    Pine needles contain large amounts of vitamin C, and steeping them in hot water releases the nutrient. The tea provides the complete vitamin C complex, not simply isolated ascorbic acid as you would get in a vitamin C tablet.

    I had to make the same decision for the Drs to take my leg as well shortly after I turned 18 so pretty much the same age but I had been dealing with an infection for years before they approached me to make the decision to take my leg and they waited until the infection got into the bone before they said that there was nothing else they could do besides taking the leg from below the knee just like yours and that Alligator story is amazing and I have to say I've done some crazy things like that with my fake leg but nothing as crazy as that

    Same kind of hunting accident happened to my grandfather when he was a young man. Except he shot himself in the leg with bird shot tripping over a root. Luckily he kept the leg but he had circulation issues with it the rest of his life.
