I used this on an antibiotic resistant staph sore over the last week with brilliant results.

Apparently this was used commonly during WW I, and is now being used in most hospitals on antibiotic resistant bacterial infections.

It's basically just unpurified natural honey containing all the natural enzyemes - and they say you have to pay the 18 dollars a tube because supermarket honey doesn't have all the enzymes.

I've never heard of it.

Do GP's recommend it? ... Do Pharmacists carry it? .. I recall one of the Western Force rugby players recently contracted a serious staph infection (resistant to antibacterials); though I have no idea how they treated it.

try the link.
It's on the shelf in most australian chemists i imagine.
It would only be useful for exposed wounds - no use for a post op internal infection. (Dan Tolar's knee for instabce)

Yeah, I read the link ... The whole webpage smacks of an infomercial-style advertising campaign aimed at profiteering in the pharmaceutical industry.

Hence why I asked you, to see where you learnt about it.... assuming someone recommended it to you.

I'm a nurse.
Can't remember when i first heard about it - year's ago - but i tried it on myself because i was told recently that it is being used widely in general hospitals now, and i had a small staph sore that wouldn't come good with antiseptics, so rather than try traditional antibiotic ointment i gave it a shot, with very good results.

Nice work.

It makes sense, that anything which seals a wound, would most likely promote it's healing.

Kudos' for doing such a thankless, yet necessary job as well. Nurses do far more than they receive recognition (or pay) for.

What enzymes? Are there claams it kills viruses, yeasts etc?
Honey and salty water both kill bacteria because of osmotic pressure on bacteria cell walls.

The manufactuers obviously claim that it has a proven antibiotic action, and also claim table honey is not a substitute.
You feel free to use normal honey if you like.

Ive used medipulv anticeptic powder for years for cuts and small abrasions, however this medihoney seems way better
