permaculture

[sal schettino <sals3@cox.net>]

I have been using Manus Honey for years instead of Neosporin etc.  the honey 
works best thanks for the post this must be the kind honey . Some one told me 
Manus is the tea tree.   that would be nice!  its from New Zealand. Its raw.

> These lactic acid bacteria have now been tested on severe human wound
> pathogens such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus
> aureus (MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa and
> vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), among others. When the lactic acid
> bacteria were applied to the pathogens in the laboratory, it counteracted
> all of them.
> 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.
> "Antibiotics are mostly one active substance, effective against only a
> narrow spectrum of bacteria. When used alive, these 13 lactic acid
> bacteria produce the right kind of antimicrobial compounds as needed,
> depending on the threat. It seems to have worked well for millions of years
> of protecting bees' health and honey against other harmful
> microorganisms. However, since store-bought honey doesn't contain the
> living lactic acid bacteria, many of its unique properties have been lost
> in recent times", explains Tobias Olofsson.
> The next step is further studies to investigate wider clinical use against
> topical human infections as well as on animals.
> The findings have implications for developing countries, where fresh honey
> is easily available, but also for Western countries where antibiotic
> resistance is seriously increasing.
