around on his stubs and limited use of his hands. He was a T2 but there is no way to determine what role it played Some limb parts were very black. Many surgery interventions, This post/link is so important Much more important that some cock mannie diet which the stomach reduces to slop to be absorbed in the intestine.

Heading it off before it happens with diet and excercise, and meds if need be, goes a long way though. >Watched a good friend lost a finger, then another and then finally >his legs Then Chung's god showed him some mercy > and he died in his sleep. Hopefully, we all die in our sleep after a long life. >Up to the end, he was building his mobility items, >Crawling around on his stubs and limited use of his > hands. That's very sad. >He was a T2 but there is no way to determine what role >it played If it was before meters, and some common sense dietary guidelines that we now know, we can pretty much guess it played a large role. >Some limb parts were very black. Many surgery interventions, That had to be horrible for him. >This post/link is so important I agree the link is important. >Much more important that some cock mannie >diet which the stomach reduces to slop to be >absorbed in the intestine. Total disagreement there. The proper *cockamamie diet* would no doubt have warded off some of the problems before they started. I don't understand why you are so down on people controlling diabetes with food plans that work, excercise, and meds if needed. Those things are important too. >People with no real world experience tend to >nit pick or jump on Chung as entertainment >Not good traits. People with lots of real world experience tend to nit pick or jump on Chung as well. Sometimes, when bad information is being given, they can be very good traits. There is lots of good information in this group, but you seem to be the major nit picker these days. I can only conclude that you're not feeling well, and just generally cranky. I hope you feel better soon. Take care. Cheri >guys@consolidated.net wrote in message ... > >>What is the difference. you love to dominate >> too much. > >As they say in your part of the country, you're acting quite ugly guy. Thank you for being so nice to me. Yes, I am being very nasty. I think it as proper as those demand they be believed when their info comes from????" These groups were established with a very different goal. As I look back, I see where the bull has harmed me so much. If I want to gossip and show off I would pick the proper forum. There is a time and place for everything. There is no place here for uninformed speculation. Diabetes is range of diseases. The best have a limited comprehension of it. I have went a long way to be nice here. To play village idiot. That is proper. Today, I am very pissed. a doc that has not done his job HE finally accused me of not providing him with the proper samples and improperly prepared samples. It never occurred to him that was his job and he was well paid to do what he failed to do. It is enough to piss off a saint. Some jhere demand we accept their plausible answers as the truth. Hey gang, you are dealing with the health of others. Thanks again, >Hey gang, you are dealing with the health of others. > >Thanks again, Good and important point. I am very aware that it applies to me, and I take care to try to warn people that I am a patient, not a doctor. It also applies to you.

The point of these post are intended to offend a few. Yes pick you doc carefully. To be honest with you, I do have incidents. Just set calmly for a while. I did mow one acre yesterday. Today rain,a lot of rain At of good people here. We do agree to disagree but we do learn. The big decision the carbs in the mouth or the garbage can. > Will, the best way to identify fungus is a Woods Lamp. > A doc treating diabetes should have one. Thanks for the info, Guy... I already know what it is, though, because it has been diagnosed. I have been prescribed various antifungal lotions and creams. Right now, for maintenance, a simple over the counter daily foot spray seems to be working best. You may remember I once even tried vaginal cream, at the suggestion of some of the very kind ladies of asd.
