Message:		Hi mine name is Glenn.. On May 20th '06 I was in a horrific accident on my gas powered race scooter. This accident shattered my Tib & Fib just below my left knee. When I was rushed to the hospital I was figuring a quickie cast and I'm good to go.. Oh Riiigghhtt!.. I started off with a really severe compartment syndrome which led to an open faciotomy and an exterior cage to the leg.. I contracted a bad MSRI and required Vanco via a pic line for 7 weeks. I've had 11 surgeries since May.I was in the hospital for 8 weeks straight and 3 different hospitals..Ridge Meadows, Burnaby General and VGH. I now have a Gastrocmedial Flap on my left knee and I'm still in a wheel chair most of the time with some time non weight bearing on crutches. The doctors have since said I was really lucky just to keep the leg. Now on to healing..I was placed on every pain med known to man.. Oxycontin 70mg twice a day was the only thing to control the mind numbing pain.. I am since on MS contin and find it way less demanding I.E withdrawls than the Oxy.I had a crazy amount of wounds that required a Vac System to close them... one wound would just NOT heal.. right below the flap where the skin is so very close to the bone. I tried every single thing the plastic surgeon told me to no avail.. it was actually getting worse!! and to further this I had absolutely ZERO growth of the Tib hence a non union.... My girl suggested I try some natural remedies and at this rate I said why not.... Well it's working!!! and unbelievably fast too... the wound has healed and bone growth has started!!! THANK YOU LORD!..I will be starting the Exogen bone growth machine soon as well just for further help with the union... so here is what I take as a natural way for healing : Osteo RX- bone growth 2 tabs 3 x a day Serrapeptase- 60000iu swelling/pain- 2 tabs 2 x a day BioSil- Silica for skin/hair/bone growth- 3 drops in water 2 x a day HGH- Human growth hormone- healing and rejuvination- 8 drops under the tongue morning and bed time A good multi vitamin and an additional 6000 mg of Vitamin C.. the C vitamin is taken througout the day. I hope this info will help somebody. Please with the grace of GOD will we all get well. Keep our chins up because it WILL get Better! Glenn
