What supp is good as a topical for skin wounds, scratches, sores, etc? I read about one but can't remember which. > What supp is good as a topical for skin wounds, scratches, sores, etc?

Years ago I had a couple of cysts removed from neck and face and took 1-2 grams of Vit C for a couple of weeks afterwards and there was no scarring. Ian Sunflower seed oil .. ? http://tinyurl.com/6axwp Acta Cirurgica Brasileira Print ISSN 0102-8650 Acta Cir. Bras. vol.19 no.3 So Paulo May/June 2004 The effects of topical application of sunflower-seed oil on open wound healing in lambs1 The present work showed by morphometrical, clinical and histological assays that sunflower-seed oil improved the granulation tissue formation and epithelial resurfacing of wounds. Therefore, sunflower-seed oil or other vegetable oils containing a high concentration of linoleic acid, can be indicated as a therapeutic alternative for wound healing process by second intention in veterinary medicine << Who loves ya.

Just thought that you might want to know. > What supp is good as a topical for skin wounds, scratches, sores, etc? I > read about one but can't remember which. The one that generally comes most recommended is vitamin E oil. It can be purchased in bottle form so you don't have to pop any gelcaps. Even better is Emu oil if you can find it. ;-) Castor oil (topical only!) is also excellent and you can use some plain old extra virgin olive oil in a pinch. HTH?  SignatureOm.

I use Oasis Lifesciences, Hilltop Gardens Aloe Gold from the Ewald plantation (oldest in America) it is cold pressed and concentrated. The polysaccharide fraction most beneficial for healing and repair is 50,000 to 100,000 daltons. Sun burn, scrapes, scratches, kitchen burns etc. I have used it for all of them and it really helps. > Neosporin claims to promote healing, and my subjective experience makes me > a > believer. > >> What supp is good as a topical for skin wounds, scratches, sores, etc? I >> read about one but can't remember which. Linoleic does speed up wound healing, due to its biochemical activity. However, it will promote nasty-looking scars because of this factor. You can see the evidence at pubmed.com. Do a search for arachidonic keliod, for example. The best thing is to get the arachidonic acid out or your body, but that would take at least 2 years on the right diet. You can use those silicon patches in the meantime to keep nasty scarring to a minimum. I had a nasty keliod on my shoulder that kept growing a little each year or so, but after I stopped eating foods high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, the keliod began to get smaller and also the redness lessened dramatically. This is actually a good "lesson" in the effects of different fatty acids on the body. It's too bad more people don't understand the connections, because if they did, we might be able to compel doctors to wise up, stop being dealers for BigPharma, and start doing their jobs again, which should involved thinking, not just going along with "the program." Recently, I asked my doctor a basic question about the salt (NaCl) molecule and he was totally stumped, for example. > Linoleic does speed up wound healing, due to its biochemical activity. > However, it will promote nasty-looking scars because of this factor.

It depends on the question being asked, not so much on the molecule.

I just love your reply. :) Natural health is about preventing lifestyle diseases, and little else. http://naturalhealthperspective.com/tutorials/definition.html Thus, when it comes to treating wounds the standard Western first aid kit comes to my mind. :) Personally, I perfer just cleaning the wound. And, leaving it exposed to fresh air without any bandaid in order to speed healing. Cover the wound with a cloth bandaid if it is likely to get dirty or bumped into. Use triple antibotic cream if it becomes score or infected. For chronic wounds, like shaving, I prefer applying clear aloe vera gel. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstra ct&list_uids=14517429&query_hl=5 > What supp is good as a topical for skin wounds, scratches, sores, etc?

I remember raw honey being exceptionally good at healing wounds that would otherwise not heal. They showed patients in some European hospitals with some large open wounds that looked really bad and did not heal. Once fresh raw honey (large amounts) was applied the wound healed almost miraculously. The before and after photographs were really impressive. I later read about Amazon Indians who relied on raw honey for wound healing too. My personal experimentation did not give any noticeable results. Perhaps the honey I was using was of poor quality and I was unable to determine whether it was raw or not.

I have available much more information @ http://debunkbigpharma.blognation.us/blog/Skin Dan Thanks to all for all these suggestions. None of them were the supp I read about which promotes scar healing and skin health. If someone finally lists it, I think I will remember. But I now have a few new ones to look into. | Arnica and Calendula ointments help for minor skin problems. | I have available much more information @ | http://debunkbigpharma.blognation.us/blog/Skin | | Dan |
