My mother has black toes and has been told she has dry gangren. Does anyone have any information concerning this and some natural remedy's for this. We've been told there is nothing they can do because she has other medical problems, circulation problems, diabetes and a pacemaker. We just had a holistic healer come in and we really did see an improvement of her stress level and how tight she was holding herself but it is too soon to tell about the herb mixture she made and put on her toes. I was just wondering if anyone else is going through the same thing and what did you do and the results.

Well medically speaking, gangrene is dead, putrified flesh. I'm not sure what "dry gangrene" is.

If your mom is seeing a holistic doctor, keep right on doing so. You can't expect overnight results so be patient. If the doctor is any good, she'll take your mom's health once step at a time, starting with that which is most life-threatening, then once those are stablized, on to cleanses, diet and the like.
My grandmother had a big toe that was gangrenous and they had to amputate it. That's all I've ever heard of doing for gangrene. You don't want the dead tissue to send its toxins to the rest of the body!
Something natural might be to use hydrogen peroxide or somehow get oxygen to her toes.
