My family found out about a home remedy for bed sores, plain sugar.  My dad had been in the hospital for over a month and develop an awful bed sore.  It had to be cut on 2 or 3 times to clean the infection out, which increase the size of the sore.   The hospital staff treated it with some type of germ fighting solution but it became worse and worse.

When he returned home, it was one and one half inches wide and about an inch deep.  We had seen in an article that doctors where treating hard healing wounds with regular table sugar poured directly on or in the wound.  It was working.  So we asked the homebound nurse if she would try it when she came every day to cleanse and put medicine on it.  She said she would be glad to but MUST have a doctor's approval first.    To make a long story short, he said "yes" go ahead nothing is working anyway and I have heard of such a thing myself.  She came back and started the treatment.  Within a matter of days apparent healing was taking place and within 3 or 4 weeks, was healed. 

How it works?  Bacteria CAN NOT grow in the presence of sugar and sugar feeds the tissue directly. 

Further to the posting headed 'a natural cure for bed sores', a mixture of honey and sugar can also be used. See the excellent book "Disabled Village Children" (by David Werner), Chapter 24, right at the end, for instructions.
