CINNAMON & HONEY
Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or
rot. What it will do is what some call 'turning to sugar'. In reality, honey is
always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will
"crystallize". When this happens loosen the lid, boil some water and
sit the honey container in the hot water, but turn off the heat and let it
liquefy naturally. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put
it in a microwave. This will kill the enzymes in the honey.
Cinnamon and Honey
Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around.
Facts on Honey and Cinnamon:
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 side effects for any kind of
diseases.
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, when
it is taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm even diabetic
patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue dated 17
January,1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by
honey and cinnamon, as researched by western scientists:
HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply it on bread
instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the
cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also,
those who have already had an attack, when they do this process daily, they are
kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves
loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada , various
nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as one
ages the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and
cinnamon revitalize the arteries and the veins.
ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily (morning and night) one
cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one small teaspoon of
cinnamon powder. When taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a
recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when
the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and
half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week
(out of the 200 people so treated) practically 73 patients were totally
relieved of pain -- and within a month, most all the patients who could not
walk or move around because of arthritis now started walking without pain.
BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of
honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the
bladder..
CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon
Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water given to a cholesterol patient was found
to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours.
As mentioned for arthritic patients, when taken three times a day, any chronic
cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said Journal,
pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.
COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one
tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days.
This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and, clear the sinuses.
UPSET STOMACH:
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also
clears stomach ulcers from its root.
GAS :
According to the studies done in India and Japan , it is
revealed that when Honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved
of gas.
IMMUNE SYSTEM:
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the
immune system and protects the body from bacterial and viral attacks..
Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large
amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles (where DNA
is contained) to fight bacterial and viral diseases.
INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken
before food is eaten relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.
INFLUENZA :
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a
natural 'Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from
flu.

teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of water and boil to make a tea.

arrests old age. Life spans increase and even a 100 year old will start
performing the chores of a 20-year-old..
RASPY OR SORE THROAT:
When throat has a tickle or is raspy, take one tablespoon of
honey and sip until gone. Repeat every three hours until throat is without
symptoms.
PIMPLES :
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon
powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it off
the next morning with warm water. When done daily for two weeks, it removes all
pimples from the root.
SKIN INFECTIONS:

affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.
WEIGHT LOSS:
Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast and on
an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder
boiled in one cup of water. When taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even
the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the
fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie
diet.
CANCER:
Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that
advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients
suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey
with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder three times a day for one month .
FATIGUE :
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is
more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior
citizens who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts are more alert and
flexible. Dr.. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of
honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, even when
the vitality of the body starts to decrease, when taken daily after brushing
and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M., the vitality of the body increases
within a week.

breath stays fresh throughout the day.
HEARING LOSS:
Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in
equal parts restores hearing. Remember when we were kids? We had toast with
real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!
You might want to share this information with a friend, kin
folks and loved ones. Everyone needs healthy help information ~ what they do
with it is up to them ~ share with your email buddies... They deserve to be
healthy too!!!
It's always good to know these things.....
This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water
after your meal, but about ladies and their heart attacks.
A friend sent this to me. She asked that I share with both
my male/female friends. Very interesting...
This makes sense.... the Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea
with their meals...not cold water... maybe it is time we adopt their drinking
habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is
applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal.
However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just
consumed. It will slow down the digestion.
Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will
break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will
line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It
is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks:
Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is
going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of
a heart attack.
Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep
do not wake up.
Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be
careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it
to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.
Read this... It could save your life!!

Hi Benny
I watched this Surgeon performing Heart surgery on
AlJazeera TV
"INDIAN HOSPITAL"....he is brilliant !!.
The operation was done to an American man who said
he had researched Dr Devi Shetty, went to Bangalore to have his Aortic Valve
replaced. Cost $1800 but would have cost him $50K in the US.
Dr Devi is presently doing 300 Dialysis sessions per
day on a Roll on Roll off basis manned by nurses 24/7 and hopes to bring the
cost per session down to Rs 500 from Rs
1400.
He has managed to obtain a Contract from a Japanese
Co. to supply and maintain the equipment on a Rental Basis and plans for
another 100 Hospitals to be completed and running in the next five years.
India is short of 1m Doctors and he has started his
Innovative Training classes for Young Doctors to train and specialise to become
Heart Specialists without going through and doing General Surgery of ten years
before they can perform Heart Surgery, which is a requirement here in the UK.
He was presented with an Award here in London for
his outstanding work for Diabetic and Heart patients.
His Logic is that if an Artist can draw & paint
without any Academic qualifications, and can perform wonders with his hands, so
can a Doctor with the right supervision and training.
Other Heart Surgeons previously sceptical of his
innovative ideas have all come on board and have given him full backing and support.
I totally support
Dr Devi and I think his recruitment to fast track Specialists Doctors is
a brilliant idea.
Good luck to him.
