gangrene spreads rapidly in the body, if he doesn't have the affected limbs amputated, the infection will spread to the rest of his body and kill him. You aren't doing him any favors by so much as suggesting he not get the recommended treatment.

Gangrene is nothing less than tissue death. You can't bring dead tissue back to life. Gangrene is also a creeping disease, so the doctors have no choice but to sever the limbs otherwise the disease process will progress and kill your friend.
The very best way to help him is to comfort him. He is going to be going through a lot psychologically. He will be experiencing grief over the loss of his legs. He will also be dealing with, what we call, disturbed body image, which is a fancy way of saying that he's going to have issues with the way he looks. He's going to need help coping physically as well. He'll need to learn to do things as an amputee. There is a whole lot you can do to help him, the most important of which is to just be there and be his friend. That counts for a whole lot.

Open up a vitamin e capsule and spread it on the area with a q-tip. I was taught that in school...and supposedly it works great.
