Cinnamon and Honey
Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call “crystallizing”.
When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water,
off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was.
Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.
Cinnamon and Honey
Facts on Honey and Cinnamon:
It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in
most of the countries of the world.. Scientists of today also accept honey as a ‘Ram Ban’ (very
effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases.
Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.
Today’s science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine,
it does not harm diabetic patients.
Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the
following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western
scientists:
HEART DISEASES: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of
jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves
the patient from heart attack. Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process
daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves
loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat.. In America and Canada , various nursing homes
have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their
flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.
ARTHRITIS: Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with
two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even
chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University , it
was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey
and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the
200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month,
mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking
without pain.
BLADDER INFECTIONS: Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of
honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.
CHOLESTEROL: Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed
in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of
cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if
taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in
the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.
COLDS: Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm
honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic
cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.
UPSET STOMACH: Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears
stomach ulcers from the root.
GAS: According to the studies done in India and Japan , it is revealed that if Honey is taken with
cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.
IMMUNE SYSTEM: Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system
and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has
various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood
corpuscles to fight bacterial and viral diseases.
INDIGESTION: Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food
relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.
INFLUENZA: A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ‘ Ingredient’ which
kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.
LONGEVITY: Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the
ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of
water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh
and soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increase and even a 100 year old, starts performing
the chores of a 20-year-old.
PIMPLES: Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this
paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily
for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.
SKIN INFECTIONS: Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected
parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.
WEIGHT LOSS: Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach,
and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. If
taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture
regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high
calorie diet.
CANCER: Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the
stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer
should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month
three times a day.
FATIGUE: Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather
than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon
powder in equal parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a
half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken
daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body starts to
decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.
BAD BREATH: People of South America , first thing in the morning, gargle with one teaspoon
of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh throughout the
day.
HEARING LOSS: Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts
restores hearing.
GOD’S ACCURACY
God’s accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs.
For example, the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days; Those of the canary in 14 days;
Those of the barnyard hen in 21 days.
The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;
Those of the mallard in 35 days.
The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.
(Notice, they are all divisible by Seven).
Wonder why your life is a mess? The lives of each of you may be ordered by the Lord in a beautiful way for His glory, if you will accept Him as your Lord and Saviour and only entrust Him with your life. If you try to regulate your own life, it will only be a mess and a failure. Only the One who made the brain and the heart can successfully guide them to a profitable end.
God’s wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant. The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction.. No other Quadruped is so made. God planned that this animal would have a huge body, too large to live on two legs. For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily.
The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first.
A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first.
How wise the Lord is in all His works of creation! God’s wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of sections and segments, as well as in the number of grains.
Each watermelon has an even number of strips on the rind.
Each orange has an even number of segments.
Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.
Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.
Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even number and the next row an odd number.
The waves of the sea roll In on shore twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of weather.
All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks, and the Lord specified Thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and a hundredfold - all even numbers.
God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times during the day, so that Linneus, the great botanist, once said that if he had a conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture and temperature, he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that were open and those that were closed! Thus the Lord in His wonderful grace can arrange your life if it is entrusted to His care in such a way that it will carry out His purposes and plans, and will be fragrant with His presence.
Only the God-planned life is successful. Only the life given over to the care of the Lord is safe.

Bees & Honey
Colony Collapse Disorder
Clothianidin suspect?
Bayer´s Clothianidin: Lawsuit seeks EPA pesticide data
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is refusing to disclose records about a new class of pesticides that could be playing a role in the disappearance of millions of honeybees in the United States, a lawsuit filed Monday charges.
The Natural Resources Defense Council wants to see the studies that the EPA required when it approved a pesticide made by Bayer Crop Science five years ago.
The environmental group filed the suit as part of an effort to find out how diligently the EPA is protecting honeybees from dangerous pesticides, said Aaron Colangelo, a lawyer for the group in Washington.
In the last two years, beekeepers have reported unexplained losses of hives - 30 percent and upward - leading to a phenomenon called colony collapse disorder. Scientists believe that the decline in bees is linked to an onslaught of pesticides, mites, parasites and viruses, as well as a loss of habitat and food.

Declining Fruit and Vegetable Nutrient Composition: What Is the Evidence?
Donald R. Davis1,2,3
Biochemical Institute, The University of Texas, Austin, TX 78712; and Bio-Communications Research Institute, 3100 North Hillside Avenue, Wichita, KS 67219
Additional Index Words. nutritive value • history • dilution effect • genetic dilution effect • agriculture • grains
Three kinds of evidence point toward declines of some nutrients in fruits and vegetables available in the United States and the United Kingdom: 1) early studies of fertilization found inverse relationships between crop yield and mineral concentrations—the widely cited “dilution effect”; 2) three recent studies of historical food composition data found apparent median declines of 5% to 40% or more in some minerals in groups of vegetables and perhaps fruits; one study also evaluated vitamins and protein with similar results; and 3) recent side-by-side plantings of low- and high-yield cultivars of broccoli and grains found consistently negative correlations between yield and concentrations of minerals and protein, a newly recognized genetic dilution effect. Studies of historical food composition data are inherently limited, but the other methods can focus on single crops of any kind, can include any nutrient of interest, and can be carefully controlled. They can also test proposed methods to minimize or overcome the diluting effects of yield whether by environmental means or by plant breeding.

Subject: Windermere Farms Information Request
This is our first year (spring 2009) to visit Windermere Farms..The strawberries are “awesome”..they are delicious whether you get them fresh or freeze them. We have already put 36 quarts in the freezer and have really enjoyed them in cereal, yogurt and my son’s favorite is putting them on his angel food cake..The grandkids are so excited about getting to pick their own strawberries when school is out. No need for me to go anywhere else for strawberries because I know Windermere Farms’ strawberries are the best tasting..fresh or frozen…
Will email you next week for another pre-picked order.
Thanks and Blessings to all,
