You can NOT override one thing over another. It is complexity. Western Doctors lucking a COMPLEXITY. It is is wrong for doctors to treat your ears or eyes.... if you have a vascular deficiency. Vascular supply? It is a different doctor.... Pavlov is a famous Russian Doctor. He said: Feed a cell!!! And you will NEVER have a dysfunctions. Cues what feed a cell? Blood. What makes blood a sufficient feeder? Velocity.... Blood formula...thickness of the blood. What makes blood thicker? Age, Toxins, Environmental exposure, Alcohol. Health of single cell is very important. What/Who can improve all of it? Leeches. What else? Nothing!!! Leeches works from inside to improve a capillary-cell feeding ability.To remove toxins. To improve blood formula. To regenerate water clusters in our body. Water clusters regeneration is what pregnant women do.... to nourish fetus. By the way: never ever do Ultrasound scans UZI. It will destroy water clusters/ It is 1.5% of fetus mortality. It is 3 baby for 200 pregnant women. Did they tell you that statistics?
nature has many things which can help, if only we could find them. I think we probably had a greater knowledge of things like herbs in the past, but over time we have lost it.
there is evidence that medical maggots can be used to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is increasingly becoming a serious problem in health care. Steve Thomas, who runs the United Kingdom's only commercial unit breeding medicinal maggots, has stated that wounds infected with MRSA are likely to become a major indication for the use of maggot therapy in the future. Thomas used maggots to treat 5 MRSA-infected lesions, NONE of which had responded to conventional treatment. After 48 hours of maggot therapy, all lesions were MRSA-negative and healing.
9 days: maggot treated wounds saw a 50% reduction in necrotic surface area and conventional therapy reached 50% after 29 days.
14 days: maggot-treated wounds were covered by only 7% necrotic tissue compared with 39% necrotic tissue for conventional therapy.
4 weeks: maggot treated wounds were 100% debrided, whereas wounds treated with conventional therapy for an average of 5 weeks had only a 66% reduction of necrotic tissue.
One more... I repeat statistics: conventional therapy has a limbs REMOVING surgery 34 people out of 100 with necrotic tissue. 34!!!!!!!!!!! Maggots therapy have NO victims.

Oh, the treatment isn't new either. Aborigini in Australia used it for a very long time, as did native Americans.
more than 50,000 people are treated by maggots every single year. Only specific types are used and are made sterile. They eat only rotting, dead or infected tissue, leaving healthy tissue alone. They even have the ability to deal with many bacteria, including MRSA. It was a treatment used on numerous occasions during battles times and soldiers with horrific wounds survived because of these maggots, keeping infection at bay until they could be taken to a hospital. I think the usual dosage is around 10 maggots per square cm of open wound and they increase to over 4 times their original size. Starting size is very small, around 2mm. Patients can feel an itching where the maggots tickle, but when they become larger, they can push against nerves and cause some pain. They are usually left munching away for a period of 2 to 3 days. Drug companies breed these larvae and ship them out to hospitals in containers, using the green bottle fly larvae. Studies in the UK have shown that maggot therapy can increase limb saving by up to 50% and sometimes 80%. The flesh eating bacteria MRSA has also been treated successfully by maggots in a number of patients. Obviously the choice of maggot is paramount, as some live on dead, live or both types of flesh. You don't want to visit your patient in 2 days to find they have been eaten alive. The family of blow fly (as the green bottle is one) is the best candidate due to only liking necrotic or infected tissue.
With many bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics, perhaps we will see maggots being used far more in infected wounds. Apparently the right maggot species will do an amazing clean up.
I will give you a credit: benefit of the doubt. I was at international Hirudotherapy congress. Do you know who was there? World best doctors. Why they were there? After decades of treating patients with a medical drugs NOW they see side effect of medical drugs. It is a new array of medical conditions. Check out surgery limb reattachment. Just google it, please....In regard of George Washington. Ignorance, abuse, anti sanitary conditions of natural ponds. Oh and wrong type of leeches. FDA approved medicinal leeches. It is safe! It comes from respected farms from Germany and France... Medical insurances cover leech therapy. Medical coding have a codes for hirudotherapy. The most success with leeches - is a removing blood clots (BETTER then any known drugs) capillary de-congestion, improvement of blood flow and so on 114 beneficial points/ferments and with NO side effects. Flycaster305!!! Subject is not about YOU receiving leeches. Stay away of it... or cry for it when you in a desperation. Medicinal Leech Subject is about thousands years of well established treatment versus new/modern drugs and devices. Nobody knows what to expect after 1-3-5-10 years.
1. Read Benjamin Rush's philosophy, circa 1775. It killed George Washington.
2. I'd think wading in many SE Asian waters would teach you all you would need to know about leeches.
There is a disease that causes a buildup of red blood cells where blood letting is helpful. It is extremely rare. I absolutely assure you, if someone showed up to help me with my heart issues with a bag of leeches they would receive less than a warm welcome.
