Comment on A Documentary about Lyme Disease and the Health Care System: Under Our Skin by Dorie Thurston

There is a simple cure for lymes disease. Drink lots of pure cranberry juice and orange juice. It turns your body acidic which kills germs. Eat a low carbohydrate diet to keep your body acidic. I realized it helped when I was taking cranberry juice for a bladder infection. I had pins and needles sensations in my legs even after taking dozycycline, and the doctors did not want to give me another dose. I also realized that I was reinfecting myself with my razor when I shaved my legs and the tingling needles came back. I had to disinfect the razor.

Yes, the DryPro can be used in a Hot Tub, just remember that you may sweat a little inside the cover because of the heat. The seal will remain and the material is not effected by the heat.

I used the DryPro cast cover on my cast. I fractured my 5th metatarsal playing football. I went three weeks without the DryPro. I just got it today and it is awsome. It mekes everything easyer. Bathing, swimming and all other water activites.

Comment on Ostomy by Barbara Poolos

For weeks after my ileostomy,I found that the hardest thing to deal with was taking care of my skin. This is what helped heal my skin. I would take a long shower,using a detachable shower-head that could make a circular spay of water;therefore,avoiding the actual stoma itself.The warm water gently massaged the skin around the stoma,increasing the blood flow to the area(to hurry the healing process),and soothed my burning & itching skin. After the shower, I used a blow dryer to gently dry the area, while I stood over a tall plastic trash can & used lots of Kleenex(holding it under my stoma to catch any leakage). I then lay on my side on an area of my bed that I had covered with plastic-backed liners. I kept the skin exposed for about 1/2 hour to a lamp with a 40 watt bulb. I kept clean Kleenex under the stoma.or used Q-tips to temporarily plug the stoma opening. Then, making sure that my skin was still absolutely clean&dry,I used Karaya powder on it,which I sealed on the skin,by dabbing Skin Prep on top. I used my blow dryer on the area,then applied another layer of Karaya & Skin Prep. When dry, I put my disposable Hollister bag on. When I changed the bag in a day or two, my skin would have miraculously healed underneath the tape. It was very important to catch a leak ASAP, remove the old bag,& repeat the shower/open air&low heat skin exposure. I think Karaya is a miracle healing powder!! Also,after surgery,my body was lacking so many vitamins,minerals,etc.,that I took liquid supplements. Check with your doctor. I think vitamins C,E,A,K,B complex(esp. biotin & niacin), along with the minerals selenium,copper,zinc, & essential fatty acids(Omega 3 & Omega 6) are good. I was also very low in potassium,which the doctor prescribed. If you’ve been inside for a long time,your vitamin D is probably low. I recently read that lysine helped relieve skin inflammation. Anyway, my final thoughts are that your sister’s skin needs exposure to fresh air & very low heat, instead of being enclosed in plastic. I hope this email reaches you,and that you & your sister find it helpful. I think that it is wonderful that you are being such a big help to your sister. Is there an enterstomal therapist at the hospital where your sister was operated on?? The doctor knows how to do the operation,but is not well-informed about post-op skin conditions. The post-op experts are other ostomates, enterstomal nurses(or therapists),and,usually, at least one of the employees at an ostomy supply store. I wish that I had seen your email earlier in the summer. It’s been 2 1/2 months since you posted, and I pray that you received some earlier advice. The summer heat can sometimes cause sweating and heat rashes beneath the bag. I hope that all is well with your family.

DryPro is by far, one of the best products I have experienced as a result of a sports injury. After tearing my achilles tendon and wearing a full leg cast, I thought my days of being able to shower/bathe, and be in the water were over for the next 8 months! After wrestling with the old trash bag and tape method, I immediately discovered DryPro! I was so impressed after my first use, that I became a reseller of their products, to offer our patients and existing customers the same freedom that many other DryPro users have experienced already! Nothing else on the market even compares to DryPro!

Comment on Broken Arm or Broken Leg? by Mitch Graham

Hey!
I broke my right arm in May and ordered a Dry Pro waterproof cast cover! The Dry Pro saved my summer since I was able to swim in the ocean without any problems even though I had to wear a cast! I was also able to teach my little daughter how to swim and we had a great time. This wouldn’t have been possible without this great product! The Dry Pro is an awesome product and I highly recommend it!
Thanks a lot for saving my summer!

What an ingenious product! You totally saved my summer! I broke my arm toward the end of May and was so bummed out that I wouldn’t be able to go to the pool (which is where I spend most of my summer). Fortunately, a friend of mine recommended your product so I bought the DryPro cast protector right away! I am so glad I did. It was a true investment in my personal and mental health. I have already told so many about your product and will continue to recommend your product every chance I get.

Thanks so much DryCorp!!!!
