Latest Buzz: Honey Book Author Loves Sticky Scene in "The Pitt"

 By Cal Orey, M.A.--Author of #1 Hit The Healing Powers of Honey (1-Day Deal 1.99 on Amazon & Kobo...Groundbreaking 1st ed. and pre-order 2nd ed.--revolutionary and shocking stories!)

Last night I watched the popular show "The Pitt," episode 3, and with interest I viewed a nurse observing a patient's leg burn treated with honey. Dr. Robby explains that while honey has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it isn't suitable for deep burns and shouldn't be the first treatment. But note, it can be used on minor burns if the skin isn't broken and the burn is less than 2 inches in diameter. Also, honey dressings may be more effective than standard treatments for superficial burns. (Source: Comic Book Club). And yeah, this scene is realistic, sort of.

As the author of the bestselling book "The Healing Powers of Honey," I can tell you more than a decade ago I discovered the virtues of honey and treatment for burns when I interviewed the late renowned Dr. Peter Molan. The doctor explained to me how hospitals do indeed use medicinal honey for treatment of wounds.

Q: Do you feel any large drug company in America may produce a manuka honey product and sell it as a prescribed medicine to hospitals and clinics?

A: Jars of manuka honey on sale in the USA are not approved by the FDA for any therapeutic use, although they are legitimately sold as a food just like any other honey. However, there are various brands of manuka honey on sale with FDA approval for treating wounds. Some are tubes of manuka honey, and some are wound dressings containing manuka honey. All are sterilized products. It is smaller medical companies producing these, but large drug companies are now showing an interest. 

Author's Note: Due to the strong research backing Manuka honey, the overwhelming evidence of its success in hospitals, and researchers with doctors pushing for its approval, the FDA finally approved Manuka honey in 2007 for medical use.

In the revised and updated 2nd edition of the popular honey book, the author includes more natural healing cures.

Yes! Raw, unprocessed honey is more popular than ever before and is touted a “superfood” as it replaces unhealthy table sugar and artificial sweeteners—helping to combat the skyrocketing rise in chronic ailments and life-threatening diseases.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, beekeepers experienced a surge in demand for the disease-fighting, antioxidant-rich “apocalyptic food” widely believed to boost immune health.

Increasing threats to honey bees’ survival may harm the planet’s nourishing superfoods that you love to eat—such as fruits and nuts—that the honey bee pollinates.

Honey, known as Mother Nature’s “nectar of the gods,” is an ancient remedy noted in the Bible and used for centuries to quell a cough, soothe a sore throat, energize you, and even calm frazzled nerves due to stressors such as post-COVID-19 virus variants and climate change health effects.
