Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

I came across this product at a local medical supply store.  The salesperson said everyone that tried it had great luck with the product.

I bought some to treat a bedsore my Dad had developed.  This bedsore had moved into a stage 4 ulcer.  It was the size of a quarter and nearly 1/2 inch deep.

I started using this formula 3 weeks ago and the sore is nearly gone.  Previously, I had used another product recommended by his DR. for 4 weeks with no luck.

Not only is this good for bedsores but it is good for any wounds.  The testimonials show people get great results within a few days.  The main ingredient is Aloe Vera oil along with other herbs.

Here's the website for the product: www.bedsoresolutions.com   It's a little expensive but you don't have to use much for it to work.

I'm sending this only as information about a product I found that works well.  I have no financial interest in this product.

Bear,

Strange things are happening this evening.  I've tried your link and it doesn't work for me.  I even tried putting "thehealingformula.com" in the url address line and went nowhere.  However, I did find a product by that name at the link below.  Is this the same stuff?

I located this item: Vermont's Bag Balm made in Lyndonville; VT. It has no odor; will not stain clothes. It heals small cuts and scrapes; soothes burns and helps in the removal of splinters by softening the skin. It can be found in most agricultural stores.

Don't forget Boudreaux's Butt Paste. Rash has no chance against this stuff.

It looks like great stuff. It would be good just to have on hand. I wish I had seen this for my mom. Thanks for sharing.

I have the Bag Balm and used it for my hands. I was a hairstylist for 36 years so it is a lifesaver.

Out our way in Oklahoma, there is a product called "Udderly Smooth" udder cream that I tend to use some when the skin next to my right thumbnail cracks open and really gets sore.

Just for grins and giggles, I went into a pharmacy in a small town in the Oklahoma Panhandle a few years back.  Even though I grew up in that part of the country I got myself embarrassed when I asked for the Udderly Smooth.  I couldn't find the stuff in the tube and finally asked the saleslady if they had some.

Well, there was about 3 or 4 ladies in there and sensed that I was maybe a bit shy about asking for udder cream.  They kidded me relentlessly with comments about my hands and where they thought I ought to apply the "udder" cream.  The bad thing is that I knew the family of one of the ladies.

I'm sure glad I gave them all a good laugh that day.

Terry

Usually its a combination of circulation, and keeping the area clean. Have seen people put NEW SKIN which is super glue on cuts, and them heal in record time. Surgions are doing this for surgeries that can seal up and heal up fast. Wound treatment is tricky. Work at a VA hospital and we get this a lot from the demographic of elderly patients.

What I can say is what others are recommending. The ointments are sterile, so your tissue can migrate through the sterile area, and start sealing the wound and regenerating. Best advice is to never give up on getting the healing done. And please massage and exercise the close by tissues to keep body fluids flowing.
