Have you ever heard of using "sugar" to heal wounds? When I was young, our dog opened a large area near his scrotum that would not heal..My father suggested we pour sugar on it. The wound healed in less than one week. Has anyone else heard of this?

Yes, I have heard of this before. It was an old folks remedy and has also been used for healing bedsores (decubiti).

Yes, I have heard nurses at work talking about using sugar and betadine/iodine to heal wounds.
