Prevention of infection : Pre surgical recommendations
In order to reduce the risk of infection and stimulate ideal healing, it is recommended to prepare your body for surgery. Here are the recommendations for the three days preceding and the three days following the intervention:
- Reduce, or ideally eliminate, consumption of sugar, alcohol, coffee, soft drinks, white flour and processed foods.
- Ensure daily bowel movements. If bowel movement is slow, take one teaspoon of psyllium in one once of water twice a day: shake well and drink rapidly or supplement with 300mg magnesium citrate or chelate per meal.
- Drink one to two liters of pure water every day.
- Sleep at least 8 hours a day.
- Supplement your diet with EVC (SISU) : 1 tablet per meal - to prevent infection.
- For even better results, add Vitamin C : 1 gram the fifth day before the operation, 2 grams the day after, increase to 5 grams the day before the operation, continue with 6 grams afterwards only. Decrease gradually to 2 grams within 2 weeks.
