Clinical Pearls

Wound Healing Protocol

To take at least one week before surgery and during the healing period afterwards.

1. 5,000 – 10,000 mg vitamin C daily

2. 2,000 – 5,000 vitamin D3 daily

3. Vitamin A: 5,000 iu daily

4. Vitamin E: take only after surgery due to potential effects on blood clotting: 400 – 800 iu daily

5. B-complex vitamins: 100 mg complex daily

6. Zinc: 30 mg daily

In addition, I recommend using homeopathic remedies to aid in the healing and pain relief. A combination of the following usually works well: Arnica/Ledum/Staphisagria: I recommend 200 c, to be taken as needed. This may eliminate the need for other pain control methods.
