WE KNOW OUR RAW HONEY AND BEEKEEPER
(He lives right next door.)

In season, the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia is bursting with wildflowers. Our neighbor's organically raised bees are busy working among the flowering fields surrounding the Blue Ridge Mountains. The resulting raw honey is gathered and expertly spun using only centrifugal force to release the fragrant ripened raw honey from each comb cell. Absolutely no heat is used in this removal process. At our request, only first stage cheese cloth filtering is used (to remove bee parts) so the raw honey appears cloudy due to the rich amount of pollen and other raw honey by-products. The raw honey itself can not be certified as organic (you never know exactly where those little bees have gone to get nectar.) The bees and hives, however, are never treated with pesticides, miticide, or chemicals of any kind.
Our neighbor and his family are picky organic beekeepers and their distinctive Virginia Wildflower Raw Honey is now the only raw honey "Shoko's Natural Products" sells. Supply of our raw honey is seasonal and limited, raw honey in now in for the summer 2007 harvest. Get your orders in quickly, last year sold out in 30 days.

We chose Virginia's wildflower raw honey because of its exceptional flavor, excellent fragrance and rich color. Darker honey contains more minerals than lighter honey.
Shoko thinks it's the most delicious honey she has ever tasted.

We chose our neighbor's raw honey because he knows the science and art of natural organic beekeeping and cold processing with minimal filtration.
Raw and cold processed honey means more flavor, more active enzymes, more vitamins, minerals, and all the benefits of pollen and propolis that come from raw honey.

We are proud to offer clean, fresh raw honey as close to nature as honey can get. You have our guarantee. Enjoy everything the bees put into Virginia's Raw Wildflower Honey!

"Prescription antibiotics kill only bacteria and then merely certain types. Plus, bacteria can develop resistance to these agents, and they can also develop resistance to most of the standard germicides and antiseptics. A safer and more versatile treatment is the use of various natural compounds known to kill almost any type of microbe, while blocking the development of its resistance.

One of the most powerful antiseptics known to mankind is not produced in chemistry labs. It is a substance made by bees: pure raw honey. Bees are among nature's finest chemists. Their most abundant production is honey, that sweet substance of varying taste, color, and aroma.
They also synthesize bees' wax, royal jelly and propolis.

To many people it may seem astonishing that something so sweet could also be such a potent antiseptic. After all, raw honey is a food, not a drug. Let's review the relevant history and chemistry in an attempt to understand how this could be true.

Bees are gregarious creatures. They live as a colony in close proximity to one another. Anyone who has seen a picture of the inside of a hive knows how tightly packed bees are. Can you imagine what would happen if infection developed within the hive? Once a single bee is infected, the whole clan would rapidly become decimated. Not surprisingly, bee hives are normally sterile.

What keeps the hives sterile? First, the bees' foods are sterile: bee pollen, royal jelly and raw honey, when bees make honey, they secrete within it natural antibiotic-like substances, increasing its anti-microbial action. Plus, they fan the moisture out of the honey in order to eliminate any possibility of infection. What happens is that the elimination of moisture from the raw honey causes a change in its chemistry.

This is through the phenomenon of osmosis. Osmosis represents a process by which water or other fluids either move toward or away from an area. Raw Honey, being free of moisture, draws water to it. Raw Honey craves water by a powerful osmotic effect. Microbes are nearly 90% water, and this is precisely why raw honey is so antagonistic to them. It literally drains the water and, therefore, life right out of them. Raw Honey is exceptionally effective against bacteria and parasites, since they are mostly water. Plus, raw honey contains natural antibiotics which help kill microbes directly.

Raw honey, when applied topically, speeds the healing of tissues damaged by infection and/or trauma. It contains vitamins, minerals and enzymes, as well as sugars, all of which aid in the healing of wounds.

