I broke my ankle in cyprus in 2003. I had to have plates and screws fitted. The wound itself would not heal, it got almost there and totally broke down again. I had to have about 3 operations to clear the infection out but the same thing kept happenning. The Consultant Surgeons were just not getting anywhere, saying that with my ankle swelling it was pulling the skin and would never heal. I would probably have to wear a tight support for life. Which no way I was going to do. My wife saw Manuka Honey advertised at a local health shop and asked me to try it saying I'd got nothing to lose. Highly sceptical I did, within 3 weeks the wound had healed totally and the Surgeon was amazed. he said whatever you are doing carry on. I told him it was the honey and he was more sceptical than me until I showed him the tube. Now I recommend it to everybody.
