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脆弱。这很可能是他最初被感染和标准治疗失败的原因。
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。
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.
为了保住他的腿，曼哈斯特北部海岸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感染的右腿。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，感染慢慢的消除，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。
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批准。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。
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。
