Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder. More than 100 million people throughout the world today suffer from various complications of the disease. Among the most severe complications associated with diabetes mellitus are the deep tissue lesions of the foot known collectively as "diabetic foot." Until recently, the lack of an effective therapy for diabetic foot has led many patients with such complications down an inexorable and tragic path toward amputation of the foot. Carbon dioxide foot bath therapy was developed as a means for healing diabetic foot and other ischemic ulcers. This web site has been created to disseminate knowledge on the principles and effectiveness of CO2 foot bath therapy, and on the methods and precautions involved in its use. It is our sincere hope that the site will serve as a useful resource for patients afflicted with diabetic foot, for medical professionals involved in its treatment, and for the many other individuals concerned about this problem.
