This is a long quotation from "snopes.com" after a search. I will credit my sister with this information that she sent to me as she is big into nutrition and found a very interesting and informative couple of pages about what honey and cinnamon can do for you!

"Cinnamon & Honey

Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around.
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 diseases.

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, on 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 DISEASES:
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 200 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.

Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of

a day until the tooth stops aching.

Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed
in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient were found
to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within
two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times
a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information
received in the said journal, pure honey taken with food daily
relieves complaints of cholesterol. (By the way. if you're taking
cholesterol medicine, talk to your doctor! They all contain STATIN
which weaken your muscles...including YOUR HEART and none has been
shown to stop heart attacks or strokes!!!!

lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days.
This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the
sinuses.

helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body.

I often use honey when sick or not feeling well. I use a little cinnamon every day in my shakes.

If you buy cinnamon make sure not to buy cassia cinnamon, which is the cheap sort of cinnamon. Instead by ceylon cinnamon, it's more expensive but unlike cassia it does not contain coumarin (sp?) which can be harmful to the liver.

is the cassia cinnamon the cinnamon most available in local grocery stores?
i am assuming it says what type it is on the container...?
