I  don’t know how exactly this works but that’s nature for you. Perfect. And there is something in nature to heal or cure anything. Some we don’t know about yet & others we have tried to make a man made substitute for.

I have heard this many times before & have spoken to infection control nurses who agree that this is fact. If you are in a hospital and have any broken skin or wounds if you apply a layer of ACTIVE manuka honey to the skin it acts as a barrier against infection to the likes of MRSA. Worth packing with your bed clothes if your aware of a looming stay in a hospital bed.

This article was on Yahoo news today http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/01052009/36/world-s-first-chocolate-powered-racer-0.html    This is the worlds first formula 3 race car, which has been made with sustainable products such as, carrots, potatoes,  & cashew nut shells and runs on chocolate!

Recently there has been plenty of talk & debate on the subject of carbon emmissions, electric cars e.t.c, & all the positive aspects being outweighed by negatives. Electric sounds o.k. at first, but how much extra electricity woud your household bills incurr by charging your car battery & if the battery will only get yo 50 miles or so, would you consider changing your car to an electric at this time. Not me.

Could this car be a role model for future thinking in car manufacturing?

Last night, courgettes were in the bargin bucket in the local co-op.  So I took home, 2 very big, & mint condition  courgettes for 20p & stuck one in a juicer, with 3 slighly sad looking kiwi fruits. I was planning on executing a banana into this drink but after tasting just the kiwi & courgette I decided to leave it at that.

Very refreshing, low calorific value & a good fix of folate, Vitamins A, C & E .  And kiwi’s have almost as much potassium as a banana. Nice!
