Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I began to think that maple syrup instead of RAW unfiltered honey was a regional choice. I read somewhere that Dr. said something like bees go out and collect pollen and then regurate it...arg! That is enough to turn anyboidy off of honey - but not me. I guessed that he was from the northern US - so, I looked up his Bio and he was born in Utah. I also have a very good friend and tried to convenice her that she should use RAW honey and she said I am from Mass. and we in the north believe that Maple Syrup is better than Honey. I am from below the mason-Dixon line and grew up eating honey...not maple syrup. I remember as a child being given maple sugar candy and thought how yucky tasting it was. I have done the cleanse with maple syrup and I do not like it at all. I want to try using the Master Cleanse or Lemonade diet with honey instead. Dr. mentions several times how healing honey is used externally (not sure if he said RAW). For instances he mentioned burns and cuts..I know for sure myself that if you burn your fingers or any part if you put raw honey on the burn immediately, it takes the pain away and there is no blistering or scarring afterwards. I have used RAW honey on paper cuts myself and it immediately stops the pain. I have used Raw unfiltered honey on bad wounds on my dogs (in places where they can not lick it off) and the healing is really good and fast with no antibiotics needed. Maple syrup is a cooked product. RAW unfiltered honey is not cooked and still retains all of the good enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Propolis is a product that the bees make to repair their hives. I always keep propolis tincture here for insect bites. One drop directly on a wasp or other flying insect sting takes the pain away immediately. It is amazing stuff. So, to conclude this message, Yes, Suzi, do some more research on RAW Unfiltered Honey...not the junky cooked honey in the grocery stores. There are many uses for Raw honey - mixed with Raw ACV is a great cough syrup. I can think of many other uses too. http://www.reallyrawhoney.com/healthfacts.php Anne VA USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
