So where do you all buy it from to get a good high strength and how much is it. I would be interested in trying it on Kyiro's foot to get that to heal if it is that good and I can afford it.
At the rate mine damage their feet and have to have stuff surgically removed from them it may well be worth a try.

Health shops should do it.

H&B have one that is 12+ and £23.39 for 500g.

The Sainsbury's one I got was 15+ and 340 g for £10 - £12 (can't remember the exact figure).

The Rowse one (also at Sainsbury's) was around £15 but is NPA (non peroxide activity) certified 15+.

Bev - I think if it's for external application, it won't matter so much if it's raw or not as the main thing you are after is the antibacterial rating.

I know the Rowse 15+ is good based on having used it myself (It costs about £15), but if that is out of your budget I would try the Sainsbury's 15+, but I haven't tried it myself yet - that one costs about £11.25 (I think I will get it after this jar runs out)

Lol, Linda - I'm addicted to the stuff which reminds me...

Are there any negatives of eating Honey?

The biggest disadvantage of eating honey, is that because it is sugary (although much better than processed sugar) it will feed candida - so make sure you eat some organic live yoghurt as well, as the probiotics will help keep candida at bay.

No fillings at all Azz, my teeth are perfect, plastic but perfect.

I have to take slight issue with the rating thingy Azz .......my honey, which I bought from the local delightful Apothecary Shop, is 22+ and is absolutely pure and natural New Zealand honey, with no fiddling whatsoever. It is also peroxide free etc. etc.

That's cheating

Do you know which brand it is Sally?

Here's a link to where I saw it being mentioned:

Also, it did kinda make sense, as a number of the Manuka Honey companies I emailed said that their honey was heated as part of the filtering process - and I did wonder why they don't just cold-filter - as that will almost certainly fetch them more money (as cold-filtererd products are usually more sought after).

When I get five mins I will do a post about the manufacturing processes from each of the companies I contacted. Some of the conversations were 'interesting' to say the least

New Zealand 100% pure Manuka Honey
UMF 22+ non peroxide activity

It was rather expensive, I must admit!!

Can you take a photo of it Sally? I'm wondering which company makes it I did look on the website you mentioned but their search results didn't show any.
