Hi S.,
This is a tough situation but their are still other options then amputation. I do wellness work and am always learning about new techniques people are using with a lot of success. A red colored cold laser speeds up healing of all tissues and skin responds really well. A violet/red cold laser helps heal same as red but is even more effective for healing infections. I have a Violet cold laser made by Erchonia that is FDA approved for healing severe acne. It kills the acne bacteria( so it is anti bacterial). Manatech makes a product called ambertose that has glyco nutrients for cells. My Dad had wounds that didn't heal for6 months and once he made some changes including taking ambertose his woulds healed. Hyperbaric Oxygen is used for wound healing too. The new WIN Institute in Basalt has a hyperbaric chamber. The Synergy company makes a green superfood called Pure Synergy. The man who developed it was mangled in an auto accident and they said he would nr walk again, he had horrible infections and the docs wanted to amputate but he said no. He created synergy to help other heal. Where does your Dad live? I am part of a network of practitoners using some of the above techniques and tools in other areas of CO and the states. Blessings, S.
