Colleague's Severe Fingernail Infection/Acute Paronychia & Lymphangitis Cleared in 90 minutes

So I’ve been using CD for various ailments for some time, with great success, and my work colleagues come to me with various afflictions…

Recently after a long weekend, a colleague came into the office with a pretty severe case of acute paronychia (ingrown fingernail with infection of the skin around the fingernail). It had become somewhat ingrown, was heavily infected, abscessed, and had become significantly inflamed. His pain was pretty significant. He had put off caring for it for days, and it was bad.

The primary finger was swollen – bright red, perhaps 50% enlarged, fingers on both sides were swollen, and the entire hand was swollen. The fingertip itself was massively engorged with infection – yellow around the nail, but massively bubbled out.

In addition, he had signs of lymphangitis – bright red burning streaks up his arm. It had been apparently growing worse for days and he had postponed any treatment. I knew this was a bad sign, as red streaks generally mean infection is traveling into the lymphatic system – which can become deadly if not treated quickly.

I was unsure if the CD would offer any immediate relief, and told him he may need to go get emergency service, as he could potentially have a real crisis.

I made a batch of 20+20 (20 drops + 20 drops), put it in a whiskey tumbler (~ 5oz size).. He wiped his finger down with DMSO (I always keep some in my office for burns and other issues), then submerged the finger in the water. I told him to keep it submerged for 30 minutes, but if it wasn’t better, I was going to call 911 for him, or force him to go to the ED.

After approx 20 minutes he walked back in my office – the swelling was starting to drop a bit, and some redness diminishing. His pain was reduced a bit, and the red lines up the arm were becoming less apparent.

We made a fresh batch at the 30 minute mark – another 20+20, and this time he dipped his finger in DMSO for a few seconds (5 ish) prior to putting it back into the whiskey tumbler of CD. He headed back to his office, finger in the tumbler, with a wet cloth over the top (minimize off-gassing).

About 20 minutes later he stopped back by. By this time much of the swelling had diminished, and the red lymphangitis lines had nearly all disappeared. His pain was significantly lower.

I knew by then we were going to lick it, but wanted to be sure, so I prepared A THIRD batch of 20+20. And he dipped his finger in DMSO again for a few seconds, before submerging it in the new batch.

Approx 15 minutes later he walked in my office, his finger wrapped in a paper towel. The abscess had ruptured on its own, and had dumped a significant amount of pus out. The red lymphangitis lines were completely gone. The rest of his hand was no longer appearing puffy and red, and only the end of his finger was still swollen.

He cleaned his hand up from the pus, put it back in the CD, and kept it there for another hour while working.

By the time he left that afternoon he had no redness or swelling at all, his hand had no pain, and the only tenderness was right at the fingernail. It was fully healed by the next morning when he came to work.
