HEELS HEALING IN UNDER A WEEK

First off a big thank you to Robin Yasinow for the great blog title. She saw our last update and came up with the cleaver wording for this update.

I’m going to start off with a personal note that I am so pleased with the progress of this heel therapy challenge. It was a bit of a challenge to put my “before”photos out on the web for everyone to see. But, I’m so glad I did because it would be harder for everyone to understand my excitement at these results without seeing where I started!

STRONG RESULTS AT 5 DAYS

I was traveling over the last several days, so I need to get everyone caught up on my progress!

You might notice the *lovely* hotel carpeting in the shot. Just a reminder that your skin care regimen is so important when you travel. Hotel air is so dry and often air quality while traveling is quite poor. Its very important to cleanse and moisturize while traveling.

But about my feet… The change in texture has been the most dramatic difference. My heels are much softer and smoother. They actually feel better as I walk because the callus on the ridge of my heel is largely gone due to the increased moisture level.

With my right heel you can see the significant change in coloring. The top layer of skin is largely moisturized. That glorious pink color that was not visible beneath the dry scale is returning to my heels. You can still see some rough patches of dry, dead skin that really needs to be removed, so I have decided to give myself a C’watre Pedicure and I’ll post those photos tomorrow.

PROTOCOL

My protocol, or heel therapy regimen, has remained the same with 2 pumps per heel – once in the morning and once in the evening.

DRAMATIC TREATMENT RESULTS UNDER DOCTOR’S TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

Kanreki products were used to treat the severe psoriasis of a patient who failed to get relief from prescription products. The patient treated the affected area daily receiving near-immediate relief from the worst irritation and progressively experiencing recovery of the affected area.

ABOUT PSORIASIS

As many as 7.5 million Americans have psoriasis, a skin disease that causes scaling and swelling. The normal process of skin cell turnover, is that skin cells grow deep in the skin and slowly rise to the surface over the course of a month. With psoriasis, according to the National Institutes of Health, cell turnover can happen in just a few days because the cells rise too fast and pile up on the surface.

According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, psoriasis begins as an autoimmune disease. It occurs when the T cell, which helps protect the body against infection and disease, is triggered by mistake. This leads to swelling and fast turnover of skin cells.

Most psoriasis causes patches of thick, red skin with silvery scales. These patches can itch or feel sore. They are often found on the elbows, knees, other parts of the legs, scalp, lower back, face, palms, and soles of the feet.People with psoriasis may notice that sometimes the skin gets better and sometimes it gets worse. Things that can cause the skin to get worse include: stress, weather change, infection, or certain medications.

PSORIASIS TREATMENT AND PATIENT NOTES

“This patient has had psoriasis for several years, originating with an automobile accident. Initially there was only minor scaling of the traumatized skin. Subsequently, over a few years the psoriasis progressed to the more serious plaque stage that was characterized by very dry skin and raised overgrowth lesion that was red, inflamed, and covered with white scale which was painful and cracking. This was the chronic debilitating stage of the disease. The patient had attempted treatment with dermatologist, primary care physician and self treatment without success.” [see first image]

“The C’watre therapy was initiated and the patient was very careful to follow the treatment protocols. After one month, the diseased skin had begun to flatten, was less inflamed and had stopped scaling. [see second image] After two months the scars of psoriasis were fading and new healthy well perfused skin was beginning to develop. [see final image] The traditional psorratic skin piles were absent. The patient could now wear shorts without feeling self-conscious or embarrassed which improved his quality of life and his relationship with his family.  The red inflamed painful tissue of chronic psoriasis was gone.”   -Robert Lyles, Jr. MD, Ph.D., Bowie, Maryland

TREATMENT PROTOCOL

Components: 1) KANREKI Wash; 2) KANREKI Tonic; 3) KANREKI Serum; and 4) KANREKI Cream.

The Patient was instructed to apply the products twice a day beginning by cleansing the affected area with a small amount of the Kanreki Wash and rinsing with warm water. Following that by misting the psoriasis with the Kanreki Tonic. A small amount of Kanreki Serum was then applied to the psoriasis. The final step was to smooth Kanreki Cream over the entire area of treated skin. The sequence of the layered protocol was specific to move from less dense to most dense in the thickness of the treatment components to facilitate deep penetration of the products.
