Old is becoming new again in the medical field.
And it involves using a totally natural product for healing – maggots.
The antibiotics that we have been using for the last 50 years or so are starting to become “immune” to many of the “super bacteria” that have developed from incorrect and over usage of them.
Enter the maggot which has recorded usage during war in 1798.
They effectively cleaned and destroyed the dead tissue of flesh wounds – and the patients survival rates were high – without the infections that set in from these types of wounds.
Jump forward to 2007.
Maggot therapy was used to treat MRSA which often contains the flesh eating bacteria that continually infects tissues and usually causes death.
These little guys completely cleaned up the dead tissue which prevented the infection from spreading.
That is pretty powerful healing.
The thought of it really gives me the creeps, even though they are completely encased and there is no chance of them escaping from their gauze-like cage.
One must feel them moving around as they do their work.
Even though, Mother Nature does provide – it is just up to us to use what she offers.
