Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 So I saw Manuka honey at Whole Foods today for the first time. I looked at the price label on the shelf, and was surprised to see that a 1 lb bottle was $8 or $9, about the same price as Really Raw, so I figured I'd pick up not one but TWO bottles. Well I must have looked at the wrong price label, or they put it where Really Raw was last week, cuz when I got home and was putting the groceries away I noticed that each bottle is $25.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I spent $52 on honey!!! This stuff HAD BETTER BE DAMN GOOD. LOL!

Two questions: Was it the medicinal variety or just the run of the mill stuff? How in the world could you not notice a $40 discrepancy!

Mine is " The Wild Bee " and it has some symbol on it that is a circle that says " Active 12+ " which appears to be some sort of certification or something but I have no idea what it means. I've heard " Whole Paycheck " is a ripoff before, but I guess it depends on location. Out here, it's the cheapest deal on basically anything that is organic or aimed at a " natural " or " alternative health " niche market. Not because they're inexpensive, but because all of the smaller fish have such outrageously higher prices. At least as far as I've seen, and barring buying direct from farmers.

The .pdf discusses the trademarked designation " UMF, " and not " A, " but I'm guessing it's the same?

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 , I didn't even think of it this way. I know that volcanic soil is some of the most fertile and nutritious soil out there so why wouldn't honey from the flowers that grow in that soil be exceptionally healthy? -Lana On 9/17/05, Idol <Idol@...> wrote: > - > > >I don't know about Honey Gardens but I would avoid RR and go with YS > >Organics if you want to buy something produced stateside.

It would make sense, certainly. I'm just wondering about the white color. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Hi , I have used Manuka Honey to fight a secondary skin infection on the arm from a cut that became infected. The cut was about 1/2 long and nothing serious, but it became infected, was VERY red and swelled up to the size of a gulf ball. I put Manuka Honey on it 4 times a day and covered it with a bandage. In 24 hours the swelling was 75% down with very little redness. By day 2 it was gone. A friend also had a cut on her arm that turned into a secondary infection with a red line that crept up her arm towards her shoulder, the line was about 4 to 5 inches in length. She did the same treatment I did. The line was GONE completely by day 2 and the infection was also gone by day 3. I have treated pink eye with Manuka Honey (it does burn/sting a bit in the eye) by diluting a small amount of the honey in warm water, and using an eye dropper to put drops in the eyes. I have used this method 3 times to get rid of pink eye. 2 of which were healed very well in about 3 to 4 days. One of those times was for myself ... I must say that it was a bit tougher for me, it took longer like a week and I did use other things as well. I have used Manuka Honey with a few other things to heal a VERY red inflamed, sore throat. A friend of mine's mother was in the hospital for knee surgery. Her incision became infected. The doctors put her on antibiotics. They didn't work. They changed her antibiotics. They didn't work. The infection was getting BAD. My friend told her mother's doctor that she wanted to put raw honey on the infected wound. He told her to go ahead and do it. She did and the infection cleared up in 41/2 days. That's my experience with Manuka Honey. The higher the " active " number the better. I have used active 10, active 20, and active 30. Again the only side effects experienced were some stinging/burning from using in the eyes. No side effects topically on the skin were experienced at all. I actually got mine from my local Whole Foods Market. You can get it online though. http://www.amazon.com/Wedderspoon-Organic-Manuka-Active-17-6-Ounce/dp/B000VK08OC I have heard this is a good source http://www.wedderspoon.com/ Happy Honey Hunting --- In , Parashis <artpages@...> wrote: > > My sister wrote that she heard on NPR .... > > > Hi, > I heard on NPR that New Zealand Manuka Honey has been FDA approved for treatment of methicillin drug resistant staphaloccus aura (the staph that killed Bob) > I think it has been approved for topical skin infections. > do any of the people on your chat groups know anything about this? > > > I would like to know of any adverse reactions about it and where I might purchase some if any of you know. > > Thanks very much > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
