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 Ban” (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of disease.
Today’s science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue dated 17 January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:
HEART DISEASE:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.
ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning, and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 2 00 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.
BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.
TOOTHACHE:
Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey and apply on the aching tooth. This may be applied three times a day until the tooth stops aching.

Εκείνο που σώζει και φτιάχνει καλά παιδιά είναι η ζωή των γονέων μέσα στο σπίτι ( Αγιος Πορφύριος )
Τα φερσίματα των παιδιών έχουν άμεση σχέση με την κατάσταση των γονέων. Όταν τα παιδιά πληγώνονται απ’ την κακή μεταξύ των γονέων τους συμπεριφορά, χάνουν δυνάμεις και διάθεση, να προχωρήσουν στην πρόοδο. Κακοχτίζονται και το οικοδόμημα της ψυχής τους κινδυνεύει από στιγμή σε στιγμή να γκρεμισθεί. Να σας πω και δύο παραδείγματα.
Είχαν έλθει δυο κοπελίτσες σ’ εμένανε κι η μια είχε κάτι πολύ άσχημα βιώματα και με ρωτούσαν που οφείλονται. Και τους είπα:
- Είναι απ’ το σπίτι, απ’ τους γονείς σας.
Κι όπως την «έβλεπα» την μια, λέω:
- Εσύ απ’ την μητέρα σου τα έχεις κληρονομήσει αυτά.
- Κι όμως, λέει, οι γονείς μας είναι τόσο τέλειοι άνθρωποι. Είναι χριστιανοί, εξομολογούνται, μεταλαμβάνουν, που μπορεί να πει κανείς, ζήσαμε μέσα στη θρησκεία. Εκτός... αν φταίει η θρησκεία, απαντάει εκείνη.
Τους λέω:
- Τίποτα δεν πιστεύω απ’ αυτά που μου λέτε. Εγώ ένα μόνο βλέπω, οι γονείς σας δεν τήνε ζουν τη χαρά του Χριστού.
Πάνω σ’ αυτό η άλλη είπε:
- Άκουσε, Μαρία, καλά λέει ο παππούλης, έχει δίκιο. Οι γονείς μας πάνε στον πνευματικό, στην Εξομολόγηση, στην Θεία Μετάληψη, ναι... Αλλά είχαμε ποτέ ειρήνη στο σπίτι; Ο πατέρας συνεχώς γκρίνιαζε με την μητέρας μας. Διαρκώς πότε ο ένας δεν έτρωγε, πότε ο άλλος δεν ήθελε να πάνε κάπου μαζί. Έχει δίκιο, λοιπόν, ο παππούλης.
- Πως τον λένε τον πατέρα σου; την ρωτάω.
Μου είπε.
- Πως την λένε την μητέρα σου;
Μου είπε.
- Ε, λέω, με την μητέρα σου δεν τα έχει καθόλου καλά μέσα σου.
Ακούστε με τώρα. Τη στιγμή που μου έλεγαν τον όνομα, έβλεπα τον πατέρα, έβλεπα την ψυχή του. Τη στιγμή που μου έλεγαν το όνομα της μητέρας, έβλεπα την μητέρα κι έβλεπα πως κοίταζε η κόρη την μητέρα της.
Κάποια άλλη μέρα ήλθε μια μητέρα με την μια της κόρη και μ’ επισκέφθηκαν. Ήταν στενοχωρημένη. Έκλαιγε με λυγμούς. Ένιωθε πολύ δυστυχισμένη.
- Τι έχεις; την ρωτάω.
- Είμαι απελπισμένη με την μεγάλη μου κόρη, η οποία έδιωξε τον άνδρα της απ’ το σπίτι και μας παραπλανούσε λέγοντας πολλά ψέματα.
- Τι ψέματα; της λέω.
- έδιωξε προ πολλού τον άνδρα της απ’ το σπίτι και δεν μας είπε τίποτα. Την ερωτούσαμε από τηλεφώνου, «τι κάνει ο Στέλιος;». «Καλά, μας απαντούσε, αυτή τη στιγμή πήγε να πάρει εφημερίδα». Κάθε φορά έβρισκε κάποια πρόφαση, ώστε να μην υποψιασθούμε τίποτα. Αυτό κράτησε δύο χρόνια. Μας το έκρυβε, που τον είχε διώξει. Προ ημερών το μάθαμε απ’ τον ίδιο, που τυχαία τον εσυναντήσαμε.
