Honey and Cinnamon

Good morning all!
I recently received an e-mail about honey and cinnamon that intrigued me.  Basically what it this e-mail claims is that honey and cinnamon combined have huge possibilities for curing all kinds of diseases as well as alleviating some troublesome symptoms attached to those diseases.  Some of the claims are pretty amazing - helping prevent heart disease, curing arthritis completely, clearing up bladder infections, lowering cholesterol, curing common colds, helping with upset stomachs, relieving gas, strengthening the immune system, relieving indigestion, killing flu viruses, removing pimples, increasing life span, clearing up skin infections like eczema and ringworm, preventing and curing certain types of cancer, reducing fatigue, curing bad breath, restoring hearing, and even helping lose weight.   That is quite a hefty list. 
I did a little bit of poking around on the web to see if there had been any studies or clinical trials proving any of these claims, and didn't really find anything substantial.  I've included a couple of links at the bottom in case anyone else is interested in reading what I found. 
In regards to weight loss, it never ceases to amaze me how many people are willing to try things like this to get around actual work.  It is possible a combination of honey and cinnamon with water helps when trying to lose weight; however, nothing is going to replace a healthy diet and exercise.  Some of the sites I found stress that both of those WITH honey and cinnamon will provide faster weight loss.  Some sites state that you didn't need to change anything at all except to drink this honey/cinnamon concoction.
I think that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That saying may be trite, but it is definitely true in my opinion.

This last link I found very interesting - it is a clinical study that is currently being conducted for the effect of Manuka honey for oral mucositis caused by radiation therapy for cancer.

I would definitely like to see the outcome of that study.
