Honey Therapy
奇妙的蜂蜜消除感染
After getting a massive infection, it looked like that Franklin Lloyd would lose his right leg. Aggressive antibiotic treatments 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.
由于大面積感染，Franklin Loyn的右腿似乎保不住了。強抗生素治療根本不起作用，感染的范圍越來越大，越來越深。這位接受過腎臟移植手術的老人免疫系統非常脆弱。這很可能是他最初被感染和標準治療失敗的原因。
The fear was that I have to trade my leg for the kidney and that was a very, erm a big concern.
我害怕的是，由于腎臟狀況不佳，沒有任何方法來治療我的腿，這非常讓人擔憂。
Determined to save his leg, doctors and nurses at North Shore LIJ(1) in Manhasset began looking for alternative treatments and decided to address Lloyd’s infection with honey. Lo and behold(2), the healing powers of honey first used 4,000 years ago by Egyptians to treat wounds began to work, allowing the infection to gently be removed without aggressive and potentially dangerous surgery given Lloyd’s fragile state.
為了保住他的腿，曼哈斯特北部海岸的醫生和護士開始尋找其他治療方法，他們決定使用蜂蜜來治療Loyn感染的右腿。這種4000年前埃及人用來療傷的方法開始在Loyn身上發生作用，感染慢慢的消除，而考慮到Loyn身體狀況如此虛弱，進行外科手術肯定非常危險。
It helped to soften the nonviable tissue so we didn’t have to invasively cut into his leg to remove and it worked beautifully on him. This isn’t the same honey you put in your tea. It’s derived from beehives in New Zealand and then treated with gamma radiation. It was approved by the FDA in 2007 and a godsend for Sally Lloyd who is just so glad her husband was able to avoid surgery.
蜂蜜將壞死的組織軟化，這樣我們就不必進行外科手術將壞死的部分切除，這個方法在他身上發揮的非常完美。這和你沖進茶水中的蜂蜜并不相同。這種蜂蜜提取自新西蘭的蜂巢，然后用伽瑪射線進行處理。這種方法于2007年通過食品和藥物管理部門批準。對Sally Loyn來說，她非常高興自己的丈夫可以不用接受外科手術。
They don’t know whether he would have survived that so it was a life saver and thank God for us. The wound is still healing but it’s tiny now and Lloyd can’t wait to go back to do with the things he loves like spending time with his grandchildren and going on vacation.
他們不知道我丈夫能不能活下來，所以，這是挽救了他的生命，感謝上帝。傷口還在康復，但是現在癥狀已經輕微了很多，Loyn迫不及待地想回到以前的生活，做他喜歡的事情，比如和孫兒們在一起，或者休假。
