4 methods of treatment

Treatment of skin burns tilapia, for fish bites psoriasis treatment, using helminths to reduce inflammatory bowel disease . are strange healing methods that people still use.

Although medical technology is growing, the world still has many methods for treating diseases manually, "taking poison from poison" , quite strange.

Cure psoriasis by biting fish

According to Dailymail, the type of fish used for this method is Garra Rufa - a type of fish that lives and breeds in lakes belonging to the river system in Turkey. They are also known as 'doctor fish', have small bodies, are toothless, suitable for use as a spa treatment. Garra Rufa often eats the dead skin of a patient.

When you dip your foot in a pool of water, hundreds of small fish compete with each other to prick the dead cells around the legs. This therapy is quite useful for people with psoriasis, alleviating symptoms of the disease.

According to many records, in the early fourteenth century, two Turkish brothers enjoyed bathing in hot springs, and they found a small fish that had never been seen.

After bathing, they both found that beriberi symptoms (a nervous system disease) subsided and miraculously disappeared. Two people noticed that after bathing, the amount of dead skin in the foot was purged and cleaned from time to time. Since then, the use of fish for water treatment and cleaning has quickly spread throughout Turkey and imported into Japan and South Korea.

Cure intestinal inflammation with helminths

US scientists have tested a new treatment that offers many positive results by using helminths.

After doing some research, scientists found that in pigs, parasites infected with parasites had less diarrhea. A patient in the United States with severe intestinal ulcers volunteered to swallow many types of parasitic eggs with the desire to get better quickly. And the unexpected results, the patient's condition is relieved quickly, however, scientists still have to follow up on the disease later.

According to Professor Gerard Mullin, Director of Integrated Nutrition Services at Johns Hopkins University, helminths can cause the illness to be relieved as the intestines produce a chain of reactions, based on the immune system in humans.

When infected with intestinal worms, the intestine responds by secreting more mucus to fight the ulcers caused by infection. Professor Gerard also added that the routine of human deworming has contributed to an increase in the number of people with intestinal inflammation.

American scientists are studying and soon release a drink containing thousands of pig hairworm eggs to cater to people with intestinal inflammation. The patient will only need to drink this water twice within a month.

 

According to Yahoo, Maria Ines Candido da Silva, 36, a waitress at the restaurant Casa Velha, Russas, Brazil suffered severe burns on the face, hands, feet and neck when the gas tank exploded at work.

Maria's doctors used tilapia skin to apply burns instead of traditional ointments and bandages. After 11 days of treatment, most of the fish skin layers in the neck and face were removed, while deep burns in the legs and arms needed more time to treat.

This method is researched and developed by a group of doctors from José Frota Burns Institute in Fortaleza, Brazil. Selected fish of the genus Tilapia live in the tropics, most popular in Africa.

Fish skin collected by the research team will be treated strictly before being put into treatment. First, fish skin is removed from scales, excess tissue, fishy deodorant, removing toxins and other infectious factors. After that, fish skin will be stretched to 10-20 cm and stored in a frozen bank in Sao Paulo within 2 years.

According to Dr. Edmar Maciel, representative of the research team, the results showed that tilapia skin contains the optimal content of collagen type 1 and has high moisture content, so it has long been dry. Tilapia skin minimizes dehydration, plasma, provides essential proteins for wounds and reduces the risk of infection. These are important characteristics to accelerate the healing process of burns on the human body.

Use ants to sew wounds

In the past, before the method of wound healing was born, people had the idea of ​​fixing open wounds thanks to . ants. This is the Siafu ant, living in East, Central Africa and parts of Asia that can kill any animal, including humans.

Ants will be placed on the surface of the wound and just a little excited, it will fasten the jaws like two pincers, causing the wound to close. At this point, you can interrupt the ants, leave and keep the first part like sewing thread, contributing to help the wound quickly and without infection.

This method may not work for large wounds, but for small wounds it is very helpful. It is still used for first aid with people who go on a jungle expedition.
