Sinopse

This book was derived from papers given at the meeting organised by the InternationaláBee Research Association entitled: &ldquo,Honey and healing: from the hive to the hospital&rdquo,áwhich was held at the University of Cardiff on 7 October 2000. The programme for theámeeting stated: &ldquo,Man has known the curative properties of honey from the earliest times.We may have forgotten, in latter years, just what medicinal benefits the golden harvest ofáthe hive can bring. Perhaps with bacteria ever more resistant to antibiotics and virusesáthat seemingly defeat the medical world it is time to look once again to one of nature&rsquo,sáown medicines that has a scientifically proven track record&rdquo,.The book was originally published in 2001, but has been out of print for a number ofáyears. Sadly, Peter Molan, who contributed two chapters, died in 2015. In his obituaryápublished in Bee World, his colleague Prof. Rose Cooper wrote: &ldquo,I met Peter Molan byáchance late in 1996 when I was collecting wound swabs from outpatients attending theáWound Healing Research Unit&rsquo,s clinic at the University Hospital of Wales. He was visitingáhis mother in Cardiff (where he was born and brought up) and had come to the hospital toápromote the use of manuka honey in treating wounds. We chatted for about an hour andáhe offered to send me some samples of honey when he returned to New Zealand. I didámy first experiments on the antibacterial activity of honey in 1997, and it marked the startáof a wonderful collaboration that changed the course of my professional life&rdquo,.It is thus fitting that we republish this popular book.
