One problem of diabetes are sores that take a long time to heal or do not heal at all. One of the symptoms of diabetes is the breakdown of muscle and fat. This is one reason sores often heal slowly or not at all, due to the body breaking down from the stress of diabetes.

The body usually heals sores and other wounds using antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances that repair and heal the body. One problem with sores that do not heal may be that antioxidants are not sufficient or there are circulation problems making it difficult for antioxidants to get to the wound.

Dr. Bob is mentioned on this web site many times. He was a M.D. internal medicine, orthomolecular doctor, M.D. psychiatrist, chiropractor, and healer 65 years. He was a diabetic who lived to 108 years with only 1 side effect 2 years before he passed away. Dr. Bob treated diabetics over 50 years. He developed a topical treatment for diabetic sores in order to get around the problem of antioxidants not getting delivered in sufficient amounts to heal wounds due to the stress of diabetes. The topical method allows antioxidants to be applied right at the wound. Read other articles on this web site to see how balancing hormones, improving circulation, improving the pancreas and digestion, and other ideas will counter balance the breaking down of the body in diabetes, and use this topical method in conjunction with other ideas.

The following is Dr. Bob's topical method for sores that do not heal and any other kind of wound:

1. Use tea tree oil. This can be found at health food stores. Dr. Bob said in his 7 decades of the healing arts, he found tea tree oil was the most effective and fastest working ointment for wounds

2. Use vitamin E oil. It is an antioxidant and can be used in conjunction with tea tree oil.

3. Use Ascorbyl palmitate, fat soluble vitamin C, 1 capsule. Fat-soluble vitamin C needs to be used with tea tree oil and vitamin E oil. Water-soluble vitamin C will not work as well in oil bases. Break open the capsule and mix the powder with the other ingredients.

4. Use 50 mg of Pycnogenol. It is an antioxidant. Break open the capsule and mix the powder with other ingredients.

5. Use apricot oil. This helps heal skin conditions and is often already found in vitamin E oils.

6. Use a blend of refrigerated omega 3 and omega 6 oils.

Mix the vitamin C and Pycnogenol powders into the oils and stir until everything is evenly mixed. Apply to the wound several times a day.

In conclusion, topical methods can sometimes provide the body with antioxidants. In diabetes, sometimes wounds do not heal well. One reason may be that the bloodstream cannot deliver the antioxidants needed to heal the wounds, due to the stress of diabetes. Topical methods are a way to deliver antioxidants to the wound.

WARNING - Some sores that do not heal indicate possibility of cancer. Have this checked out by a doctor.

Note – In order for these anti-aging ideas to be successful, you must use supplements of the highest quality. Dr. Bob often said, "almost all supplement companies produce poor quality." You can consider the product page of this web site. Almost all the products met Dr. Bob’s approval. Since he passed away we have attempted to keep the same high standards.

WARNING:  DO NOT STOP ANY TREATMENT OR MEDICATION YOU CURRENTLY USE.  CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING THE USE OF SUPPLEMENTS.
