Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Diabetics are prone to foot ulcerations due to both neurologic and vascular complications. Peripheral neuropathy causes altered or complete loss of sensation in the foot or leg. The diabetic with advanced neuropathy looses all sharp-dull discrimination. Any cuts or trauma to the foot can go completely unnoticed for days or weeks in a patient with neuropathy. It is common to have a patient with neuropathy tell you that the ulcer "just appeared" when, in fact, the ulcer has been present for quite some time. The charcot foot deformity occurs as a result of decreased sensation. People with "normal" feeling in their feet automatically determine when too much pressure is being placed on an area of the foot. Once identified, our bodies instinctively shift position to relieve this stress. A patient with advanced neuropathy looses this important mechanism. As a result, tissue ischemia and necrosis occur leading to plantar ulcerations. Microfractures in the bones of the foot go unnoticed and untreated, resulting in disfigurement, chronic swelling and additional bony prominences.

The most frequent underlying etiologies of diabetes foot ulcers are neuropathy, trauma, deformity, high plantar pressures and peripheral arterial disease. Other factors in ulceration are ischemia, callus formation, and edema. Although infection is rarely implicated in the etiology of diabetic foot ulcers, the ulcers are susceptible to infection once the wound is present. Many of the risk factors for foot ulcer are also predisposing factors for amputation, because ulcers are primary causes leading to amputation.

Divine Noni in Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Divine Noni is rich in amino acids. Xeronine, the alkaloid of Divine Noni enhances the enzyme activity and protein structure. Therefore it helps for tissue repairing and wound healing associated with diabetic gangrene.

Divine Noni stimulates the body's production of nitric oxide, a chemical which allows the blood vessels to dilate more easily and be more elastic. In other words, it acts as a vaso dilator. The foot ulcer due to peripheral ischaemic condition can be controlled by Divine Noni as it stimulates the body's production of nitric oxide that acts like a vaso dilator. White blood cells in the body use nitric oxide to kill infectious agents like bacteria, fungi and parasites. Hence nitric oxide present in Divine Noni also helps to prevent infection in case, diabetes foot sores.

Scopoletin present in Divine Noni has a wide potential action. It acts like a vasodilator having anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and thus helps in healing of the foot ulcers.

Acubin, L-asperuloside and alizarin in Noni fruit, and some other anthraquinone compounds in Divine Noni, are all proven antibacterial agents. These compounds show to fight against infectious bacteria strains such as, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Baciillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Shigela etc. These antibacterial elements within Divine Noni help to control infections associated with diabetes ulcer.

Noni controls diabetes : Xeronine, the alkaloid of Noni in the presence of insulin activates the peripheral cell membrane insulin receptors and helps for normal intracellular absorption of glucose and corrects the intracellular post receptor defect of the action of insulin for carbohydrate metabolism and thus prevents the insulin resistance in Type II Diabetes Mellitus. Noni works as a 'Healthy, Immune System Promoter. Current studies revealed that Noni may help promote a healthy immune system either by enhancing an already functioning system or by stimulating a sluggish one. Noni activating our body immune system may improve the non functioning beta cells of the pancreas to an active form to produce the normal insulin from the beta cells and also maintain a normal insulin level in the blood to response of the carbohydrate diet. Low Glycemic Index of a 3:1 ratio of carbohydrates to fiber in Noni juice helps balance blood glucose level. With the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer, the blood sugar should be within the normal range.

The body immunity power also has a major role in healing process of diabetes foot ulcer. Divine Noni boosts the body's cell mediated immunity. It stimulates the thymus gland to secret more T cells and thus increases the cells immunity.

Divine Noni is rich with all major and micronutrients. It is a complete food supplement and provides all the essential nutrients to our body i.e. to our cells. Hence it is a cellular nutrition.
