Proverbs 24:13 states, “My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste.” Recent medical research has proven the validity of this scripture. “Honey is very effective in killing bacteria in all its forms, especially the drug-resistant organisms that often make treating chronic rhinosinusitis difficult. A study found that in eleven isolates of three separate organisms, honey was significantly more effective than commonly used antibiotics in killing the bacteria. The findings may hold important clinical implications in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis, which affects 31 million people each year in the United States alone, and is among the three most common chronic diseases in North America.” (ScienceDaily (Sep. 23, 2008)
