Honey

For centuries honey has been used as medicine. All types of honey, both raw and heated, work naturally to harmonise the liver, neutralise toxins and relieve pain. Honey can also be useful for treating stomach ulcers, cancer sores, high blood pressure and can be applied directly to burns. Raw, completely unprocessed, unheated honey is preferable; it has the ability to dry up mucus and is helpful for those with edema and too much weight. Raw honey is NOT recommended for infants under 12 months.

Raw Milk

Raw Milk is Good but Cultured Raw Milk is Best!
Many people who cannot drink pasteurized milk, can drink raw milk.
Cultured ("fermented") milk products include yogurt, kefir and curd. The fat, sugar and protein have been partially broken down making them digestible for practically everyone.
Did you know that yogurt contains billions of life, friendly bacteria?
These bacteria not only predigest the fat, sugar and protein, they also 'crowed out' lethal bacteria in the gut.
Perhaps even more important, these micro-organisms manufacture their own neutralizers and inhibitors to destroy disease causing germs.
There are good reasons why yogurt, kefir and curd prolong life. They protect against hardening of the arteries and there is a potent cancer remissive effect.
