My mother developed diabetic foot ulcer on the heel of her foot couple of months ago. she had a surgery last month in which surgeon did debridement of her wound but since then its not healing. She also has marked stenosis in the peripheral arteries and according to color doppler study approximately 80-85% stenosis is present in superficial femoral arteries at the mid thigh level. What could be the treatment options for her to save her from limb loss. Also wound culture result shows the presence of E Coli.

    This is worrying to give you this advice as I am not medically trained but I have experience of using Manuka Honey to heal wounds and have been astounded by the results.  This is a medically approved treatment for woundsand also I believe ulcers and my GP admitted that it has sound reasons for working as honey has antibacterial properties and anticeptic ones too.  If you research this it may help you.  Good luck.
