Raw Manuka honey is renown for healing open battlefield wounds +
hard to heal wounds/sores in the hospital. Used in 1550 by
Egyptians. Contains hydrogen peroxide. Honey must have rating of 4%+ of
antiseptic ability as compared to phenol (carbolic disinfectant) for a
rating as 'active honey' such as Manuka, Rewarewa & Wild Flora. Manuka has an additional anti-bacterial
component (UMF/unique Manuka factor, called active UMF 10+) in addition
to it's hydrogen peroxide. Manuka honey can be purchased in strengths of
5%-20%. Cr Peter Molan of University of Waikato is cited for his
research. Honey New Zealand (HNZ) is a century old

MANUKA HONEY USA www.manukahoneyusa.com
"Dr. Peter Molan,
Associate Professor, Honey Research Unit Waikato University in New
Zealand has been researching Active Manuka Honey for the past 25+ years.
He found that it does not matter what type of bacteria one is dealing with on an external wound, when this Active Manuka Honey UMF16+ is applied, the wound will heal naturally...A MEDIUM strength Active Manuka Honey with a UMF Rating of UMF 16-18 works for 99.9% of our (retail) customers without any side effects. A little burning or stinging sensation when the honey is first applied to a wound is normal, and in most cases quite tolerable. However, if you were to use an Active Manuka Honey with a UMF Factor of 20+ / 25+ / 30+ (for some) it will be unbearable & quite painful, & (vendor contends that) this "over-strong" honey will not (necessarily) heal anything faster." http://bio.waikato.ac.nz/honey/contents.shtml |

(http://www.airborne.co.nz/rata.shtml , nodding thistle http://www.airborne.co.nz/nodthis.shtml , http://www.airborne.co.nz/thyme.shtml New Zealand honey) 34 New Zealand honey samples from certified sources were supplied by the New Zealand Honey Food and Ingredient Advisory Service of the National Beekeepers Association of New Zealand; these included samples of clover (Trifolium spp.), Northern Rata (Metrosideros robusta), kamahi (Weinmannia racemosa), Vipers Bugloss (Echium vulgare) http://www.airborne.co.nz/vipersb.shtml , tawari (Ixerba brexioides), rewarewa (Knightia excelsa), Pohutakawa (Metrosideros excelsa), Clover/Gum (Eucalyptus spp.), Clover/Blackberry (Rubus fruticosus), Clover/Catsear (Hypochaeris radicata), Beech (Nothofagus spp.), Honeydew http://www.airborne.co.nz/hnydew.shtml , Koromiko (Hebe spp.), Mingimingi (Cyathodes juniperina) and Penny Royal (Mentha pulegium).

Manuka Honey -
http://tnymed.com/?p=200 -
"The finding
that Helicobacter pylori is probably the
causative agent in many cases of
dyspepsia has raised the possibility that the
therapeutic action of honey may be due to its
antibacterial properties.
Consequently, the sensitivity of Helicobacter pylori to honey was tested, using isolates from biopsies of gastric ulcers. It was found that all five isolates tested were sensitive to a 20% (v/v) solution of manuka honey in an agar well diffusion assay, but none showed sensitivity to a 40% solution of a honey in which the antibacterial activity was due primarily to its content of hydrogen peroxide. [Remember what I explained about how Manuka doesn’t USE hydrogen peroxide]" in it's antibacterial activity... "Neither the age of the (numerous
unpasterurized) honey samples nor whether they
had been processed by the
apiarist was associated with lower activity. However,
the difference
between floral sources in the antibacterial activity
was very highly significant. Kanuka (Kunzea ericoides (A. Rich.) J.
Thompson. Family: Myrtaceae), manuka (Leptospermum scoparium J. R. et G.
Forst. Family: Myrtaceae), ling heather (Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull.
Family: Ericaceae) & kamahi (Weinmannia racemosa Linn. f. Family:
Cunoniaceae) were shown to be sources likely to give
honey with high antibacterial activity.
(However) [A lot of different types of honey have antibacterial
effects;] (when) antibacterial activity was
assayed with catalase added to remove hydrogen peroxide,
most of the honeys showed NO
detectable antibacterial activity.

Silver
"Some have used colloidal
silver
in a nasal spray mister." -
This liquid can be found in health
food stores.
http://www.all-natural.com/silver-1.html -
"The presence of
colloidal
silver
near a virus, fungus, bacterium or any other single celled pathogen
disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme, its chemical lung, so to
say. Within a few minutes (of spraying on the skin), the pathogen
suffocates and dies, & is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic
& elimination systems.
Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, which destroy beneficial enzymes, colloidal silver leaves these tissue-cell enzymes intact, as they are radically different from the enzymes of primitive single-celled life." If ingested for anti-bacterial purposes, most providers recommend that one NOT exceed 1 teaspoon per day. "The ideal color of colloidal silver is a golden yellow... If it needs to be shaken, it is inferior. If a product requires refrigeration, some other ingredient is present that could spoil. The container and dropper must be glass." Refrigeration is a good idea. To protect clothing, spray at night, perchance underwear/PJ's/sheets turn silver/grey/black. |

2/2016 "I came in. I heard what was going on, and I said, 'Honey, let me explain something to you. If you don’t understand, if you can’t hear my voice, if you don’t understand authority, you open the door for demonic attacks upon your life.' I said, 'You confess that what you did was wrong. I will forgive you and make intercession, and God will heal you.' He said, 'I was wrong & shouldn’t have done it,' which he immediately responded. Faith cometh by hearing, and I had a teaching from a woman that had been born helplessly deformed & God appeared her, Betty Baxter. You may have heard this story. My son listened to it. He says, 'Do you believe that’s true?' I said yes. He’s 12 years old. He said, 'If God will do it for that woman he’ll do it for me.' He got up with 2nd & 3rd degree burns on his face, on his chest, on his arms, skin hanging, undid himself, & went & got in the bathtub, & came back in 15 minutes. There was not a mark on his body." |

- Sr.Briege & The
Eucharistic Miracle -
"Before the Mass began, she watched an old woman coming in, carrying a
bundle on
her shoulder. At first, Sr. Briege thought that it was some form of a gift for Fr. Rick. But, when the old woman opened up the cloth, in it there was a little child, completely burned from head to fool, filthy dirty, and screaming. The woman looked at Fr. Rick, and with great compassion, she said, 'Please bless him. I found him smouldering when I was coming across the mountain.' She had picked him up, put him into this cloth, & carried him to Fr. Rick. The child was practically skinless. Fr. Rick looked at the little boy, got Sr. Briege to join with him in a prayer, & then suggested that he be placed under the table on which the Mass was to be celebrated...
Mass ended
& the burned little boy, who had been
placed under the Mass table, had long
since stopped crying. Sr. Briege went to
look for him & was overwhelmed
when she saw him.
He had crawled out from under the table, was totally healed, & was playing in the sand." |
