Getting to know information about manuka honey for h. pylori research
Surprisingly, many people see the honey from bees as simply something to apply all over your bread. However it has a lot more uses than that.
Throughout recorded history honey has been widely known for its remedial attributes. Ongoing research shows that it was known and used by the Ancient civilizations. Research shows the Egyptians had over five hundred medical prescriptions for honey. The Greek civilization utilised it especially for problems with the skin and wounds. Right through recorded history people have applied different types of honey for healing roles as well as for its antibacterial and healing attributes in dealing with cuts and burns.
The ancients also knew that honey collected from different regions and at particular times of the year had special characteristics.
However with the evolution of modern antibiotics and penicillin its use fell by the wayside for general medical use.
Let's look at the uses of honey but first we'll have a look at what it's comprised of.
Honey is made up of about eighty percent sugars and it is a effective choice to sugar in foodstuffs and drink, as long as its not used to excess. It's also full of diverse minerals, , amino acids and vitamins (A,B,C,D, E and K) used by your body. Honey is reasonably acidic and this helps combating the bacteria it comes in contact with.
Manuka Honey is made from the blooms of the Manuka Bush. Biochemist Professor Peter Molan has discovered that manuka honey has a special element not found anywhere else in the world. He has called it the Unique Manuka Factor or simply UMF.
Initial tests indicate that Manuka honey is considerably more forceful than ordinary honey in treating many medical problems. These include:
- contemporary research demonstrates that it could also be used to hold back the incubation of highly infectious, drug-resistant micro-organisms.
- Julie Betts, a nurse has fruitfully utilised honey to handle leg ulcerations and pressure sores. Additionally it helps healing after surgery - particularly for diabetic sufferers.
- Dr Glenys Round who specialises in cancer treatment has also observed honey to be an efficient therapy."We have used honey to treat fungating cuts, where the cancer has broken through the skin," she said. "The results in those situations have been very promising."
- Comvita has recently set up a new medical products division to take hi-tech honey bandagings originated by Peter Molan to the worldwide market. "It looks like a piece of rubber sheet, you can handle it without it feeling sticky at all. Wounds that were previously untreatable of many types are today found to be medically treated by honey," said Ray Lewis from Comvita.
- A Manchester cancer hospital is employing manuka honey from New Zealand to handle post-surgical patients, as well as mouth, tongue and throat cancer.
