There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Here's what happened. Just came out of a Scope of my throat and upper GI tract looking to see if everything was okay. Everything turned out find, but for some reason, the place where the lady put the IV - I developed a huge red rash. First I was worried it was infected as it didn't go away and only got worse. I used Alcohol on it, washed it with soap and water and done everything to clean and keep it clean and disinfect it. Nothing really seemed to work. Was about to go to the ER to check it out, but before I did - I suspected it was a rash so I wanted to try this out before i went.
I took some of the honey on a wooden spatula stick, the ones they use for waxing and so forth and put all over my inner arm around the elbow area, but on the inside of the arm, that's where they put the IV. My family gave me this wierd look to confirm their long running suspicions that I was and had always been a bit crazy. I told them "but it says, antibacterial and so forth." They didn't say nothing just shook their heads.
5 minutes later i started seeing white spots underneath the honey where I had put it where I had had the red marks/rash. I thought oh oh - i probably made things worse. So I quickly went to the bathroom and washed my arm with soap and water. I looked at the rash and to my surprise and also delight it seemed about 30-40 of the rash already gone. I was like woh, that's cool. Don't need to go to the ER room, Went to sleep - woke up next morning. What can i tell you 90-95 of the red marks/rash had completely gone. I was amazed. There was still some little marks left, which also went away the next day. But it worked.
You know when people dismiss you about natural remedies - shove this in their face and spread it on their rash and so forth and lets see what they say then.
Great product, shame it so expensive, but what can you do. If you're gonna spend more money then you should. then spend it on this - it is worth every penny of its expensive price. That's the only thing i don't like about it, but I won't drop it a star because its so darn good.
As an aside - The sad part for me is that the doctors didn't seem overly concerned - kept telling us "MRSA is everywhere now, you can catch it anywhere" .When we would ask about chance of recurrence, or spreading it it others in our household, they basically said, yes, it might happen, might not. They were not being aggressive enough in my opinion in helping us prevent this. No one ever told us about de-colonizing ourselves. In my reading, I saw that the people with the most success in beating this back for good used a combination of Hibiclens wash to shower in for 10 days, disinfecting all towels, bedding, surfaces in home, and of course, the Manuka honey for wound treatment. There is also research that shows the MRSA like to colonize in the nose, so during this same time, you should also apply Bactroban in the nasal cavities each day for up to a month. This is also something that the doctors didn't tell us, or offer. When I asked about getting a prescription, he actually said, "Yes, we could do that to de-colonize the nases"! I mean, if they KNOW this will help prevent the spread and possible re-occurrence, why should I have had to ask about it at all? I swear, I am not a "conspiracy" type person, but it almost made me wonder if they are not all being so lax about this epidemic because of the incomes generated? I am sure, once all is said and done, my husband's insurance will have paid about $3000 for his treatment and follow up visits, as well as the $90 in co-pays we have paid already. What's their motive for trying to prevent this from happening again or from giving it to someone else?
Take control of your own treatment plans, be aggressive in treating, and learn all you can about what you're facing. You are your family's best advocate. Good luck!

Besteld manuka raw and unpasteurized 13 UMF MGO400
Der Manuka Honig wird prinzipiell wie jeder andere Honig auch hergestellt. Eine Honigbiene erzeugt aus dem Blütennektar den allseits beliebten Honig. Nur was ist denn nun anders beim so vielbeschworenem Manuka Honig?
Hier wird die Honigbiene nicht auf irgendeine Blüte “losgelassen“ sondern auf eine ganz spezielle, nämlich der Südseemyrte (Manuka) und diese Pflanze, gibt es nur in wenigern Regionen und diese sind, in einer bergigen Region Neuseelands und im Südosten Australiens. Die Südssemyrte ist eine Verwandte des australischen Teebaumes.
Schon die alten Maori haben die Blätter und die Rinde des Manuka-Baumes zu schätzen gewusst. Diese wurden schon damals zur Wundreinigung (Desinfektion) und zur Unterstützung der Heilung von Wunden verwendet. Weiterhin kam diese bei Infektionen, Blasenentzündungen und Erkältungen zum Einsatz.
