A new scientific study has shown that honey has special characteristics that help to defend against germs. Honey also has high capability to resistbacteria that evolved their immune systems against standard medications. Honey, in the old and modern era, has always been used as a natural medicine for many diseases. This new study might be a new twist to use honey for medical purposes. According to the study that has been done through Sidney University in Australia, Dekarter, a scientific teacher in the biological and microbial science college says, "our research has shown that honey can replace many of the antibiotics that are used to treat cuts such as ointments and different creams. Also, using honey for healing purposes will increase the aging period of antibiotics. "She also adds:" most of the bacteria that cause infections in hospitals are at least resistance to one type of antibiotic, which means the need to produce new and stronger antibiotics that are able to execute bacteria that cause diseases. "
Honey is a complicated compound that is consists of 800 molecules. This complication makes it difficult for scientists to fully understand the honey's mechanism of resisting and killing the bacteria. scientist Dekarter says: "until now, we have not found the method the honey apply to resist bacteria, but most likely there is the molecule" Methylglyoxal ", which is part of the honey, that reacts with other molecules which we have not discovered yet , to become able to inhibit bacteria from multiplying and making new generations that have the ability to resist to antibiotics. " Doctor Rose Koper, from the Health Science college of Wells University, has conducted a research regarding honey's activity against bacteria, and she wrote the book "Honey facing cuts". In her book, she says: "there are many factors that give honey the special healing characteristics, including high sugar level, low water level, and low acidity."
A scientific study assures that Allah (SWT) supplied honey with natural antibiotics that kills dangerous microbes,
Honey is a healing for people My beloved for the sake of Allah! These new studies that are discovered by scientists and amaze them are not as surprising for us, because Allah Almighty has mentioned honey in his book, and revealed a chapter and call it "An-Nahl" which mean Bees. Allah almighty says: "And your Lord inspired the bee, saying:" Take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect * Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you "). There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying color wherein is healing for men. Verily, in this is indeed a sign for people who think "[An-Nahl 68-69]. In conclusion, we advise every sister and brother to always have honey available in their homes. Honey is useful for treating burns, cuts, pyorrhea and it, is good for skin, cold and virus infections. So, we must have honey and use it both for food and medicine; especially for children!

LOL, update:
After moving the thread out of 'philosophy,' where the cretin placed it to begin with, he came back and reposted it again, lolololol.
Well, we won't be seeing him again... honey or no honey... LOL!

Few food products hit the consumer sweet spot with such an effective sting. From bee to jar to table, honey seems as clean a product as you will find on the shelf.
Look more closely, however, and confusion sets in. Pure Australian Honey. Organic Certified Honey. Product of Australia. Made in Australia. No additives. Cold extracted.
Most of us are flying blind when it comes to what we are buying. Our idea of what constitutes honey in its most desirable form is skewed by cultural experience.
In Australia, we are conditioned to expect a product that is drizzly and droopy and sticky - a product that, as it happens, is honey whose health benefits have been most abused in the production process. At the other end of the scale, there is honey bearing the ''certified organic'' label, which often comes with a premium price tag.
Veteran beekeeper and honey maker John Winkels says cold extraction is the main criterion honey-lovers should be looking for, not the organic label.
''All the stuff that bees put in there, when they turn the nectar into honey, with heat it all goes,'' Mr Winkels said.
To be called organic, the product cannot be heated to about 45 degrees. That's where it starts to lose its health properties (raw honey contains its full complement of enzymes and antioxidants, and has antibacterial properties). But heating is also what gives honey the runny texture most Australian consumers demand.
''The problem is the Australian customers want liquid honey, it's a lot easier to spread,'' Mr Winkels said. ''Honey is heated because of consumers but it's not as good for you. Danish people, Germans, New Zealanders, they know their honey and they want it hard, they want it solid.''
Organic honey is a small but growing sector. But Australians still love their generic, runny honey.
The favourite is yellow box, what organic honey producer Brian Tanis labels ''almost the generic honey. It looks nice, it's not too sweet, it's not too strong''. In other words, it's bland, compared to the rich range of alternatives on offer.
Bland and overheated. And then there's the question of what is added to the mass-market honeys on offer.
In the US, studies have found consumers are buying honey that has been stripped of its pollen, had sugar added or been watered down. This is less of a problem in Australia, but labelling is again an issue.
When labels such as ''Made in Australia'' and ''Product of Australia'' allow manufacturers flexibility as to the actual truth of the claim, it's open to producers to adulterate their honey with stuff imported from China, its provenance and production method unknown.
''Very large honey packers will import honey into Australia to supplement their product,'' Mr Tanis said. ''It becomes about packaging laws. It might represent 20 per cent of your honey in a honey blend but it's still labelled 'Australian made' or an Australian product. But it will be 20 per cent Chinese honey. It's simply what the law lets you do.''
