Dry foot gangrene, as a part of diabetes and/or atherosclerosis management, has become a major medical problem. This website is intended to allow you to manage your own care, ask the right questions, insist on adequate management and information, and seek an optimal outcome for yourself as an informed patient. Perhaps it will even help the health professionals - vascular specialists and foot doctors (chiropodists, podiatrists) - who are giving care to better understand and, hopefully, incorporate into their practice the nutritional approach to gangrene - its prevention and treatment.
It stands to reason that any safe approach to gangrene, no matter how low the probable success rate, should be vigorously investigated. Thousands of people worldwide would benefit from it. Anecdotal and empirical experience regarding the nutritional approach to gangrene has existed for almost 20 years. While reasonable people do not expect 100 per cent success for any therapy, hundreds of them can say that they have experienced a remarkable improvement with this approach. Isn't that why we have science, to investigate methods such as nutritional control of gangrene? It is beyond comprehension that scientific medical studies neither refute nor support the nutritional approach.
To understand why the nutritional control of gangrene has not been investigated, you need to realize that there is no special interest or economic incentive to provide proof, only a large counter-incentive not to do so by those with the means to run such a study. In other words, the only incentive is a general, rather than a special interest. So, if governments won't conduct a study on behalf of their people to verify inexpensive methods already available, who will, especially if it would cost a company millions? And why bother? Should nutritional method of controlling gangrene not work, it has been shown to be harmless. Furthermore, a large study isn't going to do the average person much good.
Unfortunately, no effort what-so-ever has been made by the medical scientific establishment to investigate, much less verify, this approach to gangrene. Therefore, up to date, there haven't been the outcome studies to document that the nutritional method of controlling gangrene doesn't work. They don't exist because the regulators and others are opposed to doing the research - because so many people have discovered that nutritional method of controlling gangrene does work! It's time then for true studies to be done on outcomes of the patient. The medical gold standard of research - the double blind, placebo controlled, crossover study - was great -- but only for infectious diseases. As it's impossible to hold all variables the same, this standard has become outmoded for today's outcome studies; it should go the way of the monetary gold standard. It's also time for medical establishments to place the patient foremost and to understand that doing "no harm" should be the only treatment.
But not everybody, including medical establishments, agrees that the evidence is enough to act upon. Until formal proof is established, this matter remains a legitimate question of judgment, which varies from one person, or institution, to another. However, the only way to obtain scientifically acceptable proof of the association between nutritional means, such as targeted nutritional supplementation, and gangrene would be to
Such critical test should be performed in a three-to-five-year, $75-million study conducted, for example, by the American Heart Association. The conclusive evidence would be published as a formal proof of the role played by nutrition in the process of controlling gangrene. Unfortunately, such a multi-million study has not been run yet. Should we wait then for "conclusive" evidence, which may be years away and too late for some of us? Can we accept probable evidence? We need to realize that not taking a stand, insisting on waiting until all the evidence is in, is itself - a position and a recommendation! Not taking a stand is not really the neutral position it is made out to be. On the other hand, physicians like to pretend, and many have kidded themselves into believing, that whatever they espouse has been "scientifically proved." Nonsense! A great deal of what established medicine recommends today with good conscience is not formally "proved"! In other words, in medicine it is not uncommon to recommend measures for which only substantial evidence exists.
Example No. 1: And only in early 1985 did a panel of 13 experts convened as part of a National Institutes of Health "consensus conference" conclude "beyond a reasonable doubt" that lowering elevated blood cholesterol levels would reduce the risk of heart attacks. "Beyond a reasonable doubt" in fact means "with a high order of probability." Surely this is not formal proof. It's a consensus decision.
Example No. 2: Existing evidence indicates with a very high order of probability that the progression of gangrene in the extremities can be halted nutritionally.
Also surgery (read: amputation) has its limitations. In some cases it cannot be performed as it may put patient's life at even greater risk! Then, such condition is being qualified as... hopeless. "We're sorry, but nothing else can be done," vascular surgeons keep telling relatives of patients'. And this is true - but only from the medical point of view. What makes gangrene, especially its "dry" version, responsive to the nutritional method is the fact that this type of gangrene involves the resultant obstruction only of the arterial blood supply without interference to the venous return. In other words, in dry gangrene the blood flow (circulation) is only partially impaired and the other part (venous system) is still functioning, or ready to function. Therefore, it is able to cooperate by supporting any attempt to restore internally faulty circulation, especially in its arterial part. The other factor making dry gangrene highly responsive to the nutritional method is the fact that this disease is characterized by a gradual progression>. In other words, due to relatively slow development of gangrene, there is enough time to support the body nutritionally in order to restore partially impaired circulation - in this case, to unclog arterial blockages. These two factors - the partial impairment of the blood flow and the gradual progression of the disease - have been commonly overlooked, not to say ignored, by standard medical treatments of gangrene.
