The following email is not exactly on the 'supernatural' or spiritual end of things but our physical body can impact how we perceive everything else. It came in an email followed by a second email that Stephanie had received regarding not using just any type of cinnamon but instead only
Ceylon Cinnamon. The kind we most commonly get in grocery stores is cassia cinnamon and contains too much coumarin which is not a big deal if you are using cinnamon as a spice; but if you are using it, as the email suggests, as a medicine, then it could be too much for your liver and toxic.
So I cannot say how valid the claims for honey and cinnamon are. Definitely some seem way out there to me, but I am increasing my cinnamon and honey intake because I don't see how it can hurt anything. I buy Ceylon Cinnamon from Penzeys which is online. I consider it a good source of spices that are fresher and of better quality than found in stores. Ceylon cinnamon might be available in health food stores also. I don't know. I am not using organic honey but will get some whenever my honey runs out... so to speak.

I sent out this email several years ago and feel it is important enough to resend it. It works great for indigestion and heartburn as well. Stephanie
Cinnamon and Honey
Facts on Honey and Cinnamon
It is found that a mixture of honey and cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Bam' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases. I highly recommend that you use Organic Raw Honey which is in its purest and most beneficial state. This honey can be purchased in most health food stores. In Tucson, AZ, honey from Lusbys (I know Dee Lusby personally) is the highest quality in Arizona and most of the United States and can be purchased from New Life Health Centers. Last year I took a bee keeping course from her and hardly anyone in the world, for that matter, makes such pure honey.
