A member asked:

How effective is terrasil (all natural silver+oxygen skin cream) for leg ulcers?

Depends on cause: Leg ulcers due to arterial disease (blocked artery to leg) the block in the artery must be treated first. If the ulcer is due to venous disease, pressure bandages and elevating the leg as much as possible. In either case the terrasil is of minimal use.
