Sugar Canes Conventional Medicines as Curing Agent

Sugar could provide a natural, clean and cost effective alternative to conventional treatments for wounds, a University of Birmingham student has found. A pioneering new study conducted by Moses Murandu into the healing effects of sugar has found that sugar acts to restore to health wounds that have previously failed to heal with conventional medicines. Moses explains: "Sugar prevents the microorganisms growing by absorbing water and therefore preventing bacteria from feeding off the tissue underneath. "The sugar has higher osmolarity, so it is drawing water from the wound and from the microorganisms. By maintaining high osmolarity between the wound and the sugar, the microorganisms are prevented from multiplying." In addition, an increased vascularity (blood supply) to the wound occurs as it equalises the fluid to the wound. This increased vascular response brings in oxygen and nutrients, which also keep the wound moist, and which help the cells to grow. The sugar is sterilized, packed and sealed, but otherwise is normal granulated sugar; the more that is applied, the quicker the results.
