I suggested she use the Bound-Oxygen Skin Spray as often as needed. Immediately, then every time it itched, and then two hourly after that.

I asked her if I could take a photo, and then if she could send me more photos when her skin felt and looked better. (Photo above)

Then I got these photos by email – tonight – just more than 6 hours later.

ATHLETES-FOOT

Athlete’s foot, also known as tinea pedis or ringworm of the feet, is a common fungal infection caused by Trichophyton fungus, which results in redness, itching, cracking, flaking, dry skin, discoloration of toenails, peeling, scaling and a burning sensation on the soles and between the toes. It can also affect the scalp which leads to hair loss, scaly patches, and jock itch.

Excessive sweating, a weakened immune system, minor injuries to the nails or skin, wearing closed shoes and keeping your feet wet will increase the risk of getting athlete’s foot. It can spread through direct contact with contaminated surfaces or from one part of the body to other parts.

It usually affects men as they regularly wear heavy, airtight shoes, the perfect condition for the fungus to live and grow.

Bound-Oxygen “Oxygen Foot Detox” is used to treat and prevent the infection in wounds. It treats your athlete’s foot effectively because it kills the fungus that causes it.

Who gets athlete’s foot and how do you get it?

Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection of the skin on the feet. It is very common — up to one in four people have athlete’s foot. Fungal germs (fungi) often occur in small numbers on the human skin where they usually do no harm. However, if conditions are right they can invade the skin, multiply, and cause infection. The conditions fungi like best are warm, moist and airless areas of skin, such as between the toes.

Anyone can get athlete’s foot. It is more common in people who sweat more, or who wear shoes and socks which make their feet more sweaty. Athlete’s foot can also be passed on from person to person. For example, this may occur in communal showers used by athletes or swimmers. A tiny flake of infected skin from a person with athlete’s foot can fall off whilst showering. It may then be trodden on by others who may then develop the infection. Once a small patch of infection develops, it typically spreads on the skin.

What are the symptoms of athlete’s foot?

The skin between the little toes tends to be affected first. A rash develops which then becomes itchy and scaly. The skin may become cracked and sore. Large splits (fissures) in the skin between the toes can develop, which can be very painful. Tiny flakes of infected skin may fall off. The rash may spread gradually along the toes if left untreated. In some cases, it spreads to the soles. Occasionally, the infection causes a scaling rash on the entire sole and side of the foot. In other cases, it causes more of a blistering rash on part of the sole of the foot.

New foot spray shows potential in the treatment of diabetic foot wounds

diabetic-foot

Diabetic foot ulcers cost America $1.9 billion each year in emergency room care on its own.

More than 1 million cases are addressed here each year, with disastrous consequences. Of those followed after treatment, 2% passed away, 10% suffered severe infection, and more than 10% needed limb amputation.

Given all the extraordinary minds in science as well as the rapidly evolving technology nowadays, it seems outrageous that we can’t enhance care for diabetic patients with foot wounds. There are countless researchers targeting the predicament from all perspectives, but one new therapy that shows promise for foot wounds that are unwilling to recover can be purchased in an easy-to-administer foot spray.

Diabetic feet wounds

Those who have diabetes have long been plagued by wounds that refuse to get better. This brand-new spray may help.

What Is Bound-Oxygen?

Bound-Oxygen for sale in South Africa, it is actually an extremely mild stabilized food-grade hydrogen peroxide product that mimics blood, it is actually totally absorbed by means of the pores and skin on the wounds and for serious patients – by means of the feet – bringing up the oxygen contents of your blood throughout the body and so has valuable effects for a variety of different health conditions.

This all-natural product is utilised for the treatment of every slow-healing wound — leg and foot ulcers, pressure sores, as well as post-surgical openings, to name a few.

The active component is pure oxygen – as present in red blood cells. Sufficient oxygenation assists in wound healing by aiding the proliferation of brand new cells, defending those cells from surrounding bacteria, and increasing collagen synthesis.

Is oxygen therapy for diabetic wounds new?

While hyperbaric oxygen chambers have been utilised successfully for years, the cost-effectiveness of ulcer treatment with Bound-Oxygen has certain benefits.

