Honey is More Effective Than Antibiotics!

Could it have anything to do with the high fructose corn syrup that is being fed to conventionally kept bees? Especially here in the US where the majority of corn is genetically modified.

I've heard that organically raised bees don't have a problem at all.

HERE IN HAWAII THE BEES ARE HEALTHY AND GOING STRONG, ALWAYS BUY RAW HONEY, I WONDER WHY THE FDA WANTS IT HEATED TO KILL BACTERIA WHEN IT DOESNT HOLD ANY, JUST TO KILL THE HEALTH BENIFITS FOR US. I KEEP MINE OUT OF THE FRIG. TAKE A TBLSPOON ONCE OR TWICE A DAY.

I eat a spoonful of local honey each day just to help out with allergies. I also take Vitamin C and D-3, and I haven't had any sort of allergy problem in years - no matter how many chemtrails they spray above my head.

lol. That reminded me of a recall in Canada from a few years back and an interesting phone conversation transcript from that time.

"NO NAME" BRAND WHO’S ON FIRST?
James Fischer

NEWS RELEASE:
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency detected nitrofurans
in honey packaged for consumer sale, and ordered a recall
of Honey sold by the Loblaws company under the trade
name “No Name Brand” Honey.

The affected lot numbers are 220EQ and 248EQ...

Ring, Ring, Ring...

A: Good morning, CANADUH, how may I help you?

Q: Did I dial correctly? Did you say “CanaDUH”? Shouldn’t you say “Canada”?
A: “CANADUH” is the “Canadian Agency Notifying All on Demonstrated Unsafe Health.” How may I help you?
Q: I’m calling about the contaminated honey that I read about in he newspaper.
A: Yes, I can assist you with that.
Q: Which honey is contaminated with Nitrofurans?
A: No Name Brand.
Q: No honey is contaminated?
A: No, honey IS contaminated!!!
Q: Did I hear you just say that no honey is contaminated?
A: Honey IS contaminated. That’s why we ordered a recall.
Q: OK, you ordered a recall of what brand?
A: No Name Brand.
Q: So you didn’t recall any brand of honey?
A: No, we DID recall a brand of honey!
Q: So which brand of honey is contaminated?
A: No Name Brand.
Q: So, no name brand of honey is contaminated?
A: Yes, exactly.
Q: So only honey sold by local beekeepers, without a name
brand is contaminated?
A: Absolutely none of the honey sold by local beekeepers is contaminated.
Q: But then IS any honey actually contaminated?
A: Yes.
Q: And a specific name brand of honey is contaminated?
A: Yes.
Q: But the brand has no name?
A: No, the brand IS “No Name”.
Q: How can a big company sell honey with no name brand?
A: It is a major name brand.
Q: Then are you refusing to divulge the name brand?
A: No, the name brand is “No Name Brand”.
Q: So, is the label, like blank or something?
A: No, the label says “No Name Brand” on the label.
Q: Now wait just a second! I go to the store, OK?
A: Sure.
Q: And I want to buy some honey, OK?
A: That’s a fine idea. Honey is good.
Q: But I don’t want any of those Nitrofurans, OK?
A: Understandable.
Q: So I walk up to the shelf, and I see a jar of honey with no
name brand. That’s the one to avoid, right?
A: That’s the one.
Q: So as long as I buy honey with a name brand, I’m not going to get any Nitrofurans in my honey.
A: No, if you buy honey with the name brand “No Name Brand,” there might be Nitrofurans in that honey.
Q: Never mind. Just forget about the names, OK?
A: But you called and asked...
Q: Just drop it, please?
A: Very well, sir.
Q: What is the health risk posed by Nitrofurans in honey if I have already eaten some?
A: Almost none. The amount of nitrofurans in the honey are uniformly low and
pose a low risk.
Q: Can I get a disease?
A: It is a potential carcinogen.
Q: You mean it might make me commit sins in my car?
A: No, carcinogens are things that can cause cancer.
Q: But why would these Nitrofurans get in honey?
A: Perhaps because it is an antimicrobial drug.
Q: But I read that honey is one of the oldest antimicrobial
substances known to man! Why would anyone need to use an
antimicrobial drug when they had honey around?
A: We are still researching that.
Q: So, it is a potential carcinogen, but it poses a low risk.
A: Exactly.
Q: But if it is such a low risk, then why the recall?
A: To protect the public.
Q: AGAINST WHAT?
A: Against the risk.
Q: Against the “low” risk?
A: But it is a risk. The public is advised whenever there is a health concern.
Q: Uh, do you know how MUCH honey is contaminated?
A: Only a few lots.
Q: Well, is it a few jars, or a lot?
A: It’s not much, really.
Q: Then why did you say “lots”?
A: Because lots are contaminated.
Q: You mean “a lot IS contaminated”.
A: No, TWO lots are contaminated!
Q: My head hurts. Let’s move on, shall we?
A: Of course, sir.
Q: Now, the contaminated honey is imported, right?
A: Correct.
Q: So if I buy honey that says “Canada” on the label, then I won’t get Nitrofurans in my honey, right?
A: No, I’m afraid that’s not correct.
Q: Huh?
A: If you buy honey labeled “Canada No. 1”, it most likely is blended with
honey from other countries.
Q: How can anyone get away with calling honey from other
countries “Canada No. 1”?
A: Well, it is like the “USDA Grade A” label in that country just to the South of us. It is an assurance that the honey meets certain quality standards.
Q: But shouldn’t “quality” at least imply uncontaminated honey?
A: We’re trying, sir.
Q: Yes, you’re very trying.
es, you’re very trying.
A: Thank you, sir... I think.
Q: But wait a moment – I read that Canada produces TONS of honey, more than most other countries, right?
A: Yes, Canada is one of the largest producers of honey in the entire world.
Q: So why would anyone IMPORT honey into Canada?
A: Because Canada exports most of its honey, to places like the U.S.
Q: Where is it all labeled “USDA Grade A”?
A: Exactly.
Q: So if I want to be sure I am buying Canadian honey...
A: Yes sir, you should mail-order it from the U.S.

