How Diabetic Ulcer Forms

Diabetic ulcers are commonly called non-healing wounds. In a natural person, a wound easily heals because of the body’s self healing properties. In a diabetic patient, this capacity is reduced or broken down. This is partly caused by vascoconstriction. This happens when arteries shrink and blood cannot reach the diabetic ulcer.  Allopathic health professionals have antibacterial drugs but nothing for improving diabetic ulcers. In diabetic ulcer patient, the blood flow (vasculization) becomes minimum and the regeneration of the granulation tissues is impaired.

Long term diabetic patients may develop neuropathy, a reduced or complete lack of feeling in areas due to nerve damage. It is the result of nerve damage caused by elevated blood glucose levels over time. The nerve damage can occur without pain and one may not be aware of the problem. When the skin is traumatized, poor circulation and poor wound healing capacity would soon cause the affected areas to develop into diabetic ulcers. Vascular disease further aggravates the problem reducing the body’s capacity to heal and increase the risk of infection. A weak lung condition may further aggravate the problem because a reduced oxygen supply makes it difficult for diabetic ulcers to heal properly.

Treatment for Diabetic Ulcers

The primary goal of treating diabetic ulcers is to try to improve the healing as soon as possible. A good holistic method to treat diabetic ulcers involves having a holistic product and improved lifestyle.

Hygienic life style

• take steps to prevent infection
• taking the pressure off the affected area
• removing dead skin and tissue
• exercise proper hygiene e.g.. if sole is affected then use plastic shoes to go to toilet
• manage blood glucose levels
• strengthen lungs so as to increase oxygen intake.
• use a holistic product to treat the wound

A holistic product to treat diabetic ulcers must have the following functions

• it must have antibacterial function
• it must have antitoxin properties to neutralize whatever poison produced by infection
• it must have antipruritic functions to stop the itch immediately
• it must have antiexudate properties – i.e. preventing exudates (the clear liquid) from flowing
• it must have improved localized blood circulation function to improve cell regeneration
• it must have tissue regeneration function to prevent ulcer from being infected
• it must have improved blood circulation function to supply oxygen to wound area

1) The excellent antibacterial function and antitoxin effect quickly neutralize the work of bacteria.

2) The product must raise the blood flow (bringing nutrients and oxygen) and makes the wound fresh.

3) It's excellent tissue and cellular regeneration properties quickly repair the damage tissue.

4) Eventually the wound dries and scab is formed.

The above wound had not healed for 2 months (9th August 2004). This person's skin was dead. After an operation to remove the dead skin, it had not healed at all for 2 months (Picture 1).  The subsequent pictures shows the normal process/sequence of a diabetic wound healing process. This is how non-healing diabetic ulcers should heal if properly treated.
The science of diabetic ulcer care has advanced tremendously over the past 30 years. The old school of thought of “let the air get at it” is thought to be harmful to healing. When allopathic science does not have excellent diabetic ulcer healing products, the recommendation was to "keep it covered and moist". But this is very damaging because each time the bandage is removed it makes another tear on the diabetic ulcer that is trying to heal. With a holistic diabetic ulcer healing herbal product, the wound can be left open to allow the diabetic ulcer to heal and dry naturally. The only caution is to ensure that insects like flies do not land on the wound.

Prevention:

The best and most effective way to treat diabetic ulcers is to prevent it in the first place. Using chemical methods to lower blood sugar is a reason why diabetic patients develop.

• Neuropathy
• Retinopathy
• Poor circulation
• Other diabetic complications like organ damage by drugs

The key to prevent the development of diabetic ulcers problems is to use a holistic approach to treat the disease

• Lower and control sugar levels
• Nourish nerves and blood vessels
• Strengthen kidney, liver, pancreas, spleen and bladder
• Improve blood circulation

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
