The Healing Power of Honey (manuka)

Holy Qur'an 16: 68 and 69:

And thy Lord revealed to the bee:

Make hives in the mountains

and in the trees and in what they build,

Then eat of all the fruits and walk in the ways of thy Lord submissively.

There comes forth from their bellies a beverage of many hues,

in which there is healing for men.

Therein is surely a sign for a people who reflect..

Active Manuka Honey

Active Manuka Honey is used both internally (gastro-intestinal) as well as externally (for wound care). Following is a brief overview for the many uses of Active Manuka Honey. This honey also tastes great in tea, on toast, with butter or peanut butter...Active Manuka Honey = Internal Uses-Acid Reflux-Heartburn-Esophagus Ulcer-Up-set Stomach-Stomach Ulcer (Peptic Ulcer)-Helicobacter Pylori (h. pylori)-Gastritis-Duodenal Ulcer-Ulcerative Colitis-Mild forms of Diverticulitis-Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)How to take Active Manuka Honey for Gastro-Intestinal Disorders:Take 1 teaspoon of Active Manuka Honey 3-4 times per day on a small square inch size piece of bread or toast, slice of bagel, slice of banana or piece of apple, 20-30 min. before breakfast, lunch and dinner to help coat out the gastro-intestinal tract. Take a 4th teaspoon of Active Manuka Honey attached to a small piece of food, before retiring for the day, and brush your teeth after that. Always talk to your doctor first, before trying any natural remedy. If you are diabetic, ask your doctor as to the amount of Active Manuka Honey you can have and change your diet throughout the day as needed and according to your doctor's directions.Active Manuka Honey - External Uses:First Degree BurnSecond Degree BurnThird Degree BurnChemical BurnsWounds / Open WoundsInfectious WoundsMRSA Infected WoundsWounds that just wont healOld War WoundsAmputation Stump WoundChronic WoundsPost-operative WoundsFirst Aid Wound TreatmentUlcersDecubitus UlcersSkin UlcerDiabetic Foot UlcersDiabetic Leg UlcersDiabetic WoundSoresBed SoresLeg SoresScarsPost-operative ScarsInsect StingsInsect BitesPoison OakPoison IvyMinor CutsAbrasionsScratchesAcne
How to apply Active Manuka Honey to any type of external Wound, Burn, Ulcer, Sore, Bed Sore and Surgical Scar:Active Manuka Honey is applied to burns, wounds, ulcers, sores, surgical scars, decubitus sores (bed sores), diabetic leg and foot ulcers, amputation stump wounds and other MRSA and VRE staph infected wounds. Gently wash the wound with a saline solution. Apply Active Manuka Honey to a sterile gauze, similar like spreading honey onto a toast, not too much and not too little. Then apply the gauze with the honey attached to the wound. Apply 2-3 additional layers of gauze on top of the first gauze layer, in order to help soak up excess body fluid and honey. Secure gauze around the edges with skin friendly paper tape to keep the gauze in place.Change the Active Manuka Honey Wound Dressing once every 24 hours in the evening. Again gently wash the wound with a saline solution and apply the next honey dressing, until the wound is completely healed.If a wound has a mal odor, it is infected. Once you start applying Active Manuka Honey to a wound, you can expect the mal odor to subside within 5-10 days, depending on the size and depth of the wound, that is about how long it takes to help clear up the infection. Next you will notice that the wound will appear less and less deep. Then you should start to see healthy pink skin form around the edges of the wound and last you'll notice the edges of the wound shrinking in size, until the wound is completely healed.We recommend that you document the wound healing progress by taking good, sharp clear digital photos with good lighting. Take a photo about every 3-4 days or more, depending on how fast the wound is healing. When you submit the wound photos to us, and with your permission to publish the photos online at www.manukahoneyusa.com/CustomerTestimonies.htm, we will send you a reward including free shipping. By submitting your photo story to us, you will help other people by encouraging them to give this medicinal honey a try.
Are there any side-effects to Active Manuka Honey"There are no known side effects to using Active Manuka Honey, unless one is allergic to honey or the tea tree bush. When Active Manuka Honey is applied for external wound care, occasional burning or stinging sensation may occur in sensitive people. If that should occur, remove Active Manuka Honey Dressing, wash wound with sterile saline solution and reapply a 50/50 mix of Active Manuka Honey with Regular Manuka Honey. By mixing equal parts of Active Manuka Honey with Regular Manuka Honey will bring down the concentration of the honey and the natural honey dressing should no longer burn or sting when applied to an external wound.Active Manuka Honey is supported by over 20 years of extensive research. The honey helps to protect and heal a wound and can be used for long term treatment for MRSA and VRE staph infected wounds.Active Manuka Honey is like a "natural antibiotic" and has an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect 4 times greater than a standard antiseptic. This honey has been found to naturally destroy staphaureus, streptococcus, as well as Methicillin-Resistant Staph Auereus (MRSA) and VRE staph infections.When Active Manuka Honey is used as a wound dressing, the wound dressing change is painless, because the honey is a natural barrier between the wound and the dressing. Once a wound is completely healed (even 1-2 inch deep and infected wounds that can reach down to bone tissue), typically one does not have to undergo skin grafting. Active Manuka Honey "feeds" a wound with natural sugars, which help to produce new cells, cells that eventually fill a deep gap, back to the surface of the skin, making skin grafting in most cases unnecessary.Active Manuka Honey is easy to apply to any type of wound and is also very cost effective, when compared to lengthy hospital stays and conventional wound healing methods such as antibiotic ointments, silver treatments and cortison creams.

