Not a new treatment regime. They were trying this out at Fort Sam and Wilford Hall medical centers in 1972.

I don't know if they figured out why it worked, but it did seem to reduce infections and the scars were less noticeable, but that may because of the type of wounds sugar was being used on. In my case it was mid-thickness burns.

Uh, I believe that Sugar was also used to treat wounds in the Napoleonic Wars.

As someone else pointed out, sugar naturally is not supportive of bacteria. Jam, cookies, cake, jelly, doughnuts stuff like that just don’t spoil. Ever wonder why? Sugar of course and no bacteria.

Of course, we all know that nothing now can can be valid unless it is discovered by one from the cradle of all civilization... Zimbabwe.

I wish I had a black heritage too so I could be smart and discover s@#t and all kinda stuff like dat.

What a crock.

It helps but if it was all that great the trials at Fort Sam would have made it a standard or it would have survived the wars and antibiotics would not have been invented. Don’t cite the profit motive. There was need for something better and it got invented.
