Cuts

A diet rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, and zinc enhances wound healing.  Foods high in these nutrients include green and yellow vegetables, raw seeds and nuts, eggs, and cold-water fish, as well as fresh organic fruits and vegetables. Be sure to include pineapple in your fruit intake, it contains bromelain which is known to aid the healing process.

Vitamin K is another important vitamin that helps in blood clotting – foods such cabbage, broccoli,

lettuce and seaweed are good choices.

Avoid all saturated and processed fats, as well as refined and processed foods, sugars, caffeine, tobacco, and alcohol.

It is important to not add further toxicity to your system when your body is trying to heal so also to adhere to the following:

• Do not consume any artificial sweeteners, such as Splenda, NutraSweet or Aspartame

• Do not consume high fructose corn syrup or mono-sodium glutamate.

• Do not drink any carbonated beverages.

• Avoid all fast food restaurants.

• Avoid all canned food.

• Eliminate conventional dairy products.  The best dairy products are raw, unpasteurised and homogenised dairy from grass fed cows.  If this is unavailable, then buy organic dairy.

Supplements:

For severe cuts: supplement with vitamin A, vitamin C, pantothenic acid, and zinc.

For cuts that are slow to heal: increase your vitamin C intake to three to six times daily, and add proteolytic enzymes (three to four times daily, on empty stomach, until healing gets well underway). You might also consider supplementing with arginine, an amino acid that improves both the speed and quality of wound healing.

As well as the above supplements, also include the following to speed up healing:

• Take Vitamin D3 50,000-100,000 International Units a day for periods of 4 weeks at a time.