http://www.manukahoneyusa.com/customer-testimonies-with-photos.htmWhich Manuka Honey strength should I use for internal or external applications?Active Manuka Honey with a UMF range between 16-18:Internal uses of Active Manuka Honey include: acid reflux, esophaghitis, heartburn, gastritis, up-set stomach (after food poisoning), stomach ulcer, h. pylori (helicobacter pylori = stomach ulcer causing bacteria), duodenal ulcer, ibs (irritable bowel syndrome) and mild forms of diverticulitis and colitis, short, Active Manuka Honey is used to help sooth and heal gastro-intestinal issues naturally.External uses of Active Manuka Honey include:First degree burn, second degree burn, third degree burn, chemical burns (after thoroughly washing off chemicals with cool water), wounds, infectious wounds, MRSA and/or VRE staph infected wounds, wounds that just wont heal with traditional medicine such as antibiotic ointments, cortison creams etc. old war wounds, amputation stump wounds, chronic wounds, post-operative scars (after caesarean, shoulder or hip operations, cosmetic surgery, tummy tuck, face lift, any surgery that leaves a scar...) first aid wound treatment, ulcers, decubitus ulcers, skin ulcer, diabetic foot ulcers, diabetic leg ulcers, diabetic wound, sores, bed sores, leg sores, scars, insect stings, insect bites, poison oak, poison ivy, minor cuts, abrasions, scratches, itches, severe adult or teenage acne...Active Manuka Honey with a UMF 10+Most people use Active Manuka Honey with a UMF range between 16-18 for internal and external applications. However for some people this honey may be too strong and could burn and sting when applied to an external wound. If one feels a burning or stinging sensation lasting longer than 10-15 minutes after application to a wound, or it is simply too painful, one needs to wash off the honey and do one of the following things:
1. Switch to using Active Manuka Honey 10+ for external wound care, or2. Mix Active Manuka Honey with a UMF range between 16-18 with equal parts, 50/50, with Regular Manuka Honey, then re-apply this mix to the wound. This way you are still using Active Manuka Honey with a lesser strength. This mix should no longer burn or sting. However, for a few people who are extremely sensitive this 50/50 mix may still be too strong. In this case you could try using just Regular Manuka Honey for wound care, as Regular Manuka Honey still has natural anti-bacterial strength, a strength that is less than UMF 10.Regular Manuka Honey:Regular Manuka Honey is used for medicinal purposes when experiencing a sore throat, cold, canker sore, fever blister or for manuka honey facials when suffering from acne, pimples or other skin care issues. Spas mix Regular Manuka Honey into their secret blend of facial masks and body toners. The customer may never know, why the facial mask feels so good and cleansing, clearing the skin from impurities, thanks to the honey's natural "drawing effect". After the facial, the skin feels nice, clean, plump and nourished. You can also use 100% Regular Manuka Honey for facials you can do at home.Instructions for Manuka Honey Facials:Tie hair up and away from face. Wash face with Royal Jelly Soap and pat skin dry. Take 1-2 teaspoons of Regular Manuka Honey and spread all over face, the same way you apply sunscreen. Leave Manuka Honey mask on for 30-60 minutes, then wash off with warm water. For dry skin type, apply 7 Cream to face after facial. For regular skin, apply Royal Jelly Hand & Body Lotion which is also used for the face. If you have a more severe, infected adult acne type problem, you can use Active Manuka Honey for the facial.Regular Manuka Honey is also eatable and tastes delicious in tea, on toast, mixed with butter or peanut butter and is also used as the 'secret' ingredient in cooking, baking and BBQ sauces. Manuka Honey adds a special, unique and non-descript flavor, that no one can really pin point (not even chef cooks!).
What is the difference between Regular Manuka Honey and Active Manuka Honey?Regular Manuka Honey and Active Manuka Honey, are both collected from the flower of the Manuka Bush (leptospermum scoparium) in New Zealand, and are sold in the US by Manuka Honey USA. Manuka Honey is less concentrated than Active Manuka Honey. Manuka Honey is used for sore throats, colds, canker sores, fever blisters, acne and pimples. Manuka Honey also tastes great in tea or on toast with peanut butter! Active Manuka Honey is collected in an area where the Manuka Bush is highly concentrated, therefore producing a more concentrated honey. Dr. Molan from the Waikato University of New Zealand has been researching Manuka Honey for over 20 years and has classified various strengths of Manuka Honey.

