Cinnamon and Honey
Honey is the only food on the planet that (if kept sealed) will not spoil or rot. It will do
what some call turning to "sugar". In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a
cool dark place for a long time it will "crystallize". When this happens, boil some water, and sit
the honey container in the hot water, off the heat, and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever
was. Never boil honey or put it on a medium-to-high level in a microwave. To do so will kill the
enzymes in the honey.
FACTS ON HONEY AND CINNAMON:
It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most
diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world.
Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very
effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases.
Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of
diseases.
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in
the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.

January,1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be
cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next
attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and
