Raw, unprocessed honey is antibacterial, antiviral, and very healing. This is especially true for high grade Manuka honey. (However, processed honey strips all the goodness out of it, so commercial honey isn't worth much.) I have used raw and Manuka honey many times to heal wounds. Other than that, I agree with Mike's list.

Just avoid giving raw unprocessed honey to infants less than 6 months, due to certain organisms their bodies cannot combat at that age.

[@KNS6000]

This is interesting: "In a separate study comparing Buckwheat Honey with Manuka, scientists found that Buckwheat honey had greater antioxidant activity than Manuka, and exhibited equivalent antibacterial activity against the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Both honeys show great abilities to restrict the growth of bacteria in lab conditions. However Buckwheat could fight some bacteria that Manuka could not. A recent study found that buckwheat honey is more effective than over the counter cough syrup at treating coughs in children! Buckwheat has also been shown to improve heart health, help manage glucose levels, and is gluten free and non-allergenic."

[@dianenewton3953]

I agree with you. Before I retired, the wound care doctors, at the hospital where I worked, were using manuka honey on wounds. They were getting success, especially in wounds that had MRSA.

That's true for raw, unpasteurized honey, but the stuff sold in most grocery stores in North America, like "Billy Bee Honey", is processed, and often mixed with high fructose corn syrup or other ingredients (that for some reason, they don't have to include on the label. 🙄) It loses a lot of its healing powers, unfortunately. The tips and "health hacks" posted around social media rarely specify which type, or how much. (Same with cinnamon, which has some great medicinal qualities. Benefits increase IF you buy the less kind (Ceylon) from a health food store. The type sold in a bottle or pouch in the store is the cheaper, and therefore more popular type of cinnamon (Cassia), and is good for helping to regulate blood sugars in diabetics. )

I disagree, though, in many other areas. WORDS can: - Communicate with our comrades, our opposition, & those of neutrality - Stop wars - Prevent misunderstandings - Change world views - Bring hope to the hopeless - Calm the distraught - Mend broken hearts - Educate the pupil - Create: Literally anything you can think of, your own sandbox on paper! - And for those of use who desperately need it, take use to another place for a while, to be someone else, in a different life, with different challenges and burdens, in a whole different plane of existence...so we can get a much needed respite without having to leave our house or our body. And THAT, Shari Chambers, is the incredible power of talk of WORDS. And yes, I believe the pen more powerful than the sword. I believe it to be the most powerful tool Humanity possesses... To set aside the pen and take up the sword, is easy to do. But, think long and hard, first. The cost is only our humanity.

[@sleesullivan2796]

Christine Ming I don’t think this is a good idea. You get venom in your mouth and it’s still in the flesh of the victim. You can remove a bee by gently sliding a pocketknife (or credit card) under the bee, front to back. This can dislodge the stinger from the skin without breaking the sac that injects the venom into the body. Doesn’t work with killer bees. Idk how to save yourself from them.

[@susanjohnson318]

Rubbing alcohol on a sting as soon as possible will reduce the "poison" and the size of the bump. I've done it and it works!

Never heard of the onion for stings, but making a paste out of meat tenderizer and water applied to the sting helps. Probably for the same reason.

[@LandonsGrampa]

Rubbing many coats of egg white on a burn, makes it heal faster. My mother taught me this. Egg white is full of protein and if you have a burn on your skin, whether from a flame or hot surface, or from a sunburn, rubbing several layers of egg white on it, allows the skin to directly absorb that protein, therefore making the healing process go much faster. One must note that the egg white cannot be immediately washed off. In actuality, it should not be washed off for at least 8 hours and should be reapplied at least once. I personally still use this to this day. In 2014, I had severe 3rd and 2nd degree burns, that I didn't go to the hospital for, for 3 days. During those 3 days, I applied egg white. When the doctors took me into surgery to most likely do skin grafts, they determined that the grafts were not necessary. I have the proof to back this up. They did still use the cultured pig skin, to cover the burned areas of my body. The (lack of) scaring of my skin, would make anyone question my burning at all. Again, proof through the UNC at Chapel Hill Burn Center, one of only two burn centers in North Carolina. I also have pictures to boot.

@@normalaird8262 yes... you are right, character is more important than the surface things... unfortunately, it's hard to wear your character on your sleeve... In general, (I never said all women), women tend to like men who know how to present themselves. This gets you in with more women than not. You are confusing Marketing with Sales. I am speaking of marketing, getting your foot in the door. After that, it's up to the salesperson in-store to sell the product. That's where someone's personalty and character shines through. The reason you need to market yourself, is because, a typical woman gets approached in bars often, and they need some sort of defence mechanism to weed out the weak so they don't waste their entire night with some "nice guy" who just not going to try and "close the deal". (and ladies, you know what I am speaking of). This is why women will give a guy many sh!t tests when he approaches her in a bar. She is trying to see what kind of character he has. This is, again, where the marketing comes in... dressing like a slob won't get you very far with most women, in fact it will be the first sh!t test a guy typically fails. If a woman rejects you for dressing in jeans and a t-shirt, shame on you. If a woman rejects you for dressing up nicely, then shame on her. For a woman to say these things doesn't matter, tells me that she isn't used to being approached in bars that often and her options are limited, therefore, she has less standards.... and is not the person that any male wants or should take advice from.

I think the term "actions speak louder than words" does not allude so much to hand or body gestures' being more communicative than speech; rather, it refers to how one's actual behavior --- i.e., behaving himself, keeping his word, checking up on you to see if you need anything, etc. --- is a much more convincing/meaningful indication of one's caring and honesty than his just verbally professing to be such a great person. (And of course, the reverse can be true, also --- you may hear really bad things about someone from certain folks who do not happen to like him for whatever reason, but then if he treats you exceptionally well, you can figure that most likely those public-smear comments are just idle rumors, and should be discounted. Many times, people who are jealous of someone with superior morals will badmouth him just to make themselves feel less inadequate.) It's kind of like someone's claiming to be very reliable about paying back a loan --- the only way to determine if he is truly that conscientious is to see if he regularly comes to you with actual cash, rather than flimsy excuses.