Are You a Knee-Jerk?

The value of the following article is that it brings to the surface deeply embedded ideas and beliefs that are commonly a part of the thought structure of many Americans as it relates to health and well-being. These unspoken, unchallenged assumptions then unconsciously guide health related behavior and decisions. Alternative approaches to healing, or even the notion of healing itself, may make some people extremely uncomfortable due to the presence of these unconscious 'lies' so deeply embedded that we don't realize that they are there. But then when we speak, or decide to take action, there they are silently guiding our every word and deed. We find ourselves ensnared and don't know why. Read through these 'lies' about health and health care and see what your reactions are. Are you free yet, or do these ideas still provoke a knee-jerk reaction in you?

The Top Ten Lies About Your Health NaturalNews) Mainstream health care isn't based on "health" or "caring." It's actually based on an ingrained system of medical mythology that's practiced -- and defended -- by those who profit from the continuation of sickness and disease. This system of medical mythology might also simply be called "lies", and today I'm sharing with NaturalNews readers the top ten lies that are still followed and promoted under mainstream health care in America today.

Lie #1) Vaccines make you healthy

Vaccines have emerged as the greatest and most insidious mythology yet fabricated by western medicine. The idea that vaccines protect you from infectious disease is blatantly false in the long term because this year's flu shot actually makes you more susceptible to next year's influenza (http://www.naturalnews.com/028538_s...). On top of that, even the theoretical short-term effectiveness of vaccines is dwarfed by the far more effective protection offered by vitamin D and other immune-modulating nutrients. (http://www.naturalnews.com/027385_V...)

Lie #2) Pharmaceuticals prevent disease

The big push by Big Pharma is now focused on treating healthy people with drugs as if pharmaceuticals were nutrients that could somehow prevent disease. This is the new push with cholesterol drugs: Give 'em to everyone, whether they have high cholesterol or not! But pharmaceuticals don't prevent disease, and medications are not vitamins. Your body has no biological need for any pharmaceuticals at all. People who believe they need pharmaceuticals have simply been the victims of "fabricated consent" engineered by Big Pharma's clever advertising and P.R. spin.

Lie #3) Doctors are experts in health

Doctors don't even study health; they study disease. Modern doctors are taught virtually nothing about nutrition, wellness or disease prevention. Expecting a doctor to guide you on health issues is sort of like expecting your accountant to pilot a jet airliner -- it's simply not something he or she has ever been trained in. That's not to say doctors aren't intelligent people. Most of them have high Iqs. But even a genius can't teach you something they know nothing about.

Lie #4) You have no role in your own healing

Doctors, drug companies and health authorities all want you to believe that your health is determined by their interventions. If you believe them, you have virtually no role in your own health or healing -- it's all managed by their drugs, their screening, their surgeries and their interventions.

Lie #5) Disease is a matter of bad luck or bad genes

Western medicine wants you to believe in the mythology of spontaneous disease -- disease that strikes without cause. This is equivalent to saying that disease is some sort of voodoo black magic and that patients have no way to prevent disease through their own diets or lifestyle choices. It's funny, actually: Western medicine claims to be driven by scientific, rational thinking, and yet the entire industry still fails to acknowledge that chronic disease always has a cause and that most of the time, that cause has everything to do with nutritional deficiencies, exposure to toxic chemicals and a lack of exercise. Disease is almost never a matter of bad luck or bad genes.

Lie #6) Screening equals prevention

Western medicine doesn't believe in disease prevention. Rather, the industry believes in screening while calling it prevention. But screening isn't prevention by even the wildest stretch of the imagination. In fact, virtually all the popular screening methodologies actually promote diseases. Mammography, for example, emits so much radiation that it causes breast cancer in tens of thousands of women each year (http://www.naturalnews.com/027558_m...). Imaging dyes used in radiological scans can cause horrific side effects, and psychiatric "disorder" screening is little more than a thinly-disguised patient recruitment scheme disguised as medicine. Real prevention of disease must involve disease prevention through nutrition, patient education about the causes of disease and lifelong changes in eating habits. Yet western medicine teaches absolutely none of these things. Heck, it doesn't even believe in such ideas.

