Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 This is a very real concern with the under 1yo people...btw, corn syrup is also like honey, containing the " spores " (or what ever, spores?)...and it does seem prudent to avoid giving either of these to the under 1yo people, imho.... fwiw wishing you the best answers elizabeth > > Hi > Just wondered what the group felt about giving manuka honey to an under > 1 year old he's 8 months and has had a permanent cold stuffed up nose, > eye infection rattly breathing and fever on and off since his dtp.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I felt that way until a close friend of mine, a nurse, told me the horrors she saw in babies taking honey and getting botulism. I know this person to be non-alarmist and factual so that stopped me... wasn't worth the risk is what I figured... there's so much other stuff that can be done...

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Standard information passed from mother to mother for years in my family is that NO honey is to be ingested by anyone under 2 years old. When my children were young, I also got the same warning from the medical profession. This is one warning I do believe and pass on. Yes, botulism is the risk, because the young system is not ready to handle the bacterias in honey. After 2, though, it is VERY beneficial. P.

I don't have a comment on the honey question. However, all the symptoms you list, would be either yeast overgrowth at my house, or food intolerance. Try adding biotin, see if that helps.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 My sister wrote that she heard on NPR .... Hi, I heard on NPR that New Zealand Manuka Honey has been FDA approved for treatment of methicillin drug resistant staphaloccus aura (the staph that killed Bob) I think it has been approved for topical skin infections. do any of the people on your chat groups know anything about this? I would like to know of any adverse reactions about it and where I might purchase some if any of you know. Thanks very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
