Healing Honey??

Click on the picture to go to the site where I got it.

I got the following in an email and thought I should share it. If it's true it's very interesting. However, I have no idea if this is true or if it's just a scam being sent around. As one with arthritis and a few other health issues I am going to give it a try. Hey, what can I loose other than some unwanted pounds and some pain? If I was a diabetic I would be extremely careful and would talk to my Dr. before taking honey.

A diabetic friend recently told me that Cinnamon is good for diabetics as it stabilizes blood sugar, so I've been putting it into my morning oatmeal, knowing that stable blood sugar is a good thing for everyone and can contribute to weight loss. Maybe it's time to add in some honey too, and to drink one of the honey/cinnamon/hot water drinks. Wish me luck :o)

It is found that a mixture of Honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases.

Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a "Ram Ban" (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.
