Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Interesting story, but it would be far inferior to HONEY. Honey has its own natural antibiotic properties. Not that I'd complain. I'm all for that which works. Love, Doc Doc Shillington727-447-5282Doc - Barb Leppky Undisclosed-Recipient:; Tuesday, February 07, 2006 5:08 PM Herbal Remedies - Sugar, as a wound dressing This is a true story. In 1993 my mother was rushed to a major hospital here in Canada. She was suffering from acute pancreatitis. They stabilized her and sometime during the next few weeks they saw fit to amputate one of her legs due to poor circulation. She became bedridden. As most of you know that spells trouble - ulcers (otherwise known as bedsores). I lived 1,200 miles away and could not be there from the beginning, but my bro was there. I spent a few days with her over X-mas and had to get home again (had 3 young children). In time her pancreas acted up again and they scheduled another operation. I flew back to be with her and as I walked through the hospital elevator doors, there sat my mom in a wheel chair with tears rolling down her cheeks. I asked her what was wrong. She said "Barb, my bum hurts me so much. Please help me." She was referring to her bedsore which the doctors had assured us was getting better. I asked the nurse if I could she her bedsore. The nurse was more than obliging. I couldn't believe my eyes!! I could see her tailbone!! Needless to say I was furious but said nothing at that time because she was going under the doctor's knife the next day. When she returned to the ward I began the fight to have sugar used as a wound dressing. I found an article in "Health and Healing" written by Dr. Julian Whitaker in Sept. 1993 (or maybe 1992) on just this subject. After a week of fighting with hospital administration, we were finally allowed to use sugar. We followed the protocol as outlined in the Research Papers which we found in the Medical Mafia's own medical library! Yes, that's right. There was a 5 year study done on the use of sugar as a wound dressing. The results were amazing. So too, were they for my mother. She began to heal beautifully. Her surgeon insisted that her flesh would not grow back and the only way this bedsore could be "cured" was with surgery. Well, guess what. It DID grow back. After spending 18 long months in that hospital she finally went home. According to this article (Whitaker's) sugar can be used to heal leg ulcers on diabetics as well. Thought I'd share this with you. If I can find the 5 year study on the net I'll share the website with you. I've tried to find it before but with no success. All I find is references made to it but not the actual study and the results. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I think the sugar idea is excellent. Being a nurse, I think the hospital was neglecting her for her to have such bad bedsores. If they wern't providing any better care than that, they should have let the family use whatever they wanted to on the sores.Barb Leppky <bleppky wrote: The only reason we didn't use honey was because of the stickiness. - Dr. Ian Shillington herbal remedies Thursday, February 23, 2006 5:32 PM Herbal Remedies - Sugar, as a wound dressing Interesting story, but it would be far inferior to HONEY.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I also forgot to mention that she was unable to turn over onto her stomach. This made it extremely difficult to work with honey. We simply created a "pocket" with gauze and tape and the sugar simply flowed right into place. We simply did as suggested by Dr. Julian Whittaker in "Health and Healing" - Amber Grant herbal remedies Thursday, March 02, 2006 7:24 PM Re: Herbal Remedies - Sugar, as a wound dressing I think the sugar idea is excellent.
