Mysterious Honey Destroys All Bacteria It Touches Australian researchers rediscovered an immaculate cure for bacterial disease that seems to only exist in the New Zealand/Australia corner of the world; Manuka Honey. Manuka Honey was available in health shops around the area for a while before now, but recently it leaked into the mainstream just how effective this honey is at treating pathogens. The honey was used by indigenous people as medicine for who knows how long before this rediscovery. Honeyfrom bees native to other areas is medicinal too of course, but Australian researchers recently found that this particular honey functions better to treat bacterial infections better than all known antibiotics. It literally kills any bacteria or pathogens it touches. It can be applied externally to basically any infection. Not only that, but the bacteria were reported to get zero immunity to the honey over time. That means these ‘superbugs’ engineered by the repeated use of antibiotics could be killed by this special Manuka Honey. The bees that produce this honey feed on tea trees local to Australia and New Zealand. This honey can only come from bees who fed on pollen from these trees, says Professor Dee Carter, of The University of Sydney’s School of Molecular and Microbial Biosciences. She also said “Honey sounds very homey and unscientific, which is why we needed the science to validate the claims made for it,” and “Most bacteria that cause infections in hospitals are resistant to at least one antibiotic, and there is an urgent need for new ways to treat and control surface infections, ” “New antibiotics tend to have short shelf lives, as the bacteria they attack quickly become resistant. Many large pharmaceutical companies have abandoned antibiotic production because of the difficulty of recovering costs. Developing effective alternatives could therefore save many lives. ” She also said “a compound in the honey called methylglyoxal combined in unknown ways with other unidentified compounds in the honey to cause multi-system failure in the bacteria.”
