Gangrene

Natural alternative treatment, healing and cure for many cases of gangrene. No need to travel to an exotic faraway land for an alleged miracle cure. The cure is already in the kitchen

Important notice

The information in this page about gangrene, natural medicine, treatment and cure is NOT a sales pitch for any drug, supplement, herbal formula or even an alleged magic potion from an exotic faraway land.

Food is always best medicine

No chemical drugs or expensive and dangerous surgeries, not even herbal concoctions. Just the right diet for curing many cases of gangrene. Learn how.

What is Gangrene?

Gangrene is the decay and death of tissue resulting from an interruption of blood flow to a certain area of the body. Some types of gangrene involve bacterial infections(wet or gas gangrene). Gangrene usually affects the extremities, including toes, fingers and limbs, but it can also occur in muscles and internal organs.

Risk Factors

Developing gangrene usually often results from an underlying long standing condition that can damage blood vessels, such as diabetes, AIDS-associated infections and other bacterial infections (Wet and gas gangrene which develops quickly and can be fatal) or atherosclerosis (Dry gangrene which develops slowly) or past physical injury.

Symptoms

Skin gangrene

Purple, blue then black discoloration of the skin

Severe pain followed by a feeling of numbness

A foul-smelling discharge leaking from an open sore

Internal tissue gangrene

Swollen and painful tissue of the affected organ

A fever and a feeling of being unwell

Advanced cases of gangrene include symptoms of septic shock:

Low blood pressure

Rapid heart rate

Lightheadedness

Shortness of breath

Confusion

It is true that Gangrene is a serious illness, but the body's compromised immunity that made it susceptible to gangrene takes years to develop.  Some diabetic patients end up developing gangrene in their limbs especially the lower limbs. This is because diabetes slowly depletes the body of its reserve of sodium, thus compromising its immunity and developing gangrene.

Traditional Gangrene treatments

Traditional treatments for gangrene include surgery to remove dead tissue (this often includes limb amputation), sometimes antibiotics. The prognosis for recovery is acceptable if gangrene is identified early and treated quickly.

However, available Gangrene treatments (amputation and antibiotics) can be classified as medicine of the first and second degree among the seven levels of medicine. The current Gangrene treatment is expensive and often not offering a cure, because many diabetic patients later develop gangrene in other parts of their bodies even after having an amputation performed.

Gangrene and eastern medicine

This is an extreme YIN illness (spreads fast, redness, numbness, open sores, etc.). The progress of the illness can actually be reversed with the proper YANG foods. You can read more about the relation between Gangrene and YIN and YANG in the seven laws of the universe.

Gangrene treatment and natural alternative cure for many cases of gangrene

If the gangrene case has not far developed into blackened tows or limbs it is treatable and completely curable without resorting to amputations. The prescribed diet for gangrene is usually extremely restricted and requires strong will and strict adherence.

The diet for a gangrene patient has to be carefully designed because gangrene is a dangerous illness. Following the diet, the gangrene patient usually sees marked improvements within just a couple of days, and the blood vessel blockage and infection (redness, numbness, foul smelling yellow discharge, etc.) begin to recede. One advantage of this rapid improvement is that a gangrene patient is usually advised by doctors to have the amputation done quickly, but if the patient begins to see rapid improvement on the diet, then the patient will have more courage to give the natural cure a chance.

It takes longer for the gangrene patient to completely recover and regain immunity especially if the patient is diabetic.

Gangrene additional natural alternative treatment

In Addition to the diet for treating gangrene, our recommended plan also includes temporary home remedies such as compresses, baths and soakings, with instructions on how to make these home remedies, in order to provide immediate relief for a gangrene sufferers during the first few days of going on the diet and until this diet begins to take effect and show marked improvements.

Compare Gangrene conventional and natural treatments

In the page natural antibiotics you will find a comparison between chemical and natural antibiotics regarding effectiveness(bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungus, etc.), cost, availability and side effects.

Gangrene and macrobiotics

Most people have come to believe that macrobiotics means eating exotic Japanese foods. This is a misconception. To cure Gangrene you do not have to eat Japanese foods. You have to first understand the principles of natural balance explained in macrobiotics in order to understand what eating and living habits have led you to develop Gangrene. Then, macrobiotic principles will help you determine what foods you will have to eat in order to cure Gangrene. Read If macrobiotics means eating locally grown foods, why are we eating Japanese foods?

If you are a diabetes/gangrene patient and tried macrobiotics (particularly the #7 diet) but found it did not work for you, this is because the foods you have selected are not appropriate for your condition. Please read: The standard macrobiotic diet does not work for some people. Why?

Gangrene and the food pyramid

It is true that food is best medicine for Gangrene. But some foods help a cure a gangrene case and some make the condition worse. The food pyramid is only a general guideline and does not provide any specific information in the natural treatment of gangrene.

Gangrene and vitamin and mineral supplements

Food is best medicine. With a carefully designed diet plan for gangrene there is really no need for vitamin and mineral supplements. Some vitamin and mineral supplements can actually have adverse side effects on a gangrene patient when taken randomly or in large doses, especially wet gangrene. We strongly discourage a gangrene patient from taking any supplements at all. Gangrene is a YIN illness. Vitamin C, which is considered a healthy supplement, is also a YIN vitamin. That is why vitamin C will actually exacerbate the condition of a gangrene patient. And beware of alleged miracle cures in far away lands.

Consultation for natural treatment of Gangrene and more ...

Are you skeptical of this treatment and cure for gangrene? This is natural, but please read: back to the roots.

This is not a sales pitch for an expensive herbal concoction or an exotic supplement

Principles explained above are the laws of nature, and illness is simply the cumulative result of violating these laws. Even Hippocrates said: Thy food shall be thy remedy. It is also mentioned in the Chinese book of internal medicine: What can not be cured with medicine, can only be cured with food.

Food really is your best medicine if the illness is Gangrene or almost anything else. It is beneficial when you are following a diet to read about the healing crisis.
