BENEFITS OF SPICES
As the saying goes, everything old is new again. Prescription drugs can be life saving but they can also have adverse affects on our health. With our over worked health care system that financial and medical experts alike are warning is going to fail, we should all be trying to do what we can to keep ourselves in good health. Every small thing we do to improve our health helps, even if we just have a cup of healthy coffee, it all contributes to our health. Hence, I wanted to share some of the benefits of Cinnamon and honey that were passed on to me by my friend from Shaklee, Martha Wilmore. Spices and oils have been used to benefit health for thousands of years. Wars have been fought to gain control of them. I have researched a lot over the last few months and I will continue to share these facts with you over the next while as time permits me to post them to site. I must remind you tho, to proceed with caution when beginning any new procedure and discusss any changes with your doctor. Most doctors today are in agreement with diet changes to help you keep well.
BENEFITS OF CINNAMON AND HONEY
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 reduced. In a recent research study conducted at Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon of honey and a half teaspoon of cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, most of the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

Even the most severe colds can respond to this simple treatment. Take one tablespoon of lukewarm honey with 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon daily for three days. It can also help clear sinuses.