Της λέω, λοιπόν:
- Εσύ φταίεις. Εσύ κι ο άνδρας σου. Και πιο πολύ εσύ.
- Εγώ! που αγαπούσα τόσο τα παιδιά μου, που δεν έβγαινα απ’ την κουζίνα, που δεν είχα προσωπική ζωή, που τα οδηγούσα στον Θεό και στην Εκκλησία, που τα συμβούλευα στο καλό. Πώς φταίω εγώ;
Απευθύνθηκα στην άλλη κόρη, που ήταν παρούσα:
- Εσύ τι λέεις;
- Ναι, μαμά, έχει δίκιο ο παππούλης, ποτέ μα ποτέ δεν φάγαμε γλυκό ψωμί απ’ τα μαλώματα που κάνατε μια ζωή με τον μπαμπά.
- Βλέπεις, που έχω δίκιο; Εσείς φταίτε, εσείς τα τραυματίζετε τα παιδιά. Δεν φταίνε εκείνα, υφίστανται, όμως, τις συνέπειες.
Δημιουργείται μία κατάστασις στην ψυχή των παιδιών εξαιτίας των γονέων τους, που αφήνει ίχνη μέσα τους για όλη τους τη ζωή. Η συμπεριφορά τους στη συνέχεια της ζωής τους, η σχέση με τους άλλους έχουν άμεση εξάρτηση απ’ τα βιώματα που φέρουν απ’ τα παιδικά τους χρόνια. Μεγαλώνουν, μορφώνονται, αλλά κατά βάθος δεν αλλάζουν. Αυτό φαίνεται και στις πιο μικρές εκδηλώσεις της ζωής. Επί παραδείγματι, σου συμβαίνει μια λαιμαργία, να θέλεις να τρώεις. Πήρες, έφαγες, βλέπεις κάτι άλλο, το θέλεις κι εκείνο, το θέλεις και τ’ άλλο. Αισθάνεσαι ότι πεινάεις, ότι άμα δεν φάεις, σε πιάνει μια λιγούρα, μια τρεμούλα. Φοβάσαι ότι θ’ αδυνατίσεις. Είναι κάτι ψυχολογικό, που έχει εξήγηση. Μπορεί, ας πούμε, να μην εγνώρισες πατέρα, να μην εγνώρισες μητέρα, να είσαι υστερημένος και πεινασμένος, φτωχός κι αδύνατος. Κι αυτό από πνευματικό γεγονός εκδηλώνεται αντανακλαστικώς ως αδυναμία του σώματος.
Στην οικογένεια βρίσκεται μεγάλο μέρος απ’ την ευθύνη για την πνευματική κατάσταση του ανθρώπου. Για ν’ απαλλαγούν τα παιδιά από διάφορα εσωτερικά προβλήματα, δεν είναι αρκετές οι συμβουλές, οι εξαναγκασμοί, η λογική κι οι απειλές. Μάλλον γίνονται χειρότερα. Η διόρθωση γίνεται με τον εξαγιασμό των γονέων. Γίνεται άγιοι και δεν θα έχετε κανένα πρόβλημα με τα παιδιά σας. Η αγιότητα των γονέων απαλλάσσει τα παιδιά απ’ τα προβλήματα. Τα παιδιά θέλουν κοντά τους ανθρώπους αγίους, με πολλή αγάπη, που δεν θα τα φοβερίζουν, ούτε θα περιορίζονται στη διδασκαλία, αλλά θα δίδουν άγιο παράδειγμα και προσευχή. Να προσεύχεσθε οι γονείς σιωπηλά και με τα χέρια ψηλά προς τον Χριστό και ν’ αγκαλιάζετε τα παιδιά σας μυστικά. Κι όταν κάνουν αταξίες, να παίρνετε παιδαγωγικά μέτρα, αλλά να μην τα πιέζετε. Κυρίως να προσεύχεσθε.
