Nostr doctors - what's happening to my finger? And what should I do? It used to be a good finger. Is it gout? Or just warts?

Ooff! How long’s it been like that?

It's been worse like this for a few weeks, but it's been building for ages. I thought it was just getting old - arthritis or something. I'm not 24 any more, but I do pretend I am

Not a doctor, but I’ve dealt with warts in the past and that ain’t one.

Would recommend submitting a pic to AI, or going to a dermatologist

Thanks, but I trust AI even less than I trust doctors

I get that, but it’s a good corroboration tool or a third opinion at least

You're a witch!

Burn the witch!

Have you tried colloidal silver? https://www.organicfacts.net/colloidal-silver.html

I'll give that a go, but if everything fails, amputate

Best to keep the finger tbh. Probably a summer blister or a bit of eczema. Vitamin C for 4 days and or collodial silver could do the trick.

My purchase for 20ppm has been confirmed. I'm double dropping. This is an emergency

Let me know how it goes. I get mine from Clive de Carle https://clivedecarle.com/product/colloidal-silver/ Short explanation https://odysee.com/@ClivedeCarle:1/silver-hb:f

I might start brewing my own if it does the trick

I've been using my 20ppm for 2 days, and it's already looking much better. Very impressed with results so far

That’s great, I’ve heard from people that use it after 4 days you should see good results. That was with 10ppm a day. I’d still cycle through to 4 days though 👍🏽

Yeah, I'll keep going for a lot longer - maybe a few months. It's only silver

I use to get something like that years ago and it itched like a mo fo.

My mate told me to whack it with a Bible

Maybe it's a sign that I'm not swimming in the sea enough? I'm a grear believer in the healing powers of wind n sea. I reckon it's the saltyness

Not a doctor but gotta clip that pinky nail. And hope someone helps w the other finger growth. 🙏

Not a doctor, and maybe not real

I'd suggest these to be frozen in a clinical setting - they will just drop off. Or sometimes salicylic acid is prescribed (salactol paint).

you'd be a lot more pain if it was gout - and its usually the joint that saffected (not superficial). Typically affects big toe (distal interphalangeal joint).

Hey Dave, I'd still recommend you get an in person check up. Anyways, how long have you had it? Does it come and go? Does it hurt or itch? Does it limit the movement of your finger?Do you usually handle certain chemicals? Has it appeared in other areas? Is there a water like fluid inside the lesions or any type of secretion? Do you have any other diagnosed diseases or medications you are taking?

I know these are a lot of questions and many more could and should be asked, which is why a consultation with some healthcare professional could be helpful, at least for being able to receive a diagnosis. As for treatment options, I would consider alternative health strategies. Things like DMSO + ivermectin paste have potent antiinflammatory properties for certain skin conditions.

Thanks for answering, Fernando. The bone feels as though it has been growing thicker for a few years, and movement in the finger has got worse and worse (although I can still move it - it is just 'stiff'). The lesions have only just appeared, and something is inside them, but to me, it doesn't feel like liquid. I wouldn't call it 'painful', but it feels 'sharp' (crystals?), and that's why I wondered if it was gout. I do enjoy drinking beer. I take no medicines and I have no diseases and I don't work with chemicals

I just assumed it was some kind of arthritis before the lesions developed. Some of my other fingers feel as though they are heading in the same direction as this one (less movement, and same 'sharp' sensation when I touch the joint)

I do appreciate your advice. Thanks!

It does sound like gout according to what you're telling me and the chronic evolution. The skin lesions could be the crystals breaking through the skin. Either way, you need to have a it checked to confirm the diagnosis. Alcoho and fructose is going to be the biggest factor if it is gout, but it doesn't necessarily have to be uric acid that is the culprit, it could also be oxalates. Do you have a history of eating high oxalate foods over the years like cacao, beans, spinach, almonds, cashews, peanuts, sweet potatoes, beets, green smoothies, dried fruits, chia, kiwi, grains, etc? I recommend reading Toxic Superfoods by Sally Norton if you want to learn more about oxalates.

I don't really eat the high oxalate foods. My diet is mostly minced beef. I'm going to try rubbing on some colloidal silver as an ointment and I might try NaClO2 + HCl, which I found on Laser's post

That's a good starting point, but I would highly encourage cutting down on the beer/alcohol, at least for a month. If you know the importance of sunlight and avoiding blue light/artificial light, especially at sun down, now is the time to fully implement best practices.

You can also experiment with DMSO: https://shopbplife.com/collections/dmso

You can dilute it 1:1 with distilled water and rub it on the joint and leave it there for 20-30min and then wash off once a day. Make sure to wash the area thoroughly before applying. If you want an extra antiinflammatory boost, you can mix it with ivermectin horse paste. I recommend you follow Dr. Makis on substack or twitter if you want to learn more, Dr. Jack Kruse has spoken positively about the guy.

What do you think about chlorine dioxide? I am researching it, but I am not sure I'll try it out as the mechanism it is supposed to work does not really seem logical. Also how is it supposed to work all over the body if itis swallowed?

I work with a clinic that uses it on patients, mainly orally. I personally don't have any experience with it but I see the testimonies and I've been reading into it a bit for the last few months. My take is that the best use case for it is injecting it directly into tumors. there's a Chinese researcher, Xuewu Liu, who is seeing great results and is looking to create a standardized protocol for treating certain cancers.

So basically, I am not seeing terrible or irreversible health outcomes for those taking it, like the FDA states, and there seem to be promising results in certain conditions. I actually can't find 2 FDA articles that spoke up against the dangers of chlorine dioxide, I even asked AI to help me find it, it would give the supposed link but when opening it, I'd get "page not found". So that's interesting.

Do you know where they source it? Is it a stand alone product or is it like the covid fad where you get two chemicals and mix them to create the ClO2 as a biproduct?

Good question, since I work with them on the telemedicine side, I haven't physically seen their product nor have I prescribed it. But now I'm curious.

Would love to know the details. My dad is a distributor of a standalone version of chlorine dioxide. The story he told me is that his business partner is the chemical engineer who figured out how to make it as that-shelf stable. Allegedly he holds the patent for both that product and the process by which to make it. They've spent years going to prisons and schools, both of whom didn't like the idea of paying less for more because as I'm sure you know, if they don't spend their funding this year, they get less next year. Fiat incentives. I've personally seen that part in action. A federal court house in Columbia, Tennessee had us come do electrical work, in a building that should absolutely be demolished and rebuilt if anything, because they wanted to keep getting the Fed bucks. But yeah, as a disinfectant, it absolutely is available as a shelf stable product. But changing systems is like steering an aircraft carrier.

Just chop it off, chief.

1 month after nostr doctors.....I might have to chop it off. It's looking awful - chopoffable.
