Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / March 2005wound on my hand
I have a wound on my hand that I got 3.5 months ago. It's not healing very well. Can someone recommend something I can take to help it heal better? Thanks. >I have a wound on my hand that I got 3.5 months ago. It's not healing > very well. Can someone recommend something I can take to help it heal > better? A visit to your doctor would be in order. We can't examine the wound. In addition, other conditions, like diabetes, which affects wound healing, come to mind. Let your doctor who can examine you, get your medical history and order the appropriate tests help you. Jeff > Thanks. Vitamin C. 1000 mgs. Take anywhere from 2 to 5 or more, 3 or 4 times a day. If you get the runs or stomach upset, you've taken too much, cut back a bit. Get tested for diabetes, now! If you show up as insulin resistant or diabetic, get a copy of Dr Bernsteins Diabetes Solution book and read it from cover to cover. TC > I have a wound on my hand that I got 3.5 months ago.

She'll take care of the symptom for sure. By all > means go. Considering that we can't see her wound, feel her pulse, get her medical history, do lab tests or otherwise examine her over the internet, she is much better off going to a doctor than listening to some guy on the internet who tells her to take vitamin C. Jeff > TC Today's doctors aren't exactly curing the world of diseases, now, are they? Diabetes and heart disease are increasing rapidly while they "treat" us to the tune of billions in prescriptions and treatments per year and we seem to be getting sicker. People are dying of diabetes-related complications on the American Diabetes Association diet. Their website clearly states that they do not know what precisely causes diabetes, but they are more than prepared to presume to treat you with blood glucose test kits, drugs and a high carb diet while you get sicker and sicker. Doctors have less than a couple of months worth of training in nutrition, if they have that much. Doctors are primarily trained to prescribe drugs and treatments, not to actually seek to resolve health problems. I figure you stand at least an equal (or possibly better) chance of resolving medical issues listening to this guy on the internet who tells her to take vitamins C as you do seeing a modern day medical doctor. Kinda sad, really.

Please provide a better alternative, other than people eating less and getting less excercise. The reality of the matter is that people are making themselves sick. > People are dying of diabetes-related complications on the American > Diabetes Association diet. Can you provide evidence of this? I mean that they are actually following the diet. > Their website clearly states that they do > not know what precisely causes diabetes, but they are more than > prepared to presume to treat you with blood glucose test kits, drugs > and a high carb diet while you get sicker and sicker. We do know what causes most cases of diabetes: eating too much and not getting enough excercise, for most cases. I did not know that blood glucose test kits are used to treat people. I thought they were so that you can montior your own treatments. And most docs don't recommend a high carb diet for diabetes. The fact of the matter is that most people who are diabetic (type ii) are too fat, don't excercise and don't follow their diets.I > Doctors have less than a couple of months worth of training in > nutrition, if they have that much. Doctors are primarily trained to > prescribe drugs and treatments, not to actually seek to resolve health > problems. Actually, doctors do try to resolve health problems. They recommend healthy diets, and their treatments do work. Their treatments are not perfect. > I figure you stand at least an equal (or possibly better) chance of > resolving medical issues listening to this guy on the internet who > tells her to take vitamins C as you do seeing a modern day medical > doctor.

We can't examine her, we don't know her medical history, and we can't order lab tests. And poor would healing is a sign of diabetes. A doctor is the best bet. Jeff Take you rown advice and don't give advice on the Internet. Don't tell me you can't see the irony in that. Sorry about the name calling. Just getting your attention > > Exactly.

Just getting your attention Over here, telling people to avoid doctors is rather illegal and you may be sued for that. On the other hand, advising people to visit a doctor is the only legal advice you are allowed to give unless you are a doctor yourself and has the license. (We have selfdiagnosing web-pages!!) Balanced amino acids and Vit C. Focus on the Growth Hormone releasing aminos more, like arginine and ornithine. Don't let people fool you with protein. It is not the same thing at all. Get the "free form amino acids" > I have a wound on my hand that I got 3.5 months ago. It's not healing > very well.

The name of the group is sci.med.nutrition (short for science.medicine.nutrition), not stupid.advice. Jeff Don't be sore now. That was another thread > > Balanced amino acids and Vit C. > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Jeff > > Balanced amino acids and Vit C. > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Jeff Everybody is just guessing here which is why it is more accurate to wait for the autopsy for a definitive diagnosis. > ornithine.

"Can someone recommend something I can take to help it heal better? " . I'm not a physician so I can't dispense medical advise *BUT* I can tell you that years ago the sap from the balsam tree was used to heal wounds. It sometimes healed them too well as deeper wounds would heal over and not be able to drain. The sap was marketed as "Canada Balsam" I remember reading about grape seed extract having healing properties in this context, if you're just looking to try different "herbal" kinds of things for the hell of it. Sounds like it might be a sign of something more serious, as someone mentioned above.