Hospitals charge up to $2,000 for a 90-minute treatment of hyperbaric oxygen, while private facilities are more in the ballpark of $165 to $250. A study from 2010 identified that 40 sessions over an 8-10-week time were necessary for healing so you can imagine how much the overall cost of healing escalates to.

Comparatively, Bound-Oxygen Spray costs somewhere around $15 – $20 per full treatment for more than 10 times the cost savings.

Irrespective of daily or even two times daily wound changes, the total prices for treatment ranged from $150 to $350 for a month of use.

Patient compliance is another challenge healthcare professionals face in treating ulcers. The more complicated the treatment methods are, the harder it is to get the patient to comply with the treatment schedule. According to Deon Marais, “100% of affected individuals were able to apply Bound-Oxygen by themselves, making the concept of patients managing their diabetic feet ulcer on their own a distinct reality.” As all the treatments tend to be self-administered, it’s that easy and painless.

How much Diabetic Foot Spray will you need to use?

When it is a new small wound, then a 50ml bottle is going to be sufficient, to protect against infection and help get the wound to heal faster.

If the wound already is infected, you must spray more frequently, a 250ml bottle should do it.

If you happen to be at risk of getting an amputation, and additionally it’s getting worse, you then will need the complete full treatment, here you place a half a litre of Bound-Oxygen on each foot in plastic bags, after which the liquid is absorbed by means of the feet, three hours at a time.

Oxygen_Detox_Label

This will increase the oxygen count of your blood and therefore help everything heal quicker. If you have had an amputation, and find you want to protect against further complications, then you require the full treatment of Bound-Oxygen foot detox. Apply to feet in bags, so that the fluid is absorbed by way of the feet, do this once a week, or simply when needed.

Bound-Oxygen will not burn, it does not bubble, it does not need to be massaged into the skin, just spray it on and wait for a while for it to dry. The wound is kept open and whenever it itches you spray again, or every two hours, whichever comes first.

Bound-Oxygen is furthermore affordable since you can cut down on the amount of dressings and cleaning products that are required, as the wound remains open.

Diabetes is the primary reason for amputations

Diabetes foot photo

Diabetes is the primary reason for amputations of the lower legs, with amputations in Diabetic patients taking place fifteen times more regularly compared to other people.

Feet ulcers, as well as a loss of circulation in the extremities, is what helps make these types of amputations necessary.

Regular spraying of bound oxygen increases cellular oxygenation and can aid in avoiding these types of symptoms. Oxygen helps the human body in restorative healing, and the infusion of life-giving oxygen therapy could prove to be the major difference between enduring long lasting debilitation and being able to live a regular lifespan.

Bound-Oxygen Therapy may even help heal feet ulcers after they’ve already formed. Health professionals have gone so far as to state that the reduction of 75% of Diabetes-related amputations in The United States may very well be accomplished through the use of oxygen therapy.

Bound-Oxygen destroys the bacteria as well as the pathogens, cleaning the skin and as it absorbs deeper, it keeps on cleaning, also neutralising the poisonous build-up and dead skin area.

Oxygen is natures sterilant, and now everyone has access to this fantastic product.

Caring for diabetic feet

diabetesfootcare

diabetes-foot

If you are suffering from diabetes, foot care is essential. You tend to heal more slowly from cuts, sores, and wounds because your body’s processes that resist infection are more lethargic.

So, if you have diabetes you have to take extra care of your feet because if they get infected they may have to amputate your feet.

It is often the case that diabetics, and elderly people have poor circulation, which makes healing of wounds and infection much slower. Those with poor circulation will know that it affects the areas furthest from the heart, such as the feet.

Diabetes can also do damage to nerves in patient’s feet and give them stiff joints.

Things you can do to maintain healthy feet:

Wash them daily in lukewarm water, using a weak soap, and dry them thoroughly, not forgetting in between your toes. And spray Bound-Oxygen twice a day on top of feet, this adds extra oxygen into the feet, and helps to prevent complications.

Thoroughly check your feet, every day or get someone you live with to do it for you.

If you or they find any cuts, sores, bruises or toenail colour changes you should immediately start using Bound-Oxygen, every 20/30 minutes if possible, as it improves you can use it less often.

