Manuka Honey

[Vegas Seagull]

I was told that the honey produced from the bees that live in your area is the best for you.

So I can't see how Munuka is better for you than Sussex honey.

This is the case for anyone with 'hay fever' type allergies, honey within 3 or 6 miles is the local antidote

This just made me choke and spray a mouthful of cider over my missus who is sat opposite me in the pub. She was not amused, and now I've told her why she is even less enamoured with me. For the record I thought it was great

So, surfing NSC and then spraying cider over your better half whilst sitting in the pub. You old romantic you!

It does the friggin lot

Drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon:
It is found that a mix of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also note honey as very effective medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without side effects which is also a plus.Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, when it is taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm even diabetic patients. Researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, put it on toast instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol and could potentially save one from heart attack. Also, even if you have already had an attack studies show you could be kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of cinnamon honey strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as one ages the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and the veins.

ARTHRITIS: Arthritis patients can benefit by taking one cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken daily even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week (out of the 200 people so treated) practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain -- and within a month, most all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis now started walking without pain.

BLADDER INFECTIONS: Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder....who knew?

CHOLESTEROL: Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water given to a cholesterol patient was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, when taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol-could be cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS: Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and, clear the sinuses, and it's delicious too!

UPSET STOMACH: Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also is said to clear stomach ulcers from its root.

GAS: According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that when Honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

IMMUNE SYSTEM: Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacterial and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles (where DNA is contained) to fight bacterial and viral diseases.

INDIGESTION: Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food is eaten relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals

INFLUENZA: A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural 'Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.

LONGEVITY: Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Use four teaspoons of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of boiling water to make a tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans increase and even a 100 year old will start performing the chores of a 20-year-old.

RASPY OR SORE THROAT: When throat has a tickle or is raspy, take one tablespoon of honey and sip until gone. Repeat every three hours until throat is without symptoms.

PIMPLES: Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it off the next morning with warm water. When done daily for two weeks, it removes all pimples from the root.

SKIN INFECTIONS:Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin Infections.

WEIGHT LOSSaily in the morning one half hour beforebreakfast and on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. When taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

CANCER: Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder three times a day for one month.

FATIGUE: Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, even when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, when taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M., the vitality of the body increases within a week.

BAD BREATH: People of South America, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water first thing in the morning so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

HEARING LOSS: Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing.

Were all these "recent studies" undertaken/funded by the Manuka Honey Producer and Marketing Association perchance?

I think that is exclusive to hay fever.

Reminds me of this clip from Blackadder... 'Of course, my lord. .... now had time to think it over and I can strongly recommend a course of leeches'...

 

[Brovion]

Ha! I'd never heard of it until last week when my wife dragged me into Holland and Barret to get some. It comes in different grades, in pots, in creams, in jars, it's the new wonder cure for everything apparently. You can even eat it although she's smearing it on her face.

It's definitely one of Disney's stronger songs, and deserves recognition, but probably not the best. Probably not even the best in the film, that honour goes to 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight'.

2nd day taken manuka honey, and I feel like a caveman!

 

[Djmiles]

£12 a jar here at work. Not much gets sold though!

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

This is the case for anyone with 'hay fever' type allergies, honey within 3 or 6 miles is the local antidote

Don't really understand this as most hay fever sufferers are affected by tree and grass pollen, not flower pollen.

Am more entertained by the notion that you're sat with her in the pub, but looking at NSC as opposed to talking to her

i'm free.....but only if your fem, otherwise i'm covered in honey but busy.

My wife swears by it. She had a chronic cough that lasted from October to january. Really loud and constant cough. Doctor prescribed anti biotics, but none worked. He even referred her to a respiratory consultant. But before her appointment came, she tried this Manuka Honey and within a few days the cough had gone. Maybe co-incidental, but even to this sceptic I have to say that I think it did the trick.

Apparently the honey is graded and the higher the plus rate the better. Anything over 10+ will help you, but it also costs more. A jar of 15+ which she used cost £20.

 

[SACK MY COOK]

I've always been baffled by 'organic' Honey....Surely Bees fly where they want and pollinate whatever flowers they want. How do they know they must only pollinate organic flowers?

Also, can people afflicted with vegetarianism disease eat honey? It may or may not be classed as an animal product, but it could be seen as exploitation of Bees in their ignorant little minds.

£12 a jar here at work. Not much gets sold though!

As mentioned elsewhere the price depends on the rating shown on the label. A £12 jar would probably be 5 or 10. 15 upwards is apparently ideal and that's what we buy, although I have no idea what I'm talking about.
