Manuka honey can kill superbugs

Honey has been used to treat wounds since ancient times, but recent years have seen a surge of medical interest in the sticky stuff. Manuka honey has been the subject of particular interest, with the results of a study just published by Sydney University finding that it has powerful antibacterial properties, and is even effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Associate Professor Dee Carter, from Sydney University's School of Molecular and Microbial Biosciences said: "Our research is the first to clearly show that these honey-based products could in many cases replace antibiotic creams on wounds and equipment such as catheters. Using honey as an intermediate treatment could also prolong the life of antibiotics."

"Most bacteria that cause infections in hospitals are resistant to at least one antibiotic, and there is an urgent need for new ways to treat and control surface infections."

She added: "We don't quite know how these honeys prevent and kill infections, but a compound in them called methylglyoxal seems to interact with a number of other unknown compounds in honey to prevent infectious bacteria developing new strains that are resistant to it."

Honey is a complex substance, containing up to 800 compounds and its complexity means it has been difficult to pinpoint exactly how it kills bacteria.

Manuka is a type of honey that is made by bees pollinating the flowers of the Manuka bush, a member of the Leptospermum family that grows naturally in New Zealand.

Now, an Australian company is claiming to have produced the world's most potent medical-grade antibacterial honey, made by bees pollinating the Australian jellybush, also a member of the Leptospermum family.

Australia's Medi Bioactive Honey Company claims its Berringa antibacterial honey has twice the antibacterial content of normal manuka honey, and has launched the product in the UK.

Dr Rose Cooper of the University of Wales Cardiff School of Health Sciences has researched honey's antibacterial action and has written a book called "Honey in Modern Wounds Management."

Cooper told CNN that there are many components in honey that contribute to its antibacterial nature. She says its high sugar content, low water content and low pH are all factors. Additionally, some honey produces hydrogen peroxide, which can kill bacteria.

Since 2004, Britain's National Health Service has licensed the use of manuka-honey wound dressings and sterilized medical grade manuka-honey creams.Honey has been used to treat wounds since ancient times, but recent years have seen a... more

Multan Pakistan

The Honeybee "Nahel Asul"
Abu Bin Adam was a young child in Multan Pakistan, it was July 11th 1977, the day was very hot and humid one of Abu's friend from school decided to skip school for that day to go and eat fresh honey from bee hives. Abu and his friend decided to take the a few cows, buffalos, sheep's and his friends dog Tommy for herding and their job was to keep eyes on the animals and take them to the river so they can eat and swim. Abu's favorite ride was the bull ride by holding the bulls horns and Abu's job was to keep eyes on the animals and to twist their tail whenever they slowed down.
After few hours they got to the river and went to find the bee hives, within an hour later they were able to find an hive underneath a mango tree in a mango garden, Abu never had a problem with the honeybees to take the honey, but that day the bees were angry and wouldn't let Abu or his friend close to their hive to get honey. So Abu and his friend decided to borrow a match to make smoke to get the bees away from the hive. Finally they were able to find a match from a guy at the river, Abu and his friend created smoke, most of the bees took off and left.
Many of the bees were still in the hollow of the tree but they were dizzy due to smoke and harmless. Abu took fresh honey from the hive and put it in both of his eyes which made his eyes irritated but after a few second his eyes felt very fresh. Then Abu and his friend took all the honey from the hive and put it in a small jar. Some how from the tree, 10 for 15 bees stung Abu friend on his forehead which him dizzy, he sat down on the ground and started crying which made Abu very worried. A couple bees stung the dog Tommy too.
Abu prayed to his God (Rab) and asked Heavenly Light what to do to help his friend. The Heavenly Light told abu to take flowers from a mango tree and rub it in your hand for 10 minutes that created a smell in hands and put your hands on your friends forehead, the pain will then disappear. So abu did exactly what the heavenly light had said and put his hands on his friends forehead where the bee had bitten the pain disappeared and his friend was better so they decided to go back to the river to check on the animals at the river.
Blessing on humanity (Rabi) from Mehdi (Imam) and Adam (Jesus) the father and the son with Holy Spirit!
Time went by quick and in July 1991 Abu happened to be in New York at a collage with one of his friends. His friend happened to get stung by a bee and had a allergic reaction and stomach pain so he called 911 for an ambulance which took him to the hospital. That evening Abu finished his job and went to see his friend at the hospital. His friend was in the bed with his legs up so Abu asked the doctor what had happened and the doctor told Abu that he had gas pressure and we gave him anti gas medicine and that you can take him home now. The total bill at the hospital was $3,700.
Abu came home and prayed to his God ( Rab) and asked heavenly light why lack of patience in an educated society ? Answer was spoiled.
Human Faith is heavenly light of knowledge restriction on sacred light is eclipse on humanity and blasphemy.
Human faith teaches not only moral values it can give realistic purpose of achieving complete fulfillment of internal life. Our method of understanding both the universe and life is based on unlimited confidence in individual by teaching respect of nature. Human faith is Mehdi's and Adam's monotheistic faith and knows that God (Rab) is the creator and overseer of the universe at all the time and all matters. It is time to modernize our faith by adopting true faith and educate mankind in accordance with basic principle of life. Our vision is to introduce true human religion by mobilizing communities and faiths around the world to improve people's lives .Our mission is to strength the bond of humanity (Rabi) by introducing heavenly light .
IN GOD (Rab) WE TRUST WE HAVE FAITH IN HUMANITY (Rabi)
