Raw Honey

SOP:

“I have already told you the remedy I use when suffering from difficulties with my throat. I take a glass of BOILED HONEY, and into this I put a few drops of eucalyptus oil, stirring it in well. When the cough comes on, I take a teaspoonful of this mixture, and relief comes almost immediately. I have always used this with the best of results. I ask you to use the same remedy when you are troubled with the cough. This prescription may seem so simple that you feel no confidence in it, but I have tried it for a number of years and can highly recommend it.”  {2SM 301.1}

Now you may think well she was making cough syrup BUT she boiled the honey and if she says boiled is best then I go by the prophet!

There is a reason she boiled it and so in the medical missionary classes I been taking the presenter said it is best to boil the honey first like the prophet did because…

There are serious potential side effects, such as allergic reaction, intoxication and food poisoning. You may come down with a case of food poisoning after eating raw honey. Raw honey is a potential source of botulism spores, according to the National Institutes of Health. Symptoms of food poisoning from botulism include stomach cramps, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and fever.

Some people eat raw honey in the belief that the tiny particles of pollen in local honey can be considered an inoculation that will make your seasonal allergies less intense. By eating small amounts of the trees or flowers you are allergic to in the honey, the theory is, you build up your tolerance to these allergens. However, this theory is flawed and the side effects are dangerous, according to Chris Wagner, a nurse at Dallas Children's Medical Center, in an interview on WFAA-TV Dallas/Fort Worth. Wagner said he has seen cases of anaphylactic shock in people who eat raw honey with allergens in it. Anaphylactic shock an allergic reaction at its worst, as its symptoms are widespread and include difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, dizziness, fainting, heart failure and possible death. Signs of less severe allergic reactions that may result from eating raw honey include, itching, puffy skin and rash. Because you cannot control how much pollen is in the raw honey you eat, Wagner does not recommend consuming it to help treat allergies.

 Also, another reason to boil it is because it is not pasteurized when raw and can make you sick!

If raw honey was medicinal, the prophet would have had us take raw honey with the Eucalyptus Oil instead of boiled.
