Just to add some more to your mention of manuka honey. It is also been found to be great for wounds, burns, and leg ulcers. However it’s effectiveness in these areas, and for aiding against H. Pylori is based on properly tested batches of the manuka honey that have been found to have sufficient levels of its natural antibacterial properties to qualify for the ‘UMF’ label - Unique Manuka Factor. Not all manuka honey is the same, it naturally occurs with different levels of potency.
