OT (sorta) - Manuka Honey or Coconut Oil for Fistula

[Guest guest]

I'm pretty sure this is the only forum a question such as this might be posted,

but here it goes - has anyone, or what do you all think of topically applying

manuka honey or coconut oil to a perirectal fistula? Think it'd help, or just

try taking it orally?!?

Thanks!

Think it'd help, or just try taking it orally?!?Hmm...I'm not sure. I know I've read tons of stuff about people using manuka honey as an antibacterial/healing agent on wounds and had really good results. If your fistula is anything like a wound (never had one) then I would say just go for it; I doubt it would do any harm, and it very well could help. Just my thoughts, since I've never had that problem. Have you googled it?

I did just google it and think I will give it a shot. I read melderma honey ointment is esp helpful when mixed w/ cod liver oil and applied. I am not having any luck on finding a place to purchase the melderma honey ointment?!?I also read articles where people stated that Silicea 30 really helped to get rid of fistulas. It is homeopathy - I guess I'll have to figure out where I can purchase it...Thanks,TashaSubject: Re: OT (sorta) - Manuka Honey or Coconut Oil for FistulaTo: BTVC-SCD Date: Wednesday, May 19,

I'd be interested in hearing your results if you decide to try it.  I've heard of amazing things with aloe vera and the honey.

 

Good luck,

I have an av plant, so I might just have to try that! I m pretty determined to

shrink it before my colonoscopy in June.

I think there's actually a medical-grade manuka honey. I haven't tried looking

for it though.

Aloe vera is not SCD-legal -- and it's a great way to really screw things

up.

If you're interested in homeopathy, keep in mind that it doesn't work the way

that something like tylenol does. It's a good idea to look up your symptoms in

the Materia Medica. Take a look at each of the remedies that that symptoms

recommends. Those remedies will have a lot of other symptoms that others suffer

(neurological, head, limbs, sexual system etc etc etc). Usually you'll notice

that you'll relate to a lot of the other symptoms and that will tell you which

particular remedy is best for you. It's also a good idea to have the " antidote "

just in case your body responds really strongly.

If you google it there are places to order it. I wonder if the optimal thing to

do is use the medical grade-topically and/or orally?

I meant topically.  I wouldn't drink it.

Some people would... that's why I mentioned it. Aloe vera is OK

topically. But not internally.

Thanks for the clarification. I knew it was NOT okay internally, but was uncertain about topically.

There may be a smart or a kind of heavy sting with the aloe vera.  So, if you don't pass out and you can stand it at first (and you may not be bothered at all--just saying) then stay with it.  For me (and I can only say my experience) it may hurt like h--- at first but then it cures whatever ails you.

 

How deep do these go because you don't want to hurt yourself either ;-).

This may be TMI, but the entrance to the fistula tube does not seem to be very deep - hence why I'm pretty certain of what is going on. I've been using various therapeutic grade essential oils on it, and I already know what you mean by a 'smart' sting!
