 The rash on my leg gone in one day.Dec 27, 2009
By L. M. Hansen
"writegal2000"
I am a nurse in a Boston hospital and so I am coming in contact with very difficult infections on a daily basis by the so called "super bugs". Those superbugs (MRSA, VRE, Streptococcus, etc.) are no longer responding to standard antibiotics so killing them is harder. One day at the end of my shift, I happened to notice a large flat angry looking rash on my lower leg. They call it a cellulitis. I immediately freaked out knowing it could be something that could spread quickly and need to be treated with antibiotics and sometimes hospitalization. I did NOT want to use antibiotics becuase of the side effects and overuse. I had some 20+ UMF sterile manaka honey on hand (everyone should have a tube available). I spread it all over the rash and then covered it with a telfa dressing to keep the honey in place then wrapped it with a kerlix gauze wrap to keep the telfa in place. 6 hours later the rash looked better. I showered, then reapplied the honey. By the next day the cellulitis was completely GONE! I am a true believer. For open wounds buy STERILE manaka honey with a strength of 18+ or 20+. Good luck. And of course... if the wound get's worse or fails to heal quickly or there is a foul smell or a fever, or if the wound is deep and complex and ugly.... SEE A DOCTOR! But you knew that anyway.

Keeps me infection free!Mar 15, 2010
By J. Herzog
I have been using manuka honey for 5 months, and this product for 3 months. I chose it because it is in a tube and remains sterile. I use it on my medical wounds to promote healing and reduce scarring. Previously, while in the hospital, I had every hospital infection there is (including MRSA, VRE, etc). I have had my spleen removed as well, so I have a compromised immune system.
During the 5 months I have used manuka honey, although out of the hospital, I have remained infection free! I believe this product works wonders and would highly recommend it. I use it on a surgical abdominal wound and on the entry site for my hemodialysis catheter.

This product really works. I gave some to a friend for his shingles and it healed all of them. I put some on my dogs rash and it healed it. I think this product is great.

RN gives thumbs upJun 29, 2010
By Teeny Tiny Tatas
I am a hospital RN and have done a lot of reading about bacitracin and similar bacteriostatic creams/ ointments/ gels. I have read that they have the potential to impede the body's natural immunity and actually INCREASE the risk of resistant organisms while prolonging wound healing. I got this honey product for a personal post-surgical incision. Now let me be clear, I have not tried this on an open wound. I did follow my surgeon's prescription for bacitracin until the wound was not "fresh" anymore. So about 4 days after stitches out I started using this and noted my healing to seem to happen faster and the skin to approximate (bind together) more quickly. This was used on a wound that grew out gram negative rods and since use, redness surrounding incision site seems to have decreased also. It smells good too which is an unusual 'plus' for wound products.

Works great on burns!Jun 29, 2010
By Giovanni Morricone
"G. Morricone"
Excellent product, fast service. It healed my 2nd and 3rd degree burns twice as fast as the silver sulfadiazine (silvadene rolls), they gave me at the Burn Center. I'm all about natural products but when it comes to my own health, I use triple the caution. Heard about the product but only tried it on a smaller area of my 2nd and 3rd degree burns first. And then, when the skin grew back rapidly and my wound closed completely, while the area with the silvadene rolls was still open, I was convinced this product actually works. I do want to mention that there is an intense tingling sensation when you first put on the honey, border line painful on an open burn where the nerves are still alive. But you quickly get used to it after a few days. You also would want to apply the honey on sterile non-adhesive pads to avoid sticking, which can be quite painful when changing bandages. All and all this product helped me avoid infection and skin graft surgery on rather large burns. Lastly, it has just been over a month since the incident and I don't know if there will be any permanent scaring at this point, but I will keep using this Australian Manuka Honey. It's a great discovery thanks to amazon.
