Some of the best stuff you can put in your body, besides garlic!

As I recall, the ancient Egyptians used honed as a wound dressing.

It really helps to spread honey over all exposed areas of your body before venturing outdoors.
Prevention.

Isn't that where the saying came from,

It works best in a group of people.
They will thank you.

It is also known today why honey has an antiseptic effect: when producing honey, bees add an enzyme called glucose-oxidase.That's as may be, but there's a much simpler phenomenon at play, here. The high sugar content of they honey sucks the bacteria dry by osmosis. Plain old granulated sugar will work just as well.

Two weeks ago I used "Sugar Dyne" on a dog's leg that had developed gangrene after a gunshot wound became contaminated and was unattended for three days before I saw it. I had to amputate the leg and the gangrene had spread but the "sugar Dyne" at the distal portion of the amputation kept the gangrene from spreading. It worked really well.
"sugar Dyne" is a mixture of sugar and betadyne.

My favorites are honey butter...mix 'bee barf' and butter (the REAL stuff) in equal parts and spread on toast or waffles. Too die for. Nothing wrong with a 'bee barf' and peanut butter sandwich, either.

Odd. Aren't you supposed to never give honey to a child because of botulism?
But it protects against other stuff.
Odd.

I still remember the time my husband tried to convince me that honey would get rid of stretch marks. He had the last laugh on that one.

Not bee poop--Nectar gently sucked from flowers by the bee is returned to the hive, deposited in the comb, and reduced by evaporation with a breeze created by the delicate beating of their wings until that thick sugary solution called honey remains.
Now, philistine, take your comments and darken some other thread! ;)

That's what it said in the article, but they used a Y instead of a D. ;)
Great article though.
