Patient case histories also provide evidence that honey can help wounds heal. In 2001, Dr. Jennifer Eddy, associate professor at the department of family medicine at the University of Wisconsin, was treating a patient with an extreme case of diabetic foot ulcer. It had refused to heal despite treatment with conventional remedies: surgical debridement (or removal of dead tissue) antibiotics, hydrogel dressings and use of an off-loading orthotic.