One of the natural, non-amputation methods to effectively treat dry foot gangrene is the nutritional revasculatization. Its first and foremost goal is to improve and - over a period of time - restore the impaired circulation in the areas wounded by vascular ischemia (decreased blood flow) - the most common cause of foot ulcers and/or gangrene. The process of natural revascularization can be triggered with an application of nutritional - natural and essential - factors that - when presented in specific ratios and amounts - are able to correct longer standing deficiencies and imbalances which are known to contribute to the circulatory problems. As opposed to standard medical methods of treating vascular ischemia, the nutritional revascularization helps to reduce the impact of factors that created the buildup of atherosclerotic plaque in the arteries.
Simply put, our Gangrene Clear-G Formula works to improve and/or restore circulation. And improved circulation allows the body to heal itself. What could be better than a nutritional supplement fixing the impaired circulation that develops in a diseased body? There have been medical studies on the beneficial effect of nutritional supplementation on the circulatory system; it appears people with poor blood flow do benefit from specialty dietary supplements. Nutritional factors - naturally occurring substances, not drugs whose substances are foreign to the body - are able to boost the body chemistry by
As far as the cardiovascular system is concerned, according to orthomolecular nutrition, if the right building blocks (nutrients) are present in the body - in the right amounts and at the right time - the body will do the rest. In other words, if you want to stop the progression of gangrene due to impaired cirulation you need to get to the root of the problem. By just pulling a dandelion out by its leaves, you are not going to get very far.
This all-natural combination of 97 nutrients and phytonutrients (plant nutrients) not only keeps your blood flow to the affected limbs in check (as some drugs do), but actually helps your body rebuild the organs and systems that control blood circulation - without side effects. No wonder, our Gangrene Clear-G Formula can produce results that doctors have rarely seen before, even with hard-core prescription drugs. And, unlike pharmaceutical drugs, it is very body-friendly.
Our proprietary Gangrene Clear-G Formula is a complete "multi" supporting healthy blood circulation. It has been designed to provide optimal concentrations of vitamins, anti-oxidants, lipotropic factors, chelated minerals, trace minerals, and digestive enzymes as they are all necessary to optimize the blood flow. In other words, Gangrene Clear-G Formula does not "destroy" gangrene! It helps the body to eliminate its cause, namely, to stop the progression of gangrene through improving and, over a period of time, restoring impaired blood circulation that is known to contribute to gangrene. In our clinical experience, Gangrene Clear-G Formula does that in a way of:
As you can see, Clear-G Formula consists only of the natural factors vital to the cardiovascular system and present in specific ratios and amounts in order to correct longer standing deficiencies and imbalances that are known to contribute to the common circulatory health problems. This superior dietary supplement has mitigative, preventive and protecting properties. However, there is no one "miracle" ingredient in the Gangrene Clear-G Formula. It is a special and unique, orthomolecular combination of all of ingredients that helps to accelerate the inner self-healing effect. In many individuals, our Gangrene Clear-G Formula has also been able toL
And there appears to be no harm in taking the Gangrene Clear-G Formula.
Thermography: This man considered himself fairly active and on a good diet. He was on the nutritional revascularization program for six (6) weeks.
The follow-up thermographic photo demonstrates a glowing picture of the feet with all toes visible. The increased temperature in this area was made possible by improved circulation (blood flow). Within six (6) weeks, vascularity in this man's feet was increased by 86 percent, and pulse volume - by 50 per cent. Considering the fact that impaired cirulation in the extremities is difficult to treat, to see such a high degree of response in only six weeks is most significant.
