Pam Mitchell talks about maggot therapy

Hi I just happened to come across this site. My name is Pam Mitchell and I am in the article from the USA Today that is posted. In response to your posting--Yes, maggot therapy is kinda gross but what would you do to save your feet from amputation? The doctors wanted to amputate within 2 days, when I heard about maggot therapy and how widely it is used in Europe and other countries. I had to ask, ask and ask again to have my docs use this therapy on my feet. At first I was grossed out but after the first 2 times I was thrilled. I could see my feet improving with each treatment. Just for the record the maggots are so tiny at first you can hardly see them. They are in for only 2 days and they are sealed so they cannot get out. Actually, they don't want out, when they are feasting on the infection,etc. They also worked on my 1/2" of exposed bone and cleared up my osteomyelitis(bone infection) The IV Antibiotics they had me on also gave me a rare bone marrow disease. MDS!(They wanted to do a bone marrow transplant) The didn't know it at the time till the maggots cleared up the osteo and they took me off the Antibiotic and the MDS cleared up, also.Hey drugs aren't always the answer are they? So yea I would rather use something out there in nature that God made than something man came up with that doesn't work as well. Actually as you can see the maggots not only saved my feet but probably my life. They are a lot cheaper than conventional methods. I probably spent about $2,000. for the 10-12 treatments of maggot therapy compared to the $30,00.-$40,000. for the conventional treatments for the 1-2 yr. period before I learned about maggot therapy. Hey sorry so long but I have a story to tell to help others know their options before they go through amputation.
