    Electricity can heal even the worst kind of wounds three times faster, new study finds
    Scientists used an old theory to develop a new technique that involves exposing skin cells to an electric field to make the wounds on the skin heal faster.

    An interesting article. Due to my forge hobby I get more small crush injuries and cuts than I'd like. Sometimes between fingers, they can be very tricky to heal.

    There are tons and tons and tons of info about health & food out there on the internet.
    Many writers claimed to have made new discoveries/findings.
    Most of those articles are written by non-SME Subject Matter Experts.

    How about the above article? Is the writer an SME?

    Anyway, if you are old, don't hope for a miracle.

    Well it's not a famous university but it is rocket-science either. Is memory serves Chalmers is in Sweden, not the superintendent of schools in Springfield :)

    The mode of action seems the same as agarose gel electrophoresis used to separate DNA fragments according to their size. DNA samples are loaded into wells/indentations at one end of a gel, and an electric current is applied to pull them through the gel. DNA fragments are negatively charged, so they move towards the positive electrode.

    I have over 30 years of hospice volunteering and this certainly would help, I expect it could be used for damaged IV/Central line site healing.

    Frankenstein was right! :)
