Active Manuka Honey MRSA Research

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Infections which are caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria are becoming increasing frequent. This type of infection is spreading and can be life-threatening and is causing havoc in hospitals where we generally go for the solution not a more serious problem. For example, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become resistant to broad-spectrum antibiotics. MRSA can cause anything from swollen, painful boils to pneumonia, bloodstream infections and surgical wounds which can be lethal and MRSA has been responsible for a large number of deaths. In a society which has become reliant on western medicine it becomes a major concern that a lot of these products are not proving as effective as they used to be, as bacteria continues to prove it can evolve to as we do. It’s looking like things will only get worse.

Natural options seem to be making a comeback more and more these day some are even proving to be just as if not more effective, some are even promising rivalries to these of health threatening resistant germs. One product which is proving to most effective is Manuka Honey a honey which is native to New Zealand from harvested from bee’s which feed exclusively on the flowers of the therapeutic manuka bush. This product is proving time and time again to not only stop many of the worlds super bugs but is also being used to treat a wide range of debilitating ailments.

Manuka honeys and other honeys have long been known medicinal useDr Peter Molan from a supplement for the common cold to the use of healing nasty wounds. Its antibacterial properties have long proven to been an effective alternative. Though it was always known, that Manuka honey in particular, harboured additional properties superior to convectional honeys. Dr Peter Molan from the University of Waikato spent over 20 years examining the product attempting to unfold the mysteries to why this honey’s had amazing disease-fighting properties and why it was superior to other honeys. With evidence that this was the case and reports of excellent results being obtained studies began to commence worldwide. Research is now continuing in many universities throughout the UK such as the Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland. Dr Rowena Jenkins and her team investigate from the University of Wales Institute-Cardiff in Wales exactly how manuka honey appears to wipe out bacteria especially super bugs and MRSA.

Research
Throughout the research Dr. Jenkins and her team closed in on an important discovery during an experiment with which MRSA was grown in a laboratory and treated with and without manuka honey for four hours. To ensure control and quality of results, the experiment was repeated using standard honey syrup to document whether any anti-superbug effects seen were due to the sugar content in honey alone. The cells of the bacteria were then broken open so cell proteins could be accessed and separated to document each protein individually.

There results were promising and concluded that the anti-bacterial properties of the Manuka honey were not due to the sugar content in the honey, and Manuka Honey was much more effective. When the MRSA infected cells were treated with manuka honey, they appeared to lose many of the bacteria’s vital proteins. One in protein in particular known as FabI, was depleted entirely.

FabI is the protein which is essential for the superbug’s survival. It controls fatty acid biosynthesis, which supplies the bacteria with component which are essential for the bacteria to multiply and survive. If the bacteria cannot grow the infection cannot spread which is the positive outcome of the whole exercise.

Manuka honey contains additional properties from standard honey which is frequently known as UMF (Unique Manuka factor). This has been relevant for a while though more recently it was labelled as MGO which is the actual compound associated with the effect it has on bacteria.
Only with scientific research we can drill down to specifics and hopefully one day understand this products amazing abilities which will result in saving millions of lives.

Top Tips When Buying Active Manuka Honey

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

With the increasing publicity and popularity of Manuka Honey the market is steadily growing.
A product which has all ways been known to be far superior to standard honeys and used to treat a wide range of ailments as a home remedy was never tested and it was unknown exactly why this honey harnessed these powers. With the event of questions being raised regarding it effectiveness professor Dr Peter Moran successfullyDr Peter Molan

identified that the honey did contain a very active ingredient which does assist in the healing of wounds and treating even the strongest of infections. With this people are increasingly using Manuka Honey for a wide range of ailments including digestive disorders, stomach ulcers, wound healing, and leg ulcers.

Pure Manuka Honey

There are a lot of evidence and success stories though out the world on its usage and benefits of this product. Most of the research has on the benefits of active manuka honey has taken place by the honey research unit at Waikato University in New Zealand, where Dr Peter Molan has been studying the product for over 20 years In order to gain additional clinical evidence. Now tests and trails are taking part in hospitals throughout the world. Usage in hospital began in hospitals in Melbourne Australia with some excellent results. Research is continues at University of Auckland on manuka honey’s use for leg ulcers, and in Wales, the University of Wales Institute Cardiff is investigates the effectiveness of the product when combating MRSA.

Manuka honey bush

However when purchasing as with any product it’s good to have an understanding it and what makes it so effective and that you realise that not all honeys harness these anti bacterial properties and there are imposters out there. In New Zealand a few years ago a company was found to be supplying standard manuka honey which contained none of these properties though they were advertising and selling it for these purposes. This company was successfully stopped fined and by the New Zealand Commission of Commerce.

