I spoke to a friend recently who had a very bad stomachache,\nowing probably due to something he ate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This reminded me of a similar situation I had experienced a few\nyears ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back in 2005, my family and I went on a holiday to Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you can probably imagine, it was SO nice that we didn\u2019t want\nto leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was however a period where we all got mild food poisoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The day before we became ill, we were strolling through a mall\nand came across a shop that was selling raw honey. I became\nextremely excited as at that time it wasn\u2019t easy to come by natural raw honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wanted to buy all the honey I could and bring it back home \u2013\nhowever unfeasible it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So we ended up buying 1kg of honey to \u201ctest\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next day my brother, father and I were extremely ill and were\nrunning back and forth from the bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully I remembered how honey was used many times to solve\nstomach problems and so my brother and I dived into the jar and literally\noverdosed ourselves (I\u2019d say we had approximately 10 tsp each!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within an hour we were fine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We told our father who was very reluctant and didn\u2019t want to take\nit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After seeing how quickly we became better, he had no choice but\nto take the honey, as you can imagine, once he did take the honey he was fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many times I tell friends, family, random people the benefit of\ntaking honey when having bad stomach aches and they just somehow ignore it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My friend only took 1tsp, which obviously wasn\u2019t enough as he was\nstill in pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope after me reiterating that he should take more and probably\nhaving read this, he will have taken the point!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have any of you had any similar experiences?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
