Hello!

There has been a great increase in the last several months of requests 
from persons with cancer wanting to purchase raw honey for consumption.  

They tell me that the doctor advised them they can eliminate certain 
medications if they can obtain raw honey which is said to have same 
medicinal compounds found in some of the pharmaceutical medications 
required for their treatment.  

Some are wanting to reduce the amount of medications they are taking, and 
others are saying they are seeking raw honey because the compounds 
contained in raw honey are the same as in a required medication and is 
easier on thier system (as they tell me Physicians are telling them this 
information).

I also am seeing an increase in persons asking for raw honey for severe 
arthritis. 

Has there been a recent study released to prompt such a flood of 
requests?   What is the compound or compounds they are after, and for what 
reason?  

I would imagine the benefits of honey for substitution of medication must 
have been proven in the medical feild and of greater benefit to the 
patients wellbeing for physicians to recommend honey over the products 
from the powerful drug companies.
