I'd be happy to have medicine that doesn't require "a spoonful of sugar" to help it go down.<BR/>Yummy honey!!<BR/>I've heard it is good for allergies, like you said, and for other ailments too. also, as well. I'm sure there's some truth to it, and if not...

If my husband said it was bad, then IT WAS BAD. Maybe my next purchase will be better. We never seem to get out anywhere to purchase the real stuff from farmers. Keep up the good work.

My married name is Gracie and my Sister in law who was Agnes Gracie before she married has been involved for a while in doing a family tree, she has just found out that one of her ancestors 'Archibald Gracie' was well known in Alabama - among other places in America. I've just Googled him ... woweeee... The Gracie's got everywhere - She had also been looking for another Gracie who was a missionary in China ... and by chance found The American Archibald Gracie, Just shows you ! There is also another branch of the Gracie Family who had gone to South America and started some kind of Jujitsu... Amazing isn't it ? Maybe us joking about being long lost sisters might not be too far off the mark..<BR/>Cheers for now..<BR/>Kate Barr (Gracie) xxx.<BR/><BR/>I have just checked Archibald Gracie on Wikipedia - <BR/><BR/>***Colonel Archibald Gracie <BR/>Born January 17, 1859<BR/>Mobile, Alabama <BR/>Died December 4, 1912 (age 53)<BR/>New York, New York <BR/>Colonel Archibald Gracie IV (January 17, 1859 - December 4, 1912) was an American writer, amateur historian, real estate investor, and survivor of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. He survived the sinking by climbing aboard an overturned collapsible lifeboat, and wrote a popular and valuable book about the disaster which is still in print today.<BR/>1 Early life <BR/>2 Aboard the Titanic <BR/>3 After the rescue <BR/>4 Legacy <BR/>5 External links and references <BR/> <BR/>[edit] Early life<BR/>Gracie was born in 1859 in Mobile, Alabama, a member of the wealthy Gracie family of New York. He was a namesake and direct descendant of the Archibald Gracie who had built Gracie Mansion, the current official residence of the mayor of New York City, in 1799. His father, Archibald Gracie Jr., had been an officer with the Washington Light Infantry of the Confederate army, serving at the Battle of Chickamauga before dying at Petersburg, Virginia, in 1864 during the American Civil War. Young Archibald attended St. Paul's Academy in Concord, New Hampshire and the United States Military Academy, eventually becoming a colonel of the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment.<BR/><BR/>Colonel Gracie was a keen amateur historian and was especially fascinated by the Battle of Chickamauga at which his father had served. He spent a number of years collecting facts about the battle and eventually wrote a book called The Truth about Chickamauga. He found the experience rewarding but exhausting; in early 1912 he decided to visit Europe without his wife Constance (née Schack) and their daughter in order to recharge his batteries. He traveled to Europe on RMS Oceanic and eventually decided to return to the United States aboard RMS Titanic.<BR/><BR/>There's a lot more this is just a taster - Just shows you though !<BR/>Amazing huh ?

One of the things that worked for his bedsores is a bandage-dressng of honey and tincture iodine. I used to do this dresisng-change 3 times a day for him, and it really worked. I checked with a surgeon I know, and he said they used a sugar-iodine mixture routinely for healing wounds . <BR/><BR/>suranga(blogging under the name ugich)<BR/><BR/>P. S.

However, when I had the flu once my doc gave me a recipe for honey, lemon juice...from a real lemon, cinnamon, a bunch of other spices, and a good tot of whiskey. This was on top of a pain pill for the strained ribs from coughing, and some codiene cough medicine. After that I really didn't care that much about the flu. I still have that recipe around here just in case. I don't drink so...well, oh yeah...it was all good. :)Amber Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084517063365211835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4986262392503672837.post-1691959460174886492008-09-22T21:25:00.000-04:002008-09-22T21:25:00.000-04:00Wow!

My Grandpa, who thought all doctors were quacks, kept bees and took a big spoonful of honey, along with a big spoonful of apple cider vinegar every single night.

Active jellybush honey is made from the Australian Leptospermum polygalifolium tree which grows endemically in the North Coast of NSW, Australia (where I live). <BR/>The New Zealanders have done a lot of scientific research on their own Manuka honey. This is gathered in New Zealand from the manuka bush, Leptospermum scoparium, which grows uncultivated throughout their country.<BR/>Researchers say they have proven that even such infections as Staph can be treated very successfully. It is becoming accepted here that open wounds, such as infected ulcers in the elderly, are treatable with these honeys. <BR/>Personally, I know it works!<BR/>If ever I get a sore throat I dissolve half a teaspoon of the active honey in my throat and it's gone almost immediately, not to return!<BR/>I've also used it successfully on my own scratches and scrapes, and even put some up my nose (sorry)when I have the flu. <BR/>This is so important today when antibiotics have become resistant and a problem in their own right.<BR/>This is an interesting web site from the university in NZ that has been doing a lot of work in this field: http://bio.waikato.ac.nz/honey/special.shtmlJune Savillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194576632686640776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4986262392503672837.post-79476269555441450392008-09-21T19:03:00.000-04:002008-09-21T19:03:00.000-04:00Arrests old age!
