Years ago, when I was taking care of my grandmother,
there was a laynurse ( learned through the school of hard knocks, not
formal nursing school )
who told me to use honey in a huge bed sore my grandmother had developed
while hospitalized. It
went all the way down to the bone.
We used honey, applying it to her wound daily, and allowing this to dry to
air. We then rinsed it with hydrogen peroxide, followed
with a sterile salt water solution this woman made on the stove, ( after
allowing it to cool ). We then packed
The wound with some of this homemade sterile saline solution and gauze, as
she wanted the wound to heal from the inside
Out, so no pockets would remain for an infection to re-occur. We needed
to prevent the wound edges from
Macerating ( or the wound would grow larger ) so, we applied vitamin a and
d ointment to the parameter of the wound, putting gauze over this. We did
this once daily. We would sterilize scissors on the stove also, and use
them to snip out the old infected tissue as it died, and was
replaced by healthy tissue. We healed this bedsore, that the doctor told
us could not be healed, as it was down to the
bone, and severly infected, larger than my very tall uncles hand.
It gradually filled in, and the infection was cured.
So, much to be said for the healing and bactericidal effects of honey.
Love Jackie

Subject: CS>Honey Honey Honey
Hello my Friends!
In the old days, when we were responsible for some 160,000 bees (four
families of them, four queens and their off-spring, that is), we were always
told NEVER to heat honey.
The benefits of honey are plenty, you apply it to infected wounds, and the
infection will be gone.(it kills germs, like CS does). It is even applied by
doctors who know, on burns, up to the third degree, again, to avoid the
entrance of bacteria.
Internally it has the same effect (see my post on the "honey wash"), and
besides tasting heavenly, it is a far better provider of energy than sugar,
which gives a small peak of energy, whilst honey gioves a long wave of
energy.
AND:
did you know that recently a German doctor found out that the bee-sting
helps preventing further deterioration (and it even cures) the devastating
illness of Alzheimer? This is worth further investigation via your browser,
I guess.
BUT: We were told not to even put honey in hot tea, for it will loose all
its good faculties (even the taste). For indeed, enzymes and all the
beneficial that honey is made up of, is immedeately broken down.
When you buy a flask, or a big bottle of honey, look well at the surface of
the liquid: It should NOT be foamy. If it is, better think twice: It may
have been cut (with water, which is the worst thing a honey vendor can do to
you.) Smell it, and decide if it smells good. Honey and water do not go
together. Mark that a slight foam on the surface does not mean that your
honey is bad; if it's thick and smells foul, leave it be.
To finish: In some of the Egyptian pyramid-graves honey was found. It was
still of good quality, after thousands of years! Bee-keeping and honey
preservation is an ancient art.
Hope to serve,
Love you all,
Faith
long-ago keeper of bees,
and admirer of these examples of social behaviour.