Nun aber zum eigentlichen Produkt. Der Manuka Honig von “Manuka Health“ kommt in einem verdunkelten Plastik Behälter geliefert. Hier komme ich gleich zum ersten Kritikpunkt denn in meinen Augen hat dieser hochwertige Honig NICHTS in einem Kunststoffbehälter zu suchen sondern MUSS in Glasbehältern geliefert werden. Sehr schade…..
Der hier vorhandene MGO (Methylglyoxal) Wert, liegt bei 400+. Dieser Wert sagt aus, wie hoch ein gewisses Zuckerabbauprodukt, welches eine antibakterielle Wirkung besitzt, im Honig ist. Umso höher dieser Wert umso höher die wohl antibakterielle Wirkung (und natürlich auch umso teurer). Dieses Abbauprodukt wird wohl erst durch die Biene in Kombination mit der Sudseemyrte produziert.
All das wurde oder ist auch Hauptaugenmerk einige Studien renommierter Universitäten und auch diese bestätigen eine Antibakterielle Wirkung. Teilweise wird Manuka Honig auch von Kliniken als Wundauflage Mittel zur unterstützung der Heilung von Wunden, eingesetzt (hier natürlich ein speziell behandeltes Manuka Präparat)
Da sich viele “Schwarze Schafe“ im Manuka Geschäft herumtrieben ist es wichtig zu schauen, welcher Anbieter den Honig herstellt bzw. verkauft. Dieser Hersteller “Manuka Health“ ist ein zertifizierter Hersteller und Mitglied in der UMF-Organisation. Daher gehe ich davon aus, dass der MGO Wert hier der Wahrheit entspricht.
Der eigentliche Honig unterschiedet sich doch etwas vom normalen handelsüblichen Honig. Der Geruch wirkt in meiner Nase, schwerer und empfinde diesen als “rauchiger“. Auch geschmacklich reiht der Honig sich ins ungewöhnliche ein und beim ersten probieren wird der Honig sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig sein. Dennoch gewöhnt man sich schnell an den Geschmack. Der Zuckergehalt liegt mein Manuka Honig höher als beim normalen Honig aber das schmeckt man wie ich finde nicht heraus.
Wie nimmt man den Manuka Honig zu sich?
Eigentlich ist dieser vielseitig einsetzbar, zum süssen von Speisen, Pur, zum auftragen auf die Haut usw… Interessanterweise geht der MGO Gehalt auch bei einer Erhitzung des Honigs nicht verloren und deshalb ist der Honig ach in heißen Gerichten verwendbar.
Persönlich nehme ich den Manuka Honig bei Bedarf pur ein (1 Teelöffel täglich) oder bei beginnenden Beschwerden (grippale Infekte) 2x täglich 1 Teelöffel.
Wirkt Manuka Honig bei mir?
Tja, jetzt kommen wir natürlich zur alles entscheidenen Frage die ich nicht 100%ig beantworten kann. Nehme den Honig nun seit etwas mehr als 1 Jahr bei Bedarf ein und ein größerer Infekt blieb mit in dieser Zeit bisher erspart, normalerweise bekomme ich im Jahr 1-2 fieberhafte Infekte. Weiterhin nehme ich den Honig auch gerne bei leichten Magenbeschwerden ein und auch hier habe ich den Eindruck, dass der Honig die Beschwerden zumindest etwas lindern. Ob das nun vom Kopf kommt oder wirklich am Honig liegt kann nich wie schon gesagt nicht wirklich festmachen.
Zusammenfassung
• + Zertifizierter Hersteller
• + subjektiv zeigt der Honig eine Wirkung
• + Nach einer Eingewöhnung, leckerer Geschmack
• + Vielseitig einsetzbar
• - Leider in einem Kunststoffbehälter
• - Sehr Teuer
Alles in allem, sagen wissenschaftliche Studien dem Manuka Honig schon eine gewisse positive Wirkung nach aber ausser meinem subjektiven Gefühl kann ich das leider nicht 100%ig bestätigen. Dennoch glaube ich, meinem subjektiven Gefühl und meine Empfehlung lautet, einfach mal selber ausprobieren…. 5 Sterne weil ich trotz alledem an die Wirkung des Honigs glaube.
