Why is my mind resisting this?
I have no idea why you are resisting this. All that is written about honey here is provable. I have used honey for mulitple reasons for many years—including applying it to an infected area. It works.
It also can make a great cough syrp—that really works. Just slice an onion, put it in a shallow bowl and drizzle a generous amount of honey over it. Wait a couple of hours. A liquid will form in the bottom of the bowl. Take several tablspoons of that liquid several times a day. Your bronchitis will get better very soon.
