Vulcan Silver vs Wound Healing and Infection

On the 17th of January 2017 News24 published an article about Riaan van der Westhuizen who was undergoing a terrible ordeal after being seriously wounded in a highjacking...


Link to article below:


Riaan's arm got severely infected in hospital and doctors could not operate to reattach severed nerves and tendons or do skin grafts. He was infected with Enterobacter cloacae - a very aggressive bacterial infection that has been classified as a multiresistant bacterial pathogen by the US Library of Medicine and consequently developed sepsis which is often fatal. The swelling got worse daily to the point that stitches were completely ineffective. Doctors asked Riaan's fiancee Karen to sign forms consenting to amputation and fortunately she refused.

3 days after Riaan started using Vulcan Silver both orally to combat the infection in his blood as well as topically to heal his wound he could both feel and see a remarkable improvement in the size of his wound and a significant reduction in swelling so he checked himself out of hospital and went home.

After just two weeks on Vulcan Silver there is a significant improvement
Riaan took maximum dose orally (2.5ml 3 times a day) to combat the bacterial infection and had his dressing changed every second day.

10 weeks after treatment using only Vulcan Silver
After approximately 8 weeks Riaan was elated to see that the skin was regrowing; meaning there was no skin graft necessary and he was infection free so he could finally schedule the surgery to reattach severed nerves and tendons.

Being on Vulcan Silver Riaan only spent 4 days in hospital and he is going from strength to strength. To completely heal his arm and rid him of infection over a 10 week period cost in the region of R20,000-00. A small price to pay to save a life and a limb. It's very important to note that no antibiotics were used during this process nor stitches or skin grafts. Only Vulcan Silver.

Needless to say, Riaan is absolutely thrilled with the results, especially after the harrowing ordeal he went through with no end in sight until Vulcan Silver gave him hope.

Follow up - 18 April 2018

In October last year we wrote about Riaan van der Westhuizen's terrible ordeal after being severely injured in a highjacking. He got infected with Enterobacter clocae (a very aggressive multi drug resistant bacteria) in hospital and consequently developed sepsis which is often fatal. Doctors wanted to amputate. Last week Riaan sent us a new picture of his arm, pictured below.


As reported in our previous blog post and thanks to Vulcan Silver, his infections cleared up, the wound completely healed without stitches or skin grafts and doctors could do surgery to reattach his severed tendons. However, they made it clear that there is very little hope of him ever getting movement and sensation back as it was doubtful that his nerves would grow back sufficiently. Since then Riaan has faithfully taken his daily doses (3 X 2.5ml) of Vulcan Silver. Despite the fact that the surgeons were sceptical about any feeling returning to the arm and advised that follow up surgeries may be required Riaan is experiencing up to 40% mobility and sensation in his arm and hand. So it was no big surprise to him when the surgeon did a follow up consultation in order to schedule the next surgery, that it was found that in the last 3 months alone his nerves had grown 150mm in length and further surgery was ruled out at this time. With only 250mm of nerves left to form it is now believed that Riaan will make a full recovery.

Riaan is slowly starting to play guitar and perform live again, which has always been one of his passions and something he thought was behind him forever.

Post op infections and wound healing.

Email we received and just had to share (with permission of course):

I am a natural healer practicing in Kimberley northern Cape for 11 years. 2 weeks ago I was approached by a 19 year old girl. She and two of her friends went for breast implants. Two of the girls had healed completely except patient 017/09/14 (hereafter called The patient).

After examination of the patients breast I saw that th
e wound was not
healing well and puss was forming at an alarming rate. I cleaned the wounds regularly but it did not heal properly. Stitches had dissolved and the wound was infected. The patient already had used two sets of antibiotics and was developing symptoms of both vaginal and bladder infection.

I gave the Patient one bottle of Vulcan Silver and advised her to take 50 drops (2.5ml) 3 times a day until the bottle was finished.

Within 4 days the wound showed significant healing, no puss was detected. After 14 days both wounds were closed, no infection to either.

I also tested the patient's urine and found no protein or blood. The
patient's bladder and vaginal infection totally cleared up.

I would therefore recommend Vulcan Silver for both wound healing,
post-operation healing and also in effectively treating bladder and vaginal infections.
