Manuka Health UMF 13+/MGO 400+ Manuka Honey (250g/8.8oz), Superfood, Authentic Raw Honey from New Zealand

Wonderful honey super helpful with reflux.

This honey is really the BeesWax. It tastes great and you know when they say oh its antibacterial and blah blah blah. Well I actually tried it. And it worked, almost like a miracle.Here's what happened. Just came out of a Scope of my throat and upper GI tract looking to see if everything was okay. Everything turned out find, but for some reason, the place where the lady put the IV - I developed a huge red rash. First I was worried it was infected as it didn't go away and only got worse. I used Alcohol on it, washed it with soap and water and done everything to clean and keep it clean and disinfect it. Nothing really seemed to work. Was about to go to the ER to check it out, but before I did - I suspected it was a rash so I wanted to try this out before i went.I took some of the honey on a wooden spatula stick, the ones they use for waxing and so forth and put all over my inner arm around the elbow area, but on the inside of the arm, that's where they put the IV. My family gave me this wierd look to confirm their long running suspicions that I was and had always been a bit crazy. I told them "but it says, antibacterial and so forth." They didn't say nothing just shook their heads.5 minutes later i started seeing white spots underneath the honey where I had put it where I had had the red marks/rash. I thought oh oh - i probably made things worse. So I quickly went to the bathroom and washed my arm with soap and water. I looked at the rash and to my surprise and also delight it seemed about 30-40 of the rash already gone. I was like woh, that's cool. Don't need to go to the ER room, Went to sleep - woke up next morning. What can i tell you 90-95 of the red marks/rash had completely gone. I was amazed. There was still some little marks left, which also went away the next day. But it worked.You know when people dismiss you about natural remedies - shove this in their face and spread it on their rash and so forth and lets see what they say then.Great product, shame it so expensive, but what can you do. If you're gonna spend more money then you should. then spend it on this - it is worth every penny of its expensive price. That's the only thing i don't like about it, but I won't drop it a star because its so darn good.

My husband was recently diagnosed with MRSA, which appeared as a blister/boil on his forearm. Doctors lanced it, drained it, and put him on the proper antibiotic, but it left a deep, open wound on his arm. I mean deep, like it seemed large enough to stick your thumb in! I didn't really know much about MRSA before all this, but I've read everything I could since then. I kept seeing Manuka honey praised for it's healing properties, as well as the fact that it seemed to kill MRSA. Those that had used it, swore by it. Well, now I do too!!! We started applying the honey in my husbands wound on a Friday afternoon. I did this in addition to using Hibiclens. I gloved, cleaned the wound, re-applied the honey, changed the bandages each day. By Monday (3 DAYS!), the wound was almost closed - no kidding! I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. This is one product that I will keep on hand from now on!As an aside - The sad part for me is that the doctors didn't seem overly concerned - kept telling us "MRSA is everywhere now, you can catch it anywhere" .When we would ask about chance of recurrence, or spreading it it others in our household, they basically said, yes, it might happen, might not. They were not being aggressive enough in my opinion in helping us prevent this. No one ever told us about de-colonizing ourselves. In my reading, I saw that the people with the most success in beating this back for good used a combination of Hibiclens wash to shower in for 10 days, disinfecting all towels, bedding, surfaces in home, and of course, the Manuka honey for wound treatment. There is also research that shows the MRSA like to colonize in the nose, so during this same time, you should also apply Bactroban in the nasal cavities each day for up to a month. This is also something that the doctors didn't tell us, or offer. When I asked about getting a prescription, he actually said, "Yes, we could do that to de-colonize the nases"! I mean, if they KNOW this will help prevent the spread and possible re-occurrence, why should I have had to ask about it at all? I swear, I am not a "conspiracy" type person, but it almost made me wonder if they are not all being so lax about this epidemic because of the incomes generated? I am sure, once all is said and done, my husband's insurance will have paid about $3000 for his treatment and follow up visits, as well as the $90 in co-pays we have paid already. What's their motive for trying to prevent this from happening again or from giving it to someone else?Take control of your own treatment plans, be aggressive in treating, and learn all you can about what you're facing. You are your family's best advocate. Good luck!

Quality was great.

I purchased this honey based on a online recommendation for its benefits for my toe nail fungus, of all things. (I've been battling it for about 2 years and have tried just about every product on the shelf plus one session of laser light therapy and have even tried to dig it out!... yes, disgusting and probably too much information.) I purchased the honey for its internal healing benefits. Time will tell whether it was worth it. But, the honey tastes good. It has a sweet yet slight bitter taste to it. Not unusual. Just more noticeable and perhaps because it is unfiltered. I am over 50 so I spend more time looking for products that can help keep my body feeling good. If this helps, I will definitely buy more and I will report back on the second review what my impressions are. It is a high price but to me, my health is worth splurging now and again. I need good products like this that can be used in coffee or tea as a sugar substitute (sugar is bad if you have toenail fungus and this helps me cut back on that with ease). I give it a four star because it is a samll jar for the price and because I cannot yet tell whether there will be any impact on my toenails. But, if in 5-6 months the fungus is gone, this honey will definitely be in the top two or three things I will continue to use as a sugar substitute.
