My mom has been using the supershots for a week and for the first time in 17 years she has no pain from her rheumatoid arthritis! She loves this product! In fact the whole family is doing better because of the supershots. Thank you very much!

Diabetic Foot Ulcer
Diabetic foot ulcers are common in both Type 1 (insulin-dependent) and Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent diabetes) and can lead to considerable disability.
Because of the absence of suitable treatments, these ulcers tend to recur and often lead to amputation of the affected leg or even to the death of the patient. Healing, if it occurs, can take months to years, but many never heal at all.
These ulcers occur mainly due to reduced oxygen reaching the skin causing a weakening of the tissue. Also, the nerves controlling the blood supply may be damaged (peripheral neuropathy) which further reduces blood supply. The affected skin then becomes vulnerable to even minor trauma which breaks the skin surface. This is the beginning of an ulcer, and often a lot of associated physical and mental pain and stress.
Like leprosy ulcers, diabetic ulcers can respond very well, and often quickly, to wheatgrass therapy as shown by the case below. Medical research and clinical observation suggest that wheatgrass may contain growth factors that repair the nerves vital to keeping the tiny blood vessels open therefore allowing oxygen and nutrients to reach the damaged tissue.
Fig. 1. Diabetic forefoot ulcer present 4 months in a 49 yo male. Unresponsive to orthodox treatment. Commenced daily application of Dr Wheatgrass Skin Recovery Spray. Note hematoma (blood clot) bulging upwards from ulcer centre.
|
Fig. 2. Same patient after 2 days’ application of wheatgrass spray. Note that the hematoma has burst, blood clot resolved and new skin is encroaching on the ulcer surface around its upper and central margins. The remaining ulcer surface is well vascularised and vital.
|
Fig. 3. Same patient two weeks after daily application of wheatgrass spray. New skin has filled about 90% of the ulcer surface and vascularisation is no longer visible. The wound is clean and exudate minimal.
|
Fig. 4. Same patient four weeks after commencement of wheatgrass spray. Ulcer is almost completely filled and exudate is absent.
|
Fig. 5. Same patient six weeks after daily application of wheatgrass spray. Ulcer is completely filled and lesion markedly reduced in size. No exudate.
