Personally I dismiss any "medicine" that only has anecdotal "evidence" until there is an actual successful clinical trial.. and even then just consuming the raw honey is probably not the way to go since you can't know exactly the concentration of whatever the active chemical(s) is/are. If you have a disease, see a doctor.
- halviti 11y agoThe concentrations are actually known, there are rating scales, with UMF being the most popular where the honey is tested for its bacterial killing properties, and each honey is labeled accordingly. Yes, the testing isn't perfect, but at least it's something, and for many people with diseases like ulcerative colitis, where the doctor's recommendation is to remove the entire colon, this honey has offered many an alternative way to manage their disease and keep their colon. Now, if it were me, personally I would try the honey first, even if it's never been through clinical trials, before removing my entire colon. I mean worse case I eat a bunch of honey. I get where you're coming from, but until the science is there, there's no reason not to try foods that we already consume regularly.
