Supplements that heal - under the knife part 4

Ok this is the last one in this little miniseminar and the topic is now stuff that can help you heal up after surgery and a quick rundown of stuff you can take of mine without much worry around your surgery.

1) Arnica Montana

While my supplements containing this are still under development, this herbal seems to be a great addition to the post-op healing phase and you can start it the day of or 1-day post-op.

It will cut down swelling and may reduce bruising. Don't start it until after your surgery, however.

2) Bromelain

This powerful pineapple derived enzyme is helpful in reducing swelling and soft tissue trauma. Again, wait until after surgery to start and combine with Arnica for a potent one two punch.

3) Copper, Zinc and selenium

Both of these are trace minerals that are required for skin healing and anti-oxidant protection. While it would be hard to find them just by themselves, they are in the Monster Multi mix and even if you stop the multi 3 weeks before surgery there should still be plenty around from taking Monster Multi to get you through until you can restart it 1 to 2 weeks after surgery.

4) Vitamin C

Another key player in skin healing and anti-oxidant health, Vitamin C helps your tissues repair themselves and reduces bruising. Looking down the list of do's and dont's you've no doubt noticed that a lot of Dr Dave's Best supplements should be stopped before your surgery. For more info on this, check out Under the Knife Part 1 and our earlier blog "Under the Knife part 2".

Here are a couple you can take up to within 3 days of an operation and restart after 3 days as well*.

Regenerizer

Instant Einstein

Instant Endurance

As you can see they may help you rejuvenate and bounce back faster.

All the Best, and may you never come under the knife,

Dr Dave
