"I have lyme" (Ethan01)

MDJunction to me

djfilippone"Before I found this site I felt so alone.  Watching my daughter struggle with IH and being treated like she had two heads from doctors.    I have plenty of family and friends but there was nobody that really knew what she was going through.
I not only have support and love from others who will listen and share their
story, but I have made some forever friends.  Having this support site does make a difference to many.

I have been treating my pneumonia for the last couple of days with honey. I was wondering whether or not its beneficial for lyme. Honey is supposedly able to increase the alkalinity of the body and is rich in enzymes antioxidants, vitamins, etc. And it supposedly cures many different conditions. It is 10 times more germicidal then hydrogen peroxide.

What is the opionon of mdjunction members?

Hi Paul,

Sorry to hear you are battling pneumonia along with the Lyme. I don't have any info to offer you, hopefully someone will come along and give some advice. I know honey is beneficial for may things.

Good luck,

AnnF

Not sure about honey, but you can check with your health food store for good remedy info.

If you are battling candida (yeast problems) the natural sugar wouldn't be a good idea.

I have read on many online sites that honey is beneficial at treating candida.

From my own research honey has some probiotics which would help with the candida. I was told a spoon of honey is good to take sometime in the morning the same as yogurt. Personally I don't think it would help with the Lyme its self though.

honey is amazing. although I don't think it alone would "cure" lyme. being such a complex disease. and you can't just buy honey off the shelf when we're talking about this either. I just read that somewhere. You need local honey, or from a health food store for all the effects of it, and you can really taste a difference.

I don't think it can hurt, that's for sure.

funny, 25 years ago my dad would always have me take a tablespoon of honey every day, maybe he knew something I didn't. hmmm

Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.
