Sugar has been getting a bad rap in
the world of health. It plays a key role in causing obesity, type 2 diabetes
and arthritis just to name a few health concerns.
However, a doctor from Zimbabwe has
discovered the amazing healing power our ordinary table sugar contains – if
used in the right way.
Dr. Moses Murandu, while studying at
Birmingham University in the UK, has successfully used an ancient treatment for
wound healing using an ingredient that is found in most cupboards in kitchens
worldwide.
After a patient had a complicated
veinectomy and amputation that were not healing properly, Dr. Murandu proposed
packing the wound with sugar, before dressing.
Much to everyone’s surprise, the
healing process not only improved, but its timeframe was greatly expedited.
Scientists are just beginning to
unravel the reasons why this could be, but it appears to have its base in the
reaction of the harmful bacteria to the sugar- the normal table sugar was able
to fight off infection better than most antibiotic treatments currently used.
