[« Honey Helps Problem Wounds : « Medihoney « is Often More Effective Than Antibiotics.
A household remedy, millennia old is being reinstated : HONEY helps the treatment of some wounds better than the most modern antibiotics. For several years now medical experts from the University of Bonn have been clocking up largely positive experience with what is known as MEDIHONEY. Even chronic wounds infected with multi-resistant bacteria often healed within a few weeks. The fact that honey can help wounds to heal is something that was known to the Ancient Egyptians several thousand years ago. And in the last two world wars poultices with honey were used to assist the healing process in soldiers’ wounds. However, the rise of the new antibiotics replaced this household remedy . « In hospitals today we are faced with germs which are resistant to almost all the current anti-biotics », Dr. Arne Simon explaines.
« As a result , the medical use of honey is becoming attractive again for the treatment of wounds ».
Dr.Simon works on the cancer ward of the Bonn University Children’s Clinic. As far as the treatment of wounds is concerned , his young patients form part of a high –risk group : the medication used to treat cancer known as cytostatics not only shows down the reproduction of malignant –cells, but also impairs the healing process of wounds. « Normally a skin injury heals in a week, with our children it often takes a month or more. » he says. Moreover, children with leukemia have a weakened immune system. If a germ enters their bloodstream via wound , the result may be a fatal case of blood poisoning.
For several years now Bonn paediatricians have been pioneering the use in Germany of medihoney in treating wounds. Medihoney bears the CE seal for medical products ; its quality is regularly tested. The success is astonishing : « Dead tissue is rejected faster , and the wound heals more rapidly « , Kai Sofka , wound specialist at the University Children’s Clinic, emphasises. »What is more , changing dressings is less PAINFUL, since the poultices are easier to remove without damaging the newly formed layers of skin ». Some wounds often smell unpleasant –an enormous strain on the patient. Yet honey helps to by reducing the smell. « Even wounds which consistently refused to heal for years can, in our experience be brought under control with medihoney –and this frequently happens within a few weeks », Kai Sofka says. In meantime two dozen hospitals in Germany are using honey in their treatment of wounds.
MEDIHONEY consists of two different types of HONEY : one which forms a comparatively large amount of hydrogen peroxide, and another known as « LEPTOSPERMUM HONEY». Leptospermum is a species of tree which occurs in New Zealand and Australia. Honey from these trees has a particularly strong anti-bacterial effect , oven in a 10% dilution. « It is not yet known exactly why this is », Dr.Arne Simone says. « Probably it is a mix of phenol –type substances which come from the plant and make life particularly difficult for the bacteria in the wound ».

[« Fighting Infection With Manuka Honey.
Manuka honey may kill bacteria destroying key bacterial proteins. Dr. Rowena Jenkins and colleagues from the University of Wales Institute –Cardiff investigated the mechanisms of manuka honey action and found that its anti-bacterial properties were s not due solely to the sugars present in the honey. The work was presented this week (7-10 September, at the Society for General Microbiology’ meeting at Heriot –Watt University , Edinburgh. METICILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (MRSA) was grown in the laboratory and treated without manuka honey for four hours. The experiment was repeated with sugar syrup to determine if the effects seen were due to sugar content in honey alone. The bacterial cells were then broken and the proteins isolated and separated on a system that displayed each protein as an individual spot. Many fewer proteins were seen from the manuka honey treated MRSA cells and one particular protein , « Fabl », seemed to be completely missing. « Fabl » is a protein that is needed for fatty acid biosynthesis. This essential process supplies the bacteria with precursors for important cellular components such as lipopolysaccarides and its cell wall. The absence of these proteins in honey-treated cells could help explain the mode of action of manuka honey in killing MRSA. « Manuka and other honeys have been known to have wound healing and anti-bacterial properties for some time », said Dr.Jenkins, « But the way in which they act is still not known .If we can discover exactly how manuka honey inhibits MRSA it could be used more frequently as a first –line treatment for infections with bacteria that are resistant to many currently available antibiotics ».
