I have type 2 diabetes and as such wound care is important. I was moving some steel plates when I one slipped and sliced my leg. I went to the hospital and received treatment I was prescribed antibiotics and an antibiotic gel Bactrim I think it was called. My injury would not heal and progressively got worse over the course of 2mos. I was picking up a new prescription for this and discussing this with my pharmacist when a woman approached me and said "Honey you don't need all that poison, you need some good ole honey" I thought this lady is batshit crazy until i went online and looked it up and sure enough there is Medical Sterile Honey made in New Zealand. I was able to purchase it on Amazon for $19.00 and tried it out, within a week of using it my injury had healed, WTF? I promptly ordered 5 more tubes lolol.

PO3 Brad Phlipot Honey has been used as an antibacterial disinfectant for thousands of years. I didn't even know there was 'medical' grade, I thought any sort would do.

PO3 Brad Phlipot - Here's a good article:

And here's an academic paper on the subject:

The short version is:
"Honey has been known for its healing properties for thousands of years - the Ancient Greeks used it, and so have many other peoples through the ages. Even up to the second world war, honey was being used for its antibacterial properties in treating wounds. "

Honey is much more than a delicious gooey treat. It has been known for its healing properties for thousands of years.
