HONEY INSIDE

HONEY IS: antiseptic, antibiotic, antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, and - it never spoils.

We need to talk about what raw honey can do for you inside out.
Honey in its natural raw state contains:
-2 predominant natural sugars (Fructose and Glucose),
-11 enzymes, 14 minerals, 21 amino acids
- all the vitamins that nutritionists consider necessary for health
-A, D, K, Rutin, Nicotinic acid, B vitamins, Thiamine, Riboflavin
- Pantothenic acid, Pyridoxine and Biotin as well as Ascorbic Acid (Vit C).
It has been proven that destructive bacteria can not live in the presence of raw honey. Research has been done on typhoid, bronco-pneumonia and dysentery producing germs and all were killed off in the presence of raw honey.
Quality raw honey may contain friendly bacteria which can help you experience good health in the digestive tract. The antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties can improve the digestive system which helps you to fight disease. In fact, in my experience, people with a strong immune system aren't always fighting "disease" or if they are, they are not so much aware of it as those with poor immunity.
I have read a report by Dr. Schacht, of Wiebaden, who claims to have cured many hopeless cases of gastric and intestinal ulcers with honey and without operations.
Research shows that raw honey has been used for thousands of years as a natural home remedy in many cultures. Yeast infection and athlete foot both respond to external application of raw honey.
Arthritis pain can be lessened by ingesting raw honey mixed with either apple cider vinegar or cinnamon morning and evening. Use about a teaspoon of either and make a cup of green tea with a tablespoon honey added in. Amazingly, this remedy will also have a wonderful benefit to the digestive system.
Try a drink using a large spoonful of honey together with the juice from half a lemon mixed into a cup of hot water before breakfast every morning as a cleansing tonic. Lemon and honey mixed together are a better known sore throat treatment.
Did you know that professional singers often use honey to soothe their throats before performances?
There are actually many diseases that have been found to be affected positively by Cinnamon and Honey. I will talk more about that another day.

HONEY BEES FACTS:
-Honey bees are environmentally friendly and are critical as pollinators.
-It takes about 556 workers to gather 1 pound of honey from about 2 million flowers.
-The average honey bee will actually make only one twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.

The more I learn about honey and bees, the more I understand why Albert Einstein would have said:

"If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live."