Lie #7) Health insurance will keep you healthy

This is a favorite lie of those who recently pushed for the Big Pharma-sponsored health care reform that has swept across America. The lie supposes that merely having health insurance will provide some sort of magical protection against disease. But in reality, health insurance doesn't make you healthy! It is only YOU and your choices about foods, exposures to toxic chemicals, pursuit of exercise and time in nature that can make you healthy. Health insurance is, in effect, a wager that you will get sick. How does gambling on your sickness provide any protection whatsoever for your health? It doesn't. Personally, I'd rather bet on health than sickness, and the way to do that is to invest in nutritional supplements, organic produce, superfoods, physical fitness and non-toxic personal care products.

Lie #8) Hospitals are places of health and healing

If you want to stay healthy or get healthy, a hospital is the very last place you want to find yourself: They are unhappy, unhealthy places that are infested with antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Hospitals usually serve disease-promoting foods and lack health-enhancing sunlight, and potentially deadly mistakes with pharmaceuticals or surgical procedures now appear to be frighteningly common in U.S. hospitals. Certainly, emergency rooms in hospitals play an important role in urgent care for injuries and accidents -- and emergency room physicians do an amazing job saving lives -- but for people with chronic, degenerative disease, a hospital is a very dangerous place to be. Unless you really need immediate critical care, try to avoid hospitals.

Lie #9) Conventional medicine is "advanced" state-of-the-art medicine

Even though doctors and health authorities try to pass off western medicine as being "advanced" or "modern," the whole system is actually pathetically outdated and stuck in the germ theory of disease. Western medicine has yet to even acknowledge the role of nutrition in preventing disease -- something that has been scientifically documented for at least the last several decades. Western medicine fails to acknowledge mind-body medicine and hilariously believes the mind plays virtually no role in healing. Neither does western medicine acknowledge the bio energy field of living systems, nor that organ transplants carry memories, nor that living food is qualitatively different from dead food. Seriously: Conventional doctors still believe that dead food is exactly the same as living food! (And the USDA food pyramid still makes no distinction between the two...) "Modern" medicine isn't so modern, it turns out. It is, in fact, hopelessly outdated and desperately needs to upgrade its approach to health and wellness if it hopes to survive the next hundred years.

Lie #10) More research is needed to find "cures"

This lie is especially hilarious because western medicine does not believe in any "cure" for any disease. They aren't even looking for cures! This lie has been repeated since the 1960's, when cancer scientists claimed they were only a few years away from curing cancer. Today, four decades later, can you think of a single major disease that western medicine has cured? There aren't any. That's because drug companies make money from sick people, not cured people. A patient cured is a patient lost. It is far more profitable to keep patients sick and pretend to "manage" their disease through a lifetime of pharmaceuticals. So when drug companies and disease non-profits claim to be searching for a "cure," what they're really doing is taking your money to fund more drug research to patent more medications that don't actually cure anything. Remember this the next time you're asked to donate to some search for "the cure." The cures already exist in nutrition, herbal remedies and naturopathic medicine, but Big Pharma and the conventional medicine cartel isn't interested in real cures -- they only want to promote the idea of a cure while pumping patients full of drugs that don't cure anything.

Beyond the ten lies

When it comes to western health care, there are more than 10 lies, of course, but these big 10 lies are perhaps the most relevant to your own health decisions. By avoiding being suckered in by these lies, you can take charge of your own health and avoid the health care scam by staying healthy! Staying healthy isn't as difficult as you think, and it doesn't require health insurance or disease screening. It only requires making informed, intelligent decisions about what to eat, what to put on your skin and how to get more sunshine and physical exercise. Once you do these basic things, you'll find that you are no longer held victim by a western medicine health care system based on lies and outdated medical mythology. It's time for a revolution in medicine... A revolution that finally advances past the mental roadblock of a system of medical mythology stuck in the 1940's. Don't get me wrong, 1940's medicine was great in the 1940's. But this is no longer the 1940's, and the germ theory of disease is hopelessly outdated when it comes to the primary diseases that are striking the population today. Yet the profiteers of our dishonest, outmoded health care system are doing everything in their power to keep us all stranded in the past, a past based on treating the body like a chemical battleground and attacking every disease with a patented pharmaceutical. That whole approach to health care is so far outdated that it's hilarious it can still be pushed with a straight face. No wonder doctors only spend an average of two minutes with patients these days. That's the limit of how long they can hold their faces without breaking out in laughter at how stupid this whole "treat the symptoms and forget the causes" approach to health care really is. Even they know it! That's why most doctors actually eat superfoods and take vitamins themselves, even if they never dare suggest it to patients. True fact: It is illegal in every U.S. state for a doctor to recommend any vitamin, nutrient or food for the prevention or treatment of any disease. Doing so can cause a doctor to have his medical license permanently revoked. How crazy and outdated is that?
