HONEY...WONDERFUL HONEY !!!!
Did you know there was a study in India compared the healing effects of honey to a conventional treatment (silver sulfadiazene) in 104 first-degree burn patients. After one week of treatment, 91 percent of honey treated burns were infection free compared with only 7 percent receiving the conventional treatment.
Finally, a greater percentage of patients' burns were healed more readily in the honey treated group.
Another study examined the wound healing benefits of honey applied topically to patients following Cesarean section and hysterectomy.
Compared to the group receiving the standard solution of iodine and alcohol, the honey treated group was infection free in fewer days, healed more cleanly and had a reduced hospital stay.
Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. What it will do is what some call 'turning to sugar'. In reality, honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will "crystallize". When this happens loosen the lid, boil some water and sit the honey container in the hot water, but turn off the heat and let it liquefy naturally. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. This will kill the enzymes in the honey.

Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.
Raw local honey has all of the enzymes that are suppose to make the weight loss effect happen.
Directions...
First you boil 1 cup of water, then you at 1 part
cinnamon into a cup with the hot water, and let it
steep. In other words, you leave it there to cool
down. DO NOT ADD THE HONEY TO THE HOT
WATER. just like the effect a microwave has on
breast milk, hot or boiling water will kill the enzymes
in the honey. Once the water is at room temp, you
add twice as much honey as you did cinnamon (i.e.
1/2 tsp cinn with 1 tsp honey) You should drink half
before going to bed and store the other half in the
fridge. In the morning, drink the second half and
wait a half hour before eating.
The enzymes in the honey remove fungus and
bacteria in your digestive tract. It also states that you
should see inches lost before weight loss. But, you
might hit a plateau stage after awhile. I have also
read that continuing to eat it, the mixture will help
to to stop fat from being stored in the body.
*When buying the honey, you should look for the
words RAW or UNPASTEURIZED ..pure honey is
usually pasteurized .Try to get local honey to your
area, it helps with allergies. If you cut back on
processed sugar and yeast based foods, you will get
better results'.
CANCER: Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder three times a day for one month.FATIGUE: Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body.

* SPECIAL CINNAMON NOTE:The cinnamon spices that you get in the super markets off the rack could likely be sawdust that has been colored and artificially flavored. It's better to get the sticks and grind them up yourself. Most spices are irradiated. This is done to eliminate bacteria, but spices are excellent bactericides so this process is just a way of destroying the best natural properties of them. You can get great quality spices from most high-end health foods stores Cinnamon can be confused for cassia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassia) It is also known as “bastard cinnamon”. True cinnamon is also known as "ceylon" cinnamon. There are other key words to look for such as Indonesian and Vietnamese. Avoid anything that is from these countries.
