Scientists are Lund University in Sweden are finding that 13 lactic acid bacteria found in raw honey are possibly powerful agents in combatting infections, particularly those infections that have grown resistant to commonly used antibiotics.
People have known about the healing power of honey on open wounds for hundreds of years, but just why it works has not been clear.
According to the American Bee Journal:
While the effect on human bacteria has only been tested in a lab environment thus far, the lactic acid bacteria has been applied directly to horses with persistent wounds. The LAB was mixed with honey and applied to ten horses; where the owners had tried several other methods to no avail. All of the horses’ wounds were healed by the mixture.
The researchers believe the secret to the strong results lie in the broad spectrum of active substances involved. (quoted)

this is all ready being done by use of a honey from down under called Medahoney from a firm here in the Cleveland Ohio area- I have used it and it works plus it is very good for burn patients – and please say hello to my old friend Jim Tew- Joe
Thanks, Joe. I need to look up Medahoney and see what that’s all about. Jim
wish some of your videos were readable as well. sometimes I had much rather read than watch & listen.Thanks
