Effect of co2 in healing chronic wounds (human studies) (gas vs foot bath)
-
- 7 - 9 month old wounds, After CO2 therapy, 66% of the wounds healed completely compared with 0% in the placebo group. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/iwj.13436
- 45 minutes, plastic wrap up to the waist filled with co2 , 5 days a week,
- application of gaseous CO2 on the microcirculation in healthy men was investigated. The temperature of the skin in the exposed leg reached a plateau in 30 minutes. Since Finzgar et al. included healthy men and we were treating patients with diabetes who have impaired circulation, an additional 15 minutes of exposure time were added to ensure the maximum effect.
. 2ml (grams?) of co2 in 2L water, 15 days, foot bath for 30 mins a day gave slight improvement but not much
. using 1g -1.2g per L water, 30 minutes daily foot bath, and increasing to 3 months, gave healing nearly 1/2 the ulcer size https://www.iosrjournals.org/iosr-jpbs/papers/Vol13-issue5/Version-4/A1305040107.pdf
(co2 in water is limited to somewhere around 1.5g - 2g per liter i think, which you can get from maybe 5g of an acid like malic acid + 4 grams of sodium bicarb, but this low amount in water still gives a healing effect due to enhanced absorption). Best improvement is with using gas instead of water , in the first study, for 45 mins a day 5x a week, has a complete or almost complete healing effect in most people, by 1 month (20 sessions)
- In the study group, 20 of 30 (67%) wounds were healed following CO2 therapies
