Long time readers know I love it when I’m right. I love it when I get there first. Whether it’s beating Perez Hilton to bringing attention to Movember, or beating MTV to introducing Raven Digitalis, I always get a kick out of it. I’ve always been a fan of the underdog, and now that I’m an underdog in the overcrowded blog-o-sphere, I can’t help but occasionally cheer myself on.
All of this brings me to “The Honey Prescription”. Thanks to Healing Arts Press I received a review copy of “The Honey Prescription” by Nathaniel Altman, and in June 2010 I published my review of the book. I admitted that the book’s attention to science and abundance of information in general won me over. For those of you who didn’t see the review the first time around can click here to give it a go. I think you’ll like it.
Anyway, what got published on April 12, 2011 on the BBC News website? This! Yep, “Manuka honey ‘could help fight superbugs”. That’s right folks, thanks to Healing Arts Press and Nathaniel Altman, I beat the BBC. Okay, I know it’s not me really beating them, but darn it, let me just savor for a moment the idea of scooping the BBC!
You did! YOu beat them! Take that, BBC!