But what is the difference between honey and active manuka honey what is it that makes this honey different and so much more effective in treating bacteria and micro organisms.
Manuka honey as with all honeys contains hydrogen peroxide and enzyme glucose oxidise which help provide all honeys with antibacterial properties. Though when place on a wound the effect of these properties can be greatly affected when in contact with heat and contacted by enzymes present in the wound. Active Manuka Honey harnesses an additional compound which is proven to work synergistically with these two other compounds this is now commonly known as the unique manuka factor or UMF. More recently these properties with scientific research the actual component of Manuka Honey has been labelled as MGO (methyl glyoxol), though UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) is still a well used testing method used to indicate the potency of the product. The UMF does not break down at all when it comes up against other enzymes it also helps to stabilise the hydrogen peroxide and glucose oxidise preventing it from breaking down.

The existence of the UMF in manuka honey is found by testing for its level of antibacterial activity. Testing the honeys against more convectional antibiotics such as phenol and methyl. A UMF of 10+ would have the same anti biotic properties greater than that of a solution of 10% of these substances.

umf mgo

Manuka Honey is not cheap though it is excellent value for money as it can be used for an extensive list of everyday aliments as well a skin care alternative. To ensure that the manuka honey you are buying, is of the correct grade and been tested to UMF standards please follow the guidelines as issued by the Active Manuka Honey Association to protect you and also to protect the reputation with the chances of millions of pounds of research been label as a fad.

Genuine UMF Manuka Honey complies with all five of the following
criteria:

1. It has the name UMF clearly stated on the front label. MGO is a licensed tested scale though these are 2 different departments and associations.

2. It must be packed into jars and labelled in New Zealand.

3. It must be from a New Zealand company licensed to use the name UMF.

4. It must have UMF licensee’s name on the front label.

5. A UMF 10 or more is recommended for most topical applicants and when treating any pathogens. A UMF 5+ is more likely to be used as a food/supplement and maybe beauty applications

So do read with care when purchasing Manuka Honey. Whether it’s online, market or from a health food store in the High Street. Make sure of the points above. There are no regulations put in place to protect the consumer with this product. Just recently Jars of Manuka Honey which was derived here in the UK was sold for £65 per jar and it wasn’t even tested. These honeys are made tested and packed in New Zealand.

So for the best results, whatever the use. Be careful and check what you are buying.

Naturally does it For MRSA

Monday, November 16th, 2009

With growing concern over bacteria’s which are continually showing resistance to Antibiotics many germs seem not to be effected to what used to be our former saviour’s such as Penicillin, and Methicillin which have been used for years to treat many forms of infection. Vancomycin, was long considered the best weapon against even the toughest bacteria though for whatever reasons more and more strains of bacteria seem to be building a strong resistance even to this.

MRSA

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus more commonly known as MRSA is has affected millions of people throughout the world and the bug which has shed a lot of light on this growing concern. Wreaking havoc throughout hospitals of the world in pandemic proportions it has been stated in the USA that MRSA has taken more lives in the last decade than aids and to make matters worse experts are predicting that in the near future new strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria will emerge.
The cause of this problem may be a result of many factors though over the last 30 years antibiotics have been grossly over prescribed by medical professionals. With most cold and flu symptoms it’s generally best for us to eat healthily by feeding our bodies with well needed vitamins and minerals and allow our body to get some rest to let our immune system do its work naturally. When web are prescribed un-needed antibiotic it’s gives our bodies an chance to build a resistance against the chemicals used and also allows the bacteria which do survive and there are always a few, to reproduce and pass on their resist genes.

manuka honey 2
With this a lot of people are regressing back to traditional methods of medicine and what started off being used as last resort option is now progressing and making its return to the main stage. Honey has long been known and used for medicinal purposes it was even carried throughout the wars for the treatment of wounds. Its medicinal properties are related to its high content of Hydrogen Peroxide which is a well known antiseptic it’s also full of vitamins and minerals and as it’s natural these are excepted by the body’s immune system. Much of the honeys anit microbial activity is bacteriostatic meaning it stops the bacteria from reproducing and spreading. Resistance by bacteria is more likely to happen when the bacteria is attacked by an agent to kill.

