Sugar, it turns out, removes fluid from the wound and prevents bacteria that need water from multiplying. As a result, pathogens die. Clinical trials speak of a promising approach.
In particular, one patient, 62-year-old Alan Bayliss, experienced partial amputation of his right leg and removal of a vein in his left leg. It was the operation on the left leg that led to the formation of a serious wound that could not heal in any way.
It was decided to speed up healing with sugar. They put a bandage on my leg. The wound was so deep that the first bandage took almost a whole can of sugar. But after two weeks, the doctors were already using only 4-5 teaspoons.
Control studies are now halfway through at three West Midlands hospitals. To date, 35 people have successfully tested sugar therapy. Doctors note that the treatment had a positive effect not only on the physical, but also on the emotional state of the patients.
The pioneering doctor was a black physician, Moses Murandu, who was originally from Zimbabwe. From childhood, he watched his grandfather, a medicine man, successfully use sugar to heal wounds.
Murandu, who is the head of the Department of Nursing at the University of Wolverhampton, is very pleased with the positive clinical trials of the sugar method and says his mentees are also very excited.
