Manuka Honey has indeed been debated here on OCF. In looking over the prior threads, it does indeed to appear to have real promise. It will be very interesting to see the results of the clinical trial on it.
NIH clinical trial manuka honey
Since it's a randomized placebo trial, this is a good test to see what is really what. I hope it does prove to work as well as it has for MaineWill and others. Right now all the "evidence" is just anecdotal and the plethora of sketchy websites claiming miraculous powers for it sparked my skepticism. But facts are facts and this clinical trial is the way to do it with the fake honey flavored gel as the placebo.
That's a bummer MaineWill that the honey no longer tastes good
