Update: 31st May 2008Video preview. "Our patient Roy Rice is keen to let you all know that he was not aware of the maggots moving round at all. He was just glad that the biofilm was being removed painlessly and naturally, rather than having to endure more of the painful process of debridement manually with a sharp scraper. Thank you Roy. Today the heavens opened..."This patient, Roy, had several traumatic leg wounds. The skin blistered and became infected. He was a US Army veteran. You can read about it here: http://www.amazingphage.info/p... has since passed away, peacefully in his sleep. He donated his body to medical science. Grace Filby's Winston Churchill Travelling Fellowship Award blog is at http://www.amazingphage.info - Chronic biofilm infections of wounds can be removed naturally and painlessly - e.g. maggot therapy to enable healing to take place. Location: Southwest Regional Woundcare Center, Lubbock, Texas. Other strategies include phage therapy (using bacteriophages - available in Poland and Georgia for treating antibiotic-resistant infections including MRSA), surgical debridement, ultrasonic debridement, hyperbaric oxygen, lactoferrin, xylitol etc.. Original video footage available.Roy features briefly in a half-hour video available autumn 2008: "Amazing Phage - the Scientists and the Patients". It includes people whose lives were saved with phage medicine, e.g. after MRSA, and are now well again. Music: the artist is 'taboca' and the track is Mach Inspire. It's an audio-swap service provided by YouTube that can be added to videos. Genre: Classical.(Copyright holder: Creative Commons; Policy: Allow; Countries: Everywhere)

Now if you're wondering why the maggots are so small is because they leave them on the patient's body for a couple of days, where they'll grow up to 5 times bigger after eating the dead flesh. I saw a documentary about maggot treatment

They also use maggots on patients that have gangrene. The maggots happily munch up the dead/decaying flesh.

And also, these maggots not only eat the dead cells, they won't touch the healthy tissue, so I'm pretty sure it won't hurt.

maggots are used mostly for severe burn victims which need the dead tissue to be removed.

This has been going on for hundreds and hundreds of years, documented. Very safe. Very effective. Don't try it at home, as these are "medical maggots" destined for one purpose. Very cool.
