Burns are also wounds

Treating minor burns fast is essential. Cool the area with cold water or a cold pack to limit tissue damage and relieve pain. A pack of frozen peas or mixed vegetables will work just as well. An ice cube held in several layers of tissue or cloth is also quite effective.

Apply the cold pack (separate it from the skin by several layers of gauze or similar thin material) for about 30 minutes, after which the pain is usually reduced (remember that this applies to minor burns only.)

If the burn blisters (as with most burns), try preserving the blister as long as possible- the blister fluid is the perfect growth medium for repair of the burned skin.

Scar facts

Whenever the skin (epidermis) is damaged, the tissue is rebuilt with only very slight scarring. However, when the layer of tissue below the skin (dermis) is damaged, a complex healing process begins which results in a scar. Red and raised scars (hypertrophic and keloid) can form as result of injury or accidents such as cuts and burns. Most scars fade and improve in appearance for about two years following an injury, but they never fully disappear and sweat glands and hair follicles never grow back.

Likely Problems After A Wound Has Healed

Most wounds heal without any problems. However, a few unfortunate conditions may develop:

1. A piece or material gets embedded in the tissue under the healed wound. The area usually remains rather tender (it usually happens with glass fragments).

2. The scar ends up discoloured, particularly after a bad gravel rash.

3. A small piece of skin has been pushed into the wound, where it grows and eventually forms a ‘dermoid cyst’ that is harmless but needs removal.

4. Scars over the areas that are stretched often, such as knee, elbow and over the knuckles, often grow to be quite thick for a brief period, but usually become flat and colourless after a few months.

Signs A Wound Is Getting Infected

1. Increasing pain

2. Increasing inflammation
i.e. increasing redness, swelling, heat and tenderness.

3. An offensive odour

4. The wound starts to get bigger

Remedy To Heal Cancer And Other Illnesses By Dr.Tateishi Kazu

When cancer strikes a family, what course of action should one take? Dr.Tateishi Kazu's father and brother both died of cancer. And then he found himself suffering from cancer of the duodenum and spreading. His stomach was removed, but the cancer cells had spread to his lungs. He resolved to fight for his life. He researched, studied and tested over 1,500 types of herbs and plants. Eventually he discovered the right combination of ingredients and formulated a unique healing vegetable soup and brown rice tea with its own molecular powers. The vegetables are rich in green chlorophyll, amino acids, iron, phosphorous, calcium, all in a natural form.

He based his soup on the principles of Five Elements theory, the harmonizing balance of the forces of Yin and Yang, acid and alkaline that engenders health as opposed to the imbalance, which leads to disease.

The five elements in our environment are wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Because of the balance of the five elements, the earth is able to produce life. Dr. Tataishi Kazu used the essence of the five elements. Each essence possesses its own color: green, red, yellow, white and black. These relate to the corresponding internal organs: heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidneys. He used the concept of the five different colors as matched to specific vegetables.

Green/ Daikon Radish Leaves

White/ Daikon Radish

Red/ Carrot

Yellow/ Burdock Root

Black/ Shitake Mushrooms

What This Remedy May:
1. Heal Cancer
2. Restore injured joints and bone structure
3. Slow down the aging process
4. Rejuvenate the skin
5. Heal Cataracts
6. Heal liver disorders
7. Lower high blood pressure
8. Improve heart conditions
9. Reduce brain tumors and other related head-injury problems
10 Reduce high white blood cell counts
11. Improve T-cell function

This is a remedy for all age groups. When the soup is ingested, it produces thirty different elements for fighting disease. Within three days, it can stop the growth of cancer cells. Even for some last-stage cancer patients, it can lead to 100% remission. Patients who have subsisted on feeding tubes for nourishment, when given the soup, after two days regained their strength. Over 10,000 last-stage cancer patients have used this remedy. 99% are alive and were able to return to work.

Vegetable Soup Recipe
(2 days' quantity)
Ingredients
16 ounces white daikon (radish)
8-10 ounces white daikon (radish) greens
8-10 ounces carrot8 ounces burdock root (also called Gobo in Japan)

Brown Rice Tea Recipe
Another remedy that can be used in conjunction with the vegetable soup is brown rice tea. It is a good diuretic for ridding excess water from the body. For diabetics, it can bring the sugar level down by producing more natural insulin in the body. It cleanses the blood and blood vessel. A person with a heart condition drinking both soups in 20 days will be able to regulate their problem by drinking three cups per day. For a regular cancer patient, about two cups.

Knowing Which Dressing To Use When Treating A Wound

In areas that have been chafed or soiled, cover the wound using a transparent adhesive patch after it has been properly cleaned and dried.

For small cuts on your fingers or hands, light adhesive bandages that allow the wound to breath are best.

Avoid bandages that cause a lot of sweating underneath.

Using Antiseptic When Treating A Wound

It is always a wise precautionary move to use antiseptic when treating a wound- apply it only on the wound margins (around the wound). However, you should always remember that some antiseptics are not suitable to be applied around deep wounds. If you accidentally get the wound wet, dry it thoroughly and re-apply the antiseptic. You may leave small clean wounds open, especially if you find it difficult to apply or retain dressings on them. Make sure that they are thoroughly dry and apply closure strips.

How To Stop A Wound From Bleeding?

If what you have is a deep or puncture wound, examine the surrounding skin for tender lumps or points that indicate the likelihood of a foreign body.

The wound must first be properly cleaned. Next, apply a thick square of clean gauze firmly using your fingers; the limb must be elevated at the same time as much as possible. Keep this up until clotting has occurred (between 7-8 minutes).

If the bleeding persists, seek medical attention.

How To Properly Clean A Wound And When To Treat The Wound Yourself?

Wipe blood from around the wound with moistened cotton, wool swab or gauze (using tap water is fine).

You may treat the wound yourself (using adhesive closures such as bandages and plasters) if:

a. The wound is not in a sensitive area.

b. It clean and not gaping or bleeding.

c. It does not need stitching.

What Is Wound?

A wound is any physical injury that involves a damage or break in the continuity of our skin.

Wounds may be caused by stumbles and trips, puncture wounds, running into things, etc.

Untreated wounds leave a wide open entry for bacteria.

The infections that may follow can result in sepsis, gangrene amputation or even death.
