The Honey Prescription by Nathaniel Altman
ALTERNATIVE HEALTH For millennia the honeybee has kept humans healthy by pollinating so many of our fruits and vegetables and by providing two of nature's most sacred healing substances: honey and propolis. After decades of ignorance, doctors are rediscovering the power of these miracle medicines, and Nathaniel Altman is here to spread the good news. The Honey Prescription will amaze you, delight you, and, most important, give you a fantastic new ally to promote natural wellness. --Rowan Jacobsen, author of Fruitless Fall: The Collapse of the Honey Bee and the Coming Agricultural Crisis The use of honey as a healing agent is nothing new. It was an ingredient in medicinal compounds and cures made by Egyptian physicians 5,000 years ago, and its medical use has been found in other ancient practices from traditional Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurveda to Mayan shamanism. In the past ten years there has been an explosion in scientific research on honey as medicine at universities, research centers, and medical clinics around the world. Presenting the very latest scientific and medical evidence of the healing properties of honey--including that from the Honey Research Unit at the University of Waikato in New Zealand--Nathaniel Altman explores the broad spectrum of medicinal uses of honey and how these remedies can be used safely at home as well as by licensed health care practitioners. He includes an extensive selection of honey-based recipes that can be used to treat common health problems--from burns, conjuctivitis, and ulcers to tooth decay, diabetes, and cystic fibrosis. He explains the physiological reasons why honey is so effective in treating antibioticresistant diseases with no side effects and honey's ability to kill E. coli and superbugs like MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Drawing on centuries of material from historical and folk medicine sources, he also examines the sacred role of bees from ancient Egypt onward and the modern problem of Colony Collapse Disorder, including methods for protecting our precious hives. NATHANIEL ALTMAN is a medical writer and researcher who has written more than 15 books on alternative healing, including The Oxygen Prescription, Healing Springs, and A Russian Herbal. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Nathaniel Altman is a Brooklyn-based writer, teacher and hand analyst who has authored more than twenty books on spirituality, peace studies, healthy diets, alternative healing, nature and relationship. Nathaniel has been reading hands since 1969, after developing an interest in palmistry while studying in South America. He soon began reading the hands of everyone he knew, and started taking prints of the hands of family members and friends. This has grown to a collection of thousands of handprints, some of which appear in this book. Nathaniel's hobby gradually developed into a profession. Over the years he has read the hands of over 25,000 individuals, including those he has met at a wide variety of corporate events sponsored by Martha Stewart Omnimedia, Time Warner, HBO, American Lawyer Media, Avon, Merrill Lynch, The New York Times Company, Dr. Pepper, Bloomberg, Cravath, Swaine & Moore, The Whitney Museum of American Art, McKinsey & Company, Mail.com, America Online and others.

The original edition of Palmistry: The Universal Guide was published by Sterling in 2009. Nathaniel's palmistry titles have been translated into more than a dozen languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, Dutch, Arabic, Serbian, Hebrew, Estonian, Swedish, Finnish, Thai, Italian, German, Russian and Chinese. A 1971 graduate of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Nathaniel served as a faculty member at the Krotona School of Theosophy in Ojai, California.
