Re: CS>Could honey be a replacement for antibiotics against resistant bacteria? Jarrah honey.

Pasteurizing destroys all the enzymes, changing honey from a very 
healthy food to something akin to corn syrup.  Also note that almost ALL 
major brand honey such as Kroger and Sioux Bee is not real honey any 
more.  Honey is the second most adulterated food, just behind milk.  Buy 
at farmer's market or local beekeeper if you can, but unfortunately use 
of poisons in the beehives is now so widespread, it can be difficult to 
find a source that has real pure honey.  I am starting a beehive in 
about 10 days, and to avoid poisons can not even use comb foundation any 
more, it is all made from poisoned wax, so I am having to go 
foundationless and have them draw out their own comb.  That is the only 
way I can be sure I am getting pure unadulterated honey.

Thanks for that Rowena.  I suspect pasteurising the honey would affect 
its healing properties as well so it seems pure raw honey straight 
from the beekeeper would be the stuff to use.
