Transcription for Honey Is Medicine Below

hi I'm nursing Amy from doomandbloom.net

co-author of the survival

medicine handbook I'm also a certified

nurse midwife and rants registered nurse

practitioner and a prepper

I love honey always have always will

my love of honey has grown deeper as I

discover all the wonderful properties it

possesses as my research into

alternative natural remedies has grown

and progressed I find raw unprocessed

honey which is the only honey you should

buy mentioned in nearly every source I

find and so I thought I would share some

of that information with you I've said

many times before that if a collapse

situation occurs eventually all of us

will run out of pharmaceutical

medications no question about it they

won't either get used up or become

expired after a long time and eventually

useless so you need to learn how to live

without antibiotics produced in a lab

honey has been used for thousands of

years for its healing properties it was

commonly used until world war ii when

lab antibiotics came into fashion the

use of honey is called APPA therapy

which includes replenishing energy

enhancing physical stamina and improving

immune systems honey is produced in the

bees gut and is then regurgitated into

wax cells within the hive this gut

production is part of the reason for

honey's healing and antimicrobial

properties it forms a hydrogen peroxide

effect in wounds and destroys bacteria

including MRSA and strep infections

within the wound honey not only destroys

bacterial infections it creates a moist

healing environment that allows skin

cells to regrow naturally this helps

prevent raised scarring honey both

prevents and kills bacterial infections

it has an acidic pH that is inhospitable

for bacteria it also has an osmotic

effect which kills by drawing out fluid

from

the bacteria several studies have shown

honey heals wounds better and faster

with a dramatic increase in infection

rates especially in burn injuries apply

to cuts scrapes burns of any depth if

medical help is not available rashes are

any open skin injury after a good wound

cleaning in the event of a second-degree

or third-degree burn immediate help

should be sought but in the event that

this is not available

using raw honey would be the best choice

for healing and prevention of infection

do not rinse off the honey just add more

once daily and cover with plastic wrap

or clean linen or cotton wrap to hold

the honey in place severe burn patients

are at a serious risk for problems and

need to be monitored by the best medical

personnel possible if you have a fungal

infection raw honey may be something you

want to try apply directly to the

infection cover with the loose gauze a

dressing or a sock if it's on your feet

honey is known to have a calming effect

on the mind a promotes sleep it may have

a positive effect on heart disease by

reducing c-reactive protein levels honey

may reduce blood sugar levels and help

to stabilize wild swings of highs and

lows it's also been shown to have

antiviral properties and is used

frequently to combat colds and influenza

honey is useful in the treatment and

prevention of oral infections and

disease it soothes a sore throat and

speeds healing of a strep throat

infection make sure you store honey as

part of your preparedness plan it never

spoils or goes bad if it crystallizes

just heat it up a little bit and it will

be as good as new one more important

piece of advice manuka honey is no

different than regular honey they claim

it's made from tea tree pollen however

the tea tree they say is a relative and

not the true tea tree called mallow Luka

just check your tea tree oil label this

is a fraud perpetrated to make my

from unsuspecting customers by your

local honey save money and reduce

allergies local honey is made by bees

from pollen that you might be allergic

to

however the minut doses of this allergen

in the honey is like an allergy shot and

will help desensitize you to that pollen

that's right it helps decrease or

eliminate allergies caused by your local

environment so eat the honey produced in

your area and you'll be healthier and

save money thanks for watching and don't
