Patient History (Continued):

October 1, 1999

Sara Jane was called to see how she was doing.  She reported that the infection was getting better, the prescription antibiotic was finished, her skin was softer and more supple, and that it was easier for her to get in and out of a car. 

October 25th through November 18th, 1999 Initial Treatment Program - 3 Week Duration

Sara Jane’s legs were better than they were on her initial visit: swelling was decreased, tissue was softer, skin color was better.  However her skin was still very dry and ulcers were open and weeping.

October 25, 1999

Treatment began with Peter as the main therapist, and Kathleen McLoughlin assisting him. Each treatment took between 5 to 6 hours.  Special attention was paid to overall skin care, with herbal compresses used to heal the weeping ulcers and cellular damage.

Skin Care:

Horsechestnut gel was applied topically during MLD treatment.

Castor oil plus MSM lotion was applied topically to the legs before bandaging.

Castor oil mixed with slippery elm were applied to the open ulcers before bandaging.

Honey and slippery elm compresses were used on the cracked skin folds before bandaging.
