Honey against stomach boils (ulcer)

Not every type of honey, and not from every meadow, but the specific varieties of honey that can be found in our area, not only in New Zealand, are excellent in combating the germs that cause boils. Writing for the Canadian newspaper Medical Post, Dr. Basil J.S. Grogono claims that modest bees may do more for those who suffer from peptic boil than the doctors could over the past decades in which too often they reached for drastic surgical procedures.
He writes that more and more experts understands the role that tiny microorganism, Helicobacter pylori, plays at peptic ulcers. Although some recommended the use of drugs for the suppression of the germs, Grogono says that these drugs have nasty side effects and that the germs can develop resistance to them. On the other hand, he quotes the recent study published in the publication Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine in which they tested antibacterial attributes of honey. One type, which the New Zealand bees produces nourished by plant by the name of manuka (Leptospermum ericoid), was effective in the fight against germs that cause ulcer.
A local chestnut honey has similar effect. Besides an intensive odor and a slightly bitter taste, it offers a healing effect of stomach ulcer, liver disease, varicose and disorders of blood circulation. Tests have shown that other types of honey have a preventive and curative effect on man. Honey of course should be taken daily.