Ventilate your feet as often as you can, if you are sitting down, take your shoes and socks off. Remember – if you are going around the house, wear some sandals or slippers to prevent yourself from getting them cut or infected.

You would be surprised to find out that proper diabetes foot care could not only save your feet, it could even save your life.

  • itch-scratch-cycle
  • Itchy Skin and Diabetes
  • Itchy skin can be a sign of diabetes, particularly if other diabetes symptoms are also present.
  • High blood sugar levels over a prolonged period are one cause of itchy skin.
  • In some cases, itchy skin may be caused by complications of diabetes such as nerve damage or kidney disease.
  • Itching of the feet, legs or ankles is a common complaint in people with diabetes that may occur because of a period where sugar levels are too high.

Itching can range from being annoying to severe. Itching can be relieved through Bound-Oxygen treatment, spray at the onset of itching, repeat until the itch is gone, then every two hours for a day. Plus, whenever you think of it spray as well, this is normally the sign that itchiness will start soon.

Bound-Oxygen “Diabetic Foot & Leg Spray”

Preventative:

Spray on top of feet twice or more daily. Also spray on any area that is itchy, dry, or has a discoloration. Depending on how many times you spray this, it will also bring your glucose count to normal, about 1 count per hour. The oxygen count in your blood will also increase over time.

Treatment:

Directions: how to use “Diabetes Foot & Leg Spray”

Keep the wound open, spray liquid onto the affected area, and wait for it to dry.

Do this every 20 to 30 minutes. You cannot spray too much, as it is so mild. Every time you spray helps – as it cleans and disinfects the wound, it also sends a signal to the white blood cells to come and fix the affected area.

The dilution is very important. If it is too strong, your skin does not absorb it. Therefore it is a 0.065% strength, it is so mild that it does not even burn your eyes.

Bound-Oxygen “Diabetic Foot & Leg Spray” works exceptionally well, and it is easy and fast to apply. You just spray it on the affected areas and let it dry.  Done – that’s it!

Increasing the oxygen of the blood through absorption via the skin

Topical_Approach

The increase of oxygen by facilitated diffusion using oxygen binding and releasing molecules.

It is well known that wound healing is accompanied by an increase in metabolism in the skin tissue and therefore requires considerably more oxygen than intact skin. In the different phases of wound healing, numerous biochemical and cellular processes are highly dependent on a sufficient supply of oxygen.

Therefore, it makes sense that the status of the oxygen supply to a wound represents an important determinant for the course of healing.

As oxygen plays a crucial role in wound healing, supplying additional oxygen to the chronic wounds may help promote healing.

Any topical oxygen therapy needs to overcome two major intrinsic issues:

  • Diffusion between the gas phase of oxygen and the solid or liquid phase of the skin and the wound exudate, which serve as barriers
  • Movement of oxygen within the liquid phase of the wound bed to the cells that require the oxygen, through transfer and diffusion processes.

In this situation, the improvement of oxygen content in the wound area by topical approaches should have a beneficial impact on physiological processes in wounds. Topical approaches aim to generate a local increase of oxygen concentration at the wound site.

Unlike systemic oxygen therapy, topical oxygen does not rely on an (impaired) vascular system to deliver the oxygen to the wound site. It also has reduced risks compared to systemically increasing oxygen via hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

During the last two decades, results of various case studies and clinical trials suggest that the local oxygen therapies are promising options for enhancing wound healing. These results are supported by several experimental and clinical studies that have highlighted the key role of oxygen in wound healing in general and specifically in patients with chronic wounds. Improving the oxygen supply at the wound should be an essential and important part of wound management.

All the described topical oxygen therapies aim to improve the oxygen supply to the hypoxic area of the wounds so that rapid skin regeneration can take place.

The clinical results achieved with these methods indicate that significant benefits are possible over standard care alone. The evidence base shows successful healing outcomes when standard care has failed to achieve an adequate healing response. As for many other products used in wound care management, the clinical evidence for the efficacy of topical oxygen-based treatment is still based largely on case reports and small clinical trials.

Topical oxygen therapy approaches are not yet widely used in the wound care community anywhere in the world. Growing evidence of its effectiveness suggests it has the potential to form a regular part of adjunctive therapies in treatment regimens to speed up healing of chronic wounds.
