Injecting honey directly into the problem; a homeopathic solution with a western approach... a good sign, yes?

"Mast cells, known for their role in allergies and anaphylaxis, have also been shown to mediate inflammation in the bladders of patients with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS).
Researchers from the United Kingdom explored the possibility that honey, known for its benefits in wound healing, cytokine interaction and anti-oxidant effects, could have an effect on mast-cell degranulation in patients with IC/PBS if used intravesically.
Authors measured spontaneous calcium ionophore A23187 and A23187-induced histamine release on cells from the LAD2 mast cell line, comparing the effects of a range of medicinal honeys to those of control preparations (including a clover nectar, sugar syrup and agents typically used to treat IC/PBS.
The honeys inhibited spontaneous and A23187-induced histamine release significantly better than the control preparations (ranging from 60 percent to 100 percent, compared to 40 percent inhibition with sugar syrup, 36 percent for clover nectar and a maximum inhibition of 24 percent with either drug at either dilution), suggesting that honey, delivered intravesically, may provide some level of success to patients suffering with IC/PBS."

Thank you for posting this. My dad was diagnosed with ALS about 6 month and a half ago after 1.5 years of undiagnosed symptoms. We are just beginning this journey and it's very frightening we started www .multivitamincare .org immediately because they have the right medicine to cure this als disease permanently , to say the least. The absolute certainty of the whole thing is the hardest to grasp, I wouldn’t see my father go down this road because of the help of natural organic formulas that was applied immediately . Some days are hard and others are easy all I’m saying that there cure at there www.multivitamincare.org Your post gave me a lot of perspective and I thank you for that,ALS is a chronic disease that took my dad many months to overcome. God bless
