Apply honey on diabetic ulcers will heal without treatment to "amputation" (amputation of hands and feet) to avoid gangrene? A US medical testing methods, according to the AFP news agency on April 4/5 ...
Female Professor (GS) Jennifer Eddy, School of Medicine and Public
Health, University of Wisconsin, USA, was used honey to heal wounds
ulcers of diabetic patients, helping them not Amputation due to
infection and gangrene of the wound.
This treatment is very simple. Physicians should only cover 1 layer of honey thickened sores after disinfecting the wound and removal of dead cells.
Prof. Eddy said honey has antibacterial effects because honey has high acidity, low water content and containing hydrogen peroxide is produced from its natural enzymes. Moreover, the use of honey also helps prevent drug resistance of bacteria to antibiotics.
In diabetic patients, the ability to fight infection was impaired. Therefore, when they are injured or sore lesions that are difficult to treat and often very slow to heal. When severe wound infection and gangrene spread, the amputation is difficult to avoid. Mrs. Eddy said today every 30 seconds went by, then there is a case of amputation occurs somewhere in the world.
6 years ago, Professor Eddy has used honey to heal a persistent ulcers in diabetic foot a 79-year-old.
She said: "Because of resistance, all antibiotics have become disabled for this wound. After the failure of all other therapies, I was thinking of honey. During wound up honey, I do not for patients taking any antibiotic drugs. Fortunately happened: the ulcer was completely healed within a short time. "

Experts believe that the therapeutic
wound with honey will open up tremendous opportunities for
approximately 200 million diabetics worldwide, including about 30
million people with ulcers.
After the initial success is excited, Professor Eddy is preparing to conduct a large trial to widespread adoption of this therapy in the treatment of wound healing, especially in people with diabetes. She said: "How fast healing is an extremely important issue for human health."
To participate in this trial, patients must be over 18, diabetes, ulcers are at the bottom of the knee and not taking Prednisone.
Professor Eddy hopes to complete the test and study results published in 2008 or 2009.
