Hi
I only just saw this so my answer may not be relevant now.
Manuka honey is quite expensive.Some years ago I had an operation and got an awful infection, I was told to take Manuka honey to help fight the infection.It can also be ut on wounds but obviously you would need correct advice on this before you did that.
You have to go for the strongest, I got mine from Holland AND barret as at that time they had several different strengths, obviously the higher the concentration, the more you pay.
I was taking a tablespoon full each day and it did help in my recovery, even though I cannot stand the taste of honey !
I don't know if that helps.
