Honey and Cinnamon Remedy

3/ 6/08 10:39pm

Hi Chantal, my mother-in-law introduced this remedy to me about a year ago. I tried it for about a week and gave up as I can be very impatient sometimes. My mother-in-law swears by it though. If you try it, please let us know if it works for you. Good luck, and best wishes!

Hi Hollybgroovin,

What was your mother-in-law trying to cure with this mixture?

If it was RA and she's having such good results why are you not sticking with it until you get results (good or bad) at least you could say that you tried it. It is much cheaper and healthier than all the drugs the doctor will prescribe.

I'm not saying this in a mean way...or a sarcastic way either. I don't even know if it works.

Please be patient and give yourself a chance, what have you got to loose... the pain, the misery and who knows you may get your life back.

We found a natural product that is helping my husband, if you would like to know about it send me an e-mail and I'll tell you all about it.

Take care,

Chantal

Chantal, I feel I should explain. I have diagnosed for 3 years, had severe pain for 5 years, and the doctors think I have had RA for over 13 years now. A year ago I still felt hopeless. When my mother-in-law introduced me to this remedy I was still at the phase where I felt that if the medications won't work, then why would anything else. My life has changed drastically in this last year and I no longer feel this way as I take my medications and a nice group of supplements as well. I would definitely be willing to give the honey and cinnimon another try as well as any other natural remedy you might know of. Now I am always looking for something to help. Oh, and my mother-in-law was using this remedy for the inflammation in my cervical spine. Best wishes!

I'm going to try the honey & cinnamon in hot water for my arthritis. Both are good for so many things, including cinnamon for high blood pressure. Also, Dr. Oz said turmeric is good to help prevent Alzheimer's which my mother and grandmother died of, and it's hereditary. So I always put turmeric on my fish and in some soups. God created these wonderful foods to heal us; all meats should be limited and processed foods eliminated. Best of health!

hi my name is Faith i had arthritis on my right arm for over a year. it was so bad i couldn't lift up anything, much less take off a shirt. it was so bad,i took prescribed medicine and it didnt do any good, i tried accupuncture it didn't do any good either. and i read about cinnamon and honey online and i said what the heck i will try it for a month and after 2 weeks i could lift my hand a little and i kept taking it and exactly one month the pain went away i could lift my right arm with no pain. Natural remedies takes a while to kick in so don't despair. try it for at least a month without fail.try it you just might like it. Like they say "there's no harm in trying.

I don't know if the study was ever done, but I stumbled on this remedy by my consuming honey on an english muffin nearly every morning. I combined this with cinnamin as the article indicated and now I can walk up stairs without crawling.

I had been treated with injections by an Arthritis doctor and he said my next route was a new knee. I wasn't ready to go this route. So now I have NO pain at night in bed as before NOR walking. I can bend my knees back which I was unable before. I may not be cured, but I am grateful for no pain and mobility.

I haven't heard of that ''remedy'' but I do take half a teaspoon of bicarb of soda in a glass of water each day to help relieve gout pain in my big toe. It's supposed to work by reducing the acid in your body. I can say for me it does make me feel better. The other natural treatment I use is these fir therapy gloves which ease the soreness in my arthritic hands & fingers. I couldn't even use my computer or turn a door handle before but now the pain is much better & my fingers aren't all distorted. My daughter got them for me & I am feeling much better because they are warming & supportive.

I have had RA for about 2 years and have been on this remedy since about the first of April 2008. So far it is not having dramatically improving my condition. Because I have good days and bad days it's hard to know for sure if it is working. I have this finger however that can not bend all the way. I figure that a sure way to know if this really works is if I can regain full mobility in this finer. I'll give it until May and see. I'm afraid of the harsh meds that doctors prescribe for this disease, so I'm willing to try almost anything natural.

Hope this helps.

Good luck with it Melissa and please let me know how you make out.

My husband tried it for a few weeks and got chest pains so he stoped, maybe he had a hard time to digest it.

Chantal:

I have been using the honey and cinnamon for 2 months and have been amazed at the change! My pain has gone away and I am moving better than I have in 2 years. I am only 52 but as a Cardiac Cath Lab nurse for 34 years, I have really messed up my ankles from all the years of standing on hard tile floors wearing 15 lbs lead aprons for radiation protection. I have the joint changes in my fingers so the arthritis was beginning to win. My doctor put me on Mobic(anti-inflammatory) with little relief. When I was told by another nurse about the honey and cinnamon, I felt I had nothing to lose trying it. I am now off my Mobic and just on the honey and cinnamon. What a difference and I love the taste of the drink. I would suggest local natural honey just for the better flavor. The honey I bought in the store (processed) the flavor was not as good. Good luck and I hope you're results are as good as mine!

