Toss that Expensive Foot Cream!

After approximately 5 decades (and several foot doctors) - I have finally learned how to cure abrasions, roughness, painful cracked heels, etc. on my feet.
After a considerable length of time thinking about how much money this would be worth to the one or two people that read my blog - I decided to give the info away for nada! I mean, how much can you make from maybe two semi-avid followers....?

So, here is the miracle treatment: Aloe Vera gel.
Surprise, surprise! Once again we can say "screw you!" to the pharmacist and the drug companies! Instead, we can dole out a couple of bucks ($5.95) to our local Nursery for a live, healthy Aloe Vera plant, slice off a chunk or two and stick it to the problem area.

I feel really stupid for not thinking about trying this stuff before; I have used Aloe Vera for minor burns and abrasions for years - I guess I just didn't have much faith for the bigger things Mother Nature can do.

Here's a display (rather poor photos but - oh well..) of one of my heel cracks and the under the foot abrasion: Not pretty - that's for sure; and it is amazing how much it hurts!


I went to my foot specialist (about to be my ex-specialist) and was told I needed Surgery to remove the nerve that was "causing the pain". But, although the jury is still out, I think it was not the nerve but perhaps the topical stuff. As one of my favorite aunts used to say, "Can I be angry?"
Yes, you flipping right I can!




You can see how this aloe stuff is done; cut off a piece and rub the sticky goo on the affected area. Trust me, in a short time the area will feel better. it is truly amazing! Yes, I know - I am a simple guy..



Anyhow, my feet now feel a hell of a lot better and I will let you all know how everything works out. I promise not to send more gross photos... Well, maybe just a couple.
