Long ago, I read where men that raised bees, used the honey for cuts. It stated no bacteria will grow in honey. I have never had honey to go bad, so I started using it.
Last night my dog was playing with me and he threw out his foot and it caught my arm and cut a deep place across my forearm. It started bleeding pretty bad, and I held a paper towel over it to stop the bleeding so I could put honey on it. I then put a little honey on my finger and made a smalls strip right across the cut. Then I taped it up with some water proof tape just to keep the honey from getting on furniture and my clothes. I tore the tape off while I was feeding this morning, and was able to keep it on to keep dirt out. When I came back in, the cut was sealing together, and there was no redness like you get with cuts. I took another drop of honey and smeared it back over the cut, then put a super large bandaid across it again.
As many deep cuts that I have got from cattle panels and such, the honey has kept the infection out and the scarring down to almost nothing. It is definitely worth using if you can remember it when you get a bad cut.
Too bad the big pharma companies can't take control of it. It blows other antibiotic ointments away!!

Urine was also an old time cure.

Honey is too cheap for the big companies to make money on it. Urine is a pure water for cleaning cuts.

Since the time of Hezekiah... not honey, but same effect. www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Kings+20%3A1-7&version=NASBThe high sugar content will lyse the cell walls of bacteria. It won't kill clostridium spores, so honey isn't safe for babies to eat, but it kills pretty much everything else. The sugar also draws moisture promoting healing. Manuka honey (sp?) is supposed to be the best, but I can't remember what property the pollen from the plant is supposed to possess.... but regular honey does the trick as you've already seen. Or just plain sugar. Key is to have enough volume that you kill bacteria and not a tiny amount that you feed them.
