Healing – Scientists Discover a ‘Super Healing Water’
Healing - Can this miracle water speed up the pace of Wound Healing?
Both the New Scientist and BBC News have recently reported on a remarkable discovery - that a US firm has developed a miracle water which can accelerate healing.
This could be beneficial for the 246 million reported Diabetes sufferers worldwide who have problems with wounds not healing.
The water is "super oxidized" and so far the studies have shown it to work so fingers crossed healing will just get quicker and quicker.
Firm makes 'healing super-water'
Bad circulation can prevent foot ulcers from healing
US scientists have developed chemically modified water which they say speeds up wound healing.
Oculus, the Californian firm which developed the water - made by filtering it through a salt membrane - says it kills viruses, bacteria and fungi.
It is also effective against MRSA and UK trials are being carried out on patients with diabetic foot ulcers, New Scientist magazine reported.
Experts said wound healing was a major problem for people with diabetes.
The key ingredient of the water, called Microcyn, are oxychlorine ions - electrically charged molecules.
The water can only kill cells it can completely surround, such as free-living microbes, so human cells are spared because they are tightly bound together in a matrix.

It is made by taking purified water and using an electric current and a semi-permeable sodium chloride membrane to separate out the oxychlorine ions.
One study showed that patients with advanced foot ulcers who were treated with the water, alongside an antibiotic, had an average healing time of 43 days compared with 55 days in those who received standard treatment.
