RECENT NEWS: MYSTERIOUS HONEY DISCOVERED TO KILL EVERY BACTERIA SCIENTISTS THROW AT IT

Recently, scientists discovered that a particular kind of honey is dramatically better at healing than most synthetic antibiotics on the market. The research was published by the European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.

This information is quite significant during a time when most antibiotics are failing the fight against “superbugs.” Which, these superbugs are killing people in some cases.

Manuka Kills MRSA and Other Antibiotic Resistant Bugs

The truly great thing about Manuka honey (we recommend this) is that not only does it kill bacteria instantly, no bacteria it has encountered is able to adapt to it. None of the superbugs killed by the honey were able to build up immunity; a current major problem with today’s antibiotics.

According to Dr. Dee Carter of the University of Sydney’s School of Molecular and Microbial Biosciences, there are compounds like methylglyoxal in the honey that cause a multi system failure in bacteria.

The Australian researchers who developed the study concluded that the honey “killed every bacteria or pathogen they tested it on. [It can be] applied topically to fight against infections of the skin, like cuts and insect bites, or taken internally”.

And according to CNN:

Associate Professor Dee Carter, from Sydney University’s School of Molecular and Microbial Biosciences said: “Our research is the first to clearly show that these honey-based products could in many cases replace antibiotic creams on wounds and equipment such as catheters. Using honey as an intermediate treatment could also prolong the life of antibiotics.”

“Most bacteria that cause infections in hospitals are resistant to at least one antibiotic, and there is an urgent need for new ways to treat and control surface infections.”

More Benefits of Manuka Honey

WebMD states that Manuka honey is marketed for preventing and treating cancer, reducing high cholesterol, reducing systemic inflammation, treating diabetes, treating eye, ear and sinus infections and treating gastrointestinal problems. Manuka honey is incredibly useful for treating skin, wounds and leg ulcers.

A recent study suggests that the honey can be used to prevent gingivitis by reducing plaque build-up, and has been approved by the National Cancer Institute to reduce inflammation of the esophagus caused by chemotherapy.
