Wow Charles!
Where did you get your information on honey?
I hate to correct you but ALL honey is a liquid or fluid at room temperature
until it crystallizes from water evaporation. Honey viscosity ranges from
very thick to very thin. Like 90 weight oil and 5 weight motor oil depending
on many environmental factors..
There are two very important truths in your posting: 1, Raw. Heating above
105 degrees F will kill the effective enzymes. Microwaving destroys them
immediately and can change the flavor drastically. 2, Manuka Honey is no
different than your local beekeepers product except the flavor. Therefore
IMHO not worth the cost.
Buying local honey from a small beekeeper will almost assure you it is raw
and probably un-filtered.
I can almost guarantee you most of the commercial honey you buy in the
grocery store has been filtered and heated simply to enhance the looks and
ease of container filling processes. Real honey has bits of wax, propolis,
pollen beads, and bee body parts when centrifugally extracted.

Subject: CS>Raw Honey - medical miracle
Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Manuka honey for
healing wounds?
Hi Leigh,
Don't waste your money on the Manuka...
Honey is a near miraculous treatment for many, many different things,
especially burns (even really bad ones) and scars (even really big/old
ones), but there is one caveat: it must be truly raw.
Second most important thing is, if you can get it, get local honey from a
local bee-keeper. But truly raw is the most important things.
The problem is, honey providers can heat honey to as high as 160 degrees
and still *legally* label it as 'raw'. Very few honey providers who sell
'raw' honey actually sell truly RAW honey. If it is fluid at room temp,
then, unless it is Tupelo or - forget the other kind - then it has been
heated, rest assured.
The best *commercial* brands of truly raw honey, that I know of, are
'ReallyRaw', and YS Organics' Personally I love YS Organics, and it is
available at Harry's/Whole Foods.