Raw honey has been used in medicine for centuries. Russian surgeons, prior to the advent of antibiotics applied raw honey to wounds after surgery, finding that infection was curbed and the rate of healing increased. They used raw honey to draw pus out of wounds and applied it to infected tissues, such as boils and cysts, successfully destroying these infections.

Currently, British doctors are using raw honey on open surgical wounds, as they too have found that it prevents infection and speeds the healing of wounds. Unfortunately, the vast majority of medical professionals have no knowledge of raw honey's astounding medicinal capacities. Raw honey applications cause infections to come to a head, drawing out pus and secretions as well as accelerating wound healing.

Decades ago American surgeons found raw honey to be of value. They used it post-operatively to pack wounds, noting that localized post-operative infections were essentially eliminated. Plus, wounds healed more quickly with less scarring. Few if any American surgeons currently utilize it. This is unfortunate, since the application of raw honey on wounds would serve to reduce pain and suffering as well as save limbs and lives.

Primitive cultures have utilized raw honey as a medicine for centuries. Raw Honey was discovered in the tombs of the pharaohs, and, although it was nearly 4000 years old, it was still edible.
The ancients used raw honey as a digestive aid, and there is evidence that they applied it topically to wounds. The physicians of ancient Greece prescribed raw honey often and used it as a carrier for many of their medicines.

More recently, the Journal of Pediatrics found honey considerably more effective than glucose syrup in the treatment of diarrhea illness in infants.

All of the holy books speak of honey in "glowing" terms. The Bible glorifies it frequently, mentioning it as a food of the prophets and the heavens. The Qur'an praises it as "a medicine for all mankind."

Raw honey is easy to preserve and store requiring no refrigeration. It will hold up to extremes of heat and cold while still retaining its nutritional value and antiseptic qualities. A tightly sealed jar of raw honey is one medicine the elements cannot destroy.

What is pure, raw honey?
The kind of honey that is used makes a difference in terms of achieving optimal curative effects. Like any other food, honey can be processed. That processing may destroy its active ingredients. The key is to find honey which undergoes minimal heating, therefore, the designation of raw honey. A second designation is unfiltered. Bee keepers often heat and filter honey to make it more "appealing" to the consumer. Heating prevents honey from crystallizing and increases the ease at which it can be removed from the hives. Filtering removes particulate matter that might cause the consumer to be concerned about "purity." Crystal-clear, highly purified honey is not the type needed for survival. Only unheated and unfiltered raw honey can be relied upon to get the job done.

The primary reason commercial producers heat the honey to high temperatures is to sterilize or "pasteurize" it. This is unnecessary, as there are no microbes in honey. The only way microbes can get into it is from contamination by human hands after it is extracted. Even then, these microbes will immediately be destroyed by the raw honey's osmotic powers.

The pasteurizing temperatures often exceed 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Honey which is heated gently, up to 130 degrees, still retains most if not all of its biological activity. Heating the honey to high temperatures causes the destruction of vital elements which are responsible for its capacity to heal wounds, kill infections and soothe internal organs. These elements include vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antibiotics, bioflavonoids and organic acids.

Filtering eliminates another vital component: the pollen. Pollen acts as a digestive aid and is a source of quality nutrition, primarily in the form of B-vitamins, protein and nucleic acids. In a crisis situation people will need as much nutrition as they can get. Additionally, the protein in pollen stimulates wound healing when applied topically and also when taken internally.

Raw Honey as a Food
Raw Honey is unique as a survival aid for several reasons. First, it is a food which cannot spoil. Because of its high sugar content and the powerful osmosis this creates, no microbes can live in raw honey. As long as it is sealed, it will last through floods, quakes, storms or any other natural disasters and still retain its potency. Secondly, raw honey can be eaten by infants (see caution), toddlers, teens and adults alike. The only exception would be diabetics."

CAUTION: Infants, especially under 6 months of age, have relatively under developed throat muscles and raw honey, because of its thickness, could potentially represent a choking hazard to infants. Please exercise caution concerning the serving size when feeding raw honey to infants.