Dr Peter Molan

Dr Peter Molan


Throughout the last couple of decades people have been researching closer into the use honey as a viable alternative to antibiotics. One person in was Professor Dr Peter Molan from the Waikato University of New Zealand. Though he was interested in a honey which had long been renowned for it healing properties. Manuka honey has been known to New Zealand locals for its medicinal purposes and it’s use against infections such as cold and flu. This honey produced by bees which feed exclusively on the Manuka Bush widely known as the therapeutic tee tree. Dr Peter Molan was the professor to establish a 20 year relationship with this honey as he researched it’s medicinal purposed to prove this honey was different and release his facts to the world.
Manuka Bush

Dr Molan proved that there was a defined difference between Manuka honey and standard honeys the composition was very similar as it still contained high levels of hydrogen peroxide though there was another factor which helped to stabilise the hydrogen peroxide when in contact with other enzymes and aid its remarkable anti microbial properties.

Though there was still an additional factor which work synergistically with the honey something Dr Molan proceeded to test and label as UMF the Unique Manuka Factor
This bioactive, medical-grade honey has been proven to destroy infectious bacteria that are responsible for many different types of health complications the composition of the honey helps to draw the bacteria out of the wound and cleanse it from further infection. To date no bacteria has shown a resistance to Manuka honey even treating dreaded conditions such as MRSA.

Manuka honey is today being used in hospitals throughout the world as research continues. Manuka Honey is being used for a remarkable range of ailments and infections both external and internal from acid reflux and gastric problems to acne and debilitating skin conditions. At times it is used as the last resort though as the proof continues to unfold it won’t be long this is the recommended treatment.

Hand creams, body lotions, cleansers, toners night creams you name and I’m sure you will find it though like all beauty products range in price and quality.

A lot of these ingredients have been banned in some countries such as Japan and Sweden as there is strong evidence that these chemicals are anything from toxic to carcinogenic and prolonged use can cause skin problems.

With this do tread with caution when selecting any skin care or beauty products. Unfortunately this does mean Manuka honey products as well. Always read the small print and avoid anything containing Parabens, ethyl acetate, butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT) propylene glycol, phthalates, talc, petrolatum, sodium laurel/laurweth sulphate.
This research of this is still relatively new and which may be the reason these days so many more people are turning to natural beauty products. Even Parrs New Zealand one of the first companies to pioneer Manuka Honey skin care products even once contained parabens and mineral oils.

Manuka Honey For Acid Reflux

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Another nasty ailment which Active Manuka Honey is proving very successful against is gastro oesophageal reflux disease or GERD more commonly known as Acid Reflux a condition which causes damages to the digestive system caused by abnormal stomach acids.
This disease can affect both adults and children alike however people who are more prone to this disorder are pregnant women and smokers and people who sleep directly after consumption of food.

Acid Reflux

Primarily caused by the malfunction of the oesophageal sphincters which is the main door way for the food to the stomach and the abnormal production of stomach acids which are essential for a healthy digestive system. The build up of these acids are released though theses muscles and into the oesophagus which doesn’t contain the same protective linings which are essential to the stomach which in turn causes burning and over prolonged period of time to lead to damages of the oesophagus.

>acid reflux

Changes to your lifestyle can commonly be enough to prevent the risk of Acid Reflux especially if you are a smoker. Though intensive research it is a proven fact that people who have smoked regularly for twenty years are 70% more susceptible to acid reflux disease when compared to non-smokers. Heavy salt in-take can also play a role in causing the discomfort and over long periods of time can create the same risks as associated with smoking. Regular binge drinking can upset the stomachs balance, exercising on an empty stomach or sleeping straight after eating upset the digestion patterns.

Most people through out there lives will experience acid reflux at some stage without the need to worry though these lifestyle changes should be considered at these stages to help prevent and reduce the risks of this becoming a damaging debilitating issue.
As we are most aware anti-acids are easily at hand when the problems arise which are over the counter and generally harmless. There job is to neutralise the stomach acids which are causing the problem.

Though a lot of medication offered by doctors and pharmacists such as H2 blockers harbour wide range of side effects which should really be enough to make us stop and think. These medications address the problem directly. So they only assist with temporary relief suppressing the stomach acid for a short period of time. It’s generally these should not be taken over long periods. They also act in attacking the healthy bacteria in the stomach which is essential for a healthy digestive system.

bee

Active Manuka Honey has proven to be a much more successful acid reflux treatment as itt’s far more effective in the long run. Manuka honey works against all components of acid reflux.
It protects the lining of the throat helps in the process of neutralising the stomach acid and also helps to aid in the repair of the stomach lining by destroying any nasty bacteria though allowing the good bacteria in the stomach to survive. No other medication prescribed can be taken long enough to protect the oesophagus from the acids which are causing the damage without causing side effects. Usually it can take months until the oesophagus starts healing. With Active Manuka Honey you can feel instant relief as well as long term success. Active Manuka Honey has no side effects and can be taken as long and often as you want to. That gives this precious honey an immense advantage over regular acid reflux medicine.

