Vulcan Silver vs Wound Healing - Follow Up

In October last year we wrote about Riaan van der Westhuizen's terrible ordeal after being severely injured in a highjacking. He got infected with Enterobacter clocae (a very aggressive multi drug resistant bacteria) in hospital and consequently developed sepsis which is often fatal. Doctors wanted to amputate. Last week Riaan sent us a new picture of his arm, pictured below.

As reported in our previous blog post and thanks to Vulcan Silver, his infections cleared up, the wound completely healed without stitches or skin grafts and doctors could do surgery to reattach his severed tendons. However, they made it clear that there is very little hope of him ever getting movement and sensation back as it was doubtful that his nerves would grow back sufficiently. Since then Riaan has faithfully taken his daily doses (3 X 2.5ml) of Vulcan Silver. Despite the fact that the surgeons were sceptical about any feeling returning to the arm and advised that follow up surgeries may be required Riaan is experiencing up to 40% mobility and sensation in his arm and hand. So it was no big surprise to him when the surgeon did a follow up consultation in order to schedule the next surgery, that it was found that in the last 3 months alone his nerves had grown 150mm in length and further surgery was ruled out at this time. With only 250mm of nerves left to form it is now believed that Riaan will make a full recovery.

Riaan is slowly starting to play guitar and perform live again, which has always been one of his passions and something he thought was behind him forever.
