Sugar is used in African countries as a natural cure for wounds, leg sores and leg ulcers. The sugar is sprinkled on to the wound and this draws all the moisture out. Bacteria needs water to be able to survive, and because there is no moisture the wound heals.
A six month study has been done at Selly Oak hospital in Birmingham involving 21 patients whose wound had not responded to conventional treatment. The study showed that sprinkling sugar on to the wound kills the bacteria that prevents healing. It is said that the natural treatment of sugar could save the NHS billions of pounds.
You may know an older person who has a leg wound, or leg ulcer that just will not heal, this can cause considerable pain. Try sprinkling a little sugar to the wound along with vitamin c supplement 1-3 grams per day taken orally and see if this provides relief from the condition. Please feel free to comment on this.
