Editor's Note:
Following is a testimony and valuable comments, concerning today's treatment of patients in hospitals and wound care centers. The following story clearly features the unfortunate common 'side effects' when being treated in a hospital for one ailment, and leaving the hospital with a large, deep open bed sore and two infected surgical incision wounds, infected with MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staph Auereus) and VRE (Vanocomycin-resistant Enterococci).
For more information (and before and after wound photos), keep reading the story of a courageous couple and their fight to heal multiple sores with natural honey, against the advice of doctors, nurses, a hospital and wound care center...
Customer Testimony:
Hi Everyone,
This is a very serious subject that we need to discuss with our doctors. They will not listen to you and will probably look at you like you've lost your mind but stick with it.
The use of Honey in wound care goes back to the days of Moses and the bible. Using honey in wound care, was the main source of a wound care dressing before 1950, when antibiotics came into use. Antibiotics were pushed on doctors by the pharmaceutical companies. At that time, an antibiotic was a very good product, but like all things that man comes up with to replace what God has given us, it has just about used up its usefulness.
Staph infections have become antibiotic resistant. The medical term is MRSA. When treated with antibiotics, mrsa will finally go dormant. But it will come back some day, and usually at the worst possible time. When treated with Honey, MRSA will die, the Honey kills the disease (not dormant) - "dead".
My wife went into the hospital in Houston, Texas on Jan 24, 2006 and was operated for an aneurism of the aorta . The surgery went ok, but the after care was very bad.
While in the hospital, she also contracted a disease called VRE (Vanocomycin-resistant Enterococci) and MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staph Auereus). The Honey destroys both VRE and MRSA.
She progressively got worse, until the point that I was not sure that she would ever leave the hospital. Then I read an article in the 'American Bee Journal' about "The use of Honey in Wound Care". So I started researching the internet for information on this subject. I was very surprised to find a lot of information concerning 'wound care and honey'.
I began to try to tell the doctors that were treating my wife what I had found out. I made several copies of clinical research of wounds infected with MRSA. They were what they call 'Blind Studies', so they could tell which worked best Honey or Antibiotics. In almost every case, the Honey outdid the antibiotics. A lot of the cases using Honey, healed in six weeks.
Needless to say, I was talking to deaf ears. The doctors have their minds closed to anything except what the pharmaceutical companies say.
I finally had to take my wife out of the hospital in Houston and came home to the local hospital. The Wound Care Doctor came in and unwrapped all of her wounds, One on her stomach about 7" long, one on her shoulder about 4" long, a bed sore or ulcer on her butt about 5" in diameter. All of the wounds were infected.
The Wound Care Doctor asked me what I thought. I replied "you don't want to know what I think". I had already put him in the same category as the doctors in Houston. He came back at me with " NO, I really want to know what do you think". I looked at him for a minute and said "HONEY, put honey on those wounds and they will heal up. His reply to me was " you really think so? (I nodded yes). Let's do it. Do you have any honey?" I said "yes, I do. I'll have it up here in the morning".
The next day we started to use Active Manuka Honey on her wounds, and now the shoulder wound is completely healed up, and the one on her stomach is less than an inch long and almost healed up. The wound on her butt is less than 2" diameter, about a half an inch deep, and will probably be healed up in a month. The VRE was gone in six weeks, the MRSA is dead. No more staph disease.
The doctor at the rehab unit came to my wife's room the other day and looking at me said "You sure made a believer out of me". The internal medicine doctor was amazed at the fact that the Active Manuka Honey had destroyed the VRE in her intestinal tract. She took 1 teaspoon of Active Manuka Honey before each meal. In 6 weeks, the VRE had cleared up.
My one goal in life now, is to let as many doctors know, that we need to go back to the use of honey in hospitals and wound care clinics.
Staph disease is so predominant in hospitals today, that people assume they may get infected in the hospital. That does not have to be the case. Its kind of up to us, the Beekeepers, to spread the word to our doctors and nurses in our community. WE DON'T HAVE TO LIVE WITH DISEASE IN OUR HOSPITALS.
Your Brother and Sister in Christ,
Thomas & Margarett Hearrell, Longview Texas
