No blood the tissue dies. I do know that gangrene, as caused by bacteria, was treated during the first war with garlic and the second with sulfa drugs. A garlic paste may help along with hot/cold therapy. Of course an mud pack or clay pack could be of use as well. -- Peace be with you, Don " Quai " Eitner " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Gangarene, also called mortification, is dead necrotic tissue and usually gets incised (cut away) by someone who knows what he or she is doing and has a sterile enviroment to do so. In ditch medicine taught in military survival schools there is a procedure for allowing flies to do that for you but I won't freak everyone out with detailed descriptions of that process, let's just say maggots eat dead meat before they eat live flesh but you have to pay attention and remove the bugs before they get into the wrong stuff. Curiously, I just read about surgeons reexperimenting with that process in a controlled fashion and getting amazing results, much better than they get with a scalpel. Infection is a VERY serious concern when dealing with gangaress tissue. So the question becomes how do we deal with boosting the immune system, preventing further infection, while removing the dead toxic material from your system? I like the garlic pack idea. Might even think about a goldenseal/myrhh combination, but I would like more drawing action, hmm, marshmallow powder is a classic " mortification " remedy. Perhaps a simple marshmallow powder topically and super tonic internally. My fallback choice which I would try first is just a plantain poultice and again, super tonic internally. Make sure they eat loads of garlic too. Comfrey rt powder would work too. A good echinacea tincture would be an assett. Okay then, a drawing powder of your favorite drawing herb, fire cider, and echinacea tincture. Gangarene is one of those areas in which one doesn't get cocky and instead allows the medical dweebs to do their job. They are pretty good at chop and cut treatment of acute trauma.
