Manuka honey

(1/2) > >>

tobassam:
Recent experience with Manuka honey with my B-major child has shown great effect on his Hb count. Omar used to take transfusions every two weeks. After using a UMF 15+ Manuka Honey, he now transfuses every three weeks.

I believe Manuka excels mostly because of two main attributes:
1- It has a high anti-bacterial activity
2- It is not micro-filtered or pasteurized (raw)

If someone would like the nutritional values alone and has no need for the immune-boosting properties, other raw honeys are available at a fraction of the cost.

Andy Battaglia:
Manuka honey has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which could explain how it helps to extend the life of red blood cells. Let us know if this positive effect maintains over time.

BabyRiya:
What should be the dosage of manuka honey for 2 year old?

Andy Battaglia:
One teaspoon maximum at that age. I would suggest starting with half teaspoon at first.

BabyRiya:
Okay. Thanks Andy.
