Subject: Honey & Cinnamon


FACTS ON HONEY AND CINNAMON
.
It is found that mixture of honey and cinnamon cures most of the
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 any side
effects for any kind of diseases. Today's science says that even though
honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not
harm 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 on bread, chappati, or other 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 already
had an attack, if they do this process daily, 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
you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged;
honey and cinnamon revitalizes the arteries and veins. . BLADDER

was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10% within
2 hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken 3 times a day,
any chronic cholesterol is cured. As per 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 teaspoon cinnamon powder daily for 3
days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold and clear the
sinuses. . UPSET STOMACH: Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach

if 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 bacteria 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 to fight bacteria and viral diseases. .
INDIGESTION: Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken
before food, 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. .
LONGEVITY: Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken
regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take 4 teaspoons of honey, 1
teaspoon of cinnamon powder and 3 cups of water and boil to make like

cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts to cure eczema,
ringworm and all types of skin infections. . WEIGHT LOSS: Daily in the

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 for one month
3 times a day. .
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 power in equal parts are
more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton who has done research says that a
half tablespoon honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with
cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing your teeth and in the
afternoon at about 3:00 p.m. when the vitality of the body starts to
decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week. . BAD

Hi Lynn,

It's me again! I already take cinnamon for my diabetes. I believe like many other people it has dropped my blood sugar by a few points. Over 5 points actually. It maybe all in my head but that's what the meter says. That's all I care about. I can't do honey because it spikes my sugar and gives me a headache but, I would try that too if I could. Thanks for the article. It make me feel like I'm doing something right.

Love,

Jamie
