I have heard from a reliable source that honey is very good for healing pressure sores. As for comfrey, years ago my sister had surgery on her neck, so before surgery she drank comfrey tea and afterwards used a comfrey plaster directly on the cut. It healed up so quickly and with so little scaring that the doctor was quite proud of himself! Also, when my niece had a bicycle accident and ripped all the skin off her heel, a comfrey plaster was applied and she healed up in no time with absolutely no scars. I have heard tho, that people that might have a tendency for cancer should not use comfrey because of the way it causes cells to reproduce themselves . The only other thing I have heard is that if it's fed to pigs it causes their meat to be unpleasantly mushy. But the last two items I haven't researched, only hearsay. I hope this is of help to you.
