About this listen
In this episode Dr. G explores chlorophyll’s surprising history and medical potential — from its chemical similarity to hemoglobin and wartime use as a wound antiseptic to the development of chlorophyllin.
We cover the science behind its antimicrobial effects (photodynamic action, toxin binding, anti-inflammatory signaling), its role in odor control and granulation, and why researchers are revisiting it amid rising antibiotic resistance.
The episode connects these findings to diabetic wound challenges and ongoing research into chlorophyll derivatives as adjuncts in modern wound care.