Πολλές φορές οι γονείς, και κυρίως η μητέρα, πληγώνουν το παιδί γι’ αταξία που έκανε και το μαλώνουν υπερβολικά. Τότε αυτό πληγώνεται. Ακόμη κι αν δεν το μαλώσεις εξωτερικά και μέσα σου το μαλώσεις κι αγανακτήσεις ή το κοιτάξεις άγρια, το παιδί το καταλαβαίνει. Νομίζει ότι η μητέρα δεν το αγαπάει. Ρωτάει την μάνα:
- Μ’ αγαπάεις, μαμά;
- Ναι, παιδί μου.
Αλλ’ αυτό δεν πείθεται. Έχει πληγωθεί. Η μητέρα το αγαπάει, θα το χαϊδέψει μετά, αλλ’ αυτό θα κάνει το κεφάλι πίσω. Δεν δέχεται το χάδι, το νομίζει υποκρισία, γιατί έχει πληγωθεί.
Αγιος Πορφύριος
A miracle of Sts. Luke of Simferopol and Panteleimon
A young girl was going for surgery to a hospital in Simferopol. Her situation was very serious, and the surgery was difficult and dangerous.
The physician that was operating on her called the mother of the patient and told her: “The surgery is very difficult and dangerous. I can't guarantee anything. I don't know if your girl will come out alive.”
There was no other choice. The young girl was brought to the operating room.
Throughout the duration of the surgery, the mother was sitting in the yard of the hospital, and with tears in her eyes she prayed to St. Luke the Surgeon and to St. Panteleimon to help.
At one instant, before the mother's eyes, an astonishing event occurred: the wall of the hospital became invisible, like a pane of glass. The operating room appeared. In the hospital bed was her daughter, and around her were the surgeon and his helpers. Next to her was the surgical nurse who was holding the surgical instruments.
And more wondrously: Next to the surgeon she saw the Holy Physicians to whom she was praying. To the left was St. Panteleimon with a lit lamp. To the right was St. Luke, who every so often would take the tools from the nurse and give them to the surgeon!
The mother was struck with astonishment and amazement. She felt that her prayer had been answered. When the operation was finished, the surgeon exited full of joy and enthusiasm.
He called the mother and told her: “Things went very well, unbelievably well!”
Then, the mother related to him the wondrous event that she experienced. The surgeon was stunned. He did his cross and confessed: “Now I understand. During the operation, when I would want some surgeon's tool, I didn't even get to tell the nurse. As soon as I thought that I wanted some tool, I had it in my hands.”
From the book “Tachys eis Voetheian...” (“Speedy to help...”) (A 200 page book filled with new miracles of St. Luke the Surgeon),
by Fr. Nektarios Antonopoulos, Abbot of the Holy Monastery of Sagmata, Thebes

The Faithful Husband That Would Not Abandon His Unfaithful Wife ( Elder Joseph of Vatopaidi )

The husband however, from the day that she left him, never stopped praying with tears and insisting - in fact exhorting God: "All Good One, I will not retreat, I will not leave You alone; You were the One who gave me my wife. 'By the Lord is a man and woman harmonized' (according to the Bible). I want my wife. If the young girl has been deceived, must she be lost? Why did You come down to earth? Didn't You come to find the lost ones, to heal the sick, to resurrect the dead? I will not retreat. I will not let You rest. I want my wife; bring her back to me." He wept for two whole years.
His prayer was eventually heard and the young woman came to her senses. "Oh my," she confessed, "God will have to create another Hell, because this one is too small for me!"
So she sat down and wrote him a letter, saying: "I dare not address your name; I have no such right. If I return, will you accept me as your servant?"
He replied: "My love, why did you mention that word and hurt my feelings? Wasn't it me who sent you on a vacation and I was longing for my love to return to my open arms?"
So, he went and waited for her at the airport, as they had arranged. When she arrived, she fell down and began to beat herself and cry. He took her in his arms.
"My love, why are you like this and hurt my feelings? I was longing to see you again. Let's go home now; we never parted - I was always with you."
And this young girl proved herself to be a faithful wife from then on.
And that is the stance that a man - a husband - should take.
Elder Joseph of Vatopaidi
