Subject: SCOBY and First Aid Question

 

I did a dumb thing on Thursday and ran to my car in the rain. That is not dumb,

but what happened next is. I did not clear the door as I opened it, so it

cleared ME. And the top corner of the door gouged my face from the left eye

socket to below the cheek bone.

I washed it right away and put salt onto my soapy wet face. Then I rinsed and

applied ice cubes for the next 2 hrs to keep the swelling down. Then I applied

Vitamin E and went to bed.

Friday there was puss in the wound, at least I think that is what it was. So I

repeated the dressing, but added clay to the salt that I applied to my wet,

soapy face and then put a scoby on top of that. I spent many hours of the rest

of the weekend doing these same things.

It is healing by leaps and bounds, so I am thrilled. My question is, should that

scoby be kept wet with KT to be effective? So far that is what I have done, but

it is quite hard to not be messy, so I was wondering if a dry scoby is just as

good. With its suction to my cheek, it does stay without assistance, even when

it dries. But I won't keep taking it off to re-wet it if I don't really have to.

And what does KT actually do to the skin? Does it detox and draw poisons out, or

does it put vitamins into the skin that assists and heals it?

Or does it do BOTH?

I don't want to get tetanus.

I have pretty much hated the medical profession as a whole for 40 years, and I

am smarter than the average bear. Get a tetanus shot. The negatives of such a

shot are insignificant if not non-existent compared with the potential negatives

of not getting such a shot.

First-- tetanus occurs in deep puncture wounds that aren't able to be

washed out adequately. That's why it's suggested to encourage deep

wounds to bleed. This doesn't sound like a deep wound. I'm not

discouraging being current on your tetanus booster, but I think alarmism

over injuries doesn't serve anyone.

Second-- I've used Scobies for first aid on many occasions. I've also

used them in different forms for various types of healing, and I've used

strips/thin layers to bandage and poultice wounds. In the case of a

wound, the KT disinfects with its acetic acid-- the vinegar component.

Vinegar is an excellent disinfectant. Then, the probiotic bacteria in

the KT and SCOBY fight off disease-causing bacteria and allow the

tissues to heal. And, the SCOBY tissue itself, which is built by the

bacteria and is made of cellulose-- like lettuce and all vegetable

matter is-- serves as a barrier, emollient, and again, has healing

powers of its own.

In addition, the synergistic effects of the KT have healing powers that

aren't even understood by examining the individual components.

Synergistic means the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Definitely don't pull off the SCOBY if you're healing well. What I've

done is just apply some KT to the surface of the SCOBY to remoisten.

Just smooth on a few drops as needed.

You lost me. I don't know what you recommend. I need more info.

My wound has been noticeably shrinking daily and is not inflamed. It is short

and a scab has even formed today. There is still redness there, but it does not

hurt. I have clay, salt and a scoby on my face right now for my evening

treatment. My left eye has been watery for two days from the build-up of fumes

of the KT vinegar. I figure that is not a bad thing, but it sure is

uncomfortable. I don't swim, so I don't have goggles, or I would put them on.

For the record--and thanks to you all who have shared in helping me with my

injury questions--I am not at all inclined to get a tetanus shot. I have gotten

cut by dirty metal before and the first fearful thot at that time was to get a

shot. But I didn't and did not have a bad result beyond the healing of the

injury, so I don't think it is necessary. I am in alot better health today than

when I injured myself then, so feel I am in a much better place anyway. So if I

get it now, I have lots of things to do to help myself.

Lyn,

If your wound is healing nicely, I'd skip the KT/SCOBY treatment.

Irritating your eye with fumes could make it susceptible to an infection

of its own. Remember--all medical treatment should follow Hippocrates

adage of: " First Don No Harm. "

[Guest guest]

Wellllll....I did some research on it awhile back, and don't recall all of it,

but you could google natural remedies for tetanus and weed out the " med " sites

to get to some good info. Off the top of my head tetanus is an infection, so in

my limited knowledge of herbs I would use Echinacea and Goldenseal for starters.

Antispasmodic herbs are: Black Cohosh, Catnip, Cayenne, Fennel, Hops, Lobelia

***, Passionflower, Scullcap, Valerian Root, Wood Betony.

I would always with any sickness or infection do high dose Vitamin C (until

saturation and then slowly reduce amount) They key with Vit C is to slowly

reduce the amount over a few days, or one can get a relapse.

These of course are western herbs. I have heard of a homeopathic (I think it is

Ledum) that one can take during infection, or also as a preventative in lieu of

a vaccine.

There are many good eastern herbs that may well be even better, but they are not

in my knowledge as of yet.

 

Hope that helps!

Hi Lyn,

How is your wound healing up? I think that putting a SCOBY on it was a brilliant

idea.

However, I did some research on tetanus and the shots. I learned that the first

symptom of tetanus to appear is muscle pain and spasms around the jaw. Also,

muscle spasms and soreness around the injury. Go to the hospital right away. If

it progresses to other parts of the body, call an ambulance. If it gets to your

vocal cords, you need to be put on a respirator to stay alive. If none of this

has happened to you by now, you are ok.

Even with medical help, generalized tetanus is 25-50% fatal. Cephalic tetanus is

even more fatal. So, there is a good reason doctors want us to get our tetanus

shots.

Nowadays, in the US, they give triple shots, tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis.

I guess all these serious diseases are difficult to treat once started. The

current formulation of the shot contains inactivated bacteria, which cannot give

you the disease. But it can give you a serious allergic reaction, although the

vast majority of people don't have this happen.

Myself, even if I avoided doctors and hospitals for every other aspect of my

life, I would go get a tetanus shot after an injury. And I do. The last time, I

was handling a shipment of handmade rugs from Afghanistan, made of handspun

wool, and a staple punctured my thumb. Probably not a big deal, but weavers who

weave with handspun wool keep their tetanus shots active, because the tetanus

bacteria reside in untreated wool, so I went to the health department the next

day.

After all of that, I still think putting a SCOBY on your wound was brilliant. I

would think that the SCOBY would be a strong disinfectant, and if applied

immediately, would stop all kinds of infections in their tracks.

Is the SCOBY helping with the scar?

To your health,

Olivia

My wound is better with each passing day. I didn't put a scoby on it today or

yesterday because I wanted to just focus on vitamin E. It has been at the

scarring/scabbing stage for the last 5 days, so I want to just focus on E now. I

did get a stronger E, tho. Just to be sure that scar disappears. I have Cococare

28,000 IU that I started using today. I did not know I could get a stronger E

until I looked online this week. I have already been using Cococare 14,000 IU.

So when I saw a stronger E, I bought it. But that scare keeps getting smaller

and shorter every day. I think once the scab is all gone, it will go fast.

It is amusing to me that the scab is white. I always knew scabs to be brown, I

suppose the color of blood. I would say that I did well to clean that out with

what I did every day; washing, hydrated clay, salt, Vit E and the scoby.

I don't have any idea if a scoby would make a scar disappear, so I leaned toward

it not being useful once the wound was closed for a couple days. I am still

washing it twice a day, but only apply E now.

Scobies make scars go away. As I say in the " Kombucha Cream " file on

the website, I used kombucha cream to dissolve skin growths I had on my

nose. They had been diagnosed as benign and some of them had been

removed by a plastic surgeon with no scarring. I used the kombucha

cream on them, and they dissolved the small growths. Once the growth

had dissolved a little past the surface of the surrounding skin, just

like the plastic surgeon's incisions had been, I stopped using the cream

(more intense) and went to just using a thin bit of scoby as a bandage.

The growths stopped dissolving and the skin started healing. No

scarring. That was years ago, no scarring.
