Re: Effects of honey as a scolicidal agent on the hepatobiliary system

[Guest guest]

The site opened fine for me. What I read is that on rats the honey had no effect.

Barb -

I couldn't get the site to open. Scolicidal - sounds bad, but guess I need to look up definition. I just purchased honey (with almonds) from my favorite " honey man " at Farmers Market. The honey, plus a bottle of UC Olive Oil (2008 olive oil sold out within a few weeks of production - very popular), plus some goat/glycerin soap from another favorite at Farmer's Market (only soap that keeps my eczematous hands clear!) are part of a " Local California Basket " I'm doing for the Silent Auction. The basket will be easy for travel (I have to bring it and hopefully someone else will take it home!).

But now - if honey is scolicidal... and that is bad... maybe I'll just have more honey to eat? On the other hand, if scolicidal is good - maybe I should bring a second basket (I have an extra bottle of the Olive Oil already).

To examine the effects of 10% diluted honey, which has been shown to be scolicidal, on the liver and biliary system …….
