Har har ! He reminds us that a surgical transformation would only make you LOOK like a horse, and recommends either a brain transplant, or magic.

Comment on Cinnamon and honey can cure anything! by JellyBelly

Hey it tastes nice, isn’t caffeine, so I think its good for an a refreshing drink – plus it isn’t expensive.

Honey specifically designed for wound care does have an antibacterial quality and it provides a moist wound healing environmnet, facilitates debridement of necrotic or sloughy tissue. It has its place in wound care, but don’t use the eating variety – may be asking for trouble.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was such an amazing cure for all those ailments.

We need to think critically and explore the research and evidence available before siting any miracle cures.

Great website – had fun reading it.

I have only been thinking about drinking some honey and cinnamon tea after reading this board and I feel better already. Imagine how good I will feel once a actually drink some. It’s true – Honey and Cinnamon does work.

P.S I wonder if it will cure my blindness.

An account I read many years ago said that the cellulose he acquired came only from the red ink that was used on playing cards.
It said that he scraped the red ink off more than 20 decks of cards… He probably ignited it by striking the metal leg cap, as the glycerin would ignite if shaken enough…
The account I read also reported that he languished for 2-3 days in the infirmary before dying…

Yeah right I don`t know were you got the info about the trial. I`m using it (bought 20 to try it). For one week I was on a 650kcal diet (192cm height, 137kg of weight, no sports before the diet) using hornet juice before swimming in a 25m pool. The effect- I was able to swim a whole hour long without a heavy breath and with HR avg 138bpm. I was doing so a whole week trough, So yes, it works. Try it yourself.

Regarding killing enzymes in honey. Since enzymes are chemicals, they are not alive, so cannot be killed. Since most are protein based, they can be denatured.

I dropped a hot coal between my toes and burnt it quite severely. I tried all the burn salves and anything else the pharmacist recommended but having to wear shoes all day nothing worked. After it had began to ulcerate and get extremely nasty I talked to my father and he told me to put a good red wine or the sugar from the bottom of the honey on it. I didn’t want to waste the good wine (I might have needed it to kill the pain) on my nasty toe so I tried the honey (it had to be the sugared part on the bottom of the bottle). Within a few days it began to get better and healed completly in a week. I’m not a big herbal or natural healing person but I do believe some things work better than medicines.

Oh Frank, I’ve just scanned this message board and my heart is well and truly sunk.

I actually can’t look at your message boards very often because it’s the sort of thing I have to psyche myself up for, and then afterwards probably go and do some breathing exercises. How do you cope with it every day?!
