I have to share!!!

post #1 of 14
Thread Starter 
I know I`m preaching to the choir here, but I just have to share.

My dh is a type 1 diabetic, and has been having foot troubles. He`s been on his feet all summer and was working in mud up to his knees all day a few days ago. He came home with what looked to me like foot rot, like trench foot. Diabetics often die from heel cracks or bone breaks etc so he needs to take care of his feet.

Nothing was working and he was getting worried, so I asked him if I could rub some CO on them. I massaged the CO in and coated the actual deep bloody cracks (They were in the soft middle part of his foot, I`ve never seen that before) and covered them in a bandage.

This morning, his foot is completely healed! I mean not a single mark. Dh and I are totally blown away.

Fantastic! It must feel so wonderful to see it come together like that!

Oh, if only we could reach out to all Type 1s and give them back their lives!!!!
Dh has health like that of a robust child, ever since we switched to TF!

Make sure your dh is taking a good cod liver oil as well.
This will allow his body to heal well all the time!

Thanks for the tip!

My dh is blown away at how much weight he`s lost, how little insulin he needs and how much better he feels!

I put the CO and bandages on each foot right before he went to sleep last night, and his feet were completely smooth in the morning. It's hard to describe how deep and awful the cracks were, but they were REALLY bad.

I still can't believe it, I have asked to see his feet at least 5 times today!

I have really bad keratosis pilaris and react really bad to commercial skin creams. I have been making my own skin cream with CO and beeswax. It's so awesome and makes my skin feel and look great.

So I thought I'd go straight to the source for his feet, skip the cream and get as much concentrated goodness on those cracks as possible.

Wow! That is just amazing! You need to write in to the maker of the CO you buy- they might send you some free CO for such a glowing endorsement :0