By protecting the damaged oesophagus of severe attack from these acids over a long time period it can give the oesophagus the chance to heal and recover. And help to retain a healthy digestive system which is essential for good health. Manuka Honey12+500

A daily course of Manuka Honey will help promote the natural growth of the good bacteria in the stomach, which will help with digestion, increase the effectiveness of the immune system, and help the body to absorb its nutritional requirements it needs in order to maintain a healthy stomach and body.

Also being natural and healthy enough to eat makes it a far better option for the care, maintenance, and healing of the bodies largest organ.
Many skin care products these days contain numerous chemicals a lot of which have little to no skin nutrition at all. There main purpose is to aid in the products texture. There has been research been conducted into a lot of these ingredients and the results have been alarming. Even with this knowledge there has been little to be done to stop the use of these ingredients which have been linked to many debilitating skin disorders and in some cases even cancers.

Active Manuka honey is far better for the skin than most of these products put together and although there are many Manuka honey skin care and beauty products available today. You may find the use of a raw manuka honey just as, if not more beneficial for you skins health.
Honey has long been used in for a beauty treatment it’s hydrogen peroxide which made it the perfect product to cleanse the skin, honey is also rich in natural vitamins and minerals to feed and nourish the skin.
Manuka honey however takes skin care one step further. Manuka honey has very effective anti bacterial and anti oxidant properties and is the main factor which makes this honey so successful against such supper bugs as MRSA a bacteria which is longer effected by every day antibiotics.

This element of this is known as the unique Manuka Factor and has been more recently labelled as MGO (Methylglyoxal). Active Manuka honey is a honey which is indigenous to New Zealand and is derived exclusively from the Manuka Bush which is more commonly known as the tee tree bush and its product tee tree oil. Which are a key factor for its special properties. The skin is constantly under attack from numerous forms of free radicals such as pollution, sun shine, make up and even very common skin care products. With this antioxidants are a vital component in any skin care regime to protect the skin from further damages. Manuka honey also has excellent properties which assist in the production of the skin protein collagen , this is an essential element which is responsible for retaining moisture and help the skin to appear smooth and youthful.
Natural beauty products are becoming more and more common these days due evidence showing the dangers of some of the ingredients used. I also feel it’s common sense that natural beauty products are better for the skin. The skin is the bodies largest organ and we are always being made and with any of our vital organs drugs, and sythethic chemicals generally have a negative effect. Where as natural vitamins and minerals maintain and protect our system. Active Manuka Honey is the perfect product to use for your skin and most beauty products won’t even come close. It works with the body rather than upsetting the skins natural balance and feeds the skin with the essential vitamins and minerals as well as assisting in the protection from free radicals. A beautiful skin is a healthy skin and chemicals aren’t the answer to our happiness.

It has antioxidant properties to help protect the skin from any nasty toxins, its rich in vitamins, minerals and natural proteins to help feed and nourish skin. And its an effective anti- bacterial which works with the skin making it a perfect alternative for acne and skin infections. Honey itself is high in peroxide and healthy for most diets though Active Manuka Honey contains and extra factor which works against even the toughest of bacteria. This factor is labeled as UMF (unique manuka factor) or has recently been labelled as MGO (mythol-glyoxal) which is the naturally occurring compound which makes manuka honey effective.

As I have previously stated this is not a myth or a ploy Manuka Honey is now being used world wide though out hospitals with some excellent results. UMF is a scentifically tested scale to measure the activity of the honey.
Ance does need to be treated though be careful with prescription drugs and read the label to make yourself aware if the side effects. Manuka Honey Products can aways be used along side convectional medicines if you are unsure. This will help keep the skin healthy and you may find its all you will need.

Using Manuka Honey as a topical treatment will be just as effective as using any of the creams around which are available. You will probably find its not as unbearable as you think though it’s not the best look in public. There are many Manuka Honey acne creams on the market today which are proving to be very successful with some excellent feed back and you will find the price is quiet pleasant as well. The luxury of using the creams is you can apply and just let it soak into the skin for the

duration of the day though it is advised to read the label first.

Acne is a very unpleasant skin disorder and effects millions of people everyday with this it is a massive industry for chemical and pharmaceutical companies. If you or one of your loved one is effected by this disorder be vigilant with what the doctor is prescribing and the side effects which are listed or what you feel it may be causing. Trying something like a Manuka Honey cream or the honey alone will more than likely be beneficial and can be used along side these treatments as well.
