Honey Therapy

Doctor save man's leg after treating wound with honey

After getting a massive infection, it looked like that Franklin Loyn would lose his right leg. Aggressive anti-biotics (抗生素) treatment just weren’t working and the infection kept spreading wider and deeper. The 67-year-old kidney transplant recipient has a weakened immune system. It’s most likely the reason why he got the infection in the first place and why standard treatments failed.

The fear was that I have to trade my leg with the kidney and that was a very, erm a big concern.

Determined to save his leg, doctors and nurses at North LIJ Manhattan began looking for alternative treatments and decided to address Loyn’s infection with honey. Loyn beholded the healing powers of honey first used 4000 years ago by Egyptians to treat wounds began to work, allowing the infection to gently to be removed without the aggressive and potentially dangerous surgery given Loyn’s fragile state.

It helped to soften the nonviable tissues that we didn’t have to invasively cut into his legs to remove and it worked beautifully on him.

This isn’t the same honey you put in your tea. It’s derived from bee hives (蜂巢）in New Zealand and then treated with gamma radiation. It was /a/proved by the FDA in 2007 and God for Sally Loyn who is just so glad that her husband was able to avoid surgery.

They don’t know whether he would survive that so it was a life save and thank God for it.

The wound is still healing but it’s tiny now and Loyn can’t wait to go back to do with the things he loves like spending /the/ time with his grandchildren and going on vacation. In Manhattan, Rob Lawyer, Picks New at Ten.

文本参考中文翻译

由于大面积感染，Franklin Loyn的右腿似乎保不住了。强抗生素治疗根本不起作用，感染的范围越来越大，越来越深。这位接受过肾脏移植手术的老人免疫系统非常弱。这很可能是他为什么最初被感染和标准治疗失败的原因。

我害怕的是，由于肾脏状况不佳，没有任何方法来治疗我的腿，这非常让人担忧。

为了保住他的腿，曼哈顿北部的医生和护士开始寻找其他治疗方法，他们决定使用蜂蜜来治疗Loyn遭受传染的右腿。这种4000年前埃及人用来疗伤的方法开始在Loyn身上发生作用，传染慢慢的解除，而考虑到Loyn身体状况如此虚弱，进行外科手术肯定非常危险。

蜂蜜将坏死的组织软化，这样我们就不必进行外科手术将坏死的部分切除，这个方法在他身上发挥的非常完美。

这和你冲进茶水中的蜂蜜并不相同。这种蜂蜜提取自新西兰的蜂巢，然后用伽玛射线进行处理。这种方法于2007年通过食品和药物管理部门认可。对Sally Loyn来说，她非常高兴自己的丈夫可以不用接受外科手术。

他们不知道我丈夫能不能活下来，所以，这是挽救了他的生命，感谢上帝。

伤口还在康复，但是现在症状已经轻微了很多，Loyn迫不及待地想回到以前的生活，做他喜欢的事情，比如和孙儿们在一起，或者休假。
