Diabetes Update
In the United States of America, almost 20,000,000 cases of diabetes have been diagnosed! Even worse, experts believe that an equal number of prediabetics are walking the streets, unaware of this serious condition. Published medical information shows that diabetes is the leading cause of nontraumatic amputations in the United States and Europe.
Complications of Diabetes
Diabetes produces a gradual narrowing or rupture of the microscopically small blood vessels that feed the individual cells in many organs.
When the tiny blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients to the distant nerve fibers in the extremities are involved, gradual loss of feeling and other abnormal sensations arise, typically affecting the feet first!
As the microcirculation to the surface of the feet decreases, many changes occur, resulting in drying of the skin on the soles of the feet, decreased flexibility and elasticity of the skin, poor local resistance to infection and a severe reduction in healing capacity.
These conditions lead to cracking, ulceration, and infections…which may result in amputation!
How Does Dr. Harris' Original Diabetic Foot CareTM Help Prevent These Problems?
By constantly lowering the bacterial count on the surface of the feet, the probability of a severe infection is significantly reduced.
With the application of Phase 1, the antibacterial exfoliant, once or twice daily, any excessive buildup of dead cells on the soles of the feet will be gradually diminished. The mild circulatory stimulation will help reverse the damaging effects of the reduced blood flow.
With application of Phase 2, the surface is again treated with an anti-bacterial and then nourished with special ingredients that feeds the skin and moisturizes the tissues to restore flexibility, elasticity and helps to prevent the drying, cracking and ulceration that is the major problem.
