Week 5: Back to my routine

This is the 5th week. My leg feels much better than last week. I resumed my usual routine of taking care of my leg. So, I will share my routine.

Of course, I am wearing the Oxygener bracelet for 6 days out of the week. I also rub some Per Te cream on my skin on my right leg once or twice per day. Per Te cream is actually a product that the Oxygener inventor, Peter Chang, created. Sometimes, I put Herbalife aloe gel on the skin. Also, to make sure I have proper nutrition, I drink a Herbalife shake every morning for breakfast. My lunch and dinner are normal meals here in Taiwan.

Since, I have not needed to walk so much this past week, my skin has had time to heal.

Week 4: A minor setback

This week is the 4th week. At the beginning of the week, my wife wore the Oxygener bracelet for about a day and a half, and she said she felt a difference when she wore it.

Our family took a trip to Bangkok for 8 days and 7 nights for a long-deserved family vacation. It was during this vacation that my right leg suffered some setbacks. First, I made a mistake by bringing a new pair of shoes to wear during my trip. I didn't realize the the shoe was size 9, and I needed size 9 1/2. It was a tight squeeze for me to wear the shoes for 8 days, especially when I needed to walk for several miles every day in Bangkok. My feet became swollen each day, and the socks and shoes rubbed into my skin, causing abrasion. Also, because of the daily swelling, my leg was itchier than normal. One night, while watching the movie, "The Hangover" in my hotel room, I started scratching my leg. I didn't realize I was scraping skin off of my leg.

Now, I am back in Taiwan, and my leg looks worse than before I left on my trip. I am not discouraged. I made some poor choices. Now I am wearing the right size shoes, and I am not walking so much.  I can actually rest my leg, so I expect things will get better within a few weeks.

My scabs are already starting to peel off.

Week 3: A little itching

All I do know is that usually when I haven't taken antibiotics for so long, my leg becomes very itchy. The itch is much milder than the last time I went off antibiotics.

I just had my day where I took the Oxygener off for a day. I let my wife wear it.

Week 2: Any sign of improvement?

The front of my lower right leg.

I am in the second week of my trial using the Oxygener. I can't really see my own rashes on my leg, so I am also relying on these photos to see any change.  Does it look like there is any change? It has only been a week since I started using the product. And I took it off on Sunday as they recommended.  It is good to give the nervous system a little rest. Well, in the top photo, there seems to be an improvement in the reddish area on the foot. Also, further up the shin, there seems to be a slight improvement in color. In the bottom photo, there seems to be a slight improvement in the color in the top part of the rash. I will just have to wait until next week to see if the trend continues.

The benefit of healing my leg is my top priority, but I have recognized other benefits so far. I am less prone to exhaustion, and that means I can be more productive. I had a very productive week last week. But this week, I came down with a serious cold, with sneezing, slight cough, and a high fever. , After resting for one day, it is almost gone.

I am happy with the results so far. I will keep you posted.

DAY 7

I came down with a bad cold. After staying up late for 3 days to enjoy the Sigang Temple Festival, my immune system may have been more susceptible to catching a cold. It was pretty serious, with sneezing, light cough and high fever. But I went to bed early and stayed in bed until 10 am the next day, and it is almost gone.
