Today, we’re going to talk about gangrene. Why do some diabetics get gangrene, and others don’t?
What is gangrene?
When you get gangrene, the tissue in the feet and toes, and sometimes in the hands, start to turn:
• Black
• Yellow
• Red
• Green
With gangrene, your tissue is dying. This happens because you’re exposing the tissue to way too much sugar.
When you expose glucose to your vascular system, you get all sorts of destruction that is going to stop the blood flow to the tissue and nerves. You get:
• Oxidation
• Hemorrhaging
• Clotting
• The vascular system becomes thicker and more stiff
Symptoms of gangrene:
• Dead tissue
• Ulcers
• Severe nerve damage
• Pain
• Numbness
The more sugar in the blood, the more vascular problems you’re going to have. To avoid gangrene, you need to limit your sugar intake. Get on the ketogenic diet, and start doing intermittent fasting.
What to do for gangrene:
In 2004 the FDA approved maggot therapy. This is where maggots clean up the dead tissue and clear out the infection. This may actually be more effective than certain surgeries because it:
• Disinfects the area
• Stimulates healing
The maggots also release enzymes and release a broad-spectrum antibiotic to kill the infection. Within one or two days, the infection could be completely cleaned out.
Other things you can do:
• Change your diet (eliminate sugar)
• Take benfotiamine (fat-soluble vitamin B)
