From what I can make out of the original Gautdian article is that it took him a month to seak treatment, and then when it had gotten really bad. Just about anyone would have lost their foot letting an infection rage for so long. Poor BS control favors infection and depressed immune systems but...

So what happened with the doc? Any diagnosis or improvement?

My wife bakes her own bread using wild yeast developing naturaly on rye flour. She then uses traditional way of making bread with rye and spelt flour. It takes a lot of effort but makes a low-ish carb bread with resistive starches. We limit ourselves to 2 thin slices a day. There are also...

I'm not sure where you live, but I would suggest you get to a high risk foot clinic. You really shouldn't get ulcers after walking for a few hours so something is really wrong here. A HRFC can help with this, they should also have access to other specialists like an endocrinologist and...

Charcot's foot only occurs under specific circumstances. It occurs when a person has severe neuropathic feet with normal vascular health. It is triggered by some kind of injury, which typically is not felt, and an out of control vascular response occurs which allows excessive amounts of blood...

Only one safe oil and that is fresh, extra virgin olive oil. And occassionally coconut oil (the hard white stuff at room temperature, not the liquid one)

I think of pre diabetes as your in a car heading for a cliff but still got time to pull up and turn around.

Hi, I don't wish to panic you and would point out that diagnosing anything on a web forum is monstrously stupid. BUT if this lady walked into my clinic and told me this story; alarm bells would ring and red flags would be raised. Progressive muscle weakness is a serious problem that needs...
