I have had a benign cyst on my back near the top of my left shoulder for quite some time.

It became infected, very red looking, large, and painful. I had it lanced in the doctor’s office and figured it would just heal on its own. What I did not realize was how deep the cyst was and how big a hole it had left.

As we live in the country, a nurse came daily to clean the wound and do the dressing. The first day she told me that it was very deep and would definitely take at least 6 weeks if not more to heal. She also told me there was a high risk that it would become infected as wounds of this nature usually do. The nurse suggested that to speed up the process I should be having extra protein, and she recommended that I eat lots of sausage! “Not about to happen in our home!” said my wife Darlene.

My wife and I have been AIM members for many years. She suggested that in addition to taking my one tablespoon of AIM BarleyLife® in the morning that I also take another tablespoon in the afternoon. This would help with inflammation in the wound area. Darlene also suggested that I take AIM ProPeas®, AIM’s vegetable protein, much better than the sausage idea. I decided to take her advice.

The wound was completely healed in four weeks; there was no infection at any time. There was a rotation of two nurses, and both of them were amazed at how quickly healing took place, especially the fact that infection did not develop. Thanks, AIM, for quality products that work!