The first graph shows the signs of poor circulation, such as decreased size of the waveform, the oval peaking, and the indistinct low volume peaks - prior to the nutritional revascularization program:
The second graph demonstrates the signs of improved circulation, such as increased size of the waveform, the sharper peaking, and the distinct high volume peaks - after six (6) weeks of the nutritional revascularization program:

Thursday, January 31, 2008 Dear Andrew: I contacted you last year in early December about my father's condition. He had undergone 2 different surgeries on his right foot: one to remove the 2 outside toes, and then a year later the 3 middle toes. At that time, they also did a bypass and thought my father would be OK. He had tried IV chelation a few years ago, and I think that helped him some. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to continue the treatments. Early December, when gangrene in his right foot set in, my father was getting ready to die. The only option he was given by the doctors was below the knee amputation without any guarantee of success. He turned that down. The surgeon had also told my father that basically all his arteries below his knee were “just hanging there like strings.” I had read enough even then to know that without treating the underlying problem, at best everything being done was no more than putting a band-aid on a huge problem. Fortunately, as I was looking for information on managing the pain for gangrene, I ran across your website. Today, he is still walking OK and there is no smell (only 2 months after the gangrene began to set in). He is relatively pain free and hopeful that he has some time left (he says he is too ornery to die). When I first spoke with you, you said there was perhaps a 50/50 chance that your Formula would help my father, so he agreed to try it. As far as I am concerned, if not for your product, he may not have made his 80th birthday earlier this month, or if he had, I don’t think he would have been as relatively pain free and in a good condition as he was. When I ask him, he comments that he is sleeping well at night, without foot pain waking him up. I know when his toes were gangrenous and pain at night was a big problem for him. My sister, who does not see him as frequently as I do, also commented that his color was looking better than it has in a long time. Thank you for your product. I believe that it is responsible for giving my father some additional time with good quality. I have attached a picture of his foot from the bottom. While I am certainly no expert, it seems to me that the foot is healing. I was even able to remove a large section of dead skin off of the top of the foot this morning and underneath the skin seemed pink and healthy. I am so thankful for this Formula and plan to share the results my father has had with the podiatrist he had been working with. He works with many diabetic patients and is open to alternative therapies. He might find this interesting. Thank you again. I'll let you know how things go in the upcoming months.

I just wanted to let you know that my dad's foot now appears to be TOTALLY healed. The 'scab' came off about a week or so ago and the tissue is healthier than it has looked in years. Here are the pictures of his foot as it is now. I took my father to see his podiatrist last week and he was very happy to see the condition of my father's foot. I brought him an empty jar of your formula.
Thank you again for the work you have done to create this product! Karen P.S. Finding your formula was a specific answer to a specific prayer...
Dear ReverseGangrene.com, First, let me thank you for the unique way you created your web site. It was very easy to find and your words were sincerely understood. I’m living proof that gangrene can be reversed. In April 2005, I was in a hospital bed, and about an hour away from a scheduled amputation of the fifth toe of my right foot. Right from the hospital bed I called your toll- free number and asked you if it was possible to reverse gangrene even though I was told earlier that morning that bones in my toe were also infected, and the answer was “yes.” I declined the amputation, and two days after taking Gangrene Clearing Formula, the gangrene portion of my toe began to fuse with the non-gangrene area. The rest is history. My toe is healed and the infection is completely gone. No one can believe it. Many are calling it a miracle, especially since the doctors at one of the most well known university medical centers told me that an amputation was the only remedy. Day after day as I changed the dressing on my toe, I was amazed to observe steadily growing white healthy tissue. Eventually the gangrene of the affected part came off and the remaining part of the toe healed nicely. I’m happy to have saved most of my toe, in light of the fact that the surgeons wanted to amputate it all the way up to the metatarsal bone in my foot. I must admit that it took courage and close to five months for a complete healing, but it was well worth it. The most important thing here is that the gangrene was REVERSED! Your Formula specifically targeted the problem and is very potent. It really works!!!!! I might add that you were always available to me for personal support. Also, my sugar is now under control without insulin. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Here's an illustrated timeline compiled by a devasted son telling the tragic story of the last days of his diabetic elderly mother. You come to your own conclusion. July 28th, she left hospital to enter a nursing home.
October 5th, she was admitted by the alternative doctor to another hospital.
October 20th, she passed away. COMMENT: After viewing these and other pictures, you probably keep asking yourself: “How can anyone let their bodies get to that point? How was it possible? It doesn't make any sense at all. Things like that should be prevented from happening!” Unfortunately, it may be just an example of what is happening right now to someone you know or hold dear...
