I sent a post about sugar this morning but haven't seen it turn up on the list yet. Saralou.

Same results were reported with using sugar as the packing.
I think it has to do with the drying or absorption effect of sugar
(and honey).

As a scientist, Throckmorton knew that if he were ever to break wind
in the sound chamber he would never hear the end of it.

Here's a little info contrary to the drift of the honey botulinum
notion; post-WWI paralyzed vets often got bed-sores, sometimes now
called pressure ulcers.  One of the few effective treatments for the
condition was to clean the injury then cover with honey and a bandage.

It worked, not 100% but better than anything else.  The explanation was
that honey was sterile, prevented infection (acting as a preservative,
which it still does when at proper concentration - and that's
what the
bees do, they fan the hive until the honey is concentrated enough to
resist any spoilage) and the sugar fed the underlying flesh where
circulation had been damaged, allowing the body to repair itself and
regrow the necessary blood vessels and capillaries.  Much commercial
honey is not only heated, but diluted with water to the point where it
is no longer capable of killing bugs.

Dr. R. O. Becker has discussed the use of CS for healing stubborn
diabetes sores, even gangrenous ones.  See: The Body Electric

one of the main "benefits" of raw honey is active enzymes.
Hot tea (~200 degrees) makes the honey "not raw" and the enzymes are
destroyed.
