    I have not used or heard of.
    I have not used or heard of. Well maybe now that I think of it. Are you doing this? ....They did do something on my broken foot a couple of years ago. I know its different but kind of the same. The bone had no growth after 2 1/2 months so when the put the plate and screws in they used something like this to stimulate growth. Or something like that. I think what you say sounds good, especially if you have a big opening. Mine grew back together and is flat scars. Looks much better than I thought it would. Oh ya Pete...I watched your video! Great story my friend!

    Love and hugs, Gail

    the story was a good distraction, seems like a long longggg time
    thanks gail,
    asked surgeon, suspected noone here would have answers. i feel like a real trail blazer.
    my ND was so keen on collagen pro, asked my surgeon, no comment, not heard of, i offered to email evidence. so calling ND to manaufacturer to supply evidence for wound healing. will also keep trying myself but have had no luck myself.

    i want a top class surgical guru with an open mind.
    i want a couple of top ND's who have the willingness to provide evidence to my doctors.

    hugs,

    pete
