CINNAMON & HONEY – the answer to my Old Problems
Along with knowing Elvis Presley more or less personally, having “met” him at such an early age and then following him until his end… and worse yet outliving him… I have concluded that I am older now. Notice that I did not say “old”.

Yet if I am really honest I can say that I am getting older – or old.

I know this is true in that I do old things now. Old things? Yep Old Things.

Here is one good example. I read all the emails and articles about health products that might help my body.

When I was young I could have cared less about that kind of thing.

My grandsons never ever forward to me all the Health related, old people related emails. In fact I doubt that they get them. But my Older Friends pass them along to me almost without a thought… assuming that I need them… and I note that they must have already read them as well.

My friends and I are all OLD. Gasp… take a deep breath… maybe that should be “are growing older”

An email came yesterday that is just too good. My friend Terry sent it my way. And it is all about “Cinnamon and Honey” and the way that these two things can improve your health and help your body.

The email had a great series of photos of another artist that paints streets… with the Cinnamon and Honey thing at the end.

I checked the email to see who Terry had sent it to… and I was the only one. Yikes… Terry doesn’t have any other older friends… or forgot to send it to them. (Note: The forgetting part is also part of that Old thing…)

In minutes I read the email over… then went back to see if I could get it all again. Funny thing is that with the second and third reading I discovered new things again. Seems to me I had heard them somewhere before… maybe it was the first time I read it – a few reads ago.

For this reason I love to look over the Reader’s Digest magazine. Its jokes are so good. I laugh every time. The really funny thing is that I don’t remember the joke part until after I re-read the joke again – the next day. But the really great part is that the joke is funny the second and third and fourth time I read it.

Maybe the Cinnamon and Honey concoction will help with the Reader’s Digest jokes.

Now if you are struggling to remember if Terry sent you the email on Cinnamon and Honey… and have just checked your email inbox… don’t worry – six of your other friends reading this have done the same thing.

After having read this Cinnamon and Honey email I have come to realize that I will do exactly what the email is suggesting I do. It is suggesting that I mix a Honey and Cinnamon into hot water and them drink it. Not quite a Coffee… but it sounds like a possible thing that I could take.

BUT – Cinnamon and Honey in Hot Water is a little mundane. I have a better idea. I can eat fresh and hot Apple Pie with Cinnamon in it. And to make sure that it doesn’t get mundane – I will add Ice Cream to it.

Now the email has suggested that you take this three times a day – morning, noon and night. I can do that!

It has promised me that my aches and pains will go away in one week. Any arthritis that I have encountered now will be gone in days… and if I have really been stiffened up I will be running in one week!!!!

But listen to this – the email states that Cinnamon and Honey will also take care of HEART DISEASES, ARTHRITIS, BLADDER INFECTIONS, CHOLESTEROL, COLDS, UPSET STOMACH, GAS, IMMUNE SYSTEM, INDIGESTION, INFLUENZA, LONGEVITY, PIMPLES, SKIN INFECTIONS, WEIGHT LOSS, CANCER, FATIGUE, BAD BREATH, and HEARING LOSS

So – Terry… I want to thank you for the best email yet… and specially the fact that it triggered a great idea… Apple Pie – hot with Ice Cream three times a day! Wahoo!

For you that have not received Terry’s email… I have included it at the end of this posting.

Enjoy!

CINNAMON & 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, turn 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
Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. 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.

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. Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!
