(oh, you didn't mean me when you said 'honey!'... nevermind) ;-)
I think honey is a great idea. It has been mentioned here before. I would have tried it a few months ago, but honey does weird things to my blood Sugar and my gum bacteria/teeth plaque (they go into overdrive with the tiniest smidgen of honey exposure, I don't know why).
Please do us all a favor -- keep us updated with your lip condition. Not only write again in a few days when/if your lips look "normal", but please write again 2 weeks or 4 weeks *after* you stop using the honey, to let us know if your lips are still normal and healthy, because then we will know if the honey cured you or not. Please don't disappear until you can confirm to us that you are cured.