You said the drink is good. How do you use the honey and cinnimon? And how much of each.

Hi:

I just read a note on the honey and cinnemon treatment and searched this website. Yours was the only note that was positive. The others like, I will try it, I heard it etc. This is not too encouraging, because if someone find it successful, they would be happy to announce it. Please let me know nsalab@yahoo.com. Nick

How do you make your drink? (ie; how much honey & cinnamon)

How many times a day do you drink it?

Is it hot or cold?

How long before you knew it was working?

Thanks

You have to have raw honey and I use organic cinnamon. From a health food store. You mix 1 teaspoon of honey and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. mix in a small bowl and just mix well and eat. it is very good.

For several weeks I have been feeling stiffness in my shoulder area when I wake up and stays for about an hour. I am not sure if I have an RA or not but I will find out in a week. I setup an appt with a specialist. I am really hoping I do not have an RA since I am not even 30 yet.

I have not tried this remedy. I just read about it a week back and was thinking of trying this. Hope it works for me. I will let you know if few weeks if it worked or not.

I have been diagnosed with RA since I was 29 years old... I am now 38. At the rate I was going the doctors told me I would be in a wheelchair by the time was 40. It was devastating to me because I had been an athelete my whole life. About 5 years ago I was at a point where I could barely walk most days and my hands would not close at all. I began seeing a chiropractor back in 05 who started me on rounds of accupuncture and pure fish oil. After about 8 months of that things started to turn around for me. I started feeling much better and was able to back off the steroids and pills a little, however I was still doing the remicade treatments. I kept trying to excercise as much as my body would allow which wasn't a whole lot. I also eliminated alot of personal stress which kept my body in turmoil all the time. I have not tried the honey and cinnamon but will start this week and see how it goes. I still have bad days and my hands have turned some but I will keep fighting until the day I die... I refuse to let this terrible disease win! Good luck to all of you who are struggling, remember... just take it one day at a time. God bless you all!

I just wanted to add some input here since it sounds like your RA is severe like mine. I was diagnosed with RA at the age of 28 and am now 35. I didn't seek medical help until about a year had gone by, thinking there was nothing that could be done for the pain I had all over. I didn't know what it was...finally walking and moving in general became so painful and was sustained so long that my family really got on me. I saw a primary physician. He diagnosed me within a few minutes with RA - swollen joints, hot to the touch, the shiny skin, etc...The medical tests confirmed it. He referred me to a rheumatolgist. At that point I thought RA = typical arthritis and that nothing could be done. I finally saw my rheum. months later and that's when I really started understanding what could be done and how serious this disease can be if not treated properly. I am blessed enough to have an outstanding rheumatologist who is rated as one of the top Rheumatologists in our Metro area. I am in a drug study right now that has been like a miracle since the Remicade I was on worked but over time the time period of relief shortened to about 2 weeks. As it's THOUSANDS of dollars/month I felt I needed to try something else. The drug I am on now is close to coming to the market from what I've read. I do prefer natural methods so I am off to try the honey and cinnamon though I drink honey and white and rooibos tea throughout my day (about 4-5 cups on average). I am also wondering if that Manuka Honey that is talked about in the medical journals for burns and such will help so I ordered some of that.

Question - is one type of cinnamon better? I get mine for baking (I use Vietnamese cinnamon) from our local spice purveyors in Wisconsin who have traveled around the world and are very knowledgeable. That leads me to question the honey as well - is raw honey better? I've heard a lot of beekeepers feed their bees corn syrup too. I am wondering if the honey that is effective is created by bees that aren't fed corn syrup or perhaps it's that AND raw honey that isn't as processed...

I have a friend of mine that is using the cinnamon and honey and she buys the honey and cinnamon from the grocery store, non specifically and she gets good results.

I hope this helps you out.

Would those of you who have started the remedy and been on it for at least two months please report your results back on this site -specifically Ms "krnfly"?

I keep reading about the "research at Copenhagen University", but can find nothing about it on the University's own site, which seems a bit suspicious.

My mother-in-law is crippled and I would love to be able to give her the gift of a simple, inexpensive and effective remedy.

I do know that large doses of cinnamon powder on buttery toast worked on keeping my blood pressure down when I forgot my meds whilst on holiday in Africa, so it may also have a favourable effect on RA.

Thankyou for taking the time.

Hi

I am also going to try the Honey and Cin Remedy. I starter drinking a glass full yesterday. I didnt know the water should be hot. I really do hope it helps. I am doing karate and mixed martial arts and this is really stopping me.