speaking of honey anyone here got their own beehive? How did you set it up?

Honey and wheat grains have been found in ancient pyramids and were still edible. They don't spoil.

OR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

yall really gotta move out of the city

I'd love to have one! I'm super poor and live in an apartment, so I'm shit out of luck on getting a full blown hive up and running any time soon. I wish they had small scale units like those Sea Monkeys kits. That would be awesome! Five little bees in their own little mini-hive making a few spoonful's of honey for me every week. I'd get them pretty flowers for the windowsill and even some green grass, if they wanted. I'd be an awesome apartment beekeeper on a limited scale! Then again, there's a chance I'd get greedy and franchise out and open operations in other apartments and the shit would just get out of hand. No, I'd better not. I'd better stick to buying one can at a time. Yeah, we'll run with that.

I wrote an article about that a few years ago. I interviewed local beekeepers and how they got started. I really don't remember much, but the article is in "Women in the Outdoors" magazine from a few years ago. I'll try and find it. (I've got the pictures, but I don't think that will help)

Thanks , the topic fascinates me. Their social structure and all the hive produ8ces, honey, pollen, royal yelly, wax and so on. They are amazing.

Great story---

Just don't let the people at PETA hijack it. You know how they are. You can't use honey under ANY circumstances.
Sheesh. What a bunch of absolutists.

ONIONS

A friend of mine told me a story about how when he was a kid
he was in the hospital & near dying. His Italian
grandmother came to the hospital & told a family member to
go buy her a large onion & a new pair of white cotton socks.
She sliced the onion open then put a slice on the bottom of
each of his feet & put the white cotton socks on him. In
the morning when he awoke they removed the socks. The
slices of onion were black & his fever was gone. The
following story that someone sent to me might have some
truth in it & we are going to try it this winter.


In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was
this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he
could help them combat the flu. Many of the farmers and
their family had contracted it and many died.

The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise,
everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the
farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that
she had placed an unpeeled oni on in a dish in the rooms of
the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor
couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the
onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one
and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the
onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore,
keeping the family healthy.

Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in AZ. She said
that several years ago many of her employees were coming
down with the flu and so were many of her customers. The
next year she placed several bowls with onions around in
her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It
must work. (And no, she is not in the onion business.)

The moral of the story is, buy some onions and place them
in bowls around your home. If you work at a desk, place
one or two in your office or under your desk or even on top
somewhere. Try it and see what happens. We did it last
year and we never got the flu.

If this helps you and your loved ones from getting sick, all
the better. If you do get the flu, it just might be a mild
case...

&nbs p; Whatever, what have you to lose? Just a few bucks on onions!

Now there is a P. S. to this for I sent it to a friend in
Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health
issues. She replied with this most interesting experience
about onions:


Weldon,thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the
farmers story... but, I do know that I contacted pneumonia
and needless to say I was very ill... I came across an
article that said to cut both ends off an onion put one end
on a fork and then place the forked end into an empty jar...
placing the jar next to the sick patient at night. It said
the onion would be black in the morning from the germs...
sure enough it happened just like that... the onion was a
mess and I began to feel better.

Another thing I read in the article was that onions and
garlic placed around the room saved many from the black
plague years ago. They have powerful antibacterial,
antiseptic properties.

I recently read that coconut oil can help with acne and general skin problems. It seems counter intuitive, since its an oil, but gets good reviews. Here is a link with a discussion of it. [link to www.quickacneremedy.com] I haven't tried it myself for this because my pimple days are past, but have been using coconut oil for night creme and my aging skin is looking pretty darn good these days.
