Molly Bee Good- Through The Desert and to The Woods: Part I

Molly Bee Good Friends: Welcome back. Our inspiration and transitions along the way have become too numerous. Counting blessings is something we all need to do and when they become so vast that keeping an honest tally becomes overwhelming one brims with joy. So today we speak to you brimming and fully enamoured with life. When we last spoke we were on our way to California. A lot has changed since then. For example, one motorcycle has turned over 87,000 then 88,000 and now hangs on the verge of 89,000 miles. I suspect we will reach 90,000 miles before we pull in to our driveway.
Apitherapy has proven to be a wonderful subject to breach when trying to connect with strangers. When you teach people that they can heal themselves in so many ways using substances produced by a community of thousands working in congress for survival, their jaws often drop. When you tell them that the side effects tend to be minimal, that they can live a healthier life and that they can pass this knowledge on to keep loved ones healthy, too, they are grateful. When you share true life stories about how others have already made these choices in their lives and have reaped the benefits their eyes fill with possibility.
We spoke with many people who were dealing with diabetes. According to data from the 2011 National Diabetes Fact Sheet (released January 26, 2011) 25,800,000 children and adults have diabetes and 79 million are living in a pre-diabetic state; fully one-third of Americans. One in three! The El Paso Diabetes Association's anual Race Against Diabetes packet pick-up proved to be a great time to connect with many who need honey in their lives, just didn't know it.
Fact 1: Raw honey can be used as a topical for the treatment of wounds. As any diabetic knows, healing wounds is a very important and serious matter. Raw honey actually promotes the healing process.
Fact 2: Honey has a lower glycemic index and is sweeter than white table sugar. It also has already been broken down into glucose and fructose- two simple sugars that our body can use directly. This all means that can be used in smaller amounts and will not cause the sugar spikes associated with white sugar. Raw honey is also full of minerals, vitamins and live enzymes; all useful in our bodies.
