Honey Recommended for Cuts, Wounds and Burns

[Guest guest]

Moderator's Note:

The link below the " by line " worked for me. But I do know that some links will

work for others that don't work for me. If you really want to know more about

using honey for cuts, burns and wounds- then do a google search (or any search

engine) and you will find lots of information.

Honey not only tastes good, but it is good for you. The medicinal value

of honey and other natural products has been known for thousands of

years but was put aside after the introduction of antibiotics earlier

this century.

For most folks, honey is good advice. However, for diabetics it may

be dangerous. So proceed carefully.

 

I used to know a woman who was diabetic. She was in her 40s, and

morbidly obese. She developed a non-healing wound on her foot. A

well-meaning friend who was into natural remedies treated the wound

daily with honey. The honey caused the wound to spread and she later

had to have her foot amputated.

I remember reading something back about 30 years ago about

honey for healing wounds. A student of Egyptology had a mother in a

nursing home who was suffering from big bed sores on her butt. Modern

medicines seemed not to help. She remembered reading a medical

papyrus in which bedsores were treated by blending honey with

spiderwebs and packing the bedsores with the goop. She typed out a

translation and showed it to her mother's doctor. He was, at first,

resistant to the idea. He thought about it and realized there were

modern sterile fibrous non-stick equivalents to spiderwebs. The nurse

tried it. It worked. The bedsores healed nicely.

Alobar, I had not heard this. Thank you for the warning.

I gave a lecture last June and a nurse in the audience said that honey cured

a patient in her hospital who had a diabetic sore (stomach) and it was

regular honey, while I was promoting Manuka honey.

I read about the research in Germany about using Manuka on diabetic sores.

I burned my hand with hot coffee last summer. It seemed OK until the scab

came off and there was a bloody sore that would not heal with anything --

colloidal silver cream, iodine cream or antibioitc cream. So, I paid $26

for a jar of Manika, applied it and covered it with a large bandaid. By

morning, it was completely dry and healed...and I have no scar at all! The

sore had not healed in 3 weeks.

But, as you indicate, there are anomolies so thank you for the

warning...Lynn Koiner

I suspect the sores being on the soles of her foot, her morbid

obesity, and her not sticking to a diet to keep her blood glucose

levels down all set the stage for disaster.
