The sore on Catrina Hurlburt's leg simply wouldn't heal.

 

 

 

Complications from a 2002 car accident left Hurlburt, a borderline

diabetic, with recurring cellulitis and staph infections. One of those

infections developed into a troublesome open sore that, despite the use

of oral antibiotics, continued to fester for nearly eight months.

 

 

 

Experts believe that treating wounds with honey has tremendous potential

for the approximately 200 million people in the world with diabetes, 15

percent of whom will develop an ulcer, usually because of impaired

sensation in their feet.

 

 

 

Then Hurlburt's physician, Jennifer Eddy of UW Health's Eau Claire

Family Medicine Clinic, suggested she try using topical honey.

 

 

 

Within a matter of months, the sore had healed completely…

 

 

 

With funding provided by the Wisconsin Partnership Fund for Health and

the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation, Eddy is currently

conducting the first randomized, double-blind controlled trial of honey

for diabetic ulcers…

As a child I watched my grandfather who had a festering bedsore, because of

breaking his hip and the ensuing bedrest necessary to recover, get complete

relief when inadvertently a fly laid maggots which ate all of the pus from the

wound. A book which is really fascinating on the subject of honey and maggots as

therapies is called Honey, Mud and Maggots.

Sounds gross but works really well.

Next time you get bee sting try mud!

Blessings,

Robin