I also would like to know if anyone knows as this will bring your blood pressure down, as I already have very low blood pressure.

Hope we all get a miracle cure

Bless your heart... I am so sorry this is happening to you! I have very high blood pressure so I'm not sure what is happening with you. RA is a very debilitating disease that affects so many things. I will tell you however to keep doing martial arts as long as your body can handle it. Exercise and release of stress is good!! You may get to a point where you have to take it easy so you aren't irritating the joints in your body. I can tell you to make sure you are getting plenty of rest and drink lots of water because it clears your body of all the toxins. I pray for a cure everyday for all of us...

You might want to check out this link. Seems Copenhagen Uni never undertook such a study. Doesn't mean honey and cinnamon aren't useful but being cautious about 'research' might be prudent too.

What is sold as Cinnamon in the US is actually Cassia. A chemical called coumarin in Cassia could be toxic. So when you buy Cinnamon make sure it is real Cinnamon and not Cassia.

Click the below link to learn how to identify real Cinnamon from Cassia.

http://www.ceylon-cinnamon.com/Identify-Cinnamon.htm

I just checked my bottle of 1000mg cinnamon capsules and found it is indeed the Cassia ! I have heart problems and RA and after 3 days on this, I started having "tingling" problems in my legs; so after checking with my Dr, I will toss these caps and make SURE I get the REAL Cinnamon and go from there :-) Just a warning to all who try this "cure"; never hurts to be well informed !! I also use the 100% raw honey that is here in my local area farmers market; tastes loads better than reg store bought.

tried for my self for over 3 weeks and it does work. I could hardly walk and my body just plain hurt all over. But thank God this does help. I won't use the RA meds any more. I want to help my body not destroy it with that stuff. I have a hard time taking meds most make me sick. So I am so glad that God makes what we need.

The quote you found on the internet is from a Canadian journal called Weekly World News in an article dated January 17, 1995. We are talking here of information more than 15 years old by this time. Someone may have success in contacting the journal for a detailed list of references. It sounds like it couldn't hurt to run one's own research experiment, while of course continuing to see a 'real' doctor.

No such study has been published.

This email is an outright lie.

Normally a research project is undertaken by a given lab, and following completion of the study the results are written up and submitted to a journal. Good journals have qualified scientists peer review the article and they decide whether it is worthy (eg appropriate negative controls, valid interpretation of data), and on that basis it is published (or not). Some journals are better or more careful than others, and you can really get just about any garbage published if you aren't fussy about who is publishing it.

While it is possible that such a study has been undertaken, I can find no evidence it was ever published, even in a "low-impact" or less careful journal, suggesting that at best they found no evidence honey/cinnamon worked, and at worst the study never occurred.

The honey/cinnamon may work, and it may not. It can't hurt to try and honey + cinnamon is tasty. Also, never underestimate the power of the drug called "placebo". So eat it if you like it, but dont get your hopes up.

Will let you know in a week. Started taking the honey and cinnamon in the morning. It has to be raw honey from a natural store and I bought organic cinnamon. Tried the RA medication not for me. I have trouble taking medication any how. Can't take pain meds and the RA meds hurt your immune system. I sure don't need that. So they gave me meds that they use for melaria. And that has done something to my sight. So I figure to tray all natural. After all God did make the natural things for our body.

Well I have been on the honey and cinnamon for about 3 weeks now and believe it or not it does work. I was just eating it mixed together. But now I put it on toast. If I forget to use it I can feel the differance. So if you guys want to give it a try. But don't forget it has to be raw honey. Keep me informed about your results.

I found out that I had RA about a year and a half ago. But when they done the first x-ray it was discovered that I had a broken neck. I had fallen off a ladder at work and had a closed head injury and they said a sprain neck. I walked around like that for a year. Until I could not stand the pain any more. They took a x-ray and found the neck broke. Had surgery right away. Have RA in both hands both feet and both hips and my left knee. I know what you mean. I also have a lot of faith and believe me prayer also keeps me going. I have had side effects from the meds so I will try to take the honey and cinnamon. If the pain gets bad I take a couple of Aleve.

There is no trace of the original study on the internet and there is nothing listed on the Copenhagen University research database. http://www.ku.dk/english/

According to this blog http://painhealthnews.com/archives/152 and a few others I saw the original "research" study was first printed in a tabloid magazine. When you are reading a research study try to trace it to the original source, look to see if it is a double blind study (was there a control group?), how long was the study period, etc.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and believe in natural remidies but I don't take advice from potential internet trolls. You don't know if that is a real person posting or someone trying to make their webpage look legitimate. If you want to try natural medicines try working with an accredited practicioner.
