God gave us all we need. The stupid scientists have ruined everything. Now, after hundreds of years with "antibiotics" and other stuff like that, we once again see that God had it right all along.
Of course it worked! God gave us leeches and maggots to use! God's wisdom is infinite.
Pam Mitchell knew the maggots were working when her foot started bleeding.
Four years ago, a small cut on Mitchell's left heel turned into an diabetes-related infection two inches wide and down to the bone. Another wound developed in her right foot, owing to dry, cracked skin. Doctors tried everything—creams, antibiotics—but nothing worked.
"My doctor told me to give it up, see a psychologist, and have my foot amputated," she recalls.
Mitchell, now 52, had to make a decision soon because the powerful antibiotic that doctors prescribed for her infection was also wreaking havoc on her bones. Mitchell was preparing to undergo a dangerous bone marrow transplant when a friend remembered watching a TV show about European doctors using maggots to treat wounds like Mitchell's. With nothing to lose, she tried it.
Mitchell found a dermatologist willing to perform the procedure, and soon had 600 live maggots wriggling inside the wound (be sure to click hereand see God's will at work!) on her left foot, 400 in her right, where they were sealed in gauze and left for two days.
Grudging acceptance
When it came time to remove the maggots, Mitchell's doctor was more than a little repulsed. "He had never dealt with them before and he said it was like watching a Wes Craven movie," Mitchell remembers. He was also impressed, because the maggot treatment seemed to be working.
