“treatments we use in the jungle”
I remember seeing that work. I thought it was because the sugar created an environment that crenated (shrivelled) the offending organisms and shrunk (sucked the extra fluid out of) the swollen cells, thus increasing the circulation and immunomodulatory access to the area.
How does it REALLY work?
I'm a musician and missionary. Ultimately, the answer is that God in His mercy grants it so. Exactly how He choses to work is not my specialty.
