Summary: Listen in as Dr. Mike provides the answers to a wealth of health and wellness questions.Here you'll find the answers to a wealth of health and wellness questions posed by Healthy Talk fans. Listen in because what you know helps ensure healthy choices you can live with. Today on Healthy Talk, you wanted to know: I have a wound that won't heal, and I don't have diabetes. What should I be taking (or not taking) to speed up healing? A non-healing wound is a wound that does not heal, even though it's been given proper time and care to do so. People who are immunosuppressed (e.g., diabetics or other chronic disease sufferers) are more likely to have a non-healing wound. In this case, this person doesn't have diabetes and wants to know what he/she can take. Dr. Mike first wants to read off the most important things to help wound healing. First is calories, carbohydrates, fats, vitamin A, vitamin C, proteins, zinc, and water. If you have a health question or concern, Dr. Mike encourages you to write him at askdrmikesmith@radiomd.com or call in, toll-free, to the LIVE radio show (1.844.305.7800) so he can provide you with support and helpful advice.
