According to Peter Molan, director of the Honey Research Unit at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, and published in the International Journal of Lower Extemity Wounds, honey is very healing. When a diabetic ulcer resisted all medicines, and amputation seemed inevitable, honey came to the rescue. Honey is an ancient antiseptic and is used today in Europe. American medicine sees no value in it.
When chronic wounds and burns respond poorly to other treatments, honey works very well according to this study done in New Zealand. It seems impossible for bacteria to develop a resistance to honey's antibiotic action, presumably because honey's antibiotic agents are too varied and complex.

Ah yes, I've heard this before about honey ... pure, unpasteurized honey.
